Gwen skipped into the hub humming a song gently, She flicked the light on and looked around 'JACK! Ianto!' She called taking off her coat and putting on her desk lamp, there was a clatter and her head snapped up to jacks office where she saw two figures walking around 'You two having shangains in the dark?' She grinned to herself, then looked as ianto ran down the stairs doing up his shirt 'Morning.' He said blushing running into the kitchen and popping the kettle on. She looked back up to see jack looking proud of himself leaning on the doorframe of his office, doing up his zipper.
'Couples.' She muttered under her breath logging onto her torchwood account, Ianto started making coffee his bright cheeks had faded and he looked calmer. He placed a cup on Gwen's desk with a smile then padded upstairs to jacks Office, He knocked on the door and walked in 'Coffee sir' Jack turned around and grinned at Ianto, he nodded to the desk and sat on the corner grabbing ianto round the waist and pulling ianto to his hips. he kissed his lips then spread a gorgeous grin on his face, ear to ear. Ianto wasn't sure what to do, so he just smiled back, breathing in jacks smell. 'Best get back to work' Ianto said wriggling out of jacks arms, Jack groaned then sipped his coffee, ianto turned to see his expression, Jack smiled and smelled the coffee, 'You're a genius Ianto Jones.' Ianto nodded then walked out down the stairs looking back at jack one more time before he got back to the bottom. He let out a small breath.
Gwen was tapping away at the keyboard, 'No rift activity for the past week, weird' She said, ianto came over and placed a hand on her shoulder 'is that really a bad thing?' He mumbled lowering his head to look at the screen. There was a shout and then jack ran down the stairs carrying a pile of papers, He slammed them down on the coffee desk and spread them out, Ianto and Gwen looked at each other then walked over to look at the papers. 'Thirteen dead bodies turned up at the bay, all of them drowned.' Jack said looking down at all the papers on the table. 'So?' ianto asked moving to stand next to Jack to look at it properly, 'They all had the same water in their lungs, not salt water. Sugar water, they found traces of sugar. They obviously didn't drown in the sea.' Jack said folding his arms and looking at Ianto in the corner of his eye. Gwen's eyebrows were creased 'You think something odds going on?' She said bending down to look at the victims. 'No.' jack replied 'I know there is.'
Ianto shifted on his heels waiting for jack to explain '50 years ago, twenty bodies were found with the same substance in their lungs, Torchwood wasn't as high tech as we are now, we couldn't Track it. And now its back.' He said. Ianto nodded giving jack a look then looking back at the table. 'So were going where?' Gwen asked peering up at Jack. 'Honestly Cooper, I thought you would get that by now were going-' Jack began 'Underwater.' Ianto finished his sentence shaking his head. Jack knew Ianto was scared of the sea, Not knowing what was down there, but it exited him just thinking about seeing ianto in a Diving suit again.
Gwen had packed her bags and was sitting on the stairs of the hub on the phone to Rhys, Telling him she loved him and listing chores that needed to be done. Ianto was in jacks office watching him pack shirt after shirt, 'How long are we going to be down there?' Ianto asked a slight sign of fear in his voice; Jack looked up at him and watched as he ringed his hands in his lap. 'Calm down ianto.' He said grabbing his hands then pecking his forehead as he carried on packing, He was on underwear now. When they had all finished packing they loaded the van with their bags and got in the car. Ianto slid in the seat next to Jack casually, Gwen went in the back. She was used to it now, the past couple of month's ianto and jack had gotten closer, and they were nearly inseparable.
Jack took off leaving the hub behind them, 'So, Where are we going?' Gwen asked leaning forward a bit to peer through windscreen, 'Torchwood boating faculty' Jack said not taking his eyes off the road as the zoomed around a round-a-bout, 'you what?' Gwen said pulling her eyebrows together in confusion, she looked at ianto who had the same expression on his face. They waited in silence for jack to explain, he sighed, 'I had to keep it a secret imagine If you all knew, Owen would've gone racing it insanely fast, god knows what Tosh would've done to them.' Jack said then carried on 'And you Gwen, you would want to take it out with lover-boy' he turned and winked at her. He placed a hand on Iantos thigh, too high to be just friendly 'I know exactly what you would want to do' he peered at ianto as he blushed and turned away looking out the window, but not shaking off jacks hand. Gwen leaned back on her seat sniggering.
Jack rubbed Iantos thigh then put his hand on the gear stick pulling it into park as the stopped on a beach, Ianto and Gwen scrambled out the car and looked around. Jack slowly got out the door and coughed pointing at a dark cave. 'Shit.' Gwen said walking over to jack with ianto close behind, Jack handed them all a torch and pointed them to go ahead, Gwen went first and jack clenched Iantos hand as the shuffled down the dark path, the path started to slope going downwards, ten Gwen came to a big metal door. Jack let go of Iantos hand just before Gwen swung around 'Metal door?' she said, Jack walked passed Gwen and punched in a code that sent different sounding beeps echoing trough the halls, the metal door clicked and swung open revealing a large room lit with lights, there were boats everywhere.
Jack guided them through the boats to a dark corner in the right, he flicked a switch and lights lit around a huge submarine floating above water. Ianto whistled in amazement, 'She's a beauty' ianto said waling closer to it' Jack nodded in agreement, then opened the door. 'Come on , work to do' Gwen followed ianto and jack into the sub looking amazed at it.
Inside there was a large ahead with desks and buttons that flashed, they gave ianto a head ache and he swerved round a different corner to see two bedrooms, 'Urm…' Ianto said, 'Yeah?' Jack shouted back popping his head round the corner. 'Only two bedrooms' ianto said raising is hands to the beds, 'And?...' Jack said. 'Well I… uh…' Ianto started to say, 'Exactly' Jack said grinning then swinging back around the corner. Ianto placed his Bags in one of the bedroom the walked the hallways to a bathroom, it was tiny, Gwen Would not be happy.
'hey ianto!' Jack called a minute later, Ianto strode back into the Button room looking at jack expectantly, Jack just pointed to a door to the right, ianto pushed opened the door and stood amazed at the site. Inside was a long room with chairs and tables, and the shiniest coffee machines He had ever seen. 'Gah' He said running over and examining it, Jack walked in and wrapped his arms around his waist, and 'I have something else as well' jack whispered in his ear grabbing his hand and pulling him over to another room, Inside was rows of diving equipment, He pointed to the same suit ianto had worn on another mission, Ianto sighed and shook his head, jack kissed him gently running his hand through his hair.
They went back to the room, Gwen had checked out the bathroom 'Honestly jack, you have a row of diving crap but you couldn't get a bigger shower' Ianto knew she wouldn't let this go. Jack pressed some buttons then turned to them both, 'You ready?' They could sense the excitement in his voice as they exchanged looks. He yanked a leaver and The ground shook as the submarine plunged into the water, the dark sea water pouring over the large window at the front, Jack flipped more switches and lights popped on at the front so they could see into the sea, Jack sat down and pulled the wheel moving it forward into the open sea. He typed into the keyboard and let go of the wheel, it was still moving 'automatic drive system, put in co ordinates and it goes' Jack grinned.
