Chapter 45.

(Harry POV)

I was finally back in Cardiff and found where Jack was and turned out we had a problem so we went to find the others where there was this fish holding a person hostage.

"Gwen go left, Tosh go right, Ianto Take centre, Positions," Owen said.

"Massive levels of adrenalin," Tosh said. "Mixed with approximately 3 grams of cocaine this fish is wired,"

"So this is Team Torchwood, The Teachers Pets, But Teacher is gone hasn't he? Leaving the kiddy kids all alone, and look at you trying so hard to be all grown up, The Doctor, with his hands full of blood, The Carer with her oh so beating heart, The Technician with her cold devices Which leaves me with the office boy, Promoted beyond his measure, All of you lost without your master, All of you pretending to be so brave, All of you so scared, So what about it, Minion? Can you do it, How good are you, How sharp is your aim, What if you kill her, What if I kill her first, Can you shoot before I do Can you. Dare you, Would you, Won't you," It said as Jack shot it.

"Hey Kids, you miss me," Jack said. "Ha,"

"Jack the fuck," I said.

Then we cleared it all up and headed back to the Hab.

"Are you sure no more like him came through," Gwen said.

"Cross referencing with the rift activity monitor, Doesn't look like it," Tosh said.

"The Car's impounded I'll get back to the owner," Ianto said.

"How you doing?" Gwen said.

"Bio-profile's onscreen, Nothing in his genetic make up to contaminate the city," Owen said.

"Tosh can you add that to the species database," Gwen said. "Ianto,"

"Hello," Ianto said.

"Can you deal with the body when it's cold," Gwen said.

"My pleasure and I'll make sushi," Ianto said.

"The Morgue'll do fine," Gwen said.

"Got Organised without us," I said.

"Yeah, well we had to," Gwen said.

"Did you decorate in here," Jack said.

"You left us, Jack, Both of you, We knew nothing," Gwen said.

"Where were you?" Tosh said.

"Far away," I said.

"I found my Doctor," Jack said.

"Did he fix you?" Owen said.

"Nothing to fix," I said.

"You don't mess with this level of perfection," Jack said.

"Are you going back to him?" Ianto said.

"We came back for you," I said.

"All of you," Jack said.

"Rift activity," Tosh said.

"Then Let's ride," I said.

Then we got there and there was a body.

"Fragments of rift energy around the neck, arm and shoulders," Tosh said.

"He was grabbed and pushed," I said.

"Explains the residual energy cluster," Tosh said.

"How did you ever managed without us," Jack said.

"So, there's a killer on the loose, bipedal, maybe humanoid," Owen said.

"Any alien tech involved," I said.

"No readings to suggest that," Tosh said.

"Let's get back and see what we can piece together," I said.

"Taking charge again," Gwen said.

"I was hoping for a power struggle, resolved by some naked wrestling," Jack said.

"Jack," I said.

Then we headed back to the SUV where Jack Vortex Beeped.

"Wow that never beeps," Ianto said.

"That's what I was thinking," Jack said.

"I can't believe, I got answer machine, What can you be doing that's more important than me, Anyway, you're probably traced the energy shift found the body, All me, sorry about the mess, Bill me for the clean up, Now drinks, Retrolock the transmission coordinates, that's where I am, And hurry up, work to do, Help me," He said as I cut it off.

"He was not going to say that," I said. "Who is he?"

"Stay here, Don't come after me," Jack said.

Then Jack took off with the SUV.

"What was that?" Gwen said.

"No idea," I said.

"TAXI," Ianto said as we got in and went after him.

"Reports of a bar disturbance, Same coordinates as the SUV," Tosh said.

"Tell the police, We're handling it," I said.

"Who the hell was that bloke in the hologram," Owen said.

"No idea, But Jack knew him," I said.

"Why didn't he let us go with him?" Tosh said.

"Could be trouble," I said.

Then We got there and we split up and had our guns ready. Then there was a shot.

"All right everybody out," He said.

As We came out.

"Jack you good," I said.

"It's ok,"

"You've got a team, how sweet, Oi Pretty little friends, no Blonde though, you need a blonde," He said.

"Jack, This guy worse than you," I said.

"Oh do you have a team name? Go on," He said.

"Torchwood," Jack said.

"oh Not Excalibur?" He said.

"Gwen Cooper, Ianto Jones, Toshiko Sato, Owen Harper, Harry Tyler Meet," Jack said.

"Captain John Hart," John said,

"We go back," Jack said.

"How far before I met you," I said.

"Yeah," Jack said.

"Excuse me, we more than go back, we were partners," John said.

"In what way?" Ianto said.

"In every way," John said. "And then some,"

"It was 2 weeks," Jack said.

"Except that 2 weeks was trapped in a time loop, so we were together for 5 years it was like having a wife," John said.

"You were the wife," Jack said.

"You were the wife," John said.

"No you were the wife," Jack said.

"God, Damn it, you give it a break," I said.

"Oh but I was a good wife," John said.

"Bet you were," Tosh said. "What? Don't pretend you haven't noticed, he's cute,"

"They're just shy," John said.

"What are you doing here," I said.

"I was wondering when we'd get to that," John said.

"That's the same as yours," Tosh said.

"A little smaller," Jack said.

"but lasts, much longer," John said. "get 2 Time agents in the same room together It's always about the size of the wrist strap,"

"Yes, sorry what's a Time Agent," Owen said.

"What, he's never told you about his past," John said.

"No he hasn't," Gwen said.

"Get to the point," I said.

"Anyway, I'm working with this woman, beautiful, Clever, And we both get shot, And as she's dying, she begs me, Tells me about these radiation cluster bombs she'd been working on," John said.

"I don't like the sound of that," Owen said.

"3 Canisters, contents beyond toxic swallowed up in a riftstorm," John said.

"And ended up here," Gwen said.

"Bingo, That's the downside of your city being built on a rift in space and time," John said. "Left to their own devices, the radiation'll break down the canisters and then infect your people and planet, They need to be neutralised,"

"What do you get out of this," Jack said.

"Dying woman's wish," John said. "Now there's only one problem I don't know where they are, Hoping local knowledge might help,"

"When we get back to the Hab I can run a citywide scan on radiation surges and cross reference that with the rift activity during that time span," Tosh said.

"Then let's go," I said.

Then We were back at the Hab, But I went for the Tardis, and headed in.

XXX

After a while The team was away finding them. But I Needed to do something else, But then I got back to the Hab where only John was there. Then Owen, Tosh, Gwen and Ianto was that.

"That's enough, Hold it," I said.

"Okay, Beautiful and resilient," John said.

"Maybe you don't realise, You can beat, shoot, threaten and even poison us, and we keep coming back stronger every time," Gwen said.

"Well, I think you should know your boss is splayed out on the," John stopped as Jack came in. "Pavement, Now that's impressive, Seriously, you can earn a fortune in the Vegas galaxies with an act like that, Go on how's it work?"

"I can't die," Jack said.

"Huh, No but really," John said.

"No but really, You can't kill me, No matter how many times you try, I can't die, Ever," Jack said.

Then we were in the office. "Open it," Jack said.

"There she is," John said.

"The Woman you killed," Gwen said.

"You've travelled several galaxies for this, Well done," She said.

"Thank you gorgeous," John said.

"Expect, There's no Diamond," She said.

"What," John said.

"Oh that's good," I said.

"Only this," She said as it latched onto John. "It's an explosive device, which will latch on to the DNA of whoever killed me, It'll detonate in 10 minutes, it can't be removed without exploding, So don't bother trying, Goodbye lover see you in hell," Then she disappeared.

"How big is this explosion likely to be," Gwen said.

"That Technology big," I said.

Then John took Gwen hostage and left the Hab.

Then Owen and Jack went to the med bay.

Then Came out as we raced for the SUV and then we got there and then Jack injected John with something as the Bomb delatched and then Jack through it into the Rift. Turning it Night-time.

"What the hell," Jack said.

"Jack, what's going on, Why is it dark?" Gwen said.

"That Explosion, The Rift reverted the moment he came through, Not we got to make sure we don't meet ourselves, Like he was never here," I said.

"What was in the syringe?" Gwen said.

"Torchwood DNA," Owen said.

"What," Gwen said.

"Samples from all of us to confuse the disc," I said.

Then John took those cuffs off Gwen and then Gwen hit him.

"Oh," I said.

"Ahem," Jack said. "Definitely bigger,"

"Go," I said.

Then he left.

And I got to the Tardis.

That's all for this chapter.

Stay tuned and safe

Love Y'all
