Jack did the math.
One man, one child to save billions.
It was worth it, wasn't it?
So many children safe in the arms of their families once again. Safe from treacherous government officials who had decided it would be better to give in than to have fought against it.
The twenty-first century was when it all changed.
He'd learnt that in school and again at the time agency.
But he didn't know that he was going to be at the centre of it either.
One man.
Ianto Jones. The man who had hidden a Cyberman in his basement that went on to become something so much more. The stoic young man with his own kind sense of humour that always made him smile no matter what. Loyal Ianto Jones who had followed the man he loved to his death.
One child.
Steven Carter. Oh God. Steven. So young, so very young. He would never know what kind of man he would have been, all Jack had were a few memories from when he had been allowed to see him and his mother. The boy who loved his uncle Jack completely. Trusted him completely. But it would be the trust of his family that led him to his death in the end.
One man.
One child.
For billions.
It was worth it, wasn't it?
So why couldn't his heart accept it?
just something that popped into my head and would go away. x
