AN: Chapter 14, there is smut in this chapter. Anyway, this is a transition chapter between Everything Changes and Day One. I worked really hard to get it ready for today. It will probably be Wednesday before I post the next chapter, which will encompass part if not all of Day One. Let me know what you think. Oh and one more thing, what is the opinion about the Torchwood novels, should I include them or not? Discuss amongst yourselves and I will see you on Wednesday.

Disclaimers: I don't own Torchwood.

Spoilers: Everything Changes, Day One, Cyberwoman.

Warning: m/m sex, curse words, tiny bit Gwen bashing (you have to squint to see it)

The sun was shining over the bay by the time Owen and Tosh staggered out the cog door on their way home. Jack had already left with Gwen, to go retcon her Ianto hoped. That left only Ianto in the hub, well Ianto and Lisa. What Ianto wanted more than anything was to be alone with Jack but ever since Owen and Tosh had come in the team had been busy cleaning up Suzie's mess. Ianto was exhausted, it was almost 7 am on Saturday and the man had been up since 5:30 am on Friday. He had one more thing to do and then he planned on going into the bunker under Jack's office and becoming dead to the world for at least four hours.

Ianto sighed and made the trip down to Lisa's room. This time she thankfully remained asleep while he changed her IV bags. Once he finished he pulled up a chair to sit beside her and gently took her hand. She made no response. He didn't expect her to he had given her a little extra sedative in her IV this time.

"I love you," he said to her even though she couldn't hear him, "I love Jack to though, hell sometimes I even think I love Jason," he gave a little hysterical laugh.

"Anyway, I just wanted to say, I will keep my promise to you. The doctor will be here next month and I am certain he will cure you, and then I will take you away from here no matter who else I may love. We could go to an island in the Caribbean. I know how much you love the beach." he stopped talking and kissed her hand while sobbing quietly.

He arose from the folding chair and made his way back to the main hub. He shut down all the things that needed to be shut down and then made his way to Jack's bunker. Once he got there he removed all his clothing and collapsed into the small bed, not bothering to get under the covers.

TW-TW-TW-TW

Ianto awoke to someone gently rubbing his back, it felt really good. He moaned softly.

"Are you awake," Jack's voice asked.

"Im nuh," Ianto mumbled into the pillow.

Jack chuckled softly, "What?" he asked.

Ianto lifted his head up slightly. "I am now," he said and then dropped his head back onto the pillow.

Jack moved closer to the half-asleep Welshman and wrapped his arm tightly around the man's back. Ianto turned his head to the side so he could see Jack. Jack smiled softly.

"I am sorry I didn't take your warning to heart," Jack whispered.

"S okay, Sir," Ianto mumbled, he was too tired to have this conversation he vaguely wondered what time it was. He shifted down a bit so he could rest his forehead on Jack's shoulder. Jack bent down and kissed the side of the younger man's head.

"No it's not, if I hadn't been so stubborn and had just listened to you. God, I could have prevented the deaths of the last two victims and Suzie," Jack said as he softly played with Ianto's hair.

The older man sighed and let his hand fall back down to Ianto's middle back. "You should hate me, yet I come home to find you naked in my bed, like it was Christmas or something," Jack said as he moved his hand down and gently rubbed Ianto arse. Ianto moaned and pushed back into Jack's hand. Jack chuckled and moved his hand back to Ianto's middle back.

"Stop it I am trying to have a serious conversation here," Jack teased.
"You started it, sir," Ianto mumbled.

"Anyway," Jack said, gently slapping Ianto arse, "do you have any questions about the whole, 'I can't die,' thing?"

"No, Sir," Ianto lied.

Jack shifted Ianto so that he was on his back then straddled him.

"Sir, I'm tired," Ianto moaned.

Jack looked down at him and raised an eyebrow, "You are handling this a lot better than most," Jack mused.

"That's what Torchwood does to a person sir, we believe the impossible." Ianto said with a yawn.

Jack narrowed his eyes, "I think you call me sir more when we are in bed than at any other time. One would think it would be the other way around," Jack said as he bent down so his face was only an inch away from Ianto's, "Why?" he questioned.

Ianto shrugged. Ianto knew why of course, it was out of habit. Anytime he had been in bed with Jason calling the other man sir had been a requirement. It was really hard to break three years of training.

"Well cut it out," Jack teased.

"I will try my best, Jack," Ianto said.

Jack captured Ianto's lips with his own and gently forced them open so he could immediately deepen the kiss. Ianto leaned his head up into it and moaned slightly. Far too soon for Ianto's liking Jack pulled away causing the young man to whimper.

"I promise to trust your instincts from now on," Jack said softly running his thumb along Ianto's bottom lip.

Ianto reached up and grabbed Jack's hand to prevent the man from pulling it away. He gently took Jack's thumb into his mouth and sucked on it seductively. He smiled slightly when the man moaned above him and moaned himself when Jack began to gently grind against him.

Jack chuckled as he gently took his hand back, while continuing to move against Ianto. "What happened to the Welshman that was moaning about being tired just moments ago," he teased.

"He is still tired, so you should probably do all the work," Ianto retorted.

"Mmm is that right, would that give me complete control then?" Jack asked.

"To an extent," Ianto answered.

Jack got off the bed and stood beside it. Ianto looked over at him. He was only wearing his trousers. Ianto was actually surprised he even had that on.

"Roll over onto your stomach and pretend you're asleep," Jack said.

Ianto raised his eyebrows. "You are an odd duck Jack, do you know that," he said.

Jack smiled, "Fine you don't have to pretend to be asleep," he huffed.

Ianto turned onto his stomach and waited. He heard Jack rifling through a drawer in his dresser. Ianto inwardly groaned Jack kept his secret stash of alien sex toys in that dresser.

"Jack, if you don't hurry up I am going to actually fall asleep," Ianto moaned.

"Good," Jack teased, "less Welsh moaning that way."

"Thought you liked the way I moaned," Ianto pouted.

"Mmm dirty talk, I think I have corrupted you," Jack said.

Ianto heard the drawer close and began to feel a bit nervous.

"What do you have?" Ianto questioned. Ianto had a strict 'no alien devices near me while I am without clothing' rule.

"Do we have trust issues?" Jack teased.

"Yep," Ianto answered.

"It's not alien," Jack said with an obvious sigh.

"Okay," Ianto conceded.

Ianto felt Jack's weight straddle his back. No more trousers, Ianto thought. He then gasped when he felt hot liquid fall on to his back.

"Warn a guy next time, Jack" Ianto said.

"But then I wouldn't get to hear that beautiful sound you just made," Jack pouted as he began to massage Ianto's upper back with what Ianto realized was heated oil.

"That's going to ruin your sheets," Ianto said trying to suppress a moan as Jack worked on a particularly tense spot.

"Hush it," Jack said as he moved to Ianto's lower back, "You feel so tense, you need this."

"I am probably tense because my boss is a total dick," Ianto said his voice shallow but teasing.

"Mmm, bet he wants to ride you all the time," Jack said as he moved off Ianto and started to prepare him using the oil still on his hands.

Ianto couldn't think of a response nor could he hold in his moans any longer. Jack turned him on to his side and bent his legs in a way Ianto didn't know he could bend then he slowly entered him. Ianto felt his breathing increase when Jack started to stroke him and thrust in to him with the same tempo.

Jack bent down so that Ianto could feel the man's hot breath against his ear. "You are so amazing," Jack said softly, "I don't think you know how much I need you."

Ianto felt Jack's love for him rush through his veins even if the man didn't say it out loud.

"I need you too, Jack," Ianto managed to breathe out right before he came.

TW-TW-TW-TW-TW-TW

When Jack and Ianto finally pried themselves out of bed it was 2pm. Ianto went straight to the coffee machine and Jack sat down on the old ratty couch. Ianto joined him minutes later with fresh coffee for both of them.

"So did you give her a higher dose this time?" Ianto asked as he handed Jack a coffee.

"Nope I kinda hired her," Jack said not meeting Ianto gaze.

"You can't kinda hire someone, Jack" Ianto said with slight annoyance.

"Fine, I hired her; we need the extra field agent. You and Tosh aren't much help in that area, and Gwen is already a trained police officer," Jack said trying to defend his actions.

Ianto raised his eyebrows, "I'll have you know I took martial arts classes in my teens, I am very good at attacking." Ianto said which caused Jack to laugh loudly. The immortal stopped when he saw the frown on Ianto's face.

"Oh, you were serious," he said putting his coffee down and then raising his hands in mock surrender, "Tell you what; if I need any attacking done you will be the first Welshman I call."

Ianto rolled his eyes, if Jack only knew, he thought.

"Anyway, if you are done being a complete ass," Ianto pouted, "I don't care that you hired Gwen Cooper so stop being so defensive."

Jack smiled and then lightly touched Ianto's cheek, "I know you are more than capable of field work Ianto I am just teasing. It's Owen who says you aren't allowed to do any because of your PTSD."

Ianto shook his head, "I don't have that," he pouted.

"Right, but you are taking the medication Owen prescribed for it aren't you?" Jack questioned.

Ianto sighed, "When is Miss Cooper's first day?" he asked avoiding Jack's question.

Jack looked at Ianto uneasily obviously noticing the dodged question, "umm Monday," he said.

Ianto nodded. "Well I hope she is enjoying the last weekend she will ever get," he said in a teasing tone.

Jack grinned hopefully forgetting all questions that deal with unneeded medications. "I don't know," the older man said, "the rest of today seems pretty clear as does tomorrow as far as the rift goes. So I guess we are getting that weekend to," Jack finished mock punching Ianto's shoulder.

"So what do normal people do on Saturday afternoon's?" Jack questioned.

"Oh, I don't know, maybe go see a film," Ianto said taking a sip of his coffee.

"Let's go see a film then," Jack said attempting to match Ianto's Welsh accent, causing Ianto to roll his eyes.

"OH," Jack exclaimed excitedly, "let's sit in the back row and fool around."

"We could fool around here Jack." Ianto said frowning.

"Where's the fun in that," Jack pouted.

When the movie was over Ianto made up his mind that it would be the last one he ever went to with Jack Harkness. The man refused to stay still and constantly switched between whispering naughty things in Ianto's ear and attempting to grope the younger man. As the credits rolled Ianto came to the decision that Jack had ADHD and was a sex addict. Ianto was certain the later of the two was true because as soon as they were both safely in the Torchwood SUV Jack wasted no time doing some of the more dirty things he had promised Ianto he would do during the film.

TW-TW-TW-TW

On Sunday Jack and Ianto spent the morning packing up Suzie's flat. Then at noon they returned to the hub for lunch and to meet Gwen to do all the paperwork that comes with a new hire.

"You look familiar," Gwen said to Ianto as he showed her how to log in to the Torchwood mainframe.

Ianto shrugged. He was sure she hadn't seen him that day he saw her with Jason so he didn't know why she would know him. He went on explaining about passwords, "You don't have to, but I suggest you change your password every two weeks or so. Tosh will always figure it out of course, but it is healthy to keep her on her toes. Also best to stay on her good side or she will 'accidentally' lock you out of the system." He looked over to see her staring at him as if he had something on his face.

"Did you use to work at a home for wayward teens?" She questioned.

Ianto panicked for a second on the inside, but then rewound her question in his head. She had said worked for not lived in. "Nope," he said casually.

She laughed, "Of course not that couldn't have been you it was going on 4 years ago, the guy I am thinking of was in his late 20's at the time. You would have been in your teen's yourself. See I kinda dated the owner of the place. Well for a night," she winked as if that was a joke, Ianto wasn't amused.

"Anyway," Gwen continued, "there was another bloke at the home when I went there, he favored you, but now that I think about it he had a scar on his cheek, so defiantly not you. Maybe he is your long lost bother or something," She concluded finally ending her rant.

Ianto decided right then that Gwen Cooper talked way too much, he now knew things he was sure he wasn't supposed to. He was going to call and talk to Jason about it anyway. Could be Gwen was wrong and the man she met at Jason could just be another man with brown hair and blue eyes. It didn't have to be who he thought it probably was.

Ianto put on a fake smile and looked at Gwen, "Maybe," he said to her, "Anyway that hall there leads down to the archives, that is where my main office is. Don't go in there without me or Jack, or you will get lost. Okay."

She nodded.

"Good, okay go to Jack's office and he will let you sign the rest of the papers and give you your pass card," he said to her and then watched as she walked away.

When Gwen finally emerged from Jack's office and left the hub almost 45 minutes later Ianto stuck his head into the office to look at Jack. He was smiling down at his desk looking at the paper work that Ianto assumed was Gwen's. Ianto cleared his throat to get the man attention.

Jack looked up as if he had been caught with his hand in the cookie jar. "Ianto, hey," He said stumbling over the words, which was quite a feat because there had only been two of them.

Ianto raised his eyebrows, "I am going to step out for a bit. You finish Gwen's paper work and when I get back we can go move Suzie's belongings in to storage," he said.

"Sure," Jack said. Ianto began to walk away then he heard Jack mumble, "I thought I was the boss."

"Not on days like this sir," Ianto called as he went through the cog door.

Ianto walked to his car and got into the passenger's seat. He activated a piece of tech he had stashed in the glove box that he had stolen from Torchwood London. If his car was bugged for some reason the whole time the tiny blue stone was active all the bug would be able to pick up would be static .He sighed and dialed Jason's cell phone.

"Hey baby, to what do I owe the pleasure," came Jason's voice on the other end.

"First off, don't call me that, secondly, Torchwood has hired a new girl by the name of Gwen Cooper. Do you know her?" Ianto said into the phone.

"Nope," Jason answered simply.

"Oh well she is the girl you cheated on me with," Ianto said calmly.

He heard Jason sigh on the other end of the call. "I didn't cheat on you Ianto, we were not exclusive, I don't do exclusive. Bet your hero Harkness doesn't either," Jason pouted.

"I didn't call to talk about our past," Ianto said choosing to ignore Jason's jab at Jack.

"Could've fooled me," Jason said so low Ianto almost didn't catch it.

"Anyway, Gwen recognized me from your house. One small problem though, she said I was older and had a scar on my cheek. Got any explanation for that," Ianto said.

"She was drunk," Jason tried.

"Do you think I am stupid," Ianto snapped.

"Of course not, I think you are very intelligent, so intelligent that you already know the explanation for why she recognized you, so intelligent that you know very well that I can't disclose the information that you want. So intelligent that you shouldn't want that information in the first place," Jason said sternly.

Jason was right; Ianto had already figured it out. Future him was in Cardiff, or had been in Cardiff nearly four years ago. Not only that but he had been at Jason's house at the same time as younger him and had met Gwen Cooper.

"Are you still there," came Jason's voice through the phone.

"Yes," Ianto said sounding chastised, "It's just a lot to take in is all."

"Yes, well best not to think about it," Jason said softly.

"Ya, okay well I've gotta get back to work, talk to you later," Ianto said with a sigh.

"Okay bye, oh and I love you," Jason said as Ianto ended the call.

TW-TW-TW-TW-TW

It was dark by the time Jack and Ianto were heading back to the hub after delivering the last load of Suzie's belongings into storage. The night looked peaceful and Ianto had just let out a sigh when something big and fiery flew across the Cardiff skyline.

Jack pulled the SUV over and they watched as the fireball crashed into the horizon.

Jack looked at Ianto and said, "Rally the troops, solider."
