"Ok I called this meeting because I have some news, as of today we officially have a second in command"
Owen sat upright immediately expecting Jack to say his name
"I want you all support him, he's a valued member of this team and deserves the respect you all give me"
Owen sniggered
"If you fancy shooting someone though, I would much prefer you shoot me as Ianto would actually die"
Owen had just taken a mouthful of his coffee and proceeded to spit it all over the table
"You made the teaboy second in command" he screamed
"Yes Owen I did, Ianto does a lot more round here than just make the coffee. None of you ever thank him for the work he puts in keeping us motivated and getting us everything we need before we even realise we need it"
"He's got no field experience," said Owen clearly miffed that he wasn't second in command
"Ianto has plenty field experience and will join us as and when his work in the hub allows, he was a very competent field agent in London"
"What ever" said Owen, picking up a slice of fruitcake and munching.
"Just a couple of others things, if Ianto asks any of you to do something you will do it, as if the request comes from me, do you understand"
Gwen and Tosh just nodded. Ianto sat saying nothing, he was just waiting for Owen to explode.
"Owen do you understand?"
"Yes sir" said Owen angrily
"Just fucking wonderful, I get to risk my life on the word of the tea boy"
"OWEN, that name calling stops now. If you insist on calling Ianto names and not accepting his position within this team then you can leave right now"
"I don't have to like it," he said miserably,
"No Owen you don't have to like it but I'm afraid there's one more thing you're going to have to get used to," said Jack
'Here it comes' thought Tosh
"What now?" said Owen
"Ianto changed his name whilst we were on holiday" said Jack
"What you mean he actually changed his name to teaboy"
"OWEN THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING CALL HIM THAT AGAIN AND I'LL MAKE SURE YOU FIND OUT WHAT PAIN IS REALLY LIKE" screamed Jack standing up and leaning across the table and staring at him
"Alright I'm sorry jees can't even take a joke" whimpered Owen, visibly shuddering as Jack stared him down
"I'll take the bait, what do you mean Ianto changed his name" said Owen
Jack straightened up and held his hand out to Ianto
"I want you to meet Ianto Harkness-Jones"
"What is this shit?" said Owen
"Ianto and I got married," said Jack holding up his hand to show them the ring
"Congratulations" screamed Gwen and jumped up to hug them both
Owen just sat drinking his coffee and munching on the cake.
"You enjoying that cake Owen" asked Jack as Owen helped himself to another piece
"Its good actually, where'd you get it"?
"Its their wedding cake Owen" said Tosh
Owen choked and spat the cake all over the table. It dawned on him that Jack wasn't joking he'd actually married the fucking teaboy.
"This place is going to the fucking dogs" he screamed and leapt from his chair knocking the coffee flying across the huge table, it dripped on the floor
"Tosh, Gwen get out," said Jack calmly
They left the conference room and closed the door behind them
"Owen I don't care what you think, Ianto is my second in command and my partner you either live with it and give him the respect he deserves from you and very other member of this team or you leave, is that understood"
"Crystal" said Owen
"Good now you can clean up your own mess, from now on we pick up our own rubbish"
Owen nodded. Jack took Iantos hand and they left the room. Owen was mumbling to himself, as the door closed behind them. He lost his temper
"Fucking wonderful just fucking wonderful, it was bad enough him being his fuck buddy but no he has go and fucking marry him"
The door opened and Owen didn't see it coming, Jacks fist collided with his chin and he was thrown to the floor.
"KEEP IT UP OWEN, I CAN KEEP HITTING LONGER THAN YOU CAN REMAIN STANDING" screamed Jack and slammed the door shut as he left Owen on the floor.

Things were going to be very different at Torchwood. VERY different.
