Disclaimer: I do not own Torchwood or any of the team - although there are two I'd like to own.
Set: before the end of season 2 (before Tosh and Owen are dead -sob).
Summary: Ianto is kidnapped by some aliens and the others have to save him.
So… let's begin…
Chapter 1
The rift monitor had been quiet all day, which was a strange thing in itself, but added to the fact that there was laughter and whoops of joy echoing throughout the Hub instead of the normal muted silence occasionally broken by one of Owens sarcastic remarks about the teaboy. The entire team were down in the main area of the Hub playing a fun - and sexual in Jack and Ianto's case - of basketball. Owen had the ball and was dodging both Jack and Gwen when he decided to shoot. Jack reached for it but it was way to high for him to reach, for anyone to reach in fact. But Ianto ran, dived up for it catching it in his outstretched hands and landed on both feet. Everyone had stopped laughing, frozen in -place after watching Ianto - the ever-so-human Ianto - catch a ball that he couldn't have been able to reach.
It was Jack who snapped out of his state of shock first, pulling out his weapon that was constantly attached to his waist, he pointed it directly at Ianto and said quietly yet forcefully, "who are you? Or should I say what are you?"
Tosh was the second to snap out of it and she too pointed her firearm at Ianto. Owen and Gwen quickly followed suit. It might not have been too strange for anyone who worked outside of Torchwood to reasonably assume that Ianto had just dived up with a bit too much vigour, but they didn't work outside of Torchwood, they worked for it.
"I'll ask again, who are you?" Jack repeated, his voice becoming laced with anger. "What are you?"
"I'm not the Ianto you all know if that's what you want to know. As to what species I am, well you're not going to be around long enough to find out." Ianto - no IT - responded using the welsh vowels that Jack so loved to hear to explain itself.
Without another word or even a hesitation it attacked.
I'm hoping to post the next chapter up soon, I know it's short but hey! I'm new at this!!
