Chapter 1 – Mirror

The hub in Cardiff was reconstructed.

Jack climbed up the stairs and stepped on his office, he put his shirt and suspenders, and looked around the new hub, everyone is silent and quiet, he just heard the bip of the computers and just the light of it lit up the place. He took a look on the screens and didn't noticed nothing strange on the rift controller, he sat down on the chair, and rested his head on the back of it, thinking about some things.

When he woke up with Ianto, he always was ready to say 'Good Morning' to Jack with his lovely smile and a cup of coffe... But since almost a year ago, this situation just go away with Ianto... To a place that Jack will never reach.

The computer started to bip, and Jack pressed one of the buttons on the keyboard, thinking that it would be Gwen who wanted to enter to the hub, but she's not, a young man was standing in the front of the door of the tourist information centre Jack stood up and he walked towards the door.

-"Can I help you?".- Asked Jack after opening the door.

-"Yeah I have a packet for... Jack Harkness...".- Said the postman.

-"Its me...".- Said Jack.- "What is this?".- Asked Jack.

-"I don't know sir, I'm just the postman...".- Said the postman.- "Sign here, please".

Jack signed on the posting sheet, and the postman gave Jack the packet. The packet was... Well not tall as Jack but almost, and the word 'FRAGILE' filled the box, slowly Jack put the packet on the elevator, and placed it on is office, he walked round the box, and finally stayed in front of it not sure about opened it or not.

Finally the captain opened the box, and unwrapped it.

The mirror was made of metal, high and narrow, the details were leaves, was like a climbing plant was around the mirror was beautiful, and had no imperfection, or a scratch, shine, and reflective of the office. Jack watched it closely, there was something in that mirror that made her feel ... Strangely, it was as if he really was not seeing the reflection of his office.

Jack looked up when the system of Torchwood opened the door, he looked trough his office windows and he spotted Gwen and Rhys, leaving the mirror alone he walked down and smiled softly at Gwen and her husband...

-"Morning Jack".- Said Gwen smiling.

-"Morning".- Said Jack.

-"Anything new?".- Asked Gwen while Rhys was leaving some food bags on the sofa.

-"Someone sent me a mirror...".- Explained Jack quickly.

-"Who?".- Asked Gwen.

-"I don't know...".- Jack shrugged.- "Where's baby Edward?".- Asked Jack.

-"With Rhys parents...".- Explained Gwen smiling and taking off her jacket.

Jack nodded and just turned to walked up his office, Gwen followed him, she wanted to see the mirror, maybe is a Martian mirror, or something... Anything could happen in Torchwood.

-"Is beautiful".- Notice Gwen, Jack nodded.

The captain looked at the mirror, and he finally stroked the cold surface of the mirror, watching his reflection, and finally he just sighed and looked up at Gwen and shrugged. He passed walking and walked down, Gwen looked at him, she was worried, because she knew that Jack is not fine... The last incident, the dead of his grandson, the dead of Ianto... All, is punishing him, and she felt really bad, because she can't do nothing to help him.

Another day passed without any action, they things were to calm this days, and Jack don't know if this is good or bad, be all time without nothing to do, makes him think a lot, and this is what he hates, when he more thinks more he feels that his life is a crap.

He turned off the lights of the first floor when Gwen and Rhys left the hub, and he closed the door of his office, he cleaned up a little his desk and finally watched again the mirror, and he noticed something wrong, the computer where turned on, on the mirror, but in his office where turned off.

Frowning he walked towards the mirror, but it don't reflect Jack, because he placed his hand on it but the mirror just showed him the image of the 'fake' office...

-"What the hell?...".-

A shadow passed trough the mirror surface, and the image flickered, someone walked in the office of the mirror, and Jack stepped closer to the mirror to see who was in the other side... His eyes widened, and his mouth opened in surprise, his eyes filled in tears and he shook his head slowly.

-"It can't be...".- he muttered.

A tall guy, with short and black hair, his skin as white like the snow, and Jack knew better than anyone that this skin was soft to the touch, and sweet to taste, and those eyes watching him, brown, calm , precious. Wearing one of his suits, one of his characteristic suits, white shirt, vest, and tie, standing in the middle of the office, looking at Jack intently, he walked slowly toward the mirror, and put his hand on the cold surface, over Jack's hand, but they didn't felt each other warm touch.

-"Ianto...".- He whispered and felt the tears running down his cheeks slowly.

-"I thought you were sleeping...".- Said Ianto with a small smile on his lips.

-"I can't sleep...".- Replied Jack looking at him and moving his fingers on the cold mirror, wanting to feel the warm of Ianto's hands.- "Where are you Ianto?".- Asked Jack.

-"Parallel world...".- Said Ianto.- "This mirror is a window to the parallel world...".- He explained.- "But we can't cross the mirror..."- Ianto look down.

-"Hey...".- Jack whispered.- "Ianto look at me...".- Jack smiled and Ianto looked up at Jack, when Ianto saw Jack's smile, he smiled a little.- "I thought I will never going to see you again...".- Said Jack with a soft tone of voice.

-"Me too...".- Ianto whispered.- "When you left I just...".- Ianto's voice broke and he started to cry, wiping his tears away, Jack's heart sank when he saw Ianto cry, and shook his head slowly.-

-"Don't cry Ianto...".- Whispered Jack.- "Please... Don't cry..."

Jack felt powerless, because he couldn't comfort his lover and that made him feel more sad.

They had to talk of a lot of things, the world of Ianto was different from Jack, in Ianto's world was Jack who left and never came back, and in Jacks world was Ianto who died, but now they are technically together, and... Even trough a mirror... They felt their hearts beat again.
