In His Arms

In His Arms

He looked around for her. Where was she? He'd taken care of everyone and now only she and Owen were left. He'd run up into the main part of the Hub looking for her, knowing she'd be there somewhere. But where?

"Toshiko" he called out. When he saw the trail of blood on the stairs he felt his heart stop. There was no way that could be hers. But who else's could it have been? Seeing her head and the position she was sitting in he called out, "Gwen, I need help down here"

He heard her hurried footsteps and knew John and Ianto would follow her. But he ignored it all and ran down towards her before gathering her in his arms. She had a wound in her stomach that looked like she'd been shot by a gun.

Gwen arrived with Ianto and John. She fell next to Tosh. Ianto looked at the wall and said something about the station and Owen. Jack stopped. Owen… He looked down at Tosh. She was saying something about re- routing the meltdown but the last part made him stop.

"I couldn't save him"

He stopped again. Looking up at Gwen he could see the shock in her eyes. Then she went back to injecting Tosh. He looked back at Tosh too and saw that she was looking at him. He tried to tell her that it was all going to be alright but he knew it wasn't.

She loved Owen and she couldn't save him. And they were all probably going to lose her too. There was no way he could make things right even if he tried.

She continued to look at him. Gwen tried talking to her but she didn't look away. She just continued staring into his eyes. He looked into her tear filled eyes and saw the pain, hurt and grief she was feeling. The same emotions he was going through at that moment as well.

And then without nay words, she smiled. And in that moment he knew he was going to lose her. And that later on she would be another frozen body in one of the lockers in the mortuary. But she wouldn't be just another body. She'd be a body who has taken a part of Captain Jack Harkness's heart with her.

He'd lost so many and he was going to lose her too. Along with Owen. First time with her and second with Owen. But even with those thoughts in his head, he smiled. Because he knew that a smile was worth a thousand words. And she knew that too. And smiling at each other, they knew that everything was going to be alright. Because they knew.

And with that he watched as slowly the light left her eyes.

He felt Ianto crying behind him and Gwen on his other side sobbing her eyes out. John wouldn't know how to act as he didn't know the two Torchwood members as well as they did. He pulled Tosh tighter into him and knew that she was gone.

She had died speaking to Owen first and then looking into his eyes as she lay in his arms.

Just the way she should have and the way she wanted.

A/N: I had told my self that I would completely ignore Exit Wounds and never look its way again. But the Jack/Tosh and Owen/Tosh shipper in me couldn't resist. I must say that it took me longer than it should have as I either had to stop myself making them both miraculously come back or had to stop myself from crying uncontrollably.

The first one was hard but the second was even harder. So I achieved the first one but not second. Anyways, tell me not only your views on this fic but also Exit Wounds as I'd love to share my grief with the other people who I know feel the same.

Thank You
