Explanations Of Existence.

Owen, Toshiko and Javain walked back into the main hub area after they had spent a little time on the bay, taking in the sun and the fresh sea breeze. As Owen and Toshiko went to their office to continue whatever work they were doing before he arrived, Javain went to Jack's office and knocked on the door and waited for the reply.

"Come in," Jack bellowed from inside the office and Javain took a deep breath in and opened the door, stepping into the office and closing the door behind him.

He turned to see Jack behind his desk and Ianto sat on the edge of the desk on Jack's side. Javain walked to the desk and stood like a soldier, feet apart and hands behind his back. Ianto looked at him and thought that it made his chest and shoulders look more muscular and then Ianto realised what he was thinking and looked at Javain and he was looking at Ianto with a small smile and in that instant, Ianto knew that Javain knew what Ianto had just been thinking and looked away from him.

"I think we need to talk don't you," Jack tells him looking up from the paperwork he was doing, pushing it to one side.

"I think so to," Javain tells him standing there looking at Jack, Ianto glimpsing back at him.

"Will you take a seat," Jack offers him wondering why he was still standing.

"I will stand all the same. Where do you want me to start?" Javain asks him knowing exactly where to start.

"How about how you have worked out that I'm your father?" Jack asks him feeling very uncomfortable with Javain looking down at him.

"Are you sure that you want me to say? Does he know everything?" motioning to Ianto who was still sat on the desk, looking at Javain and then Jack.

"He knows everything," Jack replies, Jack had confessed the time he and Phoenix had slept together and she had wiped it from his memory.

"I was conceived the day you and my mother, Phoenix you knew her as, slept together and she wiped it from your memory. The day you talked about the passing of my brother. She didn't know during her time here that she was pregnant, she didn't know for a while after," Javain tells him still standing in front of Jack, looking down at him.

"She was pregnant when she went against The Devourer?" Jack asked him, thinking that it could of happened again.

"Yes she was, with me. Despite what you saw, mum didn't die, she came close to dying but she survived. While she was fighting The Devourer, her body was burning up. When it came to the end, at the very last minute, mum had an idea and dialled up a Vortex. As she absorbed the last of The Devourer, she edged to the Vortex and then let the energy out, it converting into light and pressure. That's why there was a huge flash of light and the blast. Unfortunately, the force of the blast knocked her into the Vortex and off course," Javain tells Jack being very matter of fact.

Jack took a second to let all this information sink in, it still not making much sense but Jack needed to know the rest.

"Carry but can you please call her Phoenix? All this mum stuff is throwing me and can you please sit down?" Jack asks him starting to really feel uncomfortable.

"As you wish. Would you like me to carry on?" Javain asks Jack finally sitting down, briefly looking at Ianto who was watching him and looking back at Jack.

"Please continue," Jack instructs him not knowing if he actually wanted more information to fill his head with.

"Mum, I mean Phoenix was found and spent several weeks in a hospital to recover. While in hospital, phoenix found out that she was pregnant with me, by the time she found out, she was 30 weeks pregnant and I was due in 3 weeks. I was born 2 weeks later, a bouncy little baby boy and my mother was over the moon. Eventually, Phoenix and I were released from hospital. Mum, I mean Phoenix realised that I was like her early on as by the time I was a year old, I was the size of a 10 year old boy, about to hit puberty," Javain tells Jack and can tell that he is having a hard time understand all this.

"If she recovered, if you are my son like you say you are, why didn't she come back? Why didn't she tell me that I had a son?" Jack asks very confused but angry too and Javain didn't like that.

"A lot happened to my mother Captain Harkness, she was damaged because of that fight with The Devourer, the fight to save you and Earth and she was damaged in more ways than you can imagine. Don't you dare make out that she had a duty to you Captain and that she neglected to fulfil that duty," Javain shouts at Jack, getting up and slamming his hands on the desk, the desk more than trembling under his blazing hands, his eyes now white.

"Calm down. I don't think he meant that. I think that he just doesn't understand may Phoenix didn't tell him in some way," Ianto tells Javain.

Moving off the desk, moving around it to the front and putting his hand on Javain's muscular shoulder, Ianto squeezes it slightly. Jack looks at Ianto and then at Javain, Javain's attention was firmly on Jack.

"Captain Harkness, there are things you don't know though that is obvious. When my mum came out of that Vortex, she was never the same as the Phoenix you knew. If she could of found some way to let you know, she would have but she couldn't," Javain tells him, moving away from Ianto's grip and away from the desk.

"What do you mean she wasn't the same Phoenix that we knew?" Jack asks him getting up from his chair and walking around to where Javain was.

"It's hard, it's hard for me to say. She once showed me the woman she once was," Javain tells Jack, turning away from him so that Jack couldn't see the tears welling up in his eyes.

"What is it? What happened to her?" Jack almost demands to know.

Ianto steps into Jack, putting his arm around his waist, taking Jack's attention away from Javain for and moment. As Jack's gaze joined Ianto's, Ianto shook him head gently in a way that said "Don't push him Jack," and Jack back off a little.

"Mum showed me what she used to be like. Her laughing, smiling, dancing, all the fun she used to be. Then there was the serious side to her. When she fought for those who couldn't fight for themselves. She showed me all that, all that she was, before the battle on Earth with The Devourer. I never knew those sides of my mother growing up. She implanted the memories into my mind when she knew that I was able to handle it, I think I was 4 at the time. I would have killed to here her laugh, see her dancing," Javain tells Jack and it finally clicks.

"What happened to her Javain? Why didn't she laugh or dance?" Ianto asks Javain, holding Jack a little tighter.

"She only ever spoke once after I was born and that was to tell the doctors what I was called. My name was the last thing she ever said. She never uttered a word after that, no matter how hard I tried. She lost all her life too. She never laughed, never danced, never had any fun, her spirit died. She was just a shell. My mum was always my mum but she was never again the woman that left Earth. She was scared, physically and mentally. For the first time in her life, she was scared, a scar that never healed, across her face, down her throat and onto her chest," Javain tells Jack still not looking at him as he sniffed back the inevitable tears.

"Why do you keep talking about Phoenix in the past tense? What has happened?" Jack asks Javain, getting a little pushy.

"Not right now. I need to speak to Dr Harper," Javain tells Jack, wiping his tears away with his sleeve and opening the door.

"What has happened to Phoenix?" Jack barks at him, following him to the door.

Javain raised his hand and put a force field up at the door way of the office, stopping Jack and Ianto from following him until he reached the top of the autopsy room stairs and then he let it down, releasing Ianto and Jack, Jack almost falling on his face but just managing to catch himself before he hit the floor with a little help from Ianto. It was just to give him a little breathing space.

"Dr Harper. Can you run a comparative DNA test on me with samples from Phoenix and Captain Harkness please?" Javain barks, almost making it an order as he descended down the stairs of the autopsy room.

The entire team moved to the top of the stairs as Javain removes his tight fitting, long sleeved top, revealing his bare back to them, doing this so that Owen could take blood from him.

"God he's toned and has muscles to die for," Gwen replies tilting her head, studying him.

"Those tat's are nice, very interesting," Tosh replies, Owen nudging her before heading down the stairs to Javain.

Javain stood there, the muscles in his back toned and taught, a tribal looking tattoo reaching across his shoulders and coming down into a point down his spine, just stopping before his trouser line. Javain then turned around and Gwen was almost drooling on the floor. His arms were toned and muscular but not overly, his pecs were firm, every muscle in his chest was toned and his skin smooth with no blemishes and no scars. The tattoo from his back just curled over the top of his shoulders. He had wash board abs finishing in a six pack most men would be envious of and most women would kill to get close to.

*******************************************

"His tattoo shares some similarities with that of Phoenix's though hers was only a small one at the top of her arm and his stretches over nearly half of his perfectly toned, smooth, muscular back. Stop it Tosh. Your spoken for," Tosh thought to herself as she examined Javain.

********************************************

"Jesus Christ. Look at that body. He's gorgeous. He has the body of a Greek god. You would never tire of licking that body. I wonder what the rest of him his like?" Gwen thinks to herself, unknowingly licking her lips.

**********************************************

"Look at him, yeh, fair enough, he has dark hair, he is tall like me and he is a handsome but how can he be my son? Phoenix would have told me, especially after what happened last time. Why does he keep talking about Phoenix in the past tense? What has happened and why is he here without her?" Jack thinks to himself, his thumb resting on his bottom lip as he watches Javain.

*****************************************

"Look at his arms, so muscular and strong. I wonder what it would be like to be held by him. His hands look strong as well. Wonder what it feels like to have his fingers running through my hair, down my neck and then down my back. I wonder how it would feel to run my fingers down his muscular chest, running across his nipples, kissing them, running my fingers down his abdomen, feeling every muscle on the way down. Oh god. Don't do this to me, please," Ianto thinks as he becomes aroused, feeling his trousers getting that bit tighter, hoping to god that no-one noticed.

*******************************************

"Gwen is almost drooling on the stairs. Toshiko is thinking about him too but I think she is more curious. She's not into big guys. I bet he works out in the gym a lot to look like that," Owen thinks as he takes the blood.

**************************************************

"I don't go to a gym. I just train, you know, weapons training," Javain almost whispers to Owen, Owens eyes widening as he realised that Javain had just heard what he had thought.

Owen takes the blood sample over to the computer as Javain put his top on to the disappointment of most watching him. Once Javain had his top on, he fixes his gaze on Jack and he returns it. They almost stare each other out as Owen compares all three samples and then gets the results.

"I have the results Jack. Javain is yours and Phoenix's son and before you ask, the result is 100 percent accurate. If you want me to do the test again, I will but you will get the same result," Owen tells Jack and the others just look at Jack as Javain crosses the autopsy room floor and climbs the stairs, stopping in front of Jack.

"I told you I was your son. Now Dr Harper has proven that I am your son but you still don't believe it. Pity that there is only one person who you would believe if she told you but she can't tell you," Javain tells Jack storming off towards Jack's office, opening the office door without touching it, his right hand blazing.

He makes his way to the Vault and puts his hand over the coded lock. His hand glows brighter and the lock on the Vault unlocked. Still with his hand on the lock, Javain finds the right boxes and brings them up to the top and removes them. Javain goes through them as Jack and Ianto arrive in the office.

"What are you doing with Phoenix's things?" Jack asks him as he tries to stop Javain but he had erected a force field around himself.

"Mum told me I was to come and get some of her things, things that would be useful to me like her weapons," Javain tells Jack as he removes Phoenix's weapons belt out of the box, laying it on the ground and then loading it up with her weapons.

"Why would Phoenix tell you to come get her things? Why can't she come and get them for herself? Why can't she come here?" Jack asks really pushing Javain.

"Because she can't do much of anything now," Javain replies as he stands up, placing the belt around his waist, adjusting it and then fastening it.

"Why can't she do much of anything now?" Jack bellows at Javain, pushing harder and harder and then Javain snapped.

"Because she is dead Captain. My mother, Adina, Phoenix, whatever you want to call her is dead," Javain snaps at Jack, lowering the force field and pushing past Jack leaving his office.

As he walked past Owens desk, Javain engaged a Vortex, it appearing where it usually did and just as he reaches it, he turns to Jack and Ianto.

"I will be back to get the rest of my dead mothers things later," Javain tells Jack and then slips into the Vortex, shutting it almost immediately behind himself, everyone turning to Jack.

"Phoenix is dead?" Gwen asks Jack very confused.
