I do not own any of the characters they all belong to the BBC. Apart from Owen Harper (torchwood01 and I have joint custody. Btw that's a joke)

This story is dedicated to my best friend Torchwood01 and I hope you like it!

"I have to tell Rhys, it's not fair on him" Gwen said

"Fine but don't expect him to welcome it with sunshine, rainbows and cute little puppy dogs" Owen said

"I have to tell him...

"Yes to go and tell cosy little Rhys, go on go don't want to keep him waiting"

"Fine I will"

Gwen walked along Cardiff bay thinking about what Owen had just said. He was right Gwen thought but it is not fair on Rhys fine I will tell him.

"It's not fair on Rhys" Gwen said to herself

"What is not fair on me?" Gwen turned around to see Rhys standing behind her.

Owen looked out over the bay. He knew that this was a bad idea. She would only end up hurt and she would hurt Rhys. Thoughts went though Owen's mind what happened if Rhys hurt Gwen. Then he laughed to him self no cosy little baby boy Rhys wouldn't hurt a fly. But would Rhys really hurt Gwen. Owen decided to leave it last thing Gwen would want is Owen snooping around her flat. The sound of Owens phone ringing made him jump. It was Gwen.

"Gwen where are you? Are you ok?"

"Owen listen to me, get out of your flat and go to the hub. It is the only place where he won't find ……"

The line went dead. Owen tried calling Gwen again but the line was dead.

Twenty minutes later there was a knock at the door. What did Gwen say get out of the flat? Owen panicked. He opened the door. Rhys charged in hitting Owen in the face

"You bastard" Rhys spat at Owen.

"Well hello to you to. I'm guessing your Rhys"

Rhys tried to hit Owen again but Owen was ready for it. Owen grabbed hold of Rhys and pushed him up against the wall.

"Do you know why Gwen comes here? No because Gwen's all cosy with you but with me I take her around the bloody world"

Rhys winced at that, he tried to break free but Owens grip was to strong.

"Where is she? What have you done to her?"

"Well you are gonna have to find her, aren't you?"

"I'm not in the mood for your games"

Owen pulled out him gun from his back pocket and pointed it at Rhys head.

"I could kill you right this minute"

"You wouldn't have the guts"

"Want to bet?"

"Gwen is such a tart to come here" Rhys said

Owen punched Rhys in the face so hard that Rhys fell to the floor. He had fainted

"Well that was easy" Owen laughed but he stopped when he saw blood on Rhys hands. He locked Rhys in his bathroom and went out to find Gwen.

Owen went to Gwen's flat first, the lock on the door was broken and the whole place was trashed. A photo of Gwen and Rhys had been smashed and Gwen's phone was lying on the floor. Owen picked up the phone and put it in his pocket. He went over to the kitchen and in the sink was a knife covered in blood. When Owen saw the blood he panicked what had Rhys done to Gwen? He checked the flat for Gwen but there was no sign of her. Then Owen saw the trail of blood leading out the door.

When Owen found Gwen he had to try really hard not to cry. Gwen was tied to a pole in a warehouse down by the docks. Owen couldn't see Gwen breathing he ran up to her.

"No please not now. Come on Gwen its Owen. Gwen!"

Gwen slowly looked up. Owen could see the relief in Gwen's eyes. She tried to speak but she couldn't.

"For once in your life I bet you're pleased to see me Cooper" Owen smirked.

He had to laugh or he would cry, but when he saw Gwen's face he wished he hadn't said that. Owen untied Gwen and carried her out of the warehouse.

"Good thing I'm so strong" Owen said pointing to his muscles.

Gwen tried to laugh but the pain was too much.

"I'm not taking you back to mine because that manic of your boyfriend is there and if he isn't then that's the first place he will look for you. I'm gonna take you to the hub ok?"

Gwen nodded.

It was late and the hub was empty Jack was out with Ianto and they would spend the night and Ianto's place. Tosh was trying one of those speed dating things, in Owen's opinion it was a desperate attempt to get a girlfriend and to forget Mary. Owen was surprised how quickly torchwood had been restored it looked the same.

Owen gently put Gwen down on the metal table in the autopsy room. She winced as Owen put her down; Gwen kept her right arm on Owen's shoulder. Owen shivered last time Gwen did that it was when she got shot; Owen had thought that he had lost Gwen then. Gwen looked at him and she started to move her hand of his shoulder.

"Don't worry its fine, It proves that you need me" Owen smiled

Same old arrogant Owen Gwen thought but she didn't mind Owen had come and saved her. Owen pulled back Gwen's top and saw a stab would in the same place where she had been shot. Her whole side was covered in blood he wiped most of the blood away some of the blood was dry. He looked and the wound. No it can't be Owen thought, Owen froze and fell back and hit his head on the metal bar.

"Shit"

Gwen tried to get up and look but Owen stopped her before she caused herself more pain. This can't happen again, not to Gwen not now. Owen just froze and stared at the shape of the wound. Gwen wondered did Owen swear about hitting his head or about the wound, Gwen hoped it was the first one. She tightened her grip on Owens shoulder. Owen snapped into doctor mode. Owen quickly but carefully cleaned the wound and put an antiseptic strip followed by a dressing, but Owen could still see blood dripping on the floor. He looked on Gwen's other arm and found a huge cut. Owen guessed it was from the glass of the photo. He put some dressing on the cut and put Gwen's arm in a sling. Rhys must have twisted her arm when he tied her to the pole because Gwen's bone had broken in about 3 places.

When Owen had finished cleaning up the wounds he carried Gwen to the sofa. Owen went to his desk he rummaged around and found his phone. Then he went to Gwen's desk to get her Bluetooth headset. He put it on Gwen's ear.

"I'm gonna go to my place quickly to get you some clean clothes and to sort out Rhys, Any requests?"

Gwen smiled "Put a weevil in his bathroom" Gwen had struggled to say that and it was painful but she wanted Owen to know that she and Rhys were over without making it too obvious. Gwen hoped Owen got the message

Owen tried to smile but he couldn't knowing what Rhys had done to Gwen.

"Will do"

Gwen smiled at Owen and then Owen got what she was trying to say. Owen walked up to Gwen and whispered something in her ear then he left heading for his flat.

Owen walked into his flat somewhat relived, he didn't know why. It was probably because what he had just said to Gwen.

"Owen, Are you there?"

"Yeah" said Owen walking into the bedroom "but Rhys isn't"

"What?"

Owen went into the bathroom looked in the mirror checking he has still had the look. He laughed to himself and knocked over some of Gwen's makeup.

"Owen are you ok?"

"Yeah I just knocked over some of your makeup" said Owen picking them up. If Owen was stupid like Tosh he would get up look in the mirror and jump seeing Rhys in the reflection but because Owen isn't stupid he knew that Rhys was there. Owen got up and turned around pointing his gun at Rhys face.

"You're just a little boy hiding behind a gun" Rhys said. Owen got a little annoyed at this.

"Poor Gwen"

"Why, because she has to look at you?" Rhys said

"I said poor Gwen, because she has to have you on top of her. She must get crushed!"

Rhys had enough and he tried to hit Owen but Owen ducked and Rhys hit the mirror it shattered into millions of tiny pieces.

Gwen froze. She had heard Owen's gun go of.

"Owen?" "Owen, are you ok?"

No answer. Gwen wanted to go to Owen's flat and kick the hell out of Rhys but she couldn't move the pain was too much. It didn't hurt to talk anymore because Owen had given her a pain killer but it was starting to wear of. Gwen kept on talking into the Bluetooth headset hoping Owen would reply but there was still no answer. Could Rhys really shot Owen? Gwen thought. Rhys could he had enough anger and he hates Owen. I can't lose Owen not after what he said to me I can't. Gwen didn't know what to do. Jack would know what to do. Gwen found Jack's name on the torchwood phone. Jack answered sounding a little puffed out.

"Hello?" Jack said

"Hi jack, its Gwen"

"What are you doing calling at 1 o'clock?"

Gwen explained the whole thing from her being stabbed to Owen's gun going of.

"Have you heard from Owen since?"

"No" Gwen replied

"Well I can't come right now" Jack said. Gwen could hear Ianto calling him back to bed.

"Ok" Gwen couldn't help laughing "go enjoy yourself" Gwen hung up. From all the excitement from the phone call she didn't realise that the gates were opening. Gwen saw the gun come thought the gates first then Rhys. Gwen ran up to the gates. She was scared that Rhys had hurt Owen.

"Owen?"

"Yeah, what?" Owen was struggling to carry Rhys.

Gwen was so relived to hear his voice.

"You're alive!" Gwen ran up to Owen and kissed him.

"Wow I should go and beat up Rhys more often. Anyway why would you think I was dead?"

"Never mind"

Owen went down to the basement and put Rhys in one of the vaults but Owen made sure that he had a weevil on either side.

Owen walked back up the stairs turning the lights in the basement of. Owen wanted Rhys to wake up in the dark with the sounds of hungry weevils.

Owen walked over to the sofa. He threw some clothes down next to Gwen.

"I got you some clothes"

"Thanks"

Owen's phone rang. It was jack

"Jack, you need to see this"

"What?"

Owen walked up the stairs and into the boardroom so Gwen couldn't hear.

"Suzie's back"

"Ok I will be ten minutes"

Owen hung up.

"Suzie?" Gwen said.

Owen turned around to see Gwen standing at the top of the stairs.

"Suzie Costello?"

Owen nodded. Gwen felt dizzy she fell back into Owens arms.
