"Gwen, you have to move now!" Jack shouted from across the road.

"I can reason with it Jack, give me a few minutes!" Gwen shouted back to her boss.

"You'll get yourself killed!" Jack shouted back, the feeling to shoot her rising.

"Jack, I can do it, have a little faith in me!" Gwen screamed this one at Jack.

Jack just ran across the road and banged into her so she fell to the ground and he took her place in the alien's path. He couldn't get away quick enough as the great big blue glob thing they had been trying to contain smashed right into him and sucked him into it, Gwen just stared as it rolled past her, the worst part was, they could all see Jack through it, it was obvious he was dying.

Just then Ianto burst from a house and pointed his gun at the thing, which Gwen realised she had never seen in the armoury, and shot it through what must be it's head as it splattered everywhere. Owen, Toshiko and Gwen were all to stunned at Ianto's arrival that they just stood there watching him run over to Jack's body drenched in the aliens glob. The young Welshman knelt next to the body that was now lying on the pavement, not moving until it suddenly gasped and coughed out a load of alien insides from his lungs.

"I see you brought the gun I told you to bring." Jack said, opening his left eye to look at Ianto.

"Certainly sir, it's a nice gun and it works." Ianto laughed the last bit of his sentence, which made Jack laugh with him. Toshiko thought it was a beautiful sight.

"Right, guys time to get back to the hub," Jack said to the team as Ianto helped him to get up; he turned to Ianto and said. "Can you clean this mess that you made please?" Jack then gave the Welshman a dashing smile.

"Of course sir, who do you take me for, Owen?" Ianto joked, which got his boss laughing even more but had to stop when it obviously hurt him.

When Jack walked over to the remaining team members, he just pushed them all in the direction of the SUV. Jack managed to get them inside the vehicle and looked over his shoulder at Ianto who had started to work his magic on the road.

2 hours later and they were all at the Hub huddled around the boardroom table with a mug of hot coffee in front of them; Gwen continued to stare at Ianto while Owen and Tosh were looking at their mugs of coffee.

"So Gwen, why wouldn't you obey my order?" Jack asked after at least half an hour of silence. Gwen immediately moved her eyes away from the Welshman sitting opposite her and looked at Jack.

"I thought I could reason with it, and I probably could have if you hadn't pushed me aside like a rag doll!" Gwen shouted the anger within her rising.

"If Ianto hadn't have obeyed his orders I wouldn't be here, I'd still be inside a blue alien, and it would probably gone and eaten you lot too. So I'm going to ask a question to all of you. Who agrees with Gwen?" Jack asked the whole table, he looked at Ianto who looked him in the eye and shook his head, giving Jack a small smile in the process which Jack took and gave Ianto a smile back. He then looked at Owen, who looked at Gwen and said.

"Sure, I'm on her side, it could've been interrogated." Jack just glared at Owen and continued moving his head until he was facing Toshiko, he could see she was thinking it over, but her answer startled him. Toshiko had agreed with Gwen and Owen, Jack knew that the alien wouldn't have stayed still long enough to be questioned.

"So, you all do realise that since you are disagreeing with your commander that you are basically throwing yourselves in a really big pit that you won't get out of." Ianto said out of the blue. This comment made him the centre of attention for a few moments.

"Is that why your sticking with your boyfriend over there, you think that if you agree with us you won't be able to get laid unless you meet a really desperate and ugly girl." Owen said to Ianto, each men looking into the others eyes. They both got up at the same time, Ianto striding forwards and punching Owen in the middle of his nose, breaking it instantly.

"At least I'm getting some, when was the last time you had any after Diane?" Ianto hissed at the man rolling on the floor in agony.

"Ianto! Sit down." Jack shouted, and Ianto did as he was told while Gwen and Tosh both got up and helped Owen up off the floor. When they were at the door Owen turned around, looked at Ianto and then turned to look at Jack.

"I hope you have a nice fuck while we're gone!" He growled at them.

"If your going then go!" Jack shouted at him.

It looked like Owen had lost it as he pulled a gun out and pointed it right at Ianto, Jack quickly passed Ianto a gun from under the table, but Tosh and Gwen had then raised their guns. It was now Jack knew something wasn't right, so Jack stood up and motioned for Ianto to do the same.

It turned out Owen and Gwen had their guns on Ianto while Tosh had hers trained on Jack. Owen was just about to pull the trigger on Ianto when Jack shot him in the side, Gwen shot at Ianto, hitting him in the shoulder while he took aim hesitantly at Tosh, but shot her when she shot Jack in the leg, and she fell to the ground in pain with a bullet in her shoulder, Ianto barely held it together as he and Jack both shot Gwen in the chest before she got the chance to shot Ianto in the head, in which she was milliseconds away from doing.

Jack rushed over to Ianto after his Leg had healed and looked at the shoulder that had been hit. Ianto could only look in horror at Owen who was rolling on the floor and losing quite a bit of blood and at Tosh who was just knelt there quietly crying, over Gwen's body whilst holding her shoulder. But the young mans eyes kept drifting to Gwen, the person who had kept the place sane since Suzie died.

Jack quickly cleared the boardroom with Ianto's help while Tosh and Owen were at the hospital. "You really should get that checked out Ianto."

"I will when this is done." Ianto didn't look at Jack; he still couldn't believe what he had done. "Jack? Do you think we did the right thing?"

"No, I don't. But if we didn't kill her then she would have killed you, and I don't want you to die anytime soon." Jack went up to Ianto and pulled the other man into a hug, they soon found themselves on the floor, a crying Welshman in Jacks arms, and a single tear trailing down Jack's cheek.
