You lot are blood thirsty lol. So far Ianto or Tasha laying into Jack is at the top of the list and Clint is also there (no idea where Clint came from lol)

Chapter Eleven

Ianto dropped his hand as soon as they were outside. "What the fuck is wrong with you? Jack this is not about you and your hurt feelings. Get over yourself. This world does not revolve around you. Torchwood maybe there to protect Earth from aliens, what the hell do you think the Avengers are?"

"It is back to your Captain again?"

Ianto sighed. "No Jack it isn't. I have friends here. I help the only way I can. I'm not like you or them, but I do what I am good at. I don't want to hate you. Majority of my memories of you are happy ones, please don't ruin that. Let me be happy. I'm sorry if you aren't, but it was your choice. I had to live with that, and I finally moved on. We need your help. I'm not going to beg you and neither are they. If you don't do, well we have survived before but just remember if we lose and people die because we needed Thor, then that will be your fault. I hope you will be able to live with that for a long time because you have an eternity."

"Ianto, I made a mistake and want you back." Jack said softly.

Ianto shook his head. "Jack, let me get this correct. You want me to leave somewhere I have friends, family and someone I love. You then want me to go back to place where I was no better than a glorified servant half the time. I may do a lot of the same jobs around here, but they treat me differently. I am happy here Jack, and because you have changed your mind, you want me to give that up?"

With that Ianto turned around and headed back into the conference room.

Jack sighed he was so used to getting his own way. Ianto was right; he was the one that ruined what was between them. Now, because he was disappointed he was taking it on everybody, and if he didn't help, he would be taking out on the world.

XXXXX

The door opened and Ianto looked up as Jack walked him and watched as the immortal nod at him.

Nick turned and stared at him. "Well, are we granted your presence on this mission?"

"Yeah I'll do it." Jack sat down quietly as everyone stared at him all apart from two men. These two men just looked at each other. Steve and Ianto.

XXXXX

The operation had been gone over and finally everyone agreed. They made their way out of the conference room. Jack waited for just a moment to see if he could talk to Ianto, but the Welshman walked over to Steve. Jack sighed as he headed out to get ready.

"What did you have to say to Jack? What did you promise him?" Steve said quietly.

Ianto grinned and pulled him into his arms. "Nothing, I told him what a jerk he is being and, if, at any time we need Thor and can't get hold of him, then people die because of that. It would be his fault." Ianto pressed his lips against Steve's. "I know this is difficult for you. The whole relationship thing is new, but just remember I love you and I'm not going anywhere. You'd better get ready. Be safe and come back to me."

"I'll do my best." Steve grabbed Ianto and kissed him passionately before he headed out.

XXXXX

Tosh watched them all leave and wondered if this was what Ianto had use to feel like when they all went out on a mission.

Clint saw her stood there he immediately rushed over, pulled her into his arms and kissed her. He grinned, winked and ran off.

Tosh raised her hand to her lips and smiled.

XXXXX

Ianto headed onto the bridge and waited. Tosh came over and held his hand. He looked over and smiled at her.

"I'm glad you're here Tosh."

"So am I." She smiled.

"So you and Clint?" Ianto laughed.

"Don't, just don't." Tosh blushed and ducked her head, hid a enormous smile.

XXXXX

Steve and Tony waited outside. It didn't have much protection because of what the room did. They never thought that anyone could survive.

"He'll be gone soon." Tony turned to look at Steve. As much as Steve sometimes got on his nerves with being the ultimate boy scout and Tony being the complete opposite end of the scale. They were still a team and had been through a lot. Steve had been through more than most and Ianto made him happy. He deserved it. Not that he would ever tell Captain America. He looked down at the outfit and shook his head. No many men could wear that and not look like a reject from a comic book, but somehow he managed to pull it off. Tony guessed it was the perfect body beneath it.

"Yeah he will be." Steve had no doubt that Ianto loved him. That he would stay here with him, with them. He was just worried about what Jack would do. He had a feeling that it was far from over.

"As much as I hate to admit it. Ianto does love you, beats me why. He is your faithful sidekick." Tony grinned.

Steve turned to look at Tony, managing to keep a straight face. "I thought you were my sidekick."

The door slammed open and Jack walked out with a bleeding nose that was healing up as he stormed past them.

"That crazy bitch." Jack muttered glared at Steve as if it was his entire fault.

"Well, yeah that's true." Tony admitted.

Natasha walked out carrying a box and smiling.

"What happened?" Steve wanted to know.

"Well it was an easy mistake to make." She tried to look at them with an innocent face and failed. The big grin didn't help.

Tony laughed. "So what was the mistake?"

"Well, I was standing guard and I didn't realise who was coming around the corner and I may have hit him, ever so slightly." Natasha stopped and looked at Steve. "He hurt my best friend; he tried to break the two of you up. He is lucky all he got was a love tap. If he does anymore, then he will see what a crazy bitch is." With that she walked away.

"Well, if I were you, I'd be exceptionally nice to Ianto." Tony stopped for a moment. "Do you think our Welsh wizard needs anything, like a Porsche or a house?"

Steve and Tony headed towards the vehicles laughing and sitting there was a smirking Natasha and Clint with a glaring Jack Harkness.

XXXXX

Nick turned to Ianto and the others. "Mission accomplished no casualties on our side." He paused. "No serious casualties, but there has been a dented pride."

Ianto shook his head. "What did Tasha do?" He asked cautiously.

XXXXX

Ianto stood there watching as they arrived. Tasha walked up to him and gave him a hug. "Did you really have to hit him?"

She pulled back and stared into his eyes. "I really, really did."

"Ianto," Jack shouted.

"Jack, I don't want to hear it. You've been causing trouble since you arrived." He felt strong arms around his waist. Turning, he gave Steve a kiss on the lips. "Hey, Fury said we can leave anytime as we aren't going to be any help building that communication device. So let me know when you are ready and we'll head off."

"Will do." Steve kissed him and walked away. Ianto could not move his gaze away from Steve's ass. It looks so good in spandex.

XXXXX

Tosh was standing there with Nick waiting for the device. Ianto walked in followed by Jack.

Jack was trying to talk to Ianto who was utterly ignoring him.

Nick stepped in front of him as Ianto passed by him to go to Tosh.

"I'm heading out with Steve soon. I can stay if you want me to?" Ianto offered. He knew that Steve would understand.

Tosh shook her head. "No, it's ok. I'm going to be busy helping getting the communication device up and running with Mr Stark and Dr Banner of course."

"Ok, Captain Harkness. I believe you can pack your things and leave. Thank you so much for your help, but you are no longer required." Nick said politely holding out his hand.

"I'll stay until Tosh is finished." Jack crossed his arms over his chest.

"Well, uh I was thinking that if I did a good job on this communication device that Director Fury might hire me to work here." Tosh said softly and automatically took a step back as all three men turned to her.
