A broken man that what Captain Jack Harkness now was. All that remained of his team now was himself and Gwen Cooper Williams, and she was pregnant. She will be wanting to settle into motherhood not be chasing alien threats round Cardiff so the only thing for Jack to do would be leave and that's what he did.
He travelled to forget. At first Ianto was jus a bit of fun but Jack slowly fell in love with the sexy Welshman. Why did he have to leave him? Just as Jack was beginning to accept that maybe him and Ianto were something he could see lasting. Whenever he closed his eyes he was transported back to that day the day his life ended, the day his love died. He could still feel Ianto's lips on his, their final kiss. A tear fell as Jack remembered how he used to tease Ianto about his lips and how they were always perfectly soft due to his love of lip balm. Especially palmers cocoa butter one which Jack was particularly
fond of as he liked the taste. If jack thought hard enough he could still taste it.
Meanwhile in a small private hospital room not far from Cardiff a man lay in a hospital bed unconscious. The paramedics had brought him in a couple of weeks ago he was found on the roadside naked and covered in dirt and mud. He looked like he had travelled a fair way before collapsing from severe exhaustion. Once in the hospital and cleaned up the man was hooked up to an IV for fluids and has remained unconscious since he was brought in. All signs of brain activity are there its just as though he is in a very deep and long sleep. There is nothing wrong with him so the doctors decided to just let him sleep it off. They had reached out to missing persons agencies but so far have had no replies.
Gwen was bored. Well bored is a bit of an understatement she was absolutely bored out of her mind! She had rearranged all the furniture in her and Rhys' new house, set up the baby nursery and cleaned the house within an inch of its life. So she decided it was time to try and set up a new Torchwood base if only a temporary one. She found a secluded office space for rent and started building it up. Before Ianto's sister had put his flat on the market Gwen had gone round and removed all traces of Torchwood and put it into her new office space. It wasn't as high tech as the Hub but it would do for now. She had the basics up and running. She even set up a small office area for Jack with a small foldaway bed. Gwen settled in front of her computer not really sure what she could do as she was heavily pregnant and was without the rift manipulator. As she was randomly looking through the computer system she came across a few missing persons reports. Curious due to her boredom she began checking through them. One particular one caught her attention it was of a young male found on a roadside who was in some kind of unexplained coma. This seemed to get her attention so she decided to open the attached file which contained various photos. It was hten Gwen go t what could only be described as the biggest shock of her life. The man in the pictures looked just like Ianto but it couldn't be, Ianto was dead she saw his dead body. They hadn't performed an autopsy on him at his sisters request. She went to his funeral along with Rhys. This cant be it must be her hormones playing tricks on her. Picking up her phone she called Andy he could help her by getting her any information they had on this man. She also called Martha she would need a medical opinion on this.
