Hi Guys! Well if you've got this on Story Alert then you'll probably be wondering what the hell's going on! i'm new to this site and well i didn't realise that there was a replace button - like a thick whit! Anyway, i have it all sorted and here are 3 lovely new chapters for me! Oh and i would love some reviews - in whatever form!

"Mel! Mel! MEL!" With each time he said her name, his voice had risen until eventually he was shouting her name at the top of her lungs. Ianto had heard him, and had come awake with a jolt, causing him to release Mel and look at Jack in shock.

"What's wrong, Jack?" he asked concerned.

"Something is wrong with Mel! Ianto, I don't know what to do!" he said in a desperate voice. They shared a look for about a millisecond before they turned to her. Ianto moved Jack's hand out of the way, so he could put a hand on Mel's cheek whilst still allowing Jack to hold the other. Again his placed his forehead on hers, looking into her eyes when in fact he wanted to pull away. Jack rubbed his thumb over her cheek, and placed his other onto Yan's shoulder and squeezed it in reassurance.

They stayed like that for about a minute – the longest in their lives! Ianto grimaced and pulled away from her, as if burnt. Jack was torn between who to comfort first, and without thinking went to Ianto. She sat bolt upright in bed, gasped, closed her eyes and jumped out and over to Ianto. Jack had him on his lap, next to the bed where he had fallen. "Oh my God, Ianto! Yan honey, are you ok?" she asked in a frantic voice.

"What the hell did you do to him?" Jack snapped, making sure that he kept Ianto away from her. He didn't quiet trust her, after the whole eyes glowing red thing she had done – sure he had seen some weird things in his time, but never anything like that! She turned and frown at him, a look of total confusion on her face. She was still white, and if he didn't think it was possible she actually managed to go even paler.

Ianto, are you there? Speak to me please! thought Mel. She needed to hear him speak, mentally if not verbally. So she continued to contact him mentally. Ianto, come on! You're scaring me now! Wake up for me! Please be ok! Oh please, oh please, oh please!

She could have cried with joy when his eyes fluttered, and he called her name quietly. He frowned as he woke up and immediately sighed with relief when he spotted Mel who looked alright once more. He suddenly realised that she was looking at him oddly and that he was sitting in Jack's lap. "Oh, Ianto I'm sooo sorry! I never meant for you to get hurt. I have to leave so they don't hurt you or anyone else. They're coming for me, which means you'll try and save me which means you'll get hurt. So I'm going!" she sobbed.

As Jack helped Ianto to stand up, she threw on her clothes and ran from the room. He heard her go up the ladder, then a soft click as she left his office. He was pretty sure that she would leave the Hub as well, but he had to make sure that Ianto was alright before he went off after her. "Are you alright Yan? What happened to the two of you?" he asked concerned.

"I have no idea what happened to her Jack! Though I do know what happened to me. She pushed me out of her mind! She's never done that to me before; I've always been welcome in her mind as she is in mine! It's strange... She's been here for nearly a day, and we haven't had a chat or gone out anywhere. And she's edgier than normal, and her eyes aren't sparkling the way they normally do. It's very odd!" He murmured with a concerned frown.

He needed Jack's help to dress as his muscles were rather sore from being pushed half way across the small room. Jack then dressed himself, and pecked Ianto's cheek with a quick kiss. He helped the younger man up the ladder and followed him, watching fascinated the way Ianto's suit clung to his arse. Ianto walked out of the office and tried to find Mel, but as Jack predicted she wasn't anywhere in the Hub. Jack had lingered in his office to pick up his guns and jacket before going over to Tosh's old desk.

He noticed that Myfanawy was being particularly vocal, as if she was making up for lost time, then he suddenly realised that she had been rather subdued ever since Mel's arrival. As his foot hit the last step, he became the boss of Torchwood Three and began to bark orders. "Gwen, I want you to keep a close eye on Mel. I want to know exactly what she's doing, where she is, and who she's with. I want constant surveillance, even if she's visiting the ladies when I ask I want to know. Got that Gwen?"

"That's fine Jack! I'll get right on it." She quickly ran to her workstation, cupping her coffee cup. She set it down, quickly began typing on her keyboard and soon had CCTV footage up that showed Mel walking. She frowned as she asked, "When did she get changed?" Ianto came over and studied the live feed. It did show that she was in fact wearing different clothes. She wore a pair of silver flip-flops, a pair of knee-length jeans, and aqua top that had an empire line that showed off her cleavage and breasts to perfection and was very flattering. Jack looked over Ianto's shoulder so he knew what she looked like now, but was also frowning as he knew that she had put on the clothes that she had had on yeatserday.

However, he turned and continued to give orders. "Martha, I want you to get the medical bay ready. I think that we may be needing it in the near future. Oh, and get one of your shoulder bags ready. And I don't mean basic supplies, so pack it with everything that you'll need and a few that you don't need, just in case. We might be needing that too! OK?"

"Fine, I'll get on it now!" She and Gwen had been sitting on the couch with Gwen, drinking coffee and gossiping. Upon Jack's orders to Gwen, she had got to her feet and wondered to the medical bay awaiting her own set of orders. She was by now already getting things together that they would need. Jack nodded at the activity, and began to walk out of the cog door. Ianto preceded him out of the door, and Jack only stopped long enough to say, "Remember Gwen, keep me up to date. Oh and both of you, keep your comms on and stay inside the Hub until we get back!"
