Chapter Three

"Lisa was beautiful, so very beautiful. We met when we worked together in London. I never thought she would give me a second look." Ianto smiled at the memory.

"But she did." Angel whispered.

"Yes and we fell in love we were going to spend the rest of our lives together." The happiness in Ianto's face vanished, replaced by anguish.

"Ianto?" Angel asked not really wanting to know the answer and wishing he hadn't asked the question. He had truly thought that it would have been an easy one.

"Do you remember the battle with Daleks and Cybermen?"

Angel looked a little confused. "What?"

"The ghosts?" Ianto explained.

"I remember."

"Lisa and I were at Canary Wharf where the big battle happened, they took her. Tried to…." Ianto choked back the words.

"Oh Ianto." Angel reached out and touched his hand. "I'm so sorry."

"I found Lisa, half-converted and I took her." Ianto's eyes filled with tears.

Angel frowned not sure where the young man was going with this. "You took her, where?"

"I had to save her. For that I needed to find somewhere advanced enough that I would be able to do something."

"So you found somewhere then?" Angel's curiosity was getting the better of him suddenly he realised what it was like for Cordy when he told her one of his stories.

"I knew where to go and who to talk to. Cardiff and one Captain Jack Harkness." Ianto sighed.

"Ok I'm confused." Angel admitted.

"I worked for Torchwood, they protected Earth from aliens and any technology they found was theirs. The Cybermen was all Torchwood One's fault."

"So Cardiff was?"

"Torchwood Three. I stalked Jack until he hired me." Ianto smiled at the memory of him standing there every morning with coffee.

"He hired you because you stalked him?" Angel shook his head in disbelief.

"No he hired me because he thought I looked good in a suit and he wanted to get me out of it." Ianto laughed.

"Wait a minute, that's sexual harassment."

"No, not really there was an attraction between us and I was using him. Jack is a sexual harassment suit waiting to happen. He can't help it. It's the way he's non-stop flirt."

"So he didn't do anything?" Angel asked hoping that he wouldn't have to find this man and hurt him.

"Jack just flirted. I betrayed them all, nearly got them all killed. Lisa murdered people and escaped. They shot her."

Angel's hand tightened on Ianto's squeezing it. "Is that why you look so sad? Do you still miss her?" The vampire watched Ianto closely and saw his reaction. "There's more to the story isn't there?"

"They forgave me Tosh and I became best friends. Jack and I we…." Ianto stuttered a little.

"You?" Angel repeated knowing where this was going but had to hear the other man explain things so he would be able to tell if it was forced and if so no one would keep Jack Harkness safe.

"At first it was just sex, a release. He was the first guy I was ever attracted to; he's the only guy that I have ever been attracted to." Ianto amended. "I made the mistake of falling for him. I had thought I lost him." Ianto couldn't bring himself to tell Angel about Jack's immortality. "When I saw him Jack pulled me into his arms and kissed me in front of the rest of the team and I believed that it was something more."

"But it wasn't?" Angel wanted to know.

"He left again. I couldn't stay there so I left and here I am."

"Which I am eternally grateful for. You know we couldn't do without you now?" Angel teased.

"So that is enough about me. "What about you and Cordy?"

"There isn't a me and Cordy." Angel looked down embarrassed.

"No but there should be." Ianto laughed.

XXXXX

Gwen and Jack stood in front of the Hyperion Hotel.

"So this is where Ianto works." Jack mumbled.

"Jack he could be happy here and may not want to come back with us." She reached over and touched his arm.

Jack moved forward not even listening to what she had said.

"Ianto's mine." He muttered to himself.
