Ok so psychology revision isn't going well! nevermind!


Jack was driving through Cardiff speeding his way through the early morning traffic. Following the map to where Louise was. Ianto sat silently in the passenger seat. Jack kept looking over at him nervously. He pulled up outside the warehouse, the SUV gliding quietly to a stop.

"Tell me we have a plan." Gwen said.

"I hadn't really thought about it."

"We go in and get Louise." Ianto said simply.

"Miles get blue prints to the building work out all the entrances and exits." Miles set to work as Jack loaded his Webley and Gwen and Ianto got extra cartridges for their Glocks.

"Ok so there are two entrances, one round the back of the building and one about 100 metres to our right." Jack looked at Ianto.

"Ianto with me we'll take the front Gwen, Miles take the back." They all got out of the car. Gwen and Miles ran towards the other side of the building. Ianto and Jack made it to the door leaning on it straining their ears to try and hear anything they could. They waited till Gwen and Miles told them they we're in position before pushing through the doors.

TWTWTW

Louise felt herself wake up, she didn't dare move, and all the men were still there. She hoped beyond hope Jack would find her. She felt dizzy from the bullet that had ripped through her brain.

"We better move that body." One of them said gruffly.

"Yeh I I'll help you in a minute." She heard the scraping of chairs being moved. She stayed completely still feeling the ropes be removed she squinted through her eyes one of the men was the man who had shot her, knowing the gun would still be in the waist band of his jeans she started to formulate a plan. She felt herself lifted clumsily as she let her weight shift slightly giving her the advantage she needed just as the warehouse door burst open. She grabbed the gun aiming a quick knee into the man's stomach, completely surprised by the doors he was caught off guard, letting go of Louise she kicked the other man in the chest sending him staggering backwards she shot a look over to the doors and there stood Jack and Ianto quite the handsome pair of heroes she smiled.

"About time you showed up." She yelled with a triumphant grin.

"Yeh well if you stopped getting yourself kidnapped!" jack threw back as he strode into the room. All the men started to move at once each grabbing guns and ammunition. Louise looked at the gun in her hands. 7 rounds, she smiled that would be fine she hoped. As the first man aimed his gun at Jack Louise shot him in the shoulder. He cried in pain instantly dropping the gun, and then several shots were fired of from all over the room, the large space making the gunshots reverberate deafeningly. Ianto and Jack dived behind a stack of crates and Louise ran behind a similar blockade. Shifting out from behind it she fired off another shot hitting another one of the men. She heard yelling.

"She was dead." There was so much disbelief in their voice.

"She was shot in the head she was dead." Another said incredulously. Jack and Ianto had their backs against their barricade each of them spinning out from either side firing off shots in succession another 2 men went down. That left two. She saw Gwen and Miles join the fray. Hearing more shots fired she stepped out from behind the barricade shooting the man closest to her, not noticing the oldest man's hand clasp one of the discarded gun.

"Louise." Miles shouted and she saw him just too late he fired off two bullets into her chest and turned on Jack shooting him as Jack shot him. She staggered back, Ianto shot the last man who aimed at Gwen. She hit the floor feeling the blood pulsing out of her. Ianto was at her side in a flash.

"Lou?" he gathered her in his arms stroking the side of her face, "no tell me this isn't it tell me." She looked up at him, Ianto watched as the life drained her eyes.

"no." He whispered, "No you can't leave me." He stood up suddenly angered he picked up his gun and kicked over the man nearest to him, "how many times did you kill her?" he pointed the gun at the man head, "well? He yelled.

"That was the 3rds." He stammered. Ianto shook with fury.

"Ianto don't." Jack said quietly. Ianto looked at him and Jack took the gun off of Ianto. Who went back over to Louise, cradling her head in his hands, hugging her to him he prayed for her to wake up.

"If you're not careful you're going to suffocate me." Ianto smiled slightly as he shifted her in his arms. Louise looked up into his tear rimmed eyes. "Ianto Jones don't you dare shed a tear over me! That's an order." He laughed. Louise sat up wrapping her arms around Ianto and hugging him close. She looked around at the team, Gwen was nursing a few minor injuries Louise guessed she'd got in to a fight with one of the unarmed men, Miles was seemingly unharmed but she could tell his right shoulder was hurting him where Sam had shot him. Jack was bleeding through a bullet wound in his chest and Ianto seemed fine.

"Jack I'd sit down before you fall!" she said as he swayed slightly from the blood loss. He did as she suggested. Miles was busily checking who was dead and who wasn't and hand cuffing them.

"They were working for someone they were hired to kill the whole team except Jack." Louise started to talk about what she'd heard.

"Not now Lou, you don't need to worry about it till we are back at the Hub." Ianto helped her up and started to take her to the SUV, Gwen and Miles helped Jack.

"I'll come back and collect them after I've got you lots back to the Hub." Ianto said as he started the engine. Jack slowly woke on the way back to the Hub; he'd been slumped in the back of the SUV. He'd just made it in before he died. Ianto made no quip about having to clean the blood out of the upholstery. When they got back to the Hub they all piled out and went down into their secret underground bunker. Ianto made coffee and told Jack to look over Gwen's cuts and bruises whilst he dealt with the warehouse.

Ianto returned several house later with three of the men in the back of the SUV. He'd burnt the warehouse to the ground, knowing the bodies would be burnt in the heat and if not there was no trace of Torchwood there so it wouldn't be traced back to them. He took the men down into the cells and locked them up, Jack could have fun questioning them later once they'd come round. He went back up into the main body of the Hub, Miles arm was back up in a sling and Gwen's wrist was strapped up. Jack looked the picture of health and Louise still looked pale sat quietly on the sofa in the Hub. A deep expression on her face, he wondered what she was thinking about. They all looked up as he entered.

"All sorted." He said simply. He went over to Louise. She smiled up at him wearily. "You need some sleep." He said and she stood quietly and he helped her down to the TARDIS. They lay down together and Ianto wrapped himself around her, she snuggled back so she pressed up against his chest.

"Are you alright Ianto?" she asked quietly.

"I'm better for having you here." He said simply. He hugged her tightly.

"Ianto?" she said quietly again.

"Yes Louise."

"Are you happy?" she felt his pause as if confused.

"Yes, of course I am."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes I'm sure why?"

"Well I just wondered if you missed Jack at all." He didn't answer straight away.

"I do but not in the way you're asking about." It was the truth he missed going out for a drink with Jack, they talked about so much.

"I just wondered if Jack was mortal would you chose him?" Ianto thought about it.

"I don't think so, no. Why?"

"Because I can fix him." She said quietly. Ianto felt his heart skip a beat.

"I'm sorry you can fix him?"

"I can turn him mortal." Louise said simply.

"Wouldn't that affect timelines or something?" Ianto asked quietly.

"Yes but if you wanted him and would be happy then I could do it."

"The doctor said Jack was wrong." Ianto said not really taking in the conversation.

"No, Jack isn't wrong maybe he was to start with but now the future is forming around him." She said simply. "Captain Jack Harkness is always there to save the earth." She said with a smile.

"So wouldn't fixing him cause problems?"

"No time would rework itself. It's not fixed."

"Don't fix him, he wouldn't be Jack anymore. Well don't fix him just yet." Ianto said thinking it should be jacks decision. "and don't tell him he's always here to save the earth, it'll go to his head." Louise laughed slightly. They fell into silence.

"I can I do something for you?"

"I don't know can you?" he asked confused.

"Well I know you want kids and well we can have kids..." she trailed off.

"We don't have to think about that yet we only just got together." He looked at her concerned, kissing the back of her neck affectionately. Yes he would love a child but he didn't want to try to run in this relationship before they were walking.

"I know not yet but I was thinking if we had a child well I think it would only be fair on the child if it was all one species, a cross human Time Lord child well it could be disastrous."

"Are you saying we can't?"

"No, No what I'm trying to tell you is...if we had a child it should have a normal life like 2 human parents who age correctly and by that I mean I could change myself." She paused again.

"Sorry I'm still rather lost!" she wriggled round in his arms to face him.

"Right yes sorry, There's a device called a Chameleon Arch, it can re-write my cells, my biology changing me into a human, I'd still be me but I'd be human the TARDIS would then write me a history and it should let you in and well I would be a human."

"But you'd be slightly different."

"Yes, sort of a bit of me." Ianto looked at her. It sounded wonderful living out his life with her.

"If it re-writes every cell, won't that hurt?" She didn't answer immediately.

"Yes."

"And you'd go through all that for me?" she looked up at him.

"Yes."

"I don't want to hurt you."

"Don't think about that, do you want me to be human?" it was a simple enough question. Ianto thought but it didn't really hold a simple answer.

"Sometimes I wish you were but I wonder would you be the same."

"I'll do it then."

"You don't have to." He said alarmed.

"I know I want to." She smiled.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeh, it'll be a new experience and anyway what could possibly go wrong?"
