Disclaimer: Forgot to put in other chapters. But i do not own any of the Torchwood, Doctor Who or anything else you find within these pages. Just the plot.

AN: Here's a chapter... I know it's short... But! I have written the next chapter, i just don't have time to write it on the computer at the moment. (It's midnight - School tomorrow) So I'll type it up tomorrow and give you one then. =]

Those We Leave Behind:

In the hub...

"Exterminate!"

Silence scream against the walls of the hub as the emotionless voice echoed through to comm. Sound had stopped. Movement had stopped. Time had stopped. It was almost as if life has simply seized to exist for a moment, before the Doctor's eyes snapped open, and his firewood orbs seemed to glaze over with helplessness. For an instant, raw emotion could be seen in his dark eyes, defeat in his slumped shoulders, pain in his tensed mouth - This soon changed as his mask was thrown back up and he pulled out his sonic screwdriver; frantically typing on the keyboard with grim determination.

In the SUV...

"Exterminate!"

Ianto jerked forwards in surprise, what he had just heard, replaying in his head.

"No..." He muttered as it echoed through his mind.

"No!" Ianto screamed in horror as the robotic voice was recognised by his memories.

Owen and Toshiko shared a concerned glance for their friend behind his back.

"Ianto?" Tosh softly queried.

"Lisa..." Ianto breathed and a tear ran down his otherwise emotionless face.

"That's it! Tea boy's finally lost it and gone to tea cosie heaven with the Cyberchick!" Muttered Owen sarcastically.

Toshiko glared at him disapprovingly and turned back to the youngest member of Torchwood. She gently placed her hand on his shoulder and spoke.

"Ianto?"

Ianto flinched slightly and slowly turned his pain-filled eyes to meet her enquiring ebony eyes. With difficulty, his voice thick with emotion he tried to explain his outburst.

"It shouldn't be... but... again..." He moved his head to stare at her, straight on. " Tosh... it's the Daleks... They're back."

The reciever of these words gasped and reeled back in recognition, hands jumpin to cover her mouth, only revealing her fearful eyes. "But..." Owen interrupted, oblivious to the seriousness of the situation..

"Tosh has gone and joined tea boy in tea cosie heaven. Now how will i get coffee...? Starbucks? Jack? Myfanwy..."

"Shut up Owen." She snapped.

"Would someone tell me what the bloody hell is going on then?!"

"..."

"We need to get back to the hub. Now!"
