Like Father, Like Son. This is the sequel to A Beautiful Stranger. This is a small chapter, just to kick off this story but the next one is bigger and explans more. Angelwood.

Introductions.

The new stranger stood there as everyone looked at him strangely, not sure of what to make of him. Jack stood with his mouth wide open, clutching Ianto's hand so tightly, his knuckles turned white. Jack's heart was racing, pounding away in his chest, his mind racing faster than his heart but not understanding anything that was being said.

"I have got the timing right haven't I? Adina, I mean Phoenix has fought the battle with The Devourer hasn't she?" the stranger asked them all, Gwen and Toshiko nodding their heads as the stranger spoke.

"3 weeks ago," Owen simply replies.

"I'm not getting this. Who are you and how did you get here?" Ianto asks the stranger moving around to Jack's side, taking a good look at the young man who was now closing down the Vortex behind him.

"Ok so maybe not the right time but close enough. I see that my arrival hasn't go down as I expected it too, not that I expected welcome banners and balloons but then again," the stranger replies almost talking to himself.

"Let me get this right. Your name is Prince Javain and you are the son of Phoenix and Jack?" Toshiko asks him finally able to engage her mouth.

"I can see that my appearance is giving you quiet a few questions that you require answering so I will do the best but I was wondering if I could trouble someone for a drink first, maybe a cup of Ianto Jones's amazing coffee that I have heard about?" he asks the team.

"I'll get it. What would you like in it?" Gwen asks him all ready to go.

"Two sugars, black please Miss Cooper," he replies and she looks at him strangely but then goes to get him some coffee.

"How can you be Adina's, I mean Phoenix's son? She died 3 weeks ago, I know, I was there," Jack finally asks, his mind free enough to formulate the question before asking it.

"It is complicated. I have proof if you require it," he tells Jack.

Reaching around his neck and taking a necklace off with something hanging on it, he put it in the palm of his hand and using his mind, the necklace levitated in the air and over to Jack who took it. On the necklace was a ring, one that was very familiar to Jack, it should be familiar to him, he bought it and gave if to Phoenix when they were together. It wasn't an engagement ring or anything like that, he had just seen it at an alien flea market and thought that Phoenix would love it. He hadn't seen it since before he let her died and she had lost their son.

"How did you get this? I gave this to Phoenix so long ago?" Jack asks him holding it in the air and Javain takes it back from Jack, levitating it back to him and placing it back around his neck.

"I will answers all questions for you but not right this second as there is a lot to cover and I believe that Gwen is about to arrive with my coffee. Could I possibly sit down? I have been travelling for the past 13 hours and I am a little tired," Javain asks the team but mostly Jack.

"Help yourself," Jack tells him still holding his Webley in one hand and Ianto's hand in the other.

Jack watched every move that Javain made as he walked towards the team, the team splitting like the red sea to allow him past, Owen standing close to Toshiko, not sure of this new man. Javain walked straight to the sofa's and sat down, everyone turning to him and watching him as Gwen walked in with his coffee, taking it to him and he took it. He took a sip of it as everyone watched him.

"That hit the spot. Mum wasn't joking when she said it was good," he smiled and he took another sip of the hot coffee.

Gwen looked at Javain and then at Jack and then back again to Javain comparing them both.

"I can see the resemblance," Gwen offers up to the team, then all looking at Javain and Jack and she was right.

"Don't," Jack almost ordered them and Javain smiled.

"I heard that Captain Harkness," Javain said from nowhere a few seconds later.

"Jack didn't say anything ," Ianto tells him, Javain and Jack looking at each other.

"No, he didn't say anything, he thought it," Javain answers Ianto.

"You can read minds?" Owen asks him.

"Yes. One of the many abilities I got from my mother. She could do it as well though she didn't like to do it, not with human minds but you know that don't you Captain Harkness? You and my mother used to communicate like that in battle," Javain tells him.

"Phoenix and I did communicate like that in battle," Jack tells him looking at him, trying to work him out.

"You don't think that he is your son do you Jack?" Gwen asks him sitting down on another sofa and looking at Jack, the expression on his face gave it away.

"How can he be? We all saw her die. We all watched her die when she killed The Devourer, we were all there. Phoenix died so he can't be my son," Jack almost screams at them all and storms off into the office, slamming the door so hard that the window in it cracked.

"I'll go after him," Ianto tells them and follows Jack into the office, closing the door behind him.

Jack was pacing around his office, his thumb on his bottom lip, deep in thought and then he saw Ianto stood in the office.

"How can he be my son Yan? Yes, he has some of her abilities, the ring a gave her but how could he be my son. Look at him. She only died three weeks ago," Jack almost shouts at Ianto and then realises that Ianto didn't deserve that.

"Sorry Yan. I didn't mean to shout at you. I just can't get my head around this in anyway," Jack tells him and Ianto walks over to Jack and puts his arms around his waist and looks him in the eyes.

"Take a deep breath Jack and calm down. Her death is still rare for you. He clearly believes that he is your son, yours and Phoenix's son. I think that we should listen to him and then if you still don't believe him, we still have that sample of Phoenix's blood Owen collected the day she haemorrhaged," Ianto tells him calmly as he pulled Jack close.

"Will you stay with me? I don't think I can listen to him on my own and I need answers," Jack asks Ianto as he stroked the side of Jack's face.

"Of course I will. Stay here with me and calm down and then I will bring him in here," Ianto tells Jack knowing that Jack would want to talk to him away from everyone else first.

A minute later, Gwen knocked on the door and Ianto answered you and Gwen walked in.

"You know that Javain just heard every word you just shouted Jack, we all did. Toshiko and Owen took him out for some fresh air in the bay," Gwen tells Jack glaring at him.

"Let us know when he comes back in," Ianto tells her and she leaves, Ianto shutting the door behind her.

***********************************

"Mum used to like it here, Earth, Cardiff, the Bay. There is a spot a lot further down that she said she spent a lot of time at. I'd like to go there before I leave here," Javain tells Owen and Toshiko as all three of them lean against the bay defence.

"You know that Jack is going to need a lot of convincing that you are his son," Toshiko tells Javain turning to him.

"I know, I was warned by mum. I'm only here to tell him about what happened to mum and collect her things and then I am leaving," Javain tells them and Owen turns to him.

"So you won't be sticking around them?" Owen asks him surprised.

"Why would I?" Javain replied and then Tosh looks at him.

"Jack is your dad and this is the first time you have met him," Toshiko tells him.

"You heard what he said in his office. Even if he could except that I were his son, I would be a painful memory to have around. No, I am just going to do what I need to do and go," Javain tells them and they all look out over the bay, the sun shining above them, an almost perfect Wednesday morning.
