Ianto was aware that he was lying in one of the cells, but surprisingly, he wasn't uncomfortable. There seemed to be a blanket or two under him, and his head was cushioned by a pillow.

"I know you're awake," spoke a voice that Ianto was sure came from the corner. "It's hard not to, your thoughts are getting so strong it sounds as if you're just about screaming."

Ianto sat up slowly, keeping his eyes on Molly who stood in the corner with her arms crossed over her chest. She looked at him wearily, looking as if she could fall asleep on her feet.

"What do you mean? About my thoughts, that is." His eyes darted about the small cell, realizing the door was indeed closed, which also meant that it was locked.

"Well, the human mind is an extremely wonderful, powerful thing. Capable of doing so much. Mine can just... do more, to put it simply." Molly smirked. Ianto's mind raced.

"Like what?"

"Oh, you know, the usual. Telepathy, telekinesis, and some things that I just can't put a name to."

"Well that's... nice... I suppose," Ianto started. Molly nodded her head in agreement. "But, what exactly are we doing in the cells?" She gave a sigh, then puffed out her cheeks in what seemed like a gesture of mild annoyance.

"Ah, see, I sort of... decidedtokidnapyouforawhile." She blushed a bit and looked sheepish. He couldn't help but smile a little. Only a little, of course.

"But why? Why me?"

"Because out of them, I knew you'd understand the situation the most. Oh, and the future you told me you would, too." She grinned at that.

"Alright. I'll... I'll try."

Molly hesitated, taking a half step toward him. He moved over on the concrete bench and politely inclined his head to the now empty seat. She flashed him a smile and sat next to him, pulling her knees up and curling her arms around her legs. She was silent a moment, staring at nothing on the opposite wall.

"So many things will happen if you don't let me - the past me - in." She inhaled deeply, exhaled, trying to break the tension in her shoulders. "And so many wonderful things happen if you do." Another smile (Breathtaking, thought Ianto) graced her lips.

"Owen and Tosh finally start dating, even though it takes them forever," she said, rolling her eyes. He knew how she felt.

"Gwen and Rhys have a baby, a baby," she continued, "and it's so perfect and adorable because she - oh, whoops, can't say too much." She looked regretful, then ridiculously happy.

"And then you... you and Jack get married."

Ianto was... speechless.

As in, speechless, speechless.

As in, the kind of speechless you can only come by during bouts of extreme anger of extreme wonder.

"We... get married?" It felt as if allthe breath had whooshed out of him. He seemed to understand the concept of the world turning upside down now.

"Um... you kind of need to know that it's... slightly more complicated than that." He gave her a disbelieving look, wondering what she could possibly tell him that was more mind-boggling than that last piece of information. From within Jack's great coat, she withdrew what looked to be a photograph. He noticed the coat was so big on her that she had had to roll up the sleeves several times. She handed it to him, then watched him, her chin on her knees.

Ianto immediately took notice that it was a picture of him, Jack, and Molly. Both men stood on either side of her, sharp black tuxedos on with a red rose pinned to their lapels. They grinned widely at the camera, and he also noticed how Molly was holding their hands. And how she was... she was...

in a wedding dress?

Ianto's mouth hung open, though it is quite certain he was not aware of it. Molly pulled out a chain from under her shirt, on which hung a simple silver wedding ring with one large diamond set in the middle and two smaller diamonds on each side; this, she slipped off her neck and handed to him. It was light on his palm, but the meaning it held rested heavy in his hand.

"Look inside," she murmured softly, almost afraid to break the stifling silence they had created. On the inside of the band was engraved Love Forever, Jack+Ianto.


In the boardroom, the screen was still on, the live feed connected again to the cells. Everyone had mercifully fallen asleep waiting for Ianto to wake up.

Except for Jack.

He moved very slowly now, afraid he might fall down from all the information he was trying to process.

Oh... my.
