"You shouldn't have come." Jack growled at his new found companion.

"Hey, I just wanted to help." Frank replied, holding his hands up in defeat. Maybe it hadn't been the best idea to come, but he couldn't not come.

Accepting that Frank was with him and they couldn't really turn back now, Jack began to walk.

"So, where do you reckon he might be?" Frank asked, a little sarcastically. They were standing in the middle of the desert. It wasn't like any desert on earth, however. The sand was green like grass, and bright blue boulders were dotted around. The only place that one could possibly hide in was the cave to their left, the only thing larger than a human for miles.

"John really needs to pick his hiding places better" Jack said, striding purposefully towards the cave.


"No!" Gerard yelled, his hand reaching out to grasp Frank's shirt as he disappeared with Jack.

But it was no use.

Frank and Jack and gone in a white flash that left Gerard cold.

Mikey, Bob and Ray stood gobsmacked. After opening and closing their mouths several times with no sound coming out, all three reached forward and tried to comfort the sobbing Gerard by rubbing his back.

"Mikey? Mikey, is he gonna come back?" Gerard choked out. Mikey was still struggling to talk.

"I don't know, Gee..." He began, before being greeted with punches on his arm from Ray and Bob.

"I mean, yes, yes, I'm sure he will, don't worry." He said, trying to reassure his brother.

It was hard to reassure and comfort someone else when he himself wasn't sure, and Mikey had never been very good at lying.

Gerard saw through him, despite not being able to see through his tears.

"I miss him more than I did yesterday."


Walking in to the cave and ducking under the very low 'ceiling', they were met with Ianto. However, not Ianto as they knew him. His skin was the same shade of red as Gerard's hair, and his eyes were bright like diamonds. It suited him, kind of.

"Surprise." Ianto said gruffly when he saw the two enter. He gestured to his chains when they'd motioned for him to stand up.

"Standard iron, no problem to cut through." Jack said, already starting to cut them open with a knife hidden in an invisible pouch of his dress.

The scene must have looked quite hilarious: a red, suited man chained to a crevice in the wall, being freed by a tall man in a wedding dress while a short, well dressed but still scruffy man tried to run his fingers through hair that was no longer there.

A short while later, Ianto was free. Jack and Frank pulled him up, waiting for Ianto to regain his stance before they went back.

"So, Ianto, why are you red?" Frank asked. To be honest, he hadn't meant to ask that, but he felt like if he'd asked where the hell they were, he'd be treated like a little child left out of the joke.

"Permanent marker. Luckily, it's not so permanent on skin!" Ianto said, laughing a little. "God knows why he wanted to colour me in."

"Red does suit you." Jack said with a slightly suggestive grin and a raise of his eyebrows.

Reaching the point where Jack and Frank had appeared, the three stood in silence for a minute or two.

"...You do know how to get us back, don't you?" Frank asked; hope filling his voice and his eyes looking up at Jack somewhat pleadingly.

"Kinda."


HEY GUYS!

I didn't know how I should end the Gerard bit, so I've quoted MCR (as always) but changed it a little bit.

So yeah, John chained up Ianto then pulled a red sharpie from his pocket and coloured him in.

(I have red pen all over my hand and I tend to write on people, inspirationssss)

And now they're stuck in the desert. Uh oh.

I wrote this instead of doing my chemistry homework, woops.

Oh, and I have to keep my braces on for at least 10 more weeks :(

Thank you guys, for being here and reading the stuff I vent my anger through. Means a lot 3

Oh, and doctor-emily001, I have no idea about the Myfanwy thing... I've been thinking about it, I think the name just appeared. Will do research (watch episodes) to find out.
