It had been three years since Jack Harkness lost his lover, three years since he abandoned Gwen Cooper to live a normal life. Three years since Jack Harkness lost everything. Jack had finally returned to Cardiff, in search of rebuilding Torchwood. New staff, new building, new Jack. That is what he aimed for, but he couldn't think of not having his team. Not having Toshiko Sato, not having Owen Harper, not having Gwen Cooper and certainly not having Ianto Jones. Ianto Jones, his lover. It brought him to tears just thinking about it.
Jack walked passed the Plass, seeing the Water Tower had been rebuilt. He knew he could rebuild Torchwood. He would just have to find the right team members that would not remind him of his previous team. He ran down to the bay, running through the visitor's centre, pushing the red button behind the desk. He took the lift down to where the hub originally was, getting surprised when he saw it looked just how it had before. He heard someone speaking, with a Welsh accent. He knew that voice anywhere. He thought this was all a dream. The owner of the Welsh voice stared at the ex-time agent.
"Jack bloody Harkness!" the owner screamed, wrapping him into a hug.
"Gwen Cooper. Or is it Williams? Never did quite learn it" Jack laughed.
"You staying for good then, Jack?" another welsh voice came from behind them.
"You know me, Rhys. Here and there, busy man" Jack said, pulling out of Gwen's grip.
"Have you sorted your head out then?" Gwen asked, tapping Jack's forehead.
"Well, as much as I can" Jack grinned then looked around the hub. "Redecorated, I see."
"Well we had to, if the world wasn't going to get over-done by aliens in your absence. And it was left in ruins…" Gwen trailed off.
Jack nodded, then he heard crashing and banging coming from a part of the hub.
"What's that?" he asked.
"That's our new coffee boy…Well I say new, I mean old" Gwen grinned.
"Ianto? But…but he died, didn't he?" Jack looked at Gwen then Rhys, confused.
"Oh that's what you thought, sir. Coffee?" the voice of a Welsh man came from the left of the Captain.
