Guess what? I've upped the rating on this story. Why? Because I felt like I cheated you in the last chapter with that unfinished love scene. I decided, why the hell not? I'll put one in this chapter, it'll be a different one though. I think you'd like this chapter anyway, especially since Jack and Ianto are the only ones with dialogue—well, expect for the video at the end, oh get your minds out of the gutter, not that kind of video. The others will be more involved in the next chapter.

Reviews make me happy.


Ianto woke up earlier than usual—he may have overdone it with the caffeine in the java martinis he'd made for him and Jack. Once he'd slept off the alcohol, the caffeine took affect. So when he awoke at 4:30 in the morning he had a blazing headache and his hearts were pounding a mile a minute. Definitely too much caffeine and more coffee wouldn't help just now—damn it. He resigned himself to having a cup of herbal tea. While he waited for the water to boil he figured maybe some work would help but what to work on? There was so much to choose from.

He sat down and turned on his computer, staring at it blankly for a moment or two. He decided to go through the emails for starters, see if anything popped. Archie in Torchwood Two wanted to borrow something even Jack shouldn't be allowed to touch. The request was going to be denied of course…wait a minute. Ah, yes, brilliant! Now that Ianto was a Time Lord again, perhaps he could use his knowledge to find out what happened to Torchwood Four. He was just about to start the preliminary research when the kettle whistled.

After he got his tea, he got to work. He started with the basics, where Torchwood 4 was located and who was working there at the time of the disappearance. Torchwood 4 was an underground base like Torchwood 3 and was supposed to be just outside of Belfast in Northern Ireland. But almost a full decade ago—nine years and eleven months to be precise Torchwood 4 vanished. Seven people vanished with it, including one Winifred Jones who was on loan from Torchwood 3. The personnel files were still on record as the employees were still considered missing. Once they were proven dead, all records—computerised records anyway would be erased. Torchwood 4 had been having severe problems with their communications and everything else electronic. Winifred Jones was an expert and Alex, the commander of TW 3 at the time agreed to send her to help. TW 1 obviously didn't care. TW 4 disappeared with Winifred inside. Members of the remaining TW units, Jack included searched but it was like TW 4 was never there. Curious.

Needing more than just this to go on, Ianto went through the personnel files starting with TW 3 operative Winifred Jones. The accompanying photo showed a thin woman with long brown hair and big brown eyes and an even bigger smile. According to her file she was a genius in almost everything from computers to bioengineering and rocket science. Her nickname was Fred and she was quite young, only in her twenties. She wore a lab coat in her photo and a…wait, that necklace looked familiar. Ianto zoomed in on it. The pendant was a small flat disc, on that was what to any human would be the number eight, etched in gold, the main colours were orange and crimson, Prydonian colours. And in the exact centre was the Gallifreyan version of the letter R. Ianto had given such a medallion to Romana when she graduated the Academy. But it was impossible wasn't it? This couldn't be his sister, could it? Could she have escaped the war as well? It was too much to hope for.

"Ianto" Jack called "it's too early to be awake. Where…?"

Ianto closed the window on the screen and stood "I'm right here. Sorry. I couldn't sleep."

Jack came over to him "That's okay. What were you doing?"

Ianto didn't want to tell Jack about Winifred Jones's necklace just yet and what it could mean but he did say "I was thinking that maybe as a personal project—when I have time of course that I could try and find Torchwood 4. Would that be all right?"

Jack kissed him "By all means, if you think you can find them, have at it. Let me know if you find anything."

"I will."

"Now," Jack indicated Ianto's mug "is that tea you're drinking?"

"Huh? Oh yeah" Ianto picked it up "I needed something to slow my heart rate but I think I'm fine now. Do you want to go back to bed?"

Jack slid a hand down Ianto's arm "Only if you do."

Ianto smiled "why I asked."

Ianto had wanted to search through the storage locker containing Fred's things that night but he got a little distracted. The previous night Jack and Gwen had dealt with an alien and later that morning, Gwen had called in a near panic. They made her un-pregnant easily with the Singularity Scalpel because Ianto had fixed it so well. But then they had to deal with a very angry female nostrovite. After that was taken care of Gwen and Rhys were married and the reception went off without a hitch.

Ianto had realised while he travelled with the Doctor just how much he still loved Jack and wanted to be with him. He was also starting to see that maybe Jack still really loved him too. He fingered the ring in his pocket as he watched Jack dance with Gwen. It was now or never; he walked up to them.

TW…TW…TW…TW…


Before Ianto had opened the watch, Jack loved him but Jack was also in love with Gwen. At least he thought he was. The truth was Jack had never stopped loving Ianto, the Time Lord and while Jack had rented his heart to others in the century and a half since, Ianto always owned the rights to it. In the months since Ianto came back to him Jack had realised that he'd confused his feelings for Gwen for something more than they were. He cared for her, loved her as a friend but nothing more. It was Ianto, only Ianto that he wanted and it would always be only Ianto. But Ianto had been rather reluctant to fully address their relationship the past few months, especially when it came to their marriage. Ianto had been confused though about who he was now and Jack respected that. Ianto may have looked different and was now slightly less adventurous but Jack didn't feel he was that different than he was before. Jack would always love him no matter his incarnation. Jack hoped that Ianto would realise that and talk to him soon because Jack was getting tired of waiting. If Ianto didn't say something soon, Jack would have to take action himself, as soon as he got the courage to bring it up that is. He didn't want to say anything that would push Ianto further away. These were his thoughts as he danced with Gwen that evening. He danced with her because they were friends and he always danced with the bride. He used to crash weddings just to dance with the bride and sometimes the groom, if the groom was into that.

Suddenly Ianto came up to them and cleared his throat. Gwen stepped back, clearly thinking Ianto meant to dance with her but he took hold of Jack instead.

Jack pulled him close and smiled "I was gonna ask you next."

"I grew impatient" he rested his chin on Jack's shoulder. They didn't really move their feet, just swayed to the music. "Does it bother you," Ianto said after awhile "that she didn't choose you?"

Surprised by the question Jack pulled back a little to look into Ianto's eyes "What makes you ask that?"

"I always felt that Ianto Jones was your second choice" he spoke softly and his cheeks were tinged with red.

Jack kissed his forehead "Ianto Jones was never a choice. I didn't choose him, he was given to me. After all that's happened I have to believe it's fate."

Ianto's eyes shone "That's very romantic."

"I know, not usually my style but you're the exception." Jack looked over at Gwen and Rhys briefly and at Tosh and Owen who were dancing closely "Do you remember when we got married?"

"Like it were yesterday. We'd been in the Vegas Galaxies for a week and we were actually only tipsy. We thought we try and climb the Luxor 17."

Jack laughed a little "Didn't work out though, did it?"

"If that pool of pudding hadn't been there I would have had to regenerate. Then you said 'Screw this, let's get married instead'."

"And you asked me if I meant it because you'd fallen in love with me and you didn't want to risk your hearts like that unless I was as committed as you were" Jack put his hands on Ianto's waist.

"Then you kissed me, mouth full of butterscotch pudding and said 'Of course I love you, wouldn't have asked if I didn't'."

"We got cleaned up, got a couple of rings and went to a—was it a Star Trek themed chapel?"

Ianto's cheeks got even redder "Unfortunately. I actually told that to the Doctor and he laughed and laughed some more."

Jack felt his own cheeks burn "One reason why we shouldn't tell him stuff."

Ianto nodded "Yep but on the bright side, he acknowledges our marriage. Says married in the Vegas Galaxies means you're married everywhere."

Jack smiled, did this mean… "He does?"

"He's the elder Time Lord and until further notice he's the Council."

"That's great" Jack kissed him again.

"I have something for you" Ianto suddenly sounded more nervous.

Jack arched an eyebrow "Oh? What?"

"Just a little something I came across in my travels. I uh managed to convince the Doctor to take me back to the Vegas Galaxies about five minutes after you and I left so I could look for this" he pulled something out of his pocket and showed it to Jack. It was a wedding band.

On closer inspection it was the one Ianto had given when they got married but it'd been a little big for him at the time and slipped off at some point "I thought I lost it."

"You did but I found it. Jack, I know now that I still love you and" he slipped the ring onto Jack's finger "I want to be your husband again if you'll still have me."

In response Jack kissed him deeply and said "Of course Ianto, that's what I want. My heart has always and will always belong to you. Do you wanna make it official by present day standards?"

"Well, just as long as it's not in another Star Trek chapel."

…TW…TW…TW…TW…TW…


That night after checking on the Hub Ianto and Jack went back to Ianto's flat. It was quite frankly a touch more comfortable and conducive to love making than the Hub.

"You hungry?" Ianto asked once they were inside.

"I could eat" Jack sat down on the couch "what do you have? I think most of the take away places are closed by now. The ones I like anyway."

"Yeah, let me check the kitchen. Make yourself at home" Ianto went to his kitchen and began to look through the fridge and cupboards. He didn't have much in the way of food as he'd been spending most of his time at the Hub lately. He did have a few things that hadn't expired yet though. The milk was still good, so were the eggs but the cheese was mouldy. Ianto shut the fridge with a sigh and then an idea came to him. He went back to the living room where Jack had his feet propped up on the coffee table.

Ianto sat next to him and glared at his feet. Jack got the message and put his feet on the floor "Sorry. So, what do you have?"

"A better idea" Ianto pulled out his scout knife and took hold of Jack's left wrist "we'll go somewhere that's still open and if it makes you feel better I'll undo it before we run into the Doctor again."

Jack grinned "Know what? I don't care about that anymore."

"Good. Now, where to? It's almost ten here, so how about somewhere in America? It's lunchtime in Hawaii and" Ianto checked the weather on his phone "a beautiful day to walk along the beach."

Jack put his arm around him "Sounds good to me. I've been meaning to try surfing again."

"Remember what happened the last time?"

"That was a misunderstanding and on the Big Island so as long as we avoid that we should be fine."

"Yeah, besides the year was 1989, no one would recognise us anyway. We'll go to Honolulu. Do you have swimming trunks?"

"I have a speedo."

Ianto thought about it and tugged at his collar "As nice as that would be for me, with that cock of yours I don't know if it's very appropriate for a beach that's likely to have children."

Jack laughed "Good point. Torchwood credit card can be used anywhere. We'll buy something when we get there."

"Good and you still have that psychic paper I gave you, yes?"

"Don't go anywhere without it."

"All right let's go. I've been craving Hawaiian coffee."


"Every time Jack, every fucking time!" Ianto shouted as they ran from a gang of male Hawaiians "Haven't you learned to think before you speak?"

"I didn't think Time Lords swore" Jack grabbed his arm and they started zig zagging through tourists.

"My mother was from the outskirts of Wild Endeavour, lower class country people. Swore like sailors. Come on this way!"

"Fight like men Howlies!" shouted one of the Hawaiians.

"I am not a howlie!" Ianto shouted back at them. He and Jack ran off the beach and onto the street. "Jack, that van!" Ianto pointed his scout knife at a red van.

"Are you serious?"

"They out number us Jack, get in the car!" the dove into the van, Ianto on the left and Jack on the right.

"Um, Ianto?"

"Oh crap" Ianto realised that he was on the driver's side. He used his knife to start the engine. Neither one of them spoke till the gang had disappeared from the rear-view mirror. Thank-fully they hadn't followed.

"We actually stole a car" Jack said with disbelief in his voice.

"We've done it before" Ianto glanced at him "You've been letting the Doctor influence you, haven't you?"

"Guilty as charged" then he grinned and laughed "We stole a car!"

"I know!" Ianto laughed too.

"Thrilling" Jack slapped his knee and leaned back "God, I haven't felt this young in years."

"Oh it's great" Ianto agreed "I can be myself around you, Jack."

Jack put a hand on Ianto's thigh "I know the feeling. So, where are we going?"

"I have no idea but I don't want to take this back to the motel. We were arrested last time we stole a car because we stayed near where we parked it."

"I remember; 1930 Chicago, Prohibition and the Great Depression. We were chased by gangsters."

"And why were we chased by gangsters Jack?"

"I made the wrong comment to the wrong person."

"And why was that?"

Jack sighed "I didn't fully understand that the 20th century was very different than the 51st. I know better now."

"Then what just happened?"

"I said 'now' and the last time we were chased by Hawaiians, we'd just left San Francisco and I was frazzled."

"And who's fault was that?" Ianto turned a corner sharply.

Jack suddenly grabbed the wheel and jerked it to the right.

"What the hell?"

"You were drifting onto the wrong side of the road, Ianto. And that turn you made back there, you did illegally."

"Oops" Ianto glanced in the rear-view mirror "that would explain why that cop wants us to pull over." Ianto did so "I really hope this hasn't been reported stolen yet."

…...

Jack took over the driving after they got away from the thankfully female officer. They didn't get a ticket, merely a warning, they'd both had their psychic paper with them and of course the ladies loved those Welsh vowels. Ianto had thickened his accent. Jack's smile helped too—that and they'd both been shirtless.

"We should ditch this car" Jack said "we can teleport back to the motel."

"What I was thinking. Let's make it quick, I want you so much right now," Ianto's voice was thick with lust. Jack pulled over and parked along a sidewalk.

As soon as they appeared in their motel room, they tumbled to the bed in a flurry of kisses. Ianto moved his mouth to Jack's chest and kissed his way along the collarbone. Jack loved it when Ianto was on top, he felt safe, it felt so right.

Ianto began sucking at Jack's left nipple and Jack took the opportunity to work down Ianto's trunks. Ianto kicked them off completely with a shower of sand and then he yanked off Jack's trunks.

"Much more like it" Ianto murmured and moved his mouth to Jack's other nipple.

"Ianto" Jack moaned. He put a hand on Ianto's neck and guided their lips back together so their cocks rubbed against each other. Jack then decided it would be fun to fight for dominance; he hooked a leg around Ianto and flipped him over so that Jack was now on top.

Ianto smiled "Ooh, I like this game." The wrestling went on for a little while longer till they somehow ended up on the floor and Jack relented—he really did want Ianto on top anyway. Ianto gave him a kiss "Pinned ya" he said and then took hold of the mini captain.

Jack moaned in pleasure "Oh yes."

Ianto rubbed and squeezed for a few moments, getting Jack even harder before replacing his hand with his mouth.

Jack put a hand on the back of Ianto's head and thrust his hips upwards. "You better hurry and get inside me. I wanna come with you."

Ianto took his mouth away from Jack's cock and kissed his belly button "As you wish, my love." He licked two of his fingers and then stuck them inside Jack and began massaging him.

Jack threw his head back when Ianto rubbed against his prostate.

Ianto looked at him "I don't think we brought any lubricant."

"Don't care, just fuck me."

Ianto delved into him to the hilt and Jack saw stars as his eyes rolled back into his head "Oh God!"

"You okay?"

"Perfect, keep going!" Jack bucked up his hips as Ianto pumped in and out, slowly at first but working up speed.

They released their juices together and Ianto collapsed on top of Jack and nuzzled his neck. "How do you feel?"

"I think we need to do it without lube more often—that was amazing."

Ianto lifted his head a little and looked around "We've made a mess."

"That's what motel rooms are for."

"I suppose but we should get home soon. We didn't exactly tell anyone where we were going."

"Good point. I had fun though."

"Me too" Ianto kissed him "and I just remembered I might have a box of instant butterscotch pudding somewhere."

…TW…TW…TW…TW…


Nearly a month later…

Ianto had started to walk away but stopped and turned around "Jack?"

"Yeah?" Jack put the flask in the safe and turned to face him.

The experience with the creepy traveling show people had reminded Ianto just how much he missed his family—his Time Lord family, his sister especially. He licked his lips "I need to talk to you."

Jack walked over to him "What's wrong?"

"I miss my sister" Ianto's eyes stung "this case reminded me. That family, the mother and father, brother and sister. My family was like that. Romy was a little older though in comparison."

"Romy?"

"My nickname for her, short for Romanadvoratrelundar. I guess I haven't told you about her before. I'm sorry."

"That's okay, Ianto. I understand. So her name was…what did you say?"

"She travelled with the Doctor when he was in his fourth incarnation, he called her Romana."

"Pretty name."

Ianto took a breath, it was time to tell Jack. "I was looking at the files of those missing with Torchwood 4" he moved to Jack's computer and pulled up the file on Winifred Jones "I think this woman could be Romana."

Jack looked at the picture "That's Fred, she was on loan to 4 when they disappeared. Why do you think she's your sister?"

Ianto zoomed in on her necklace "The necklace, I gave one exactly like that to Romy when she graduated Prydon Academy. Did you ever wonder about it?"

Jack looked more closely at the necklace "No, I don't think I ever really noticed it. She was a sweet girl, genius, it would explain a lot. You think your sister was hiding as a human?"

Ianto shrugged "It's possible. The Doctor didn't go into detail about how they parted ways, all he would tell me was that they disagreed on something." A horrible thought struck Ianto "You never slept with her, right?" he found himself saying.

Jack got the message "No, she wasn't interested and for once I'm glad."

"Good. I'd hate to have to kick you in the balls."

Jack cringed and then put an arm over Ianto's shoulders "Any ideas what happened to them, Torchwood 4?"

"I've got a few theories but first I need to see the locker containing Ms Jones' belongings."

TW…TW…TW…TW…TW…TW…


The next afternoon…

Jack and Ianto stood outside the storage locker simply staring at it for a few moments. It seemed Ianto was a little apprehensive about what he might or might not find inside. They hadn't told the team what they were up to yet, they both agreed they needed proof first. If Fred was a Time Lady or not, they'd still try to find Torchwood 4 but her being a Time Lady would make them try that much faster.

Ianto took a breath "Okay, let's go in" he used his scout knife to unlock the door and he opened it up. They stepped inside shining their torches.

"You okay?" Jack asked seeing that Ianto was immediately fixated on something large covered with a sheet.

"Don't know. Did you move these things in here?"

"Not my job at the time. Nobody trusted me not break stuff."

Ianto sighed "I wish Alex hadn't killed himself. I think I'd like him" he moved over to the object, took several deep breaths and pulled the sheet off revealing a simple looking wooden wardrobe. Ianto sank to his knees with a single sob.

Jack went over to him "Ianto?"

Ianto snuffled "My father's Tardis, I'd know it anywhere. This is the shape he kept it in whenever it was safe at home."

"You don't have a key do you?" Jack asked.

"If I did I'd be inside by now. I never gave you one?"

"No. You wanna try the Doctor's key?"

Ianto shook his head "Pointless, Tardis keyholes are like snowflakes. Each one is unique. Besides this is a Type 80 Tardis, the Doctor has a Type 40—very retro" he shone his torch around at all the boxes "I don't feel like looking for one. I know how to break into Dad's Tardis" he pulled what appeared to be a simple lock pick from his pocket. Within moments he had the door open and he stood up.

Jack stared at him and shook his head "You will always be a punk in butler's clothing won't you?"

Ianto smiled slightly "Anything's possible." He stepped inside the Tardis. It had been dark in there before but as soon as Ianto was inside, the lights came on. Jack followed.

The interior was wood panelled like the last time Jack had seen it. Ianto walked around the console, eyes over bright. He was about to go down a hallway when Jack noticed that the console was flashing "Ianto."

Ianto turned and saw the flashing. It was coming from a video monitor "Okay, it shouldn't be doing that" he pressed a button and the face of who Jack knew to be Winifred Jones appeared on screen.

"Hello" she said "My name is Romanadvoratrelundar and I am the eldest child and only daughter of the Tailor and Lydayadvoratrelundara. Only the Doctor will be able to access the next message." The words began to loop.

"Oh that just figures" Ianto grumbled as he pulled out his mobile "we could use his help anyway. I just hope he's up to it. He might be a bit tired after that Sontaran thing the other day."

"I know I would be" Jack said.


I do hope you liked this chapter. The next one will be up when it's up, you never know with me. Please review and tell me what you think, if you like where I'm going that is. I don't care to know if you don't like it. Anyway, I also hope that sex scene was adequate, it's not exactly my forte but you'll get another one in the next chapter of "Not Unbreakable" as well.

I may have misspelled 'nostrovite' and 'howlies' if so I'll fix it later. I'll look it up maybe this evening or tomorrow morning when I have time. Howlie by the way is Hawaiian for 'white person' and/or 'from the mainland', it's derogatory.

By the way, I love and admire the Hawaiian culture and when I can afford it (whenever that is) I'm going to visit there.

Okay so here's the time line for the "Wild Endeavour" universe, so you know where we are. First of all it's 2008, because that's when the airdate was and I want to stay with that.

Order of events:

Ianto's travels with the Doctor

The events of "Reset"

The events of "Something Borrowed" (which happened in this chapter)

The events of Doctor Who series 4, the Sontaran episodes (which I didn't want to deal with so I mentioned it in passing)

The events of "From Out of the Rain" (which I also just breezed by because I want to get to the fun part—fun for me anyway), while this happened the events of "The Doctor's Daughter" were also taking place.

So when Ianto calls the Doctor, he and Donna will have just dropped Martha off, just so you know.

Any questions, comments, concerns, please let me know.
