Title: Their Own Fault
Author: badly_knitted
Characters: Tenth Doctor, Torchwood One.
Rating: G
Written For: Challenge 1033: ‘Hubris’ at dw100.
Spoilers: Army of Ghosts / Doomsday.
Summary: Torchwood One is falling, and it’s their own fault.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Doctor Who, or the characters.
 


 

Torchwood One had grown too big for their boots. The way they treated aliens, and claimed anything of alien origin as their sovereign property, no matter who it belonged to, made the Doctor furious, but now they’d gone too far, and he wasn’t sure he’d be able to stop what they’d started.
 

Not that they wanted his help. In their eyes he was public enemy number one, but he couldn’t stand idle while Cybermen and Daleks killed or converted everyone in their path.
 

Yvonne Hartman’s hubris had caused this, she deserved her fate, but the hundreds of innocent bystanders didn’t.

I'd be furious too.

The Doctor did save the day, but a lot of people died. 27 survivors from over 800 Torchwood One staff.

Thank you!
