This was sort of my attempt to both increase my writing of my favourite pairing (Jack/Ianto forever!) and write a tribute to the ULTIMATE fan pairing Kirk/Spock. Plus, it is my first really attempt at hard-core Gwen bashing. I just hope everything goes well. Plus, I always pictured Ianto as a closet Trekkie (Since he has the manic sense of humour which most sci-fi fans seem to have)
WARNING: MAJOR spoilers for the latest movie Star Trek XI. Plus, I should remind everyone that this is Slash (Although not graphic) If its not your cup of tea then you really shouldn't be here. And there is Gwen Bashing. I'm sorry if you don't like it but this is my fic and I can do whatever I want with her.
Disclaimer: I don't own Torchwood and don't own Star Trek (In fact, I wasn't even born when Star Trek: The Original Series was popular. I just grew up with Trekkies for parents)

Jack was excited. In fact, he was almost bouncing in his seat. It had been ages since he had been to a real cinema, sat in the dark and waited with excitement for the movie to start. But he couldn't take all the credit. It had been Gwen's idea really. She had thought it would be a good way to relax after the stress the team had recently faced with the death of two of their team mates and the end of the world at the hands (If they even had them) of the Daleks. Jack had instantly agreed, leading to a search through the news papers for the perfect film. Gwen had put in her vote for 'Ghosts of a Girlfriends Past' However; Jack didn't think he could face a chick-flick again. He had already allowed Gwen to drag the team off to the movies once. It had taken him 'days' to stop feeling uncomfortable around Ianto after watching 'The Sex in the City Movie'. Ianto. Jack glanced over at the younger man, the Welshman's expression suggesting he was also trying to repress that particular memory. Jack glanced down at the paper again. A movie title caught his eye. He read it, slowly grinning as he remembered and incident only a few days earlier.
Jack and Ianto had been fooling around in the tea room after hours when a particularly rough embrace had sent them both flying to the floor, the remote tumbling down next to them. They had both ignored the tv flickering on and continued their activities. In fact, it wasn't until later, when Jack had returned from collecting food from the kitchen, that he noticed it.
Ianto had seated himself on the couch, his shirt still showing the wrinkles from the floor, the remote resting on his lap, his eyes glued to the screen. Sliding across the couch to rest against his lover, Jack turned his eyes to the screen.
"What ya watching?" he asked, his nose rubbing against Iantos neck.
"Star Trek: Next Generation" Ianto replied.
Jack turned to the screen, watching the 'special effects' suggesting a futuristic reality. He had heard of the show before but it had never really interested him.
"Next Generation?" he asked.
Beside him, Ianto shrugged.
"It's a spinoff of an old science fiction classic. I use to watch the original Star Trek as a kid."
Jack grinned at the mental image of Ianto as a kid.
In silence, they continued to watch the episode, Jack relaxing as the plot unravelled, enjoying the story as the crew of the star ship battled against strange aliens. Finally, the titles ended. Slowly, Jack stood up and stretched. The tv flashed a green warning, a movie trailer. Jack felt, rather than saw Ianto sit up, his eyes glued to the screen. Turning, Jack saw the words flash across the screen. 'Star Trek' it read 'In Cinemas Now'.
Grinning, Ianto lent back against the couch.
Jack hadn't thought much about that part of the night, other memories of their time together taking priority.
However, the moment he saw the ad in the paper, Jacks mind had flashed back the slow, happy grin which had spread across Iantos face the moment the trailer had played.
Jack put the paper down.
"I've decided. We are going to see Star Trek" he said allowed, enjoying the small smile Ianto sent him and ignoring the pout from Gwen.
----------
The team entered the cinema, a tense twenty minutes later. Gwen had spent the whole ride complaining that they should go and see a movie all three of them wanted to see, not just Jack. Ianto hadn't helped the situation by informing Gwen that he too, wanted to see the film and that, if she wasn't interested, she could go home. Gwen had crossed her arms over her chest and glared at the floor.
"Typical Ianto has to be a bloody Trekkie" she muttered, just within Jacks hearing.
Jack had just rolled his eyes at her behaviour.
Finding seats wasn't too difficult. The movie was a late night showing and very few people were around. The team made their way to the middle isle, Gwen first, then Jack, with Ianto following him.
Once seated, Jack decided to ask Ianto his nagging question.
"So, what's this film about?"
Beside him, Gwen almost chocked on her popcorn.
"You don't know?" she hissed at him.
Jack ignored her, looking at Ianto for an answer.
Ianto gave a small shrug.
"I believe it is the origin story of two of the most famous characters in the Star Trek universe. Captain James T Kirk and Mr Spock."
"Mr Spock?" Jack asked, but was shushed as the lights went off and the film began.
----------
The Torchwood team managed to make in a quarter of the way through the film before Jack, being Jack, started asking questions. They were watching the scene where Kirk was being disciplined for cheating. It only took a glance between the two main characters to set Jack off.
"Oh, I get it!" he whispered loudly "Kirk and Spock are sleeping together!"
On Jacks left, Ianto let out a little giggle, while on Jacks right, Gwen began chocking again.
"No they are not, Jack!" she whispered angrily.
"Come on Gwen." Jack replied, excited that he had worked things out. "The sexual tension is huge"
Even in the dark, both men could see Gwen's glare.
----------
A few action scenes later and Jack was trying hard not to look at Gwen's triumphant face, as on the screen, Spock made out with Uhura in a lift. Glancing over at Ianto, he couldn't help but notice the young Welshman's look of shock. A snap decision was all it took. Jack reached towards his partner and pulled Ianto into a kiss. The kiss lasted for a few moments before Ianto pulled away.
"Jack!" he whispered.
"Sorry, but they were giving me ideas." Jack replied, grinning.
Ianto gave him a small smile.
"After the movie Captain. I really want to watch this."
Pouting slightly, Jack fell back into his seat, but left his hand resting on Ianto's thigh.
On his other side, Gwen sunk down into her seat.
----------
A few scenes later, and much feeling of his partner, much to Ianto's dismay, Jack had relaxed back into the film. Kirk had been marooned on an ice world by Spock in what Jack had mentally labelled, a lovers tiff, and was being chased by a huge ice monster. He watched as the creature was driven off by a new character. He hadn't expected Ianto's gasp of surprise as the older character revealed himself.
"No Way!" the Welshman whispered loudly.
Jack turned to stare at him.
"What is it?" he asked.
Ianto didn't take his eyes away from the screen.
"It's Spock. The original Spock!" Ianto whispered back, almost bouncing in his seat in excitement.
Jack turned back to the screen. A few tense minutes and a mind meld later, and Jack had swung back to his theory.
"Of course Kirk looks shocked." He proclaimed "The older Spock probably just showed him memories of them going at it."
Neither of the men turned around as Gwen growled under her breath.
-----------
Another few minutes and the introduction of a rather cute Scotsmen later, and Jack was at it again, as Kirk provoked Spock enough to lash out at him.
"You know, I don't mind a little roughing up every now and again" he muttered in Ianto's direction.
Gwen turned around in her seat.
"Of gods sack Jack. Kirk and Spock are not together and you are the only person in the universe who seems to think they are!" She angrily whispered.
With a slow smile, Ianto lent over Jacks lap towards Gwen.
"Actually Gwen, the theory that Kirk and Spock are together is one of the oldest and most popular ideas in any creative fandom. In fact, they are considered the ultimate Slash pairing."
Jacks ears pricked up.
"Slash?" he asked.
"A homosexual relationship created or encouraged in creative fiction."
Jack grinned.
"So what we have is Slash?" he asked, deliberately misunderstanding.
"No Jack. What we have is real. And no one can ever deny it." Ianto replied.
He glanced over at Gwen, who looked ready to kill someone.
"Shut up and watch the movie. You were the one who wanted to see it." She hissed at him.
----------
The movie finally ended, with Jack only managing one more comment, when Spock requested and was given the roll of Commander of the Enterprise. It was something along the lines of.
"Well, at least they can share the bed."
The team made their way outside into the cold Cardiff Street, Gwen still glaring daggers at both her co-workers, her normal air of superiority returning, despite the fact that she was the lowest ranked member of the team (Ianto had encouraged her to believe that she was second in command, in order to keep her out of his hair, despite her being the least experienced of any Torchwood operative he had ever met).
"I'm going to call my 'husband'" she snapped at the two of them.
Turning on her heels, Gwen stomped off into the night.
Jack ignored her and placed a hand on Ianto's hip.
"You know" he whispered in the Welshmen's ear. "We are sort of like those two. The dashing, rebellious and heroic captain, and his cute, logical and intelligent second in command."
Ianto lent into Jacks chest.
"Perhaps Captain" he muttered in his best 'dead-pan' voice. "It would be logical for us to retire to a more secluded spot?"
Jack gave a small laugh against Ianto's neck.
"Fine, but you are going to teach me the Vulcan Salute."
"Of course Captain." Ianto whispered as he turned against Jacks chest and wrapped his arms around the Time Agents neck. "Thrusters on Full"
----------
Anyone who has seen the latest movie would recognise that last line as the comment made by Spock Prime as he watched Kirk receive his medal. I always thought it sounded a little too sexual to ignore.
