37 11.10am Day Four
They touched down and Ianto helped her from the chopper then walked with her to the decontamination area, "What happened love?"
"When a bomb went off in Cardiff the underground area I was in caved in, I damaged the ankle but it's healing." Ianto assured her.
"Yes, like…bloody amazingly" Owen called out, "I think the Captain's special juices might be helping with that."
"Stop being disgusting" Gwen surprised them all by turning to face Owen, "We are all doing the best we can here, Ianto doesn't need that sort of derogatory remark."
"Thank you Gwen" he said with a glance at Jack who nodded and turned to speak with one of the soldiers.
"Well, shit. Sorry" Owen said without the least ounce of apology in his voice.
Ianto waited as Sarah Jane was scrubbed down and looked away politely as she redressed in some black clothing that made her look twenty years younger as her curves showed she was still an active woman.
"Right" she said as she stepped back around the screen, rubbing her hair dry, "What now?"
"Come on, I know Luke is dying to see Tosh and Mainframe is talking with Mister Smith" Ianto was talking excitedly as they walked along, "K9 sounds as snotty as ever, he is so pissed you left him at home!"
"I know" she laughed, "Luke is going to be apologising for ever."
"Well I am sure Mainframe is making him feel better, she loves new friends" Ianto smiled as he opened an arm to indicate she should enter first, walking onto the flight deck where she found her son under a console with Tosh, just their legs sticking out as they felt around for tools, disappearing again.
"Oh god, another bloody mole" Ianto sighed theatrically as Sarah Jane laughed.
"There you are!" her majesty called as she bustled towards them, "Sarah Jane? Really?"
"Hello Ma'am" she smiled happily.
"My goodness, look at you fine specimens of British stock" the queen preened, "And Jack."
Jack blinked, Ianto snorted and Owen crowed in the background.
"Don't be silly, I mean that Jack's not from Earth let alone the UK!" she snorted, seeing the confusion.
"Not from Earth?" Luke reappeared with interest.
"I'm Sure Captain Harkness has better things to do than amuse you" she scolded softly and Ianto knelt to look at the boy more closely.
"Luke is adopted" she said as she watched Ianto's' eyes scan, "He's genetically engineered with the DNA of…"
"I know who he is" Ianto cut her off, "I'm in there somewhere."
"Really?" Luke asked with glee, Jack now forgotten as he looked at one of his many fathers.
"The Bane" Ianto nodded, "I was briefly detained but then…well…I never was easily detained for long."
"I see a bit of you in him" Tosh said as she canted her head and squinted, "Sort of … around the eyebrows."
"Well, I do have distinctive eyebrows" Ianto chirped as he raised one.
"You all look so lovely in your black clothing" the queen said again, "I feel quite overdressed now."
"well, we could get you some if ya like" Owen said, "You're still a fit bird, I bet we could all look a bit like some rock n roll band out for a photo shoot with our mum."
Everyone stared at Owen as he bolshed up to her with his hands out, "See…you have cool hair and wouldn't need much more than some better shoes."
Then there was a roar of laughter and they all turned to find Prince Harry standing in the doorway still in his flight gear from the extraction.
"Come on Gran, you would look cool" he spluttered and she huffed, looking quite pleased with herself.
"Where is that father of yours?" Jack asked the young royal and he snorted, "Bora Bora. Him and the Camel are fine."
"Camel?" Gwen asked with confusion.
"Stop doing that or you will inadvertently call her that to her face one day" the queen said with amusement, "You are such a naughty monkey."
"Camilla" Owen whispered as Gwen continued to look confused and she finally smiled as she got the name.
"Right, come on Jack" Ianto said after he was satisfied everyone was happy, "I think Sarah Jane can handle things with the newcomers better than us, SJ can you liaise with Gwen and sort the best arrangements per sleeping berths?"
"Yes, of course" Sarah Jane smiled as she watched the young woman with the gap in her teeth pick up a clip file and move over to start looking at personalities and friendships.
Ianto and Jack left them to it and headed for the cargo hold where the children were playing, settling to watch Rhys help Micha negotiate a little course they had set up with boxes.
"This smells of David" Ianto snorted, "He loved his bike I got him for Christmas."
"We'll get him another" Jack soothed, reaching out to hook Ianto's hand and that how they stayed for a while.
Content to watch the reason they were fighting to survive.
