Okay now this is just a drabble set after the cyberwoman ep. there are some spoilers for the series of Torchwood so far and I suppose there are hints of slash in this story. As always nothing belongs to me.
He had managed to resist for weeks, the knowledge that the device was stored just a few floors below his office was very tempting. After the incident with Ianto and the cyber-woman the team had acted slightly differently towards him and Ianto had pulled away altogether. So he had found himself in front of the vault and after a few minutes debate he had opened the container and pressed the buttons.
The room looked no different but then if it was the near future he did not expect it to.
"Gwen, Owen, make sure that if this thing gets through me then it does not get off the base." His own voice shouted as he ran into the room, gun in hand, burn mark on one cheek showed that something was going wrong. His future self had taken up position to one side of the door when someone else came charging in, this person was a stranger, built like a tank and with a huge gun in his hand, obviously alien tech his future self moved and attracted the strangers attention.
Jack felt the pain he would be in as the stranger shot him, some type of energy weapon, getting a shot off of his own as he began to slump to the floor Jack stood there watching himself die. His future self was lying motionless on the floor and the big stranger was looking just as dead when another stranger entered, this one was very young looking in an old fashioned brown suit and messy dark hair, attractive, Jack noted. The anguish and pain that this new stranger felt was excruciating and Jack gasped, the stranger looked round and for a second Jack thought the man could see him before he turned and knelt by his future selves side.
"I just found you again." The man whispered.
The scene vanished and Jack was surprised to find tears on his cheeks, he could not remember the last time he had cried, the pain the stranger was feeling because he thought Jack was dead had hurt Jack. As he put the device away he made a quiet promise that when he found this man he was going to find who he was, and why Jack being dead hurt him so much.
Another bit to go with this is mostly written so watch this space.
