"Owen are you sure about this?" Jack asked as they began searching for the team's DNA samples
Owen had thought on his feet and decided to try and confuse the explosive that was, as they worked, counting down to eventually blow up causing certain death for John and Gwen including a large part of Cardiff.
"Trust me, I'm an improviser," Owen replied hurriedly preparing to combine the DNA
"Funny that doesn't exactly fill me with confidence,"
"Jack when have I ever let you down?"
"Well there was the whole opening the rift causing it's energy to splinter across the whole world resulting in roman soldiers angrily running through the streets Cardiff, the weevils going a wall and not to mention the black death being brought to this century!" Jack exclaimed
That was one time!
"Okay, okay you've made your point but this time I'm sure of this," Owen said
"Right fine, so run me through it again,"
Owen sighed, combining the DNA samples
"The explosive is programmed to attach itself to the DNA of the person who killed that woman, John, if we inject him with samples of our DNA, it will hopefully confuse the device and fall off him," Owen explained getting out an empty syringe
"Interesting," Jack commented "So why are you helping John, thought you hated him?"
"I do, I'm doing this for Gwen," Owen lied
Jack laughed; He was leaning on one of the cabinets in the medical bay, watching Owen do the work with his arms crossed, typical Jack
"Now I know that is a lie, you hate Gwen,"
"She led us while you were away, the team would fall apart without her, my feelings towards her don't come in to this," Owen said agitatedly "And I don't hate her, I strongly dislike her sometimes, that's all,"
Owen finished depositing the combined DNA samples in to the empty syringe and turned to leave.
"Owen," Jack put his hand on Owen's arm to stop him
"Jack, we have to save Gwen!" Owen shouted shaking Jack off him.
They used the car that the blowfish stole to get to the crack in the rift as quick as they could. When they arrived Gwen was dragging John towards it but she stopped and turned back
"Tell Jack, tell Jack I-"
She is not going to say something idiotic now is she, well of course she, she's Gwen.
But she didn't say anything; Owen and Jack cut her off. Once Owen had stopped the car Jack got out immediately and ran towards John. Owen was close behind, he was the one who thought up the idea and concocted it but Jack was going to be the one who saved the day. But that was Jack all over, wasn't it.
Jack jumped on John taking him and Gwen to the ground, there was a lot of jabber from John followed by a shout when Jack pierced his chest with the syringe
"What the- Ow," John said confused
"Why isn't it working?" Jack questioned after a moment
"I, I don't know," Owen yelled feeling a rush of nervous adrenalin, watching the counter still going down and John still waiting to die. This was their only hope and Owen had failed, there was nothing they could do.
"We've got to go Jack," Gwen was saying now
Jack nodded helping them up, Gwen continued her journey to the rift opening
Owen opened his mouth to say something, he didn't know what but he wanted to stop them when suddenly the device fell from John's chest. Owen smiled devilishly and took a moment to reflect on how amazing he was, but then he remembered that the device was still going to explode so he ran for cover. Jack luckily managed to throw the explosive in to the rift causing only a minor explosion in which no one got hurt.
It did however, somehow, make the rift revert time back to when John first came arrived. Owen welcomed the rain and the cold air like it was giving him life. He stood up shakily and helped Tosh up who he had ended landing next to.
"The rift has reverted to when John first came through," Gwen said dumbly
"Well done captain obvious any other pearls of wisdom you'd like add," John replied aggressively standing up
Gwen just glared following suit and getting up
Yeah, great come back Gwen!
"What was in that syringe?" she then asked
"Torchwood DNA, it confused the device," Owen stuttered
"So I've got a little bit of all of you inside me, great," John said sardonically frowning
"We need to find a way to get these off," Gwen went on to say holding her arm up
"Actually," John interrupted leaning his head back and reaching down in to his throat eventually extracting a key "Keep the lining of your throat, it's very useful," He explained
"You had that all the time?" Gwen exclaimed
"You were my ticket to freedom,"
John was smiling at Gwen, obviously pleased with himself, for manipulating another set of people.
"You are unbelievable," Gwen growled
"And yet you still find my strangely attractive," John told her smiling even more
That earned John a good smack in the face; Owen couldn't help but think, briefly, of when John had said that to him in the warehouse.
Jack was now talking to John, Owen couldn't hear exactly what was being said but he was sure that John would be trying to sweet talk Jack in to letting him stay. Then John kissed Jack, Owen looked away and noticed Ianto was looking away too, Owen didn't feel jealous why should he? He felt a hint of sadness and that was even more confusing.
Owen watched as John walked away from the team and Jack, and stepped in to the rift, for a split second he felt John's eyes on him but Owen looked straight passed him, he wasn't even sure why.
"Oh by the way, I found Gray," John said as he dematerialized
"Who's Gray?" Gwen quipped
But Jack was frozen to the spot.
"Jack!" Owen shouted, he had really had enough by now
"It's nothing," Jack replied turning to them "Let's go,"
So there we are another chapter. John's gone how will Owen feel now and did he feel Jealous? Or sadness? Or both what the hell is going on with that man and well the team suspect something?
