here comes your man
Somewhere in the halls of the Kashtta Tower is Daniel Faraday, thoughts jumbled and gaze unfocused, leaning against a wall. In his hands is his journal, a leather-bound book of equations, theories, diagrams, and plans, years and years of work scribbled down on almost every page.
He doesn't know why he brought it with him.
It could serve as a resume of sorts, he imagines, should any of the Torchwood members doubt Juliet's judgment in recruiting him to their ranks... again. Sort of.
He frowns at it, pulling one sweaty hand away. He shouldn't be this nervous.
A few seconds pass before he opens the front cover, his mother's handwriting waiting on the very first page, a reminder of who he is and where he came from and what he's done... and what's happened to him. This job is dangerous, Gwen had written. Very. Sometimes. He isn't sure he's capable of facing danger without getting himself killed (again), though.
He silently assures himself that they'll train him. He'll learn self-defense, even if it is through the barrel of a gun. He has Bean's necklace, which he hasn't needed yet, but he has faith that it won't fail him, should he ever need it. I'm going to be fine. This is his new mantra. He'll move from his spot when he believes it.
(This may take a while.)
