Captain Jack Harkness entered the Hub; tension was there between everyone else in the room. You could see by the play full grin on his face, so they knew just what he'd been doing. Not long after Ianto Jones followed. Ianto strolled into the main hub without shoes, an unbuttoned shirt and an unbuttoned waist coat. Jack was wearing a white vest and trousers with his braces hanging down. Owen and Toshiko shared a look before both turning to face Gwen who was shaking her head and gave a loud sigh, at the sight of Jack leaning against the railings and grinning at Ianto, who was quickly trying to button up his shirt with no luck. The Hub atmosphere seemed to relax seeing that Jack was in a good mood. Not long after Jack strolled up to Ianto and removed his waste coat and whispered into his ear loudly, "I proffered you without the shirt!" But before Ianto had time to reply he noticed in the corner of his eye, the rest of the torchwood team roll their eyes and return to work.

Ianto looked up to see Jacks face showing that special smile he saved for Ianto Jones. Before Jack new it, Ianto had leaned in for a passionate kiss at the bottom off the hub under the Torchwood Tower. This wasn't just to tease Jack but to spite the rest of team. However their moment was short lived after the interruption off Gwen snorting then saying loudly "can you not save the lovey-dovey stuff for when we're not here?"
"I think it's cute" Tosh said with a smile

Ianto looked at Jack who was grinning madly at the floor, and said "thank you Tosh, but Gwen we don't complain when you and Reece are having a moment. Do we? Or when Owen and Tosh are, or even Martha and Mickey"

"Yeah but me and Martha and Gwen and Reece don't mess around in the vaults do we?" Mickey said coming up from the back entrance to the hub, from parking the SUV.

"Well sorry but it's kinda difficult to have any privacy when he lives here and at least one off you lot are always here?" Ianto looked slightly embarrassed, knowing what he said.

Jack, having obviously been waiting for a gap to make a comment, looked up and laughed whilst saying to the rest off the team, "you make it sound like you're all anti bondage, and you would be surprised how cosy the vaults are. Anyway who's to say I wasn't just choosing Ianto's best waste coat?" After releasing his grip from Ianto and winking at him, Jack moved forward to the board room signalling to the rest of the team that a meeting was being called.

After the Torchwood team assembled themselves into their usual places, Jack decided to start the meeting without Ianto assuming he was getting coffee. As he stood up at the foot off the desk behind the screen, he alerted the team to their first subject of that mornings meeting.

"As we all know there has been has an increase in Weevil activity lately, due to the Tardis making regular appearances using the rift. Tosh last week when we explained to The Doctor, before his usual rant about his privileges as the last Time Lord, he said you could bond the Tardis matrix into the rift machine to stop the rift activity. Is that still the case?"

"Yes Jack," Tosh wasn't sure how Jack, Ianto, Mickey and Martha would react if she asked the question that the original Torchwood members wanted to know so badly. After a moment's thought she decided not to mention it for the time being, no doubt they would find out eventually. "But are you sure it's The Doctor that's causing the weevils to react like this?"

"Not one hundred percent, but as we know they are time sensitive, and as The Doctor and the Tardis return at different times from different time periods we can only assume it's him that's annoying the weevils."

Mickey and Martha seemed to understand the last phew comments made by Jack. But Gwen, Tosh and Owen still didn't understand how they all seemed to be fine with Jack talking about different time periods, to them it seemed strange how when this tall skinny bloke appeared out of a blue box Ianto, Jack, Mickey and Martha seemed to relax and smile proudly. What was so special about him?

"Martha" Ianto called entering the board room before handing out the coffee's, "Next time The Doctor comes in for a chat or for whatever reason he decides to come, why don't you tell him to give you a call on your phone, so next time so we know when he's coming? If he's still got it?"

"Thanks" Martha said to Ianto for handing her the coffee, "I have but you know what he's like, as if he's gona do that. He'll just say he's too busy or something"

After accepting a few nods from the rest of the team for their coffee and a wink from Jack, Ianto sat down before replying. "I suppose, but me and Tosh could work on a programme so that when the rift spikes from the extra activity from the Tardis show, we can prepare and re-bond the Tardis to make sure she's not disturbing the weevils"

Jack looked genuinely surprised and proud about the ideas Ianto was starting to produce. "Thank you Ianto, good thinking"

"I'm not just a pretty face and a great arse, you should know that." After a surprised and happy smile from Jack to Ianto, Tosh decided to move the conversation on before Jack had a time to answer that.

"Well we can do that now if you like? I've sorted everything else for today. Is that everything or is there something else?"

Jack looked down at his Vortex Manipulator and looked back up to his team. "No. You two do that and then this afternoon I want to talk to you all about something else, but for now the rest off you can go and get us some pizza, I'm starving to death. Literally."

They had all noticed how similar The Doctor and Jack were. But they always assumed they were just friends and that Jack may be immortal but not that much older than the rest of them. They weren't expecting to find out about their bosses life and where he was born. That week would be a tough one but they didn't know they would be learning about a whole new life that week. Never mind how they all seemed to have one day missing from their memories. The days they all died.
