Chapter 1: Goodbye Tosh & Owen
They watched the video message, the heart-wrenching goodbye from Tosh, she joked that she hope she'd died helping to save the world & not just got hit by a car. Gwen, Ianto & Jack didn't say anything, until the end when Gwen asked,
"What do we do now?"
To which Jack replied, "We carry on."
He wrapped an arm around each of them & pulled them closer as tears silently fell from his eyes, Ianto was the same, only Gwen was the one to show that she cried. She didn't hold it against them, because men from Torchwood didn't let it show that they cried but she knew they were just as upset as her. Both Gwen & Ianto knew Jack would blame himself; he always did when someone close to him died. Owen had already died, Tosh was the only one to speak to him before he did, it's like it was fate, the two people who never admitted what they felt for each other, spending their last moments together. Gwen wanted to go home, the memories of happier times were flooding back & making her cry uncontrollably. She wouldn't ask Jack, she didn't know how to, she thought about how to word it.
Ianto saw her looking puzzled, so he walked over to her, put a kind hand on her shoulder & said gently, "Gwen, go home, talk to Rhys & get some rest."
Gwen looked into Ianto's beautiful blue eyes, gave him a peck on the cheek & whispered in his ear, "Take care of him Ianto, you're the best person for the job. Neither of you should be alone at a time like this." Tears fell from her eyes onto Ianto's cheek as she said this.
Then she said goodbye & left, the huge cog door slowly closing behind her.
