"You either go to Torchwood 3 or you forget the past 5 years of your life, your choice Jones." Yvonne Hartman said to Ianto."
"Fine! Send me to Torchwood 3, see if I care." He shouted and stormed out the room. It's not that Ianto liked Torchwood 1 or that he didn't want to leave, anywhere else he wouldn't mind. But it was Cardiff, his old home, he didnt want to go home yet. He just wasn't ready, however he had no choice. There was no way he could forget all that he had seen, he could not live an ordinary, boring life again.

"Captain Jack Harkness speaking… ahh Miss Hartman so good to hear from you again… we don't need a new member… fine but you have to but out of our business if we take him on… Deal, when does he arrive? Can I ask why you're sending him away? He sounds interesting, much better than the last one you sent me. Ok bye." Jack hung up the phone and went to tell the team about the new recruit that would be arriving in tomorrow afternoon.
Tosh and Owen were excited at the idea of a new recruit coming to join them after Jack told them why he had been kicked out of Torchwood 1. No one in Torchwood Cardiff liked Torchwood 1, except Gwen seeing as that was where she started off, but they had to keep up the pretence just in case. Torchwood 1 was very powerful and could take them down quite easily which was what Jack worried about the most but as long as they hid their true feelings they were safe.
All Gwen could think about for the rest of the night was who Torchwood was sending and did she know them or did they know her.

Ianto walked into the tourist information office in his best suit and long black trench coat, he was glad he chose this jacket and not his other one, it was ice cold outside especially at this time in the morning. There was a man, sitting with his feet on the desk, wearing a WW2 army coat.
"You must be the new recruit, Ianto Jones isn't it?" the man said in an American accent.
"Yes, sir." Ianto replied.
"Captain Jack Harkness. Hang your coat on that peg and then follow me to meet the team."
"Yes, sir." As Ianto hung up his coat all Jack could do was stare, his new recruit looked good in a suit. He might like this new recruit from Torchwood London after all. As an old friend of his might say- Eye Candy."
Ianto followed Jack down the secret passage and walked into what Jack called 'the hub'.
"Guys this is Ianto Jones, formally worked for Torchwood London but they couldn't handle him so now he's with us." Owen snorted knowing exactly what Jack meant and Ianto tried and failed to the keep blush and smile off his face. As it turns out Jack did read his file and knew exactly why he was kicked out of London and it seems he told the team as well.
Ianto's first day at Torchwood 3 went off almost perfectly; the team seemed to like him all except Gwen who seemed to go out of her way to avoid him. He knew that Gwen had worked for Torchwood 1 as well but he had never met her as he was in archives while she was field agent so their paths never crossed. He didn't understand why she didn't seem to like him but it didn't really matter to him, the rest of the team like him and that was good enough for him.
At the end of his first day he was invited out for drinks with Tosh and Owen and was happy enough to accept, they headed over to a small bar across from the bay and sat down in a booth. Owen went to get drinks and while he was away Tosh asked him about himself.
"So what is Torchwood London like, I have only ever really head stories about it and Gwen doesn't really like talking about it much?"
"To be honest it was quite boring actually. They have lost of stuff down in the archives but I wasn't really allowed to see most of the stuff."
"So how come you went to work for Torchwood London in the first place? I'm only asking because you have a welsh accent."
"I originally went to London to search for work but I bumped into an old friend and they got me a job working in the archives. I never really thanked them for that." What Ianto didn't tell tosh was that his friend who got him the job died about a month after he started, shot by a terrorist trying to break into the archives to steal some weaponry.
Tosh was just about to ask another question when Jack sat down next to Ianto.
"How come I wasn't invited?" He asked Tosh just as Owen sat down giving Tosh and Ianto their drinks.
"Sorry Jack I must have forgotten." Owen said in a sarcastic voice. Jack pretended to be heart but ended up laughing along with the others.
"How did you feel about your first day at Torchwood 3?" Jack asked Ianto: resisting the urge to lick his lips just at the sight of him.
"Yeah it went well I suppose, it was much more interesting than my first day at Torchwood London. The sent me on a complete tour of the archives with the most boring man I have ever met, I almost fell asleep twice." The others laughed at him and he laughed along, glad that this job would be more 'eventful' than the one he had a Torchwood 1.

An hour and a half later Tosh and Owen said it was time to leave and Ianto couldn't help but agree, he was half drunk and still needed to get home and get something to eat. Tosh and Owen went home in a cab together leaving Jack and Ianto outside the pub just chatting.
"I should probably start walking back, if start now I will have enough time to stop off and get a kebab before the place closes." Ianto said to Jack as he started to head back to his flat.
"Hey Ianto!" Jack shouted. Ianto turned to face him. "I actually really fancy a kebab." He said smiling.
"Well, I suppose it would make sense for you to walk with me then, sir." Ianto said smiling. If he wasn't half drunk he would think that his new boss was flirting with him.
Please comment on whether or not you would like this to continue. I love Ianto and writing about him so please let me know.
