Annabell lazily made her way through Ianto's hallways, almost bumping into the walls a couple times. She finally reached his bedroom and opened the door. The door squeaked loudly as it swung open. Annabell shushed the door and it squeaked. She then made her way over to Ianto's bed where Ianto lay, one leg hanging off the side of the bed. She smiled weakly, sitting on the bed.
Ianto's head popped up slightly, "Bells?" He questioned. "Wha-" He looked at the alarm clock located behind her. His eyes widened and he shot up. "It's twenty minutes to eight!" He cried, running his hands through his hair. "What happened to my alarm clock?" He stood up, wobbling side to side, catching himself on the wall. "Oh no, I'm late for work. Jack's gonna kill me." He mumbled as he made his way over to his closet. He stopped in front of Annabell and turned to her.
She smiled sheepishly, "I kinda turned your alarm clock off..." She explained. Ianto's mouth fell. "I thought you could use some sleep!" The blonde wined as Ianto scavenged through his closet.
Ianto pulled out a nice dark, navy blue suit and struggled to get it on. He put on a white button-up shirts on first, then the jacket. He grabbed his watch, belt, and pants and started for the door. Pulling up his pants, he made his way to the kitchen where Annabell followed like a lost puppy. "I don't need breakfast," He commented looking at his watch. He put his belt on while walking to his flat front door. He turned to Annabell one last time, "I will deal with you after work. Got it?" She only nodded innocently, watching as her brother hurried out the door.
Once he was gone, she rolled her eyes. "Just trying to help out and what are the thanks I get?" She asked making her way to the kitchen. Her stomach growled loudly and she smiled, placing a hand on her stomach. "I want Earth food... I want pancakes..." She quickly decided, grinning. Running into her brother's bedroom, she grabbed the smallest pair of Ianto's jeans she could find, put them on, and then grabbed one of his button-up shirts. She ruffled her hair, not really caring what it looked like, grabbed her brother's card which he hid poorly, and walked out the flat.
Ianto parked his car and as quickly as he could, he made his way into the tourist office. He ran to the other side of the desk, pressed the button that opened the wall to the cog door. With a sigh, he made his way down the metal hallway, and the cog door opened as he approached it. As he passed the door and made his first step into the hub, three sets of eyes turned to him. Toshiko, Owen, and Gwen all turned to him. Tosh looked worried, Owen looked annoyed, and Gwen looked upset.
"Where are you been, Ianto?" Toshiko shouted running to his side as he walked in further.
"Yeah! And where is the coffee?" Owen hollered not moving from his spot.
"We've been worried! You are never late!" Gwen finished.
The Welshman frowned. "I'm fine." Ianto assured the two. "My alarm clock didn't go off this morning, so I'm running just a bit late-"
"Two hours late isn't a bit late!" Toshiko retorted, smacking him lightly on the arm.
Gwen examined Ianto from head to toe, "You must have hurried fast." She said with a chuckle. "You hair is a mess and your tie is crooked." The Welsh woman commented with a smile.
Ianto rubbed the back of his head, a crooked grin on his face. "I only woke up fifteen minutes ago." He explained.
"Long enough to have made coffee." Owen muttered, crossing his arms. "Yet," He said a little louder, "I see no coffee, tea-boy."
Ianto glared at Owen and the two girls only laughed, patting the archivist on the arm. "He's just coffee-deprived." Gwen said with a laugh. "But, if you wouldn't mind..." She smiled up at the man.
He rolled his eyes. "Yeah. I can get coffee."
"Thank you, sweetheart!" Gwen said kissing his cheek.
"And I'll see if Jack will come out now, since you're here." Toshiko explained heading for the steps. Ianto stopped, turning to her with wide, worried eyes.
"What do you mean, Tosh?" He asked turning back to the girls.
"Oh.." The Japanese girl said softly. "He's been locked up in his office all morning, refusing to come out." She explained. "But I'm sure it was only because you weren't here! So you go get the coffee and I will get Jack." Toshiko assured the archivist. He nodded hesitantly, before heading up to the board meeting room where his coffee machine was.
Toshiko knocked on Jack's door, "Jack? Can you come out now?" She called softly. No reply came. She pulled a face and knocked again. "Jack? Ianto is here. He is making coffee right now." She swore she heard a cry. "Jack?" She asked more worried. She heard what sounded like someone stuttering to stand up. When the door finally opened, she came face to face with Jack...though he didn't seem like the man she had come to know. His eyes were red and puffy as if he'd been crying, and his cheeks were stained with tears proving her hypothesis about him crying.
How could it be that a man who had always looked so tall, proud, and defiant on the battlefield look so...broken.
"Hey, Tosh." He said weakly, forcing one of his famous grins onto his face. Toshiko gave him a worried look, knowing his expression was fake. He frowned when her look turned into a glare, stepped aside, and let the woman inside his office. He shut the door and then turned to Toshiko, leaning his back against the door. She got as far as his desk before turning around.
"What is wrong, Jack?" She asked sincerely. "I thought you were locked in your office because Ianto wasn't here, but this isn't how you would react if you knew or even thought Ianto was missing. You would have tried to make some contact a minute after his usual arrival time. And, you've been crying." He opened his mouth the protest, but she beat him to it. "I can see it all over your face." He shut his mouth quickly. She stepped closer, "You aren't upset about Ianto being late, so then what is it?" Toshiko asked softly.
"If you must known, it has nothing to do about Ianto." He lied through his teeth. Even he didn't believe himself. Toshiko pulled another worried look on her face. Jack's eyes fell to the floor, "It isn't..." Who was he trying to convene; Toshiko...or himself?
"Jack, this isn't like you." Toshiko commented, shaking her head softly. "But, everyone has weaknesses. You can talk to me about it. I am your friend."
Jack looked back up at her, his eyes hardening. "Yeah, but I am also your boss. I'm not supposed to be weak. I'm not supposed to be locking myself up in my office, crying my eyes out over something so... so stupid as this!" He shouted throwing his hands up in the air. He ran his fingers through his hair, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. When he felt somewhat calmer, he opened his eyes to Toshiko.
"You may be my boss, Jack, but you are still human. That means you cry." She said the a soft smile. "That means even you can feel pain." She stepped closer, laying a gentle hand on his shoulder. "You don't have to talk to me about it, but at least come and sort it out - whatever it is."
Jack furrowed his eyebrows together before nodding. He walked around Toshiko to his desk, picked up his jacket which was folded neatly on the back of his chair, put it on, cleared his throat, and looked back at Toshiko. She smiled at the man, hoping he was feeling somewhat better. She really had wished to know what was wrong, but Jack wasn't exactly the easiest man to talk to.
Ianto had already handed out coffee to Gwen and Owen when Jack and Toshiko came down from the office. Ianto looked worried, but smiled when he saw Jack walk down. Both he and Toshiko graciously accepted the coffee from his tray.
No one spoke for a while. They five sat in an awkward silence, all exchanging glances with each other.
Owen was the first to speak, "So, tea-boy," He said turning to Ianto, taking a sip of his drink, "How was your date last night?" He asked with a grin. No one saw Jack freeze up for the smallest half a second. Four sets of eyes turned to Ianto who starred at Owen, eyebrow raised in question.
"My date?" He asked, confused. "What are you-" He cut himself off, remembering leaving last night to meet Annabell. He grinned, waving his hand nonchalantly. "Date? I didn't have a date, Owen." Owen then raised an eyebrow. "I told you all, I was meeting a close friend of mine."
"Yeah, a really close friend." Jack muttered under his breath, into his mug.
Ianto turned to him, "What?" He asked swearing her heard something.
Jack blinked, turning to Ianto, and then faked a grin. "Oh, nothing." He assured to man.
Before Ianto could say anything to Jack, his cell phone went off. He sighed, pulling it out of his pocket - thanking God that he had remember to grab it this morning. He smiled at his team before turning around. "Hello?"
"YAAAAN!" A voice screeched through the phone. Ianto pulled the phone back a couple inches she was that loud. The other four could hear her perfectly; it was a female's voice. Jack couldn't help but harden his eyes. This girl sounded just like the same one from this morning...and she had called him 'Yan'. Ianto didn't allowed anyone to call him by that name. He said someone he had lost once called him by that name, and it brought back too many memories. "OH MY GOSH, YAN! CLOTHES IN THIS TIME ARE SO MUCH CUTER!" The girl shrieked. And yet, she could call him 'Yan' twice?
Ianto rolled his eyes, and with one hand, he rubbed at his temple. "You took my credit card, didn't you?" He could practically see the grin on her face. "Look, I'll deal with you after work, okay?" He got a puny 'okay' in response. He smiled into the phone, "See you at home. Yeah, I love you too." He then wondered about that conversation and how Annabell had gotten in touch with him. Had she bought a new cell phone with his money too?
He turned back to his co-workers, who all starred at him, confused. Before anyone could ask anything, the rift alarm went off.
"What do we got, Tosh?" Jack asked as Toshiko furiously began typing on the keyboard.
"A Weevil sighting. Two of them - maybe three." She responded. "Just a couple miles from here, actually. Close to the city, so you should deal with them as soon as possible so no one gets hurt."
Jack nodded, "Come on then. Tosh, yer on coms. Rest of you, with me." He ordered. Everyone could tell he seemed ticked off or upset at something, but Ianto didn't understand what at. Owen smirked, knowing that the immortal man was obviously upset over this whole Ianto's close friend thing. It was just funny to watch since Ianto didn't have a clue.
Gwen parked the SUV in a park, the location of the Weevil sightings. The four hopped out of the SUV, each with a weapon in hand. The park was quiet with not a lot of people around. This made it easier on them. Hopefully, this also meant that the Weevils would be easier to spot.
"It is too bloody early for this." Owen groaned. Gwen sent him a warning glare.
"Alright, let's split up." Jack announced. "Gwen and I will go this way," He said pointing in one direction. "And Owen and Ianto, you two go the other direction. Call us on the coms if you find one." And before anyone could protest about the weird teams, Jack headed off in his direction. Gwen threw Ianto a concerned look before running off in the direction Jack had.
Ianto blinked, starring where the two had run off. He turned to Owen, "What's wrong with him?" He asked softly.
Owen shrugged, pretending her had no idea. "Better get this over with, though."
Jack and Gwen were walking behind the trees, trying hard not to be spotted. "Are you okay, Jack?" The Welsh woman finally asked after a few minutes of walking and scouting the area. "You've been acting difference since this morning."
"I'm fine, Gwen." He hissed back. "Keep your eyes focused on our mission."
"You ugly, beast! Get back!" The two heard a woman's voice shout from over the hill up ahead. Both glanced at each other before running off in the direction of the girl's voice. Gwen quickly made a call to Owen and Ianto to come this way. When they got over the hill, they found some small, short haired blonde trying to fight a Weevil off with her shopping bags. "I said back, you stupid Weevil!" She cried.
Gwen and Jack both paused for a second; this blonde girl knew what a Weevil was? Jack shook his head, forgetting about it for the time being, and ran off towards to girl. He jumped in front of her, pointing his stun gun at the Weevil. "Stay back. You wouldn't want me to use this, would you?" He asked, grinning at the creature. As the Weevil went to attack, Gwen surprise attacked it from behind, spraying the beast with her Weevil spray. Jack grabbed a black bag from his coat and then threw it over the alien's head. The Weevil laid on the ground, unconscious for the time being.
"You took down that Weevil with just spray?" The blonde asked astonished. "I've never seen that done before!" She said rather impressed. "But, then what to expect of Torchwood, right?" She smirked.
"Who are you?" Jack asked, eying the girl. He voice sounded familiar, but where from? "You don't look like you're part of UNIT, yet you know us and you know what a Weevil is."
"Oh!" She said placing her bags down on the grass. She put her hand out for Jack to shake. He rose an eyebrow. "I am-"
"Annabell?" A new voice spoke. Owen and Ianto were walking down the hill. The blonde - now identified as Annabell - turned to Ianto. She beamed at smile at him, one of great joy, before running over to the Welshman and jumping into his arms.
"YANNY!" She cried out happily, flinging her arms around his neck and tightening her legs around his waist.
Jack winced at the voice; as did everyone the others. He knew where he knew that voice from now.
"Get off, Bells." Ianto cried out in pain. The blonde quickly jumped off and attached herself to Ianto's arm, grinning at the other three. "Jack, Owen, Gwen..." He trailed off. "This is my sister, Annabell Jones."
