I know I haven't written in forever but plot bunnies seem to fly away from me recently. To be honest I only started to think about this again where someone added to favorite stories out of the blue thank you :D

This story is very angsty and not nice for Jack but it does have a happy ending so please keep reading.

Warning: strong language and themes

Jack closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, it had been a long day, and he had spent the last 2 hours chasing weevils around the lower end of Cardiff with Ianto. As much as he wished he hadn't he had sent Ianto home wishing him a good night's sleep.

"Hello Jack"

Jack opened his eyes in horror and saw a flash of red before darkness flashed across his eyes, rushing into his ears and his head erupted with a white fire.

Coughing into the dust and holding in a painful scream Jack shocked back into life. Trying to raise a hand to his head he discovered he was tied to the door of a dingy little flat. Looking around the cream walls and pink flowery décor Jack shook his head.

"Killing old ladies again or was she already dead this time?" He shouted into the flat, not even pretending to look scared when john walked slowly into the room examining a small figurine of a dog playing with a butterfly.

"Already dead" John mumbled out of the top of his mouth not looking at Jack as he walked to an armchair and sat deeply back into it, throwing the figurine behind him.

Jack rolled his eyes and pulled against his restraints, "Can you let me go?"

"No Jack I cant" John said firmly looking up Jack was surprised to see that John was crying, " I cant let you go, no matter how many men, how many women, how many anything I cant let you fucking go!"

John turned away from Jack ashamed; pulling a bottle of a nameless colorless liquid from his jacket he took a long gulp and replaced it with a sigh. Jack watched speechless, for the first time he actually felt pity for this man, this man he had once loved.

"John..."

"Say you will come away with me?" John interrupted him hopefully "Forget eye-candy forget Torchwood, it's a lie and you know it. They don't know you like I do, I know what you need, you need drink, you need drugs, you need sex, and you need me. I know that if you have one little taste, just a taste and you will be back like old times. Come away with me Jack come away with me and let's burn the stars, let's rule them!"

Jack snorted "Quit recycling old routines I told you before I have changed, I want to stay. I don't care what you say I am not leaving Earth or Torchwood and especially not Ianto"

John turned and paused watching Jack, seemingly contemplating the man before him. Then suddenly he exploded, pulling a golden tipped silver gun from his holster he aimed at the other man, shooting him in the stomach. Running forward h leant in close to Jacks face and whispered " I really wish you said yes" He jammed two fingers into Jacks bullet wound causing the other man to scream out in agony , removing his fingers he laughed.

"Now you are going to wish you did too" Kissing him roughly on the mouth he turned and walked away leaving Jack to bleed slowly to death.

……………………………………………………………………………………………....

When Jack woke again he found he had been moved, he now lay on the bed, chained to the bedpost, any other day and he would have welcomed it but this time his heart dropped. A cold wind caused the hairs on his neck to stand up, wrapping itself around his legs, looking down Jacks heart nearly stopped he had been stripped.

"What are you going to do to me? Keep me here for ever?" Jack called out surprised at the weakness of his own voice.

"No Jack I am going to show you what you are missing until you change your mind" John kneeled on the end of the bed and began to undo his belt; Jack froze and shook his head in disbelief.

"What?! Get away from me "Jack struggled as John crawled along his body and shook his head in disbelief.

Jack struggled as John crawled along his body running his down his thighs. John leapt forward and held him down chuckling, "oh you're going to have to do better than that"

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Jack waited till John finally left 3 hours later to let go, throughout he had been silent not wishing to warrant the other man with even a tear but now he sobbed pitifully, pain ripping through his body his head pulsing with it. Trying to take his mind off his situation he turned them to Ianto and his team but John crept in making his team seem so far away, a distant memory.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

"This isn't like last time!"

"Face it tea boy, our captin disappeared again and left you without so much as an explanation."

"It's not true! Something has taken Jack and we are just sitting here staring at the fucking floor!" Iantos face flushed with fury as he paced around the others who sat around Jacks office picking at his things, Gwen and Tosh's faces stained with tears.

"Yeah right and what made you so sure?" Owen stared at the younger man with eyebrows raised.

"His coats still here" The others span around and gasped, hanging on the coat hook was the Greatcoat.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Jack stared at the ceiling watching the patterns the smoke from John's cigarette made against the foam tiles. He stiffened his muscles to stop them from shaking, trying to stem them as they felt as though his skin was cracking up taking his ribs with them.

"Are you comfortable?" John said smiling inanely as he regarded the captin, "Fine don't speak " John turned away again and stood up, pulling up his Jeans and walking away he ran a thumb up his own naked torso, licking it he laughed " tastes like you"

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Ianto led the attack, striding purposely to the door he kicked it, sending it flying open, rushing in he surprised the half naked John who fell to the ground heavily as Ianto kicked in the stomach. Aiming his gun at Johns head Ianto growled "Where's Jack?"

The others rushed past him, suddenly a gasp came from the bedroom and Gwen's voice rang out "He is in here".

Ianto struggled for a minute between wanting to go to Jack and wanting to keep and eye on John. To hurt him. Ianto can to a resolution; He pulled a taser from his belt and shot John through the head, and rushed into the bedroom.

Owen blocked his entrance, "Ianto mate maybe you shouldn't…."

Ianto pushed him out of the way and stopped dead. He burst into tears and rushed to Jacks' side.

Jack was lying still chained to the bed, naked and shivering his skin was coloured black and blue. His face was drawn and grey, tearstains and covered in cuts and bruises.

"Jack?" Ianto whispered placing a hand on Jacks cheek, biting his lip as Jack flinched, "I'm here to save you"

Jack laughed a gurgling laugh that caused the girls to look at each other with worry. "I knew you would come for me"

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Jack woke and glanced at the clock, 2:30 he had only been asleep 10 minutes.

"Are you ok?" Ianto sat up and wrapped an arm around Jacks chest. He didn't say anything else waiting for Jack to talk, he had been here before, last time however it was him having nightmares and Jack was the one to comfort him.

"He kept telling me he loved me, while he did it" Jack rubbed his face against Iantos which rested on his shoulder. "I just don't understand, I know how he killed without care, i've seen so much terror, so much death and this, and this is what I can't understand about him!"

"Jack, he is gone, he will never hurt you or anyone else"

"I was him though, I killed with him I did those things with him, is that what I am going to turn into, I don't want to hurt you"

"You have changed I know you would never do that, I know you wont hurt me you couldn't "Ianto kissed softly on the neck holding him tighter feeling Jack move into the embrace welcoming the safety of his arms,

"He said he loved me, what if you leave me, what if I do this to you", Jack held Iantos hand " I know what he felt, I would never be able to let you go, I would want you to feel the same"

Ianto turned Jack around to face him, "I will never leave, and I love you"

Jack smiled a watery smile "Really? " Ianto nodded solemnly "I love you too"

The two men stared at each other searching the other mans face for a sign of lies, finding none they broke into identical grins. Ianto sat back and pulled the bed sheets up against him, He had slept in the bed but Jack hadn't even tried for four weeks, ever since Johns had attacked him. Jack watched him.

"Your hairs getting long" Jack reached forward and ran his finger through Iantos hair.

"I'll get it done tomorrow"

"Don't I like I that way" Jack shuffled next to the younger man, running his hands through he hair and down Iantos neck, rubbing out the stressful knots in Iantos neck.

Ianto moaned and closed his eyes as Jacks hands massaged lower and lower.

Ianto stopped him and looked him in the eyes "Are you sure you want to?"

Jack just smiled and pulled Ianto into a kiss running his hands further down the Welshman's skinny, muscular body. "Definitely"
