Hello everyone

I'm still writing my Lotr fanfic but I recently started to watch Doctor Who and then I started to watch Torchwood. It is awesome. I love Ianto and Jack together. Anyway I just found out that Yan' is going to die soon. How can they kill Ianto? He was the main reason I started to watch TW... I'm one or two ep's away from seeing him die... I don't want to continue watching, 'cause he'll be alive as long as I don't... well that doesn't make sense... Anyway an idea popped into my head and I can't get rid of it, so I have to write it down. And I thought I'm gonna share it with you.

This story will have spoilers 'til the end of series 2... So Owen and Tosh will be dead. I really miss Tosh and I kinda miss Owen, too... and I can't stand Gwen... I don't know why, but I don't like her.

Some of you may have noticed already, but I'm not a native speaker, so I'm sorry for all the mistakes(I'm used to write American English). And because I'm German I'm used to make a lot of ',' so sorry about that. I just can't help it.

Anyway I don't want to keep you waiting any longer, so... I don't own Torchwood [Ianto wouldn't have died if I did] or any characters that you may know. On with the story:

"Jack, there have been several Weevil attacks all over the city." Ianto said, standing in the door to Jack's office.

"How many?" Jack replied, looking up from the paperwork in front of him.

"Four Weevils, maybe five." Ianto said, staring into Jack's blue eyes.

"Get the car ready. Tell Gwen to be ready in five." Giving the command to the Welsh Jack stood up, grabbed his gun and put his coat on. Just as Jack stepped out of his office the rift alert went off. Groaning Jack went over to Tosh's old work station. Checking over the data in front of him he ran a distressed hand through his hair. Jack decided he definitely needed to recruit at least one new member to the team. He didn't want to replace Tosh or Owen, but working with only Gwen and Ianto was definitely too stressful for all of them. Especially on days like this.

"IANTO!" Jack called through the Hub. Hearing Jack calling for his lover, Gwen stood up from behind her desk and walked over to Jack peering over his shoulder. Only moments after Gwen appeared, Ianto joined the two.

"You called for me, Sir?" Ianto asked and looked at the screen in front of him.

"Yes, there has been strong rift activity. Gwen and I will need to go and catch the Weevils. Therefore I need you to check the rift spike out. I don't know what came through the rift, so be careful. The energy signals were similar to those when John came through but we never know what we are dealing with when it comes to the rift. It could be anything." Jack explained, turning to the Welshman. "Gwen, let's go and get the Weevils before they can do more damage."

Gwen nodded and turned to leave for the cars, her hand going to her hip to check she had her gun with her. As soon as she disappeared around the corner Jack took Ianto into his arms for a brief moment.

"Be careful, Yan, I can't lose you, too." Jack whispered into his lover's ears before letting go. The Captain pressed his lips to Ianto's in a brief kiss before turning around and following Gwen out of the Hub.

Ianto stared after the Captain for a few seconds, before turning away and heading to his desk. He picked up his gun, for safety reasons only, programmed the coordinates of the rift spikes into his PDA and headed out of the Hub through the tourist information.


After walking for about 15 minutes Ianto reached the point where the energy signals came from. Old, broken houses lined the street all around him. None of the houses looked like someone could live in them, yet light was shining out of some windows.

It was only then that Ianto realized it had gotten quite late. The sun was gone and the streetlights were the only source of light. Heavy clouds made it impossible for the moon to shine.

Getting his torch out of his backpack, he flicked it on and shone it into a small alley on his left hand side. Seeing nothing special he moved to the next alley. Finding nothing unusual there, too, he made his way towards the third alley. He shone the light into the alley before turning away to walk towards the next alley, but something caught his interest just when he was about to walk away.

Turning back towards the small alley Ianto made a hesitant step forward. Sure enough a black boot poked out from behind a bin. Seeing the shoe he took another step and then another until he stood in front of the bin. Carefully he lifted it up and placed it behind him.

What he found wasn't what he expected to find. The black boot belonged to a young woman. She wore a white tank top and grey sweatpants. The black military like boots were the only thing that didn't match with the young woman. Without those Ianto could have thought she just came home from a workout.

His eyes travelled to her head. The woman's face was covered with her hair. Even with the light of his torch Ianto couldn't make out what colour it was. Kneeling down next to her he carefully pushed the hair out of her face. Seeing the layer of hair beneath the dirt he realised the hair was blonde, almost golden in colour.

Being able to take a clear look at the face of the stranger, the Welshman realised she was even younger than he guessed at first. His first thought was that the woman was about 27 years old but seeing her face he had to admit he was wrong. She didn't look to be a day older than 20.

"What happened to you?" Ianto whispered, not expecting an answer from the unconscious girl. Making sure she was only unconscious, Ianto pressed his fingers against her neck, finding a steady throb under his fingers. Leaning his ear close to her mouth he heard the gentle breathing, the puff of air tickling his ear.

"Let's get you back to the Hub. I can find out what's wrong with you there. Maybe you'll wake up and can tell me where you came from." Ianto smiled down at the nameless girl and carefully lifted her into his arms and began the trek back to the Hub.

After walking for about ten minutes he felt the girl stir in his arms. He stopped his walk and lowered them both to the ground, using his legs as pillow for the young woman. A few minutes later her eyes blinked open, yet they didn't focus on his face. They were a warm, brown colour.

"Hey, can you hear me?" Ianto asked, bringing his hand towards the woman's cheek, stroking her dirty face gently.

"Where am I?" A soft voice whispered.

"Cardiff. Don't worry. You're safe. My name's Ianto. I'm going to take care of you, okay?"

"Mhm." Came the sleepy reply. Her eyes closing again.

"Don't fall asleep just yet. Can you tell me your name?"

This time Ianto didn't get an answer, the girl was unconscious again. Sighing Ianto picked her up. Ignoring the looks the few people around him shot his way.

It was only a few minutes later that Ianto reached the tourist information. Using the hidden door he made his way into the Hub. Deciding against placing the girl on the autopsy table he made his way to the couch where he used to spend the nights when he wasn't able to go home for a quick nap after working the whole night.

Making sure the woman was settled under a blanket Ianto stood up and went to get a washcloth, cleaning her beautiful face. The water must have woken her up, because when he turned back to her after putting away the washcloth away her brown eyes were focused on him.

"Hello again. I'm Ianto. W-" He started but the young woman interrupted him.

"Where am I?" She attempted to sit up, but Ianto pushed her lightly on the shoulder. She understood it and settled back down.

"You're in Cardiff. This is Torchwood." After hearing Torchwood her eyes flew open before she looked at the ground sadly.

"What's your name?" Ianto asked, looking at her worriedly.

"Rose Tyler."


I hope you enjoyed reading my first chap. I'm not that fast in uploading new chapters, so sorry about that, but reviews will make me write faster. Thank you :*
