Lycan Ianto

A/N: Hi all my loyal readers, sorry for the long wait for the next chapter. Between studying and a bit of writers block I put this fic on hold for a bit. Thanks for all the new readers who have put this fic on alert or favourited it, that gives me a warm feeling in my heart.

Chapter 37

"Jack, Jack they got him….fuck!... they got him…."

"What? The weevils?" Jack queried, running in the direction of where Owen and Conner were searching.

"No…..damn it….the bloody lycans"

Throwing Conner into the backseat of the car, a lycan pressed either side of him to prevent him from escaping Conner looked at each of the lycans that had knocked Owen to the ground and grabbed him before him or Owen could react. Conner silently berated himself, he was so intent on helping to locate the weevils he subconsciously ignored the distinctive scent of the fellow lycans. He didn't recognise any of the lycans as he looked at each one in turn but then he had left the clan quite some time ago and he figured that they recruited these lycans after he left. Knowing that he would need to buy some time he attempted conversation with his capturers. For this he earned himself an elbow in his ribs, wincing in pain he decided silence was the best part to play at this junction as he figured these lycans were just henchmen.

Jack quickly pressed at the blue tooth device, "Ianto?... Did they get Ianto?"

"I'm….I'm here Jack" Ianto said as he ran to where he and Gwen left the car.

Jack sighed in relief, "Okay gang, let's regroup"

Ianto floored the SUV covering the short distance in a matter of minutes to where they started from. Skidding to a stop the SUV sent a wave of gravel peppering close to Jack as he stood looking over Tosh's shoulder as she tried desperately to get a lock on Conner's tracer. Owen arrived shortly after looking thoroughly pissed, "I didn't get a chance to react, two werewo….lycans jumped me and held me down as two more grabbed Conner, damn!" Owen said as he slammed the door of the other SUV in frustration as he approached the others.

"Okay we knew eventually this would happen, if they want to take this to the next level then we now put the next part of the plan in place, now no mercy" Jack said assuredly, looking at Ianto who in turn shook his head firmly in agreement.

"Right first let's get Conner's family out of their home and into one of our safe houses"

Conner's family were told that if Conner was ever taken then they would be transferred to a safe house, when they were coming up with the contingency plan, Conner had given the okay for this to happen and even checked the house for suitability and security.

Owen turned to Tosh who was studying the screen of her PDA, "Tosh are you getting a reading of Conner's tracer?"

"North of here….about 3 miles from here and still moving" Tosh said.

Conner stared at the elders, recognising them all, as they hadn't changed much, his eyes trying not to rest on O'Hannan for too long, Jack and Ianto explaining to him that he had been protecting him unbeknownst to him.

"Conner, we know that you have been cultivating plants, we have indulged your passions" McGregor stated matter-of-factly.

"So?" Conner said not fighting the ropes bound around his wrists behind his back and ankles.

"We will be needing the plants that you have" McGregor stated, there was no asking or reasoning or even an order just a statement.

"And what if I don't give them to you?"

"Conner, Conner, Conner, now why wouldn't you do that" McGregor tutted "you can't keep your children and that lovely wife of yours protected forever"

Conner's rage erupted as he struggled against the ropes, "Don't you dare"

"Dare" McGregor snorted with revulsion, his hatred of anyone who protected the humans revolted him to the core, "oh I do dare. You are a lycan, your allegiance is to us, not some ape inhabitant and the half breed spawn you made"

Conner looked to the others, hoping to have them understand trying another angle, "Please, my children, they could be lycans, you wouldn't harm potential lycans"

The elders looked at him with a mixture of loathing and remorse.

"Conner we know that the recipe was taken out of the sacred box" McGregor stated, "that's to be expected, what with the Chosen One still siding with the humans"

All lycas knew of the sacred box but what was not common knowledge was what it contained, and the significance of the contents, so Conner just stated, "All this for a recipe!"

"Ah Conner, you like many other lycans believe that the recipe will strengthen us, and in many ways it will but it is so much more"

"Shush" Scar-face/Ferguson said his lips pursed in a grimace, at times McGregor infuriated him, with his gloating, he thought the less that Conner knew the better.

Conner knowing of the recipe's true significance continued to pretend of his ignorance of the recipe's real purpose but he needed them to think that he would resist in making the recipe initially.

"You being the botanist that you are, and a good one I believe, you will make up the recipe" McGregor stated.

"This is madness, why do you want to live forever, isn't our lives long enough?" Conner said, stating the story that all lycans, except for a select few, thought the sacred box would give all lycans.

"We are the master race, we deserve to live forever" McGregor roared.

"I can't, I won't" Conner pleaded.

"You can and you will" McGregor stated forcefully.

"Please, there is no need for the recipe to be made, we already have an advantage over the humans" Conner beseeched.

"What would be the point to live forever if these humans destroy all that we hold important to us?" McGregor questioned.

"We can teach them, show them, help them to keep this planet…"

"Enough!" Scar-face/Ferguson exploded, "I've listened to enough argument from you Conner, you will obtain the plants from your garden and make the recipe if you don't want your family harmed….or worst" he sneered.

Conner knowing when it was best to show acquiescence decided now was the time to reluctantly agree, "Okay, okay you win, my family is not to be touched"

"You will not be giving us directives" McGregor specified.

"I won't do this for you if I think that my family comes to any harm"

"You have my lycan word that we will not harm your family" McGregor said in sincerity, knowing that it would not be by his hand but ironically by Conner's hand that his family, his human family would be eliminated along with all the other humans.

Sighing Conner "Show me the recipe, then I will get the plants needed"

"I will accompany you to your home Conner" McGregor said.

"First I will need to tell my family to vacant my home, I will not have them there when we go to retrieve the plants" Conner said buying time for his family to be relocated by Torchwood.

"If that will make you feel better so be it", McGregor turned to Ginger/Thomson, "You will also be in attendance to make sure that he is using the right plants and not substituting different plants"

Conner looked at Thompson, the ginger-haired lycan, this is the one that Torchwood hadn't discovered as yet, Conner remembered him as an elder but he didn't think he was in the profession of botany or chemistry. So he was not in any prominent position of power hence why Torchwood couldn't locate him in their searches. But it seemed the lycan clan had him learn chemistry as a backup, it made sense. Silently thanking that Torchwood had changed the recipe and that the elders were unaware of this fact, he pretended to look worried.

"That's right Conner, don't think of changing the recipe ingredients, Thompson here, will know and by the way he was the one that analysed your sedative"
