Chapter Twenty-One

'Have they gone?' Megan asked as she peered over Dr Winters shoulder.

'I think they have for the moment.' He replied.

'I bet they'll be back soon,' Robert said. 'They didn't like us escaping.'

'Right what did I miss?'

They all turned around to seen John. Their mouths hang open in shock.

'See I told you I wasn't really a Doctor,' Winters sighed.

'No, he was dead.' Megan said cautiously.

'How can he have been?' Robert asked.

'Hello still in the room, well clearing,' John said. 'Yes I probably was dead. Still you lot can't speak two thirds of you should also be dead.'

They looked at him in puzzlement.

'You're making even less sense than you used to,' Winters said.

'You lot don't remember do you?'

'We remember you where dead John,' Megan said.

'John, who's John?'

'You.'

'No I'm Jack.'

'Interesting because you were John his morning,' Robert said.

'Well I'm Jack now, he said beaming. 'Do you know who you are?'

'Of course we do,' Said Robert, but Winters and Megan looked less convinced. 'Come on you two.'

'I'm not sure,' Megan said.

'Dr Winters,' Robert pleaded.

Winters shook his head.

'I know who you all are,' Jack said.

'Go on then,' Robert invited.

'You are called Ianto Jones and you are very much alive,' he smiled.

'Ok…' he said very unsure.

'And us?' Megan asked eager to know what her memory had been hiding from her.'

'Gwen Cooper and Owen Harper.'

She grabbed onto that name, it did indeed seem to strike a cord.

'I'm not a Doctor then?' newly named Owen asked dejected. 'I rather liked that idea.'

'Oh you most certainly are, the best human doctor I have even known.'

'Have you known many non human ones?'

'Those memories still aren't back are they?'

Gwen was distracted by movement, 'They're coming back.'

'Who are?'

'The men that want to shoot us.'

'Well I always find it's a good idea to run in the opposite direction from men who want to shoot you. Who's with me?'
