Chapter 2
Throwing the file onto Tosh's desk, Jack shouts, "Are you ready Ianto?!", not realising that the young man was standing right behind him.
"Here you go" Ianto helps Jack with his coat, and backpack, "And ready for what, sir?"
"You're coming with me!" He winks.
"Where?" Ianto questions.
"Ever dream of seeing the stars?" Jack replies.
And with that, they run hand in hand out of the hub, and straight into their newest adventure.
The next few minutes for Captain Jack Harkness and Ianto Jones were all a blur, for Jack was blinded by pure excitement, and Ianto by wonder and anxiety.
But not for Martha Jones.
As she looked on the the small screen that the Doctor was staring into, she knew that her adventures with him were no longer going to be just one-on-one, and that she was going to make some new friends.
But the Doctor was not seeing the same thing his companion was while looking at the screen. In fact, he was staring in utter horror as a man who he never thought he was going to see again -the man was just wrong- came closer and closer to him and his precious TARDIS. What had simply been a stop at a gas station for the old timelord was turning into a reunion that the Doctor knew he was not prepared to attend.
"Who are they?" Martha asks.
"I don't know…" the Doctor replies, too slowly for Martha's liking.
"I know you're lying, Doctor." she pauses for a moment, "you're sweating a lot, and I'm pretty sure i just saw your nose grow a tad bit!" she jokes, although the Doctor does not feel it's the time for games, he gives her a smile, resulting in a laugh in response, "So tell me..who are they?"
"Old friends" he replies, adding "well one of them...not quite sure about the other though…" their was a moment of silence as they both stared at the screen in wonder, until the timelord suddenly jumps -realizing that he only has a few seconds until the couple catches up with them- and starts running around the control panels like a madman, slamming buttons and pulling levers. Preparing to go into flight.
"what do you think you're doing?" Martha asks him, unbelieving of what he is attempting to do.
"This isn't supposed to happen. He's a fixed point in time, which means he can not be messed with under any circumstances. Even i can't interfere with that." He sighs, memories of what he was forced to do to Jack flooding back again.
"But Doctor," the medical student counters, "if it is really that important that they are in this time period, can't we just bring them back to right after we got here?"
He stops doing what he's doing, and looks at her as if he had just figured out the answer to the million dollar question.
The Doctor runs to the door.
TWTWTWTW
"Doctor!" the captain shouts at the top of his lungs, squeezing the receptionist's hand, pulling him closer, urging him to run faster. Jack thought that the TARDIS was about to disappear, when the last thing he ever thought he would see happens.
The Doctor opens the squeaky door, and -quite literally- stands there with open arms, ready to greet the newest members to his team. Jack had not been expecting the Timelord to be this happy. But, then again, he had not been expecting a new face either.
Although he was slightly hesitant for a moment due to the fact that he was feeling guilty about leaving Jack at the game station, the Doctor felt his hearts flood with pure joy from finally seeing someone whom he cared about acting alive and well. Besides, if his previous companion were still angry with him, why would he come running back to him? But he still felt guilty having his first thought be at least he can't die, so i won't lose him. Sadness filled his mind, for he knew that he was unable to say the same thing for his friend, who he seemed rather close to.
"Who is this?" The Doctor asks, releasing the captain from their warm embrace, and pointing at the young man awkwardly standing behind Jack.
"This is Ianto Jones!" Jack begins, "He does a little bit of everything back at the Hub...including me." his grin was that of a Cheshire cat.
"Ianto Jones…" the Timelord says slowly, letting each letter roll off his tongue, "Do I know you from somewhere?" The odd feeling in the pit of his stomach was different from the kind that Jack gave him. This one seemed to be like he had maybe read about him somewhere, or possibly met him at some point (Which was not all that unlikely, for it could have possibly been a different face that had met, and hadn't figured out who he was yet.)
"'friad not, sir. " he replies accepting the handshake, although the sweaty/shaky-ness of the young man's hands only frustrates the Doctor as to trying to figure out who he is. But it was clear that, however he knew him, it happened in Ianto Jones' past.
Ianto was more than thankful when he saw a beautiful young woman open the doors to the mysterious blue box, although the fact that she looked exactly like one of his old co-workers made him more uncomfortable than he already was.
"Doctor!" it was clear to him that she was from London. More memories. "What are you doing! it's pouring! Invite them in!" They went in.
They had only closed the TARDIS' doors moments before, when the lights started flickering, and the distinct sound of the engines that Jack had longed to hear again for many years were heard. But there was one problem:
No one was manning the controls.
With a sudden jolt sending the three humans inside flying to the ground (what reminded Ianto of an earthquake) the Doctor dashed over to the control panels, not noticing the doors of his precious TARDIS having been reopened.
He also didn't notice that, outside the open doors, was an immortal Captain Jack Harkness left dangling on the bottom edge of the Doctor's home; holding on for dear life as the TARDIS went flying through the time vortex.
