AN: Ok I'm new to the site but I will have a bash at writing.

Synopsis: When the Hub is hit by a sudden storm one of the crew is fatally injured…but the Hub locks down when in danger. Can the team fix the problem before it's too late…or will the weevils get them?

Disclaimer: Sadly I do not have the genius to invent such characters such as the ones included in this tale. They are the genius of Russell T Davis.

Chapter 1

Storm Warning

Ianto ran as fast as he could from his car to the Hub in the pouring rain. Above the sky exploded as a lightening bolt illuminated the dank scene. As Ianto shut the door of the information centre he shook his hair to get rid of the ocean that had dropped onto him, or what seemed like an ocean!

He shivered, then took his bundle into the Hub, it had been a long day and the others needed something to eat before they keeled over. The others looked up and grabbed anything they could get their hands on and began eating. Jack sauntered up to Ianto, smiled weakly and joined the frenzy.

Ianto shivered again, how he could get so wet in such a short space of time was beyond him. He sat down and joined in a conversation about the Rift and how volatile it had become since it had opened. Again Owen was the one who took the blame.

"Well it is all your fault, if you hadn't have opened the thing we wouldn't have to clear up all those weevils, I've never seen so many in all my life!" Moaned Gwen through a mouthful of chow mien. This was true; the Rift had chucked out more and more weevils everyday. The basement was nearly full and more had been sighted just outside of Cardiff.

Owen groaned at the ceiling and started to shout, "I said I was sorry! God with the way you lot go on it's like you would have been better off with Tosh and Jack back in 1941 being BLOWN UP!" The others fell silent, and continued eating. Owen relaxed and felt bad about his outburst. He had already suffered enough in the past few days because of the Rift.

"Sorry…alright. I don't sleep enough already, now I can be sure to be up all hours of the night." Grumbled Owen quietly. Gwen felt worse, she knew that Owen had lost sleep over the matter and had sad up all night over the phone trying to stop him committing suicide.

"Nah' its partly my fault, I helped…we all did." Soothed Gwen, she put an arm around Owen, who had slumped into the sofa.

Suddenly another bolt of lightening hit close by, it surged into the Hub down the fountain and jumped across the rest of the Hub. Nearby computers burst into flames in response to the overload of power. Owen swore loudly and ran over to save what he could; Ianto ran over to the main switch and went to turn off the power to stop the Hub locking down. Before he had chance to get to the switch a nearby fuse exploded and blew his halfway across the Hub and into a pile on the floor.

"IANTO!" Cried Jack in alarm and hurtled over to the lifeless form. He shook him desperately; a trickle of blood came from under Ianto's hair.

"Owen! Get over here it's bad!" Jack yelled over to Owen, who was still trying to save what he could. He didn't hear Ianto's cries of terror as he was thrown across the Hub. When he looked up to Jack' cries he swore under his breath.

"Gwen I need a hand here, Tosh you too!" Called Owen to the girls, who had been transfixed by Ianto's accident. They snapped back to reality and helped Jack carry the broken form of Ianto to Owen's medical table. Ianto moaned as he was laid down, Gwen put his head onto her coat. He stared around wondering what had happened to him. His left arm felt like someone had hit it with a pole and his ribs felt terrible.

"What happened?" He managed to croak to the bewildered but relieved audience.

"You decided that flying was for the birds and broke three ribs and your arm in the process." Joked Owen, who was removing Ianto's jacket as carefully as he could to patch up Ianto. The power had gone, the steel doors shut, they were trapped!

Jack suddenly had a thought, the cells opened when all power was lost. Then it hit him like a tonne of bricks.

"The Weevils! Oh God why didn't I realise this earlier?" He groaned.

The others also realised the problem. Owen finished patching up Ianto and joined the others by Tosh's computer, the only one to escape damage. She pulled up surveillance cameras in the Cells and gasped at the sight. Empty cells. Jack came away from the computer and grabbed weapons. "We have to into the basement and start up the power again and get out of here."

He threw them over to each member of the team apart from Ianto.

"Stay here and do what you can to open the doors, shoot to kill guys." Ordered Jack heading towards the basement.

Owen and Tosh followed suit, guns at the ready. Gwen hung back and waved to Ianto, he waved slowly, but regretted it due to his broken ribs.
