Disclaimer - i do not now, nor ever, own Torchwood. If i did, i would not be on here :)
Ok, this is a very short first chapter i know, i will try to get more up soon! This fic is being written in response to a conversation with my mate Jenny when she said " i wonder what it would be like if this happened?" just felt i would write it all down! enjoy!
"Are you sure they were here?" Gwen asked.
"Positive. There were definitely several Weevil signals coming from that warehouse."
Gwen sighed. It wasn't the first time they had been sent out on a wild goose chase for Weevils, but this time they were all there looking, not just her. Toshiko had seemed so certain, about 10 Weevils she'd said.
"Ok, guys!" Jack called, "Lets have another sweep of the whole building, and then we'll call it a day. Maybe Toshiko needs to update her equipment." He winked at Toshiko, who flushed.
"There is nothing wrong with my equipment Jack!"
"Nor mine, thankfully!" he replied with a grin. "Now," his face became more serious. "Ianto, Owen, you go that way. Gwen, you go that way. Tosh, you're with me." Raising their weapons, they all set off on their orders, in search of Weevils that just did not seem to be there.

"Anything?" Jack asked about 15 minutes later.
"Nothing. No sign one Weevil has ever even been in this place, let alone ten of them living here." Came back Owen's voice. "I think this has been a huge waste of time. Thanks Tosh." Toshiko bit her lip, as though she were about to cry.
"It's no-one's fault Owen, maybe they were just passing through or something." Ianto said. Jack smiled. That was Ianto all over, always trying to keep everybody happy, everybody mellow.
"Ok, guys, meet you back at the SUV." Jack switched off his comms, and followed Toshiko back out to the vehicle.
The others were all sat inside by the time they got there, so Jack was forced to be the driver. He grimaced. Great, now he was going to have to be focused enough to listen to Tosh and Owen bicker the whole way back. He would much prefer to let his mind drift…
Ten minutes later, they arrived back at the Hub. Jack frowned as he stepped out of the SUV. The air tasted…funny. Sort of tingly. "Can you guys feel that?" he asked, frowning.
"Feel what, sir?" asked Ianto. Jack gave him a look. He wasn't in the mood for 'sir'.
"The air. It feels…strange."
Ianto shrugged and looked at the rest of the team. They all looked completely baffled. "Jack, everything feels fine." Gwen said. "Are you ok?"
"Guess I'm imagining things." Jack said, uneasily. He didn't feel like he was imagining things. Ianto smiled and clapped his hands together.
"Right! I think what we need is a cup of coffee!"
"Ianto, you are a lifesaver!" Gwen told him. The Welshman set off walking towards the Hub. He hadn't gone ten feet when he stopped, frowning.
"Jack's right, it feels kind of…weird." He said. He looked over at the tower suddenly, as if sensing movement.
"Jack…?" Gwen whispered, pointing. Jack looked up and realised with horror that a light had appeared above Ianto's head. He knew that light well, it haunted his dreams. The rift was opening…
"IANTO, MOVE!" he yelled, leaping forwards. He grabbed hold of the younger man's arm. Then he knew nothing but rushing giddiness, as both men were sucked into oblivion.
