So...Kev is actually a collection of large alien hamsters wearing a humanoid meat-suit?

pm10261 wonderful as usual. Would love to see River ask what Jack's intentions are, and she will give him a hard time if he does not speak the truth. No one hurts her Ianto. Would love to see Gwen embarrassed even more, love a good Gwen Bash. And more of Tosh being a dragon, she is awesome.

1-You saved the best for last! Please, let Tosh have a bit more revenge... like spooky websites popping up on Gwen's office or home computer; viruses that sing all kinds of crazy songs or weird games, yada yada yada ...
2-Mama River and her "naughty smackalot child" Ianto. That was so much fun, especially with the Doctors' facepalming. Now comes the family talk with Jack; I'm sure River will make it clear to Jack what will happen if he hurts her baby boy.
3-Kev's an alien? Figures. But the Big Bakuu was the best; he and Ianto can bond over jammy dodgers and chocolate treats in the future; maybe even get a no-trespass on Earth treaty signed too.
4-Bald Gwen... heh heh heh... cow, you haven't begun to suffer yet! She should be suspended for a month to give the Hub peace, while Tosh wrecks her revenge remotely...

I swear, this is just TOO much fun.
Let's dump Gwen in a mental ward after about 5 to 8 years worth of retcon. And maybe a mild brain aneurysm. Just a little one.
Yay, Jack said he loved Ianto, with witnesses! No take-back, Jack.
Way to go, Toshiko! I do hope you didn't hurt your hand, though. May want to have Owen kiss it better for you.
Kudos.
More, please.

As much as the idea of fuzzies in a human suit is funny … no. Beepa were the front line, like foot soldiers. Bakuu are the big scary ones. LOL … I will keep that in mind tho for another chap maybe?
….
Jack bounced into his office with more excitement that he could realistically handle, reaching out to pull the hand forward as he intended showing the Doctor(s) that he had it only to hear the door click closed. He looked up with a grin spinning to say something saucy to Ianto only to find it was not him that was leaning against the door, quietly locking it with her sonic.
"Javic Thane" she purred, pushing off from the now locked door and Jack felt his balls crawling up into his stomach seeking sanctuary as River stalked towards him with a look of intensity that made him feel ever so inadequate all of a sudden.
"Melody Song" he found himself croaking out "Still scary as all hell."
"Sez the one inviting my claws" she grinned, canted her head and transformed to the beautiful woman he knew, his feeling of relief flowing over him as he saw that her sonic had been slipped back into her pocket without any threatening behaviour fist. You see … he knew now why Ianto had that little haughty streak …the excitable side that was almost childlike … he also now knew why Ianto had that other side. Cold, calculating and vicious. Quick like a viper.
"What are you thinking?"
"That you are like a pretty snake hypnotising me before you bite and kill me" he admitted "You always have this intensity to you that he doesn't. One I see in Ianto."
"You do?" she lit up and turned to look out the large full wall of glass at her child below as he seemed to argue with Gwen about something, his posture one of total annoyance as she sat wailing and Owen stood behind the woman taking photos on his phone with glee.
"Jack" she swing back to face him and he knew he was not safe yet, just stepping over landmines. "My boy. My little boy … you are fiddling with him?"
"Fidd…. Awwwww, now come on River. Ianto is not someone you… fiddle with. No. He… I mean… god. You know I hate using terms of endearment, that admitting affection or a connection only invites pain from the loss of it." He sighed, leaning back against his desk as he knew she would want nothing less "Yes. Ianto and I are… dabbling. We are… exploring our connections… OK?"
"And what will you do once you have explored every…connection" she said making him feel like a grubby old man deflowering a little virginal teenager or something. Mind you… now he knew the heritage he sort of was, wasn't he. Damn.
"I say this it is just between us right? Me to you. Not those crazy space fiends down there and not to Ianto. Not yet. I don't' think he wants to hear it yet, it's too soon to place it on the table, I can't show my hand too soon or he will fold. You know him better than I do ... you know he's a runner like his dad."
"Fir enough" she nodded, then waved a hand for him to continue.
"I have… feelings or him that may involve the…the…L word.. OK?"
"Leer… leach…loom….lick…."
"LOVE!" Jack roared then leaned back and cursed softly in an old language he had not spoken in many years, her soft laughter telling him she had won that round. As always she played a better game. Damn it.
"Thank you Jack" she nodded "Remember this moment. Have this ingrained in your mind and if you ever forget … I will remind you that you told me this. Do not hurt him, he is precious to me. To his father. He is unique."
He nodded mutely and watched her turn to leave. As she unlocked the door she added "And if not for the fact he admitted the same to me I might have hurt you anyway."
Jack sat on the edge of his desk for a long time staring at that doorway here she had left the door open in her escape, the words whispering in the back of his mind 'he admitted the same' like a strange melody. The Jones Hit-n-Run explained too.
Ianto looked up as his mother skipped down the stairs and frowned, calling out "You didn't break anything did you?"
"No darling, would I dare break one of your things?" she laughed moving over to the two Doctors who seem to reanimate as she drew nearer.
"See that?" Gwen sobbed to no one in particular That's love. I bet Rhys will see this and… and… "
"Say Bloody Torchwood" Ianto sighed "Stop being a mitherer. Get a fucking wig or something. You asked for it, you pissed everyone off!"
"Who are you?" Kev asked Andy leaning in close "you smell amazing."
"What?" Andy squeaked with surprise as the huge man leaned over him, sniffing him openly now.
"Yes… nice.'
Andy stared at him in mute terror.
"You know … from the back she looks like Darth Vader without his helmet. I still have mine here somewhere from Halloween last year. Do you think she will put it on for me?" Owen asked Toshiko who looked at him for a moment.
"Not my kink" she finally said.
Owen turned to her and snorted "are you kidding? Her? Nah, she was just something to do. Nah, she's nothing special. Not like you ... she doesn't have the same moxie you have toots."
"But I do agree with the reference" Toshiko smiled as she accepted his interest, reaching out to tap a blood red nail against the spacebar and then lean back.
Gwen's phone started to ring, the Star Wars theme music and Owen's eyes widened as he continued to look at Toshiko "No. You… how did you do that?"
"Or would you rather…" she tapped it again.
The theme to the musical Hair now played and he was getting giddy as Gwen shrieked and fiddled with the phone that would not stop.
Then… one that had the words 'Walk right in… sit right down.. baby let you hair hair down' echoed around the hub and Owen was in the floor howling with mirth as Gwen growled too.
Ianto gave Tosh a look of both reprimand and amusement so she grinned and decided one more tap.
I whip my hair back and forth, I whip my hair back and forth…..
Ianto gave a snort of glee and hid it in a polite cough as 11 looked over as 12. "ooooo I like this one!"
"Not enough guitar" 12 said back with a frown as he fumbled in his pocket for his sonic and flourished it "I would have gone for something with more meat… like … Led Zeppelin's Girl with long brown wavy hair."
"Oooo, yeah. Great riffs" 11 agreed then sighed "Look at us. You realise we are ignoring the elephant in the room."
12 looked down his nose at his younger self and whispered "But it's not OUR elephant now."
"No" 11 sighed, looking over at Ianto who was finally silencing the phone … "It's not."
Meanwhile outside Rhys had arrived and was trying to remember the code to the base looking over at the woman approaching with a boy holding her hand. "Hi, you looking for Torchwood?"
"Yes, I need to see Jack" she nodded and Rhys looked at the boy with alarm.
"Oh god… not his is he?" Rhys said then apologised.
"No … no. I am" she replied leaving Rhys more confused than ever.
At least he remembered the code as the door swung open to let them in.
