Jumping at the chance to do something Miles followed Ianto down to the vaults.

"So what are we doing?" Miles asked to fill the early silence that was down in the tunnels of Torchwood.

"We need to see if we have an empty fish tank, one of the extra large ones." Ianto carried on walking.

"Right oh." He paused, "sorry fish tanks?"

"yes we have several large tanks on the lower floors they contain several alien species of fish that we've pulled out of the channel and I know a lot came from Torchwood India when Jack shut it down, I'm sure they are from all over but not all of them have been catalogued." Miles continued to follow Ianto through the tunnels till they came to a door. Ianto opened it and it bathed them in an eerie blue light.

"Here we go." Ianto turned on the lights and they sputtered into life. He started to walk along the row one tank was full of all manner of strange fish and creatures the next one along was full of water but nothing appeared to be in it and the next was empty. In front of each was a small control panel when Ianto reached the 3rd he turned it on, typing onto the touch screen monitor. Miles just watched the fish swimming round and round. Ianto tapped his ear.

"Jack it's all set!" Miles saw a hatch at the top of the tank open and Jacks head appear.

"Hello." He smiled his voice oddly muffled by the reverberations within the empty glass tank. His head disappeared and Miles watched as the sphere Jack and Ianto had returned with earlier was thrown through the hatch with was closed and sealed immediately the sphere shattered the gasses releasing and twirling around one another.

They watched carefully as the gases swirled and danced confided with in the glass. Jack and Gwen appeared at Miles and Ianto's sides as the first signs of life started, small plants grew they withered and died right before their eyes creating a layer of soil.

"It's beautiful." Gwen murmured.

"It's life." Jack marvelled. It was succession on an area sped up instead of taking 100 years it was taking 100 minutes, they all stood there and watched amazed, Ianto went and made coffee and bought it back just as the life cycle slowed. The gases were gone and the trees were perfectly still. Jack went and checked the control panel.

"78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.96% argon, 0.04% carbon dioxide its perfectly breathable air in there!" he smiled at Gwen, Ianto and Miles. "It's designed to make a planet inhabitable for humans see you always find ways to survive." He sounded ecstatic.

"There are plants in there I don't recognise." Gwen said looking closer.

"It's from the future, evolution Gwen evolution!" Jack bounded over to the tank looking in. "we will let the computers analyse and breakdown everything in there over night and see if there is anything really useful we could utilise if not we'll destroy it because we can't risk any of this growing out there before its time!" they all left the room walking back up to the main Hub.

"Well I suppose you lot had better get off for the night." Jack said with a tired sigh.

"Yeh see you tomorrow Jack." Gwen said as she headed out.

"See you." Miles went to the lift and was gone in minutes.

"They clearly know when they get to leave now; I swear they were ready for you to say that." Ianto commented as he went over to the sink in the corner to wash up the mugs.

"Yes well we have sort of got into a routine haven't we?"

"I suppose." Ianto said drying the mugs.

"You better get off as well, you've been working extra hard of late and it's not fair on you." Ianto looked at Jack.

"I'll go home if you come with me." He said quietly with small a smile. Jack smiled considering his offer. "Dinner, DVD and bed come on Jack you're not going to get a better offer! Or are you?" Ianto added uncertainly.

"No your right, I'll just grab my coat."

"Good I'm done here." Jack appeared moments later, Ianto turned the lights off and they headed out into the cool evening.

TWTWTW

Jack lay back on the sofa his arms wrapped around Ianto. He hadn't been to Ianto's new flat it was very modern but homely, Ianto shuffled back closer into Jack as they watched the movie. He rested his chin in the V between Ianto's shoulder and neck. Blowing slightly making Iantos short hair move slightly, Ianto shifted his head slightly and Jack did it again stimulating the same reaction when he did it the third time Ianto sat up. Looking at him unimpressed, Jack looked up at his innocently.

"What?" he asked and Ianto rolled his eyes at him.

"I'm going to go to bed Jack, you can stay in the spare room!" he said getting up. Jack looked up at him all sad.

"Ianto please stay and watch the movie I'll behave." He said sitting up and patting the seat next to him, "please Ianto." Ianto sat back down and Jack put his arm around him so Iantos head was on his shoulder. They sat there in silence neither of them really watching the movie. Ianto was the first to shift kissing Jack softly. Jack smiled.

"I thought..." he started to say but Ianto kissed him again.

"You thought wrong." Ianto said simply and Jack chuckled.

"I love it when you change your mind."
