Disclaimer: I don't own Torchwood or X-men and if I did Ianto would be alive. Sob. However I do own Gemma. I will look after her.
Author's note: Cberwoman never happened.
"Oh yes! The girls win again!" cheered Gwen hi-fiving Tosh and Gemma.
"Well there's three of you and only two of us!" complained Owen.
"Well you and Jack are boys! You're supposed to be stronger!" Gemma joked.
"Re-match!" yelled Jack over their arguing.
Gemma stepped back and accidentally knocked over some files.
"Oops!" she turned to pick them up, "They are photos."
The others all crowded round her to look at them.
"Who are they?" she asked.
"That's Suzie," said Gwen. Gemma couldn't help but notice the spite in which Gwen said the name, and that was rare for Gwen.
"I take it you didn't like Suzie," she said.
"Not long ago we found a piece of technology called the glove, well, we call it the glove. Suzie used it to bring people back to life. We didn't realise until it was too late but she was slowly going mad. She started killing people just for the chance to use the glove on them. In the end she shot herself," sighed Jack thinking back to his former second in command.
"What a pleasant story," Gemma shivered. Well, she didn't take this job because it was pleasant did she? "What about him?" she said trying to change the subject she pointed at a young man in a suit.
"That's Ianto Jones. He was our archivist-" Jack started.
"And teaboy," interrupted Owen.
"He disappeared not long after Suzie committed suicide. We don't know what happened to him," Jack continued after glaring at Owen.
"He is not in most of these photos. Was he new?" asked Gemma curiously.
"No, it's… well…" Jack seemed to be struggling for words.
"He took the photos," offered Tosh.
"Oh face it you lot, we ignored him," Owen said what the others had not been willing to admit to.
They stared at their feet.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Gemma was feeling increasingly sorry for this boy.
"He wasn't a field agent-" Tosh started but trailed off.
"You wouldn't even notice he was there except when he brought food and coffee…" Gwen said regretfully.
"I never did get that shag..." Jack said to himself.
They all stared at him.
"Sorry, anyway, what about that re-match?" he said trying to lighten up the atmosphere.
We all hurriedly agreed.
This is what happens at Torchwood. You either die, disappear, or go mad.
