'If I said I worked for an organization that dealt with the ever-growing problem of aliens and that I was in love with a one hundred and seventy five year old space captain that cant die you probably... definitely wouldn't believe me. But its true, I swear, some people say the skies the limit but they're wrong, there's so much more other skies, galaxies, civilizations and pretty much whatever else you can think of, anything can happen, and in Torchwood…it usually does.'
Gwen looked up from her diary, the only thing she could trust to keep her secrets,
"I didn't know you kept a diary," Ianto said as he passed her a cup of coffee,
"Neither did I," she smiled, "sorry, that doesn't make sense… I mean I just scribble things down, whatever is going through my head, to remind me of this place incase one day I accidentally get retconned." They both began to laugh but it was cut short by Owen bursting through the doors, he was carrying something under his arm, "Board room, now!" They all followed.
When everyone was seated Owen revealed what he had brought,
"Is that it?" Jack gave him a skeptical look.
"It's a pebble," Tosh said as Gwen began to giggle,
"Owen, I think we all agree you've lost it," Gwen said through the laughter.
"C'mon guys, seriously, look at it," Owen protested as Jack began to walk out of the room. Sure enough he was right, tiny little inscriptions, only just visible. Tosh picked up the small grey object and stared at it, "Lenguin," she said after about five minutes,
"What about penguins?" Owen coughed as he swallowed a mouthful of coffee.
Tosh pulled a face, "I said Lenguin it's a language,"
Owen passed her his 'I feel stupid' look, "well if you're so smart, what does it say?" he crossed his arms,
"Just cos' I know what language it is doesn't mean I can read it,"
Jack looked at the pair and rolled his eyes, "y'know as much as I love to see women argue…we have a job to do," he stood up and rubbed his hands together, "ok, Tosh, find out what those inscriptions mean, Owen, find out what your pebble is and Ianto can I have yet another cup of your wonderful coffee while I start the never ending pile of paper work on my desk."
Gwen waked her hand in the air, "Jack, what about me?"
He walked over to her, placed his hands on her waist and smiled suggestively, "well…"
"Seriously,"
"Sorry," he laughed slightly and kissed her forehead, "can you look at the rift activity to make sure nothing else came through…please?"
They both turned and went their separate ways, Gwen to her desk and Jack to his office, he was, as usual followed by Ianto.
"So how long have you two been a couple?" Ianto asked after he noticed Jack staring at the ceiling,
"What? Oh, um, about six month I think, why, you're not jealous are you?"
Ianto blushed slightly, "no," he quickly said, "I mean c'mon, we all know the love of my life is Janet the Weevil."
"Are we even sure that's a girl?"
"Exactly," they both laughed.
"Sorry to interrupt," Tosh poked her head round the door, "but I've worked out what those inscriptions mean, In order to undo the mistakes of today, we must go back to yesterday."
"Ooh," Jack sat up…as a way of saying well-done, "And Owen?" he had appeared while Tosh was talking,
"Right, um, well at the minute I think it re-creates rift activity, like a portal, but you can get back type of thingy." Jack looked impressed as he took the artifact from Tosh
"What about you, Gwen?" he called down the stairs to her,
"Nothing really, if anything came through we would know about it by now."
Gwen looked at him, or more importantly, the look in his eyes, she could see he thought different, but still he smiled and took his coat, "I'm hungry and I really fancy a pizza,"
"I'll get the leaflets then," Ianto said as he turned around
"Ianto, would I get my coat if I planned on staying in for the pizza? C'mon, lets go into town."
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK
