SPOILERS Rated M for Smut/Cannon Homosexual Relationships/Erotic

As if it wasn't bad enough that Ianto had just suffocated in his arms, it felt like eternity for the chemicals in the air to flood into Jack's body and temporarily sedate him as well with his arm draped across his lover's neck.

When Jack awoke again he could still sell the chemicals and the strong scent of plastic from the crimson tarp they'd draped over his body. That's when he heard the howl. That all to familiar whirling noise that he'd grown so use to not hearing. With a shaking hand Jack pulled the red material away from his face and sat up with a wince glancing to his left at the body closest to him with a frown. He couldn't bring himself to even think about what he knew lied beneath.

The captain shifted his weight and lifted his body with a stumble obviously not fully recovered from the poisoning he'd just endured and he really didn't have time or the patience to deal with the miraculous Doctor but...there he stood. A shorter man in a brown suit with messy hair. The last time Jack had seen this man he looked quite different and he had handed over a handsome sailor named Alonzo in a mingling alien bar. Now, in his most grievous, hour this man has the nerve to surface again after all that he'd just been through. After all that the world had just been through. Jack was boiling over. The taller man walked forward feeling his coat sink from his right shoulder as he pressed his chest to the Doctor's chest with an animal-like huff.

"What gives you the right to come NOW? Do you have any idea what has been happening here? Do you have any idea what the world has just been through?" Jack's words chomped out towards the man's mouth and he grasp at the tailored coat the man wore just to emphasize his anger.

"There was nothing anyone could do. The humans had made to big of a mistake." The Doctor was so calm and his hand lifted to Jack's jawline before shifting his weight away from the man's grasp. "I have a proposition for you, Jack."

"A proposition? For what? You ...you look...different." Jack muttered to the man in front of him taking a step back as an attempt not to seem as threatening. There was no use in taking his anger about Ianto out on the Doctor.

"I need for you to come with me." The man leaned against the blue doorway of his newly refurbished Tardis and with his arms folded he smirked.

"Donna? Will she be joining us?" Jack recalled the name rather quickly. He had just seen the doctor not long before this whole children of earth ordeal had transpired after all.

"Not with me...I travel with an Amy now. She's not with me either. She's waiting in the future which I plan to get back to eventually but right now I need for you to come with me. I came here...to make something right. A thank you of sorts." The man gestured only his hand with his words and his tone was very sincere.

"I'm not really in the mood for another sailor, but thanks." Jack scoffed and struggled trying his best not to look over his shoulder.

"No...not of that sort. Jack, just please come inside." The doctor grabbed the captain's sleeve and nearly jerked Jack into the blue box before closing the door behind him. "I know what's out there. I do. You did so much for me recently...I need to do something for you. I normally don't consider things such as this but...well here. When was a time in place when you were Cardiff-based but not with your team?"

Jack couldn't quite figure out what the Doctor was trying to do but he closed his eyes and thought for a while before responding. "There was a time right after the Dalek invasion..."

"Got it." The Doctor nodded once and skipped off to the controls. Before Jack could react, the Tardis started to shift into it's movements and the captain contained his movements grabbing the nearest railing but they didn't take long to stop again and Jack looked over his shoulder to the Doctor with a growl.

"Where did you take me?" Jack hissed his words and stomped to the door jerking it open the second they landed steady only to open that door and step out into Ianto's bedroom. With a lump in his throat the man turned to face the smirking Doctor with his fists balled. "Is this some kind of sick joke?!" And as he spoke he heard the door open to the room and his heart stopped. He looked back at the Doctor once more just to see him lift a finger as if to ask Jack to wait. Because Jack was standing clear of the Tardis he wasn't exactly caught off guard by the box leaving. Just as the Tardis vanished, a figure stepped through the door and Jack fell to his knees when Ianto walked through the door
