Chapter 1

Doctor Anders' day was going normally. Well as normally as a day could go when you worked at UNIT and spent all your time dissecting alien corpses. At least this next one wasn't an alien. It was a human Torchwood employee who had died a year ago. Thanks to alien technology the body hadn't decomposed at all but Anders still wondered why they'd waited so long before doing an autopsy. Maybe there was a lot of red tape or something seeing as the man hadn't actually worked for UNIT. She just shrugged. She hadn't worked for UNIT long enough to ask questions and she doubted she ever would. Readying everything, she started her mic and leant over the body to make the first cut when she met with the shock of her life. The dead body she was just about to autopsy gave a jerk and a gasp and then its eyes flew open. She let out a shrill scream and backed away frantically. The man on the table sat up and looked at her before smiling and speaking.

"Hello. Could you possibly tell me where I am?" Anders stood there for a second, just staring, before fainting dead away.


Well that was unexpected, Ianto thought as he stared down at the unconscious girl lying on the floor. It did make things easier in the long run though. He wouldn't have to worry about subduing her as he escaped. He knew that no matter where he was he would have to leave and quickly. Any place would love to poke and prod him to see why he came back from the dead. That thought made him pause. He had hadn't he? Came back from the dead. But how? Well no matter right now. He'd think about that later. Right now he had to get out and go and find Gwen or Jack. The thought of Jack made him pause again. Suddenly he blushed lightly as he remembered his final words to Jack. He couldn't believe he had said that. His only consolation was that he was dying or he never would have admitted such a thing no matter how much it was true. Well not until Jack at least had admitted they were a couple.

Realizing he was getting off track and was just sitting there on the table in the nude, he swung his legs over the side and stood up. Scanning the room quickly, he looked for something to wear. The only clothes he could see that weren't cut or stained were a pair of scrubs. Well they would have to do. As he donned them, he noticed a pair of trainers in the corner that actually looked his size. Moving closer, he picked them up and inspected them. Realizing they would be his only option for footwear, and since he'd rather not go around barefoot, he put them on before looking around once more.

First he had to figure out how long he had been...dead. Now that fact was going to take a while to get his head around. He was dead and then he came back. Like Jack. He frowned thoughtfully as he remembered the words he'd heard in the darkness. Was he like Jack now? He'd have to ask once he saw the immortal. If the man could even tell if Ianto was the same. Well he had to actually find Jack first. He quickly made a mental list in his head of what he had to do. Step one, find out the date. Step two, find out where Jack and/or Gwen is/are currently located. Step three, go to Jack and/or Gwen. Nodding his head at his mental list he glanced around, trying to find something to help him with step one. His eyes fell on a computer. Well that should help immensely with steps one and two. He stepped towards the computer ready to begin his to do list.


The Doctor stepped out of his TARDIS onto the pleasure freighter almost warily. There were not many places he was hesitant of going but pleasure freighters were one of them. These places were a hot bed of drinking, drugs and sex. They were places for all forms of entertainment and were used to have a good time or to forget your troubles. He assumed that the person he was looking for we after the latter. After finding out from the TARDIS where she had gone he knew he had to look for one person. The impossible man who wasn't so impossible any more. Not that he wasn't still rather unique with his curse but now that there were two of them he was no longer wrong, as the Doctor had once called him. Having two made it less wrong, less absurd, less impossible in a way that even the Doctor couldn't fully understand.

The Doctor knew he had to find the not so impossible man because what had happened effected him directly. He had to find him to tell him he was no longer impossible and to tell him who exactly was the reason for it. The Time Lord had been frankly shocked at what the TARDIS had told him. Not so much about her creating another fixed point but because of who that new fixed point was to Jack. He'd never thought Jack would be a one person man but it seemed this young human, a Mr. Ianto Jones, had achieved the impossible and captured the ex Time Agent's heart.

As he debated whether or not Jack really did love Mr. Jones as much as the TARDIS was telling him as he made his way through the ship, looking for that familiar face. The Doctor didn't really believe that the TARDIS could be wrong but Jack feeling such a thing for someone seemed as impossible as the man had once been. Decideing it was best just to take the TARDIS' word for it he returned his thoughts to finding the man he was looking for, fending off offers of drinks, drugs and other pleasures as he went. It didn't take him very long to spot the man he was looking for once he made it to the main area of the freighter. He just had to look for the biggest, loudest group and there in the middle of it all was Jack. Making his way over he stood behind Jack and cleared his throat. When that didn't work he reached out and poked the man.

"Jack. I need to speak with you."


Jack was surprised when he felt someone poke his shoulder as he told one of his regaling tales for the people surrounding him. He'd been on this freighter for a only a few days and he already had a group that was with him at all times. At any other point in his life he would have been over joyed at the situation but currently he just felt depressed. There was only one person he wanted with him right now and that person was gone. Gone forever and now Jack had to live out his long life without that man. Not that he hadn't understood and known that Ianto would leave him eventually he just didn't think it would be so soon and he didn't think it would hurt so much.

The poke on his shoulder was actually a relief. He told his tales to entertain these people but he didn't really enjoy it any more. He welcomed a way to cease his words. Turning around in his seat he stared up in shock at the person behind him. What was the Doctor doing here? Was he looking for Jack? But why? Why would he look for someone who was wrong? Turning his thoughts from those questions he vaguely nodded as he heard the Doctors words. Twisting back around to his group he made some excuses and got up to follow the Time Lord away. Luckily he had only had one drink so far and none of the various narcotics strewn around so he able to follow without swaying or making a fool of himself.

He made sure to follow the Doctor closely as he made his way through the ship. It was rather crowded and Jack didn't want to lose him. Arriving at the TARDIS, the Doctor opened the door and motioned for Jack to proceed him. Stepping inside, a ghost of a smile flitted across his face. He did love this ship and he always would. Stepping up to the console he laid his hand on the surface and said hello to the ship before turning around to look at the Doctor.

"So what did you need to talk about?"
