A/N Sorry it took a while to update and please review! :)

Ianto continued making the coffee ignoring Jack, who was standing behind him. He waited for Jack to speak, as he stirred in the sugar and bent to get the milk from the fridge. He opened up the lid and poured the liquid into the cup stirring again, watching the colour change until it was perfect. He turned and handed Jack his, picked his own cup up and started to walk away.

"Yan," Jack caught the Teaboys arm turning him round so that he could see into his eyes. His hand continued to slide until it grasped Ianto's wrist. He didn't speak, as he led the Teaboy up to his office. Ianto was the only one he could trust.

"Finally, I thought you were just going to leer at me all day." Ianto mumbled as he climbed the steps. Jack let go of him once they were inside and went to sit down leaving Yan to close the door.

"John raped Owen Ianto and now I'm going to kill him, but Owen blames me and I don't know what to do. Yan help me." Jack blurted out at full speed, only considering his bluntness afterwards. To Ianto's credit his eyes only widened slightly, as the information bombarded him. It took him a few seconds before he could speak.

"What do you need me to do?" He said with a calm authority, giving the impression Jack could ask for anything and consider it already done. Jack thought about it, not really knowing the answer, so Ianto just continued. "I'll watch Owen, I had begun to already, he's changed, he's like John you can see it in his eyes." He paused for a negligible time, but Jack noticed the hesitation. "If you need me to help with John I will." Jack nodded. Abruptly, he decided he didn't like the gap his desk imposed between him and Ianto if felt wrong. So he got up and came to sit in front of him taking his hand in his.

"Thank you." He smiled, feeling as though a weight had lifted from him.

"Thanks Jack." Ianto mumbled back, blushing under the intensity of Jacks gaze. The Captain raised an eyebrow, clearly confused. "For trusting me." 'For a change' he added silently. Jack just grinned, going back to drink his coffee.

"Be careful Ianto." He whispered serious again before taking another sip.

"You too Jack." Ianto said as got up, picking up his coffee and cradlign it to him. Before he left, Jack gave Ianto a look which said it all, making Ianto's cheeks redden again. Jack sat down wondering what he was going to do next, and whether telling Ianto was the right thing to have done. He resolved that things could hardly get worse. He was wrong.

Owen sat, contemplating things they weren't nice things so he didn't contemplate them for long. Memories kept coming back to him, and he couldn't make them stop. He could remember every detail of it and he had to swallow back bile. It was Jack's fault, every time he tried to blame John; he remembered the pain in John's eyes. Jack had caused that pain and now John had passed it to him. He felt really dirty still, like he was disgusting and he didn't feel like himself. He was different.

Tosh stirred lightly beside him and he brushed the hair from her face. She looked beautiful when she was asleep the picture of innocence. They had gone out for dinner last night, and it had been easy and relaxed. Despite everything something good had come from this nightmare. He couldn't just be with random people any more, he couldn't use people like he had done ever since his fiancée died. Now it was different. John had made him see how important certain things were; since he'd threatened to use Tosh Owen had known. He'd included Gwen's name in the threat as well, but that isn't what made Owen do it, it was his fear for Tosh's well being. He loved Tosh and now here he was lying next to her, revelling in her early splendour. They hadn't done anything God knows he was not ready for that. He had just gone home with her, and laid next to her comforting her like he should have been doing for years. It was sweet and pure and they were the two things he needed right now.

He was still considering what he was going to do to Jack, how he was going to dissipate his anger, but then she woke up and he rid himself of those kind of thoughts.

"Morning." He grinned at her stroking her face, which had begun to glow as soon as she saw him.

"Morning." She beamed back, loving the feel of his body next to hers. She didn't care what Ianto, Jack and Gwen thought about Owen. She knew they thought he had changed, but to her this change was good, he loved her and that's what she had always wanted. They had talked a little about the past week but Owen didn't want to say much and she respected him too much to pester. She expected he would tell her one day.

They dressed simultaneously. The synchronisation felt right and they both couldn't keep from smiling. Owen's dark thoughts were all but erased when Tosh was in the room, maybe John needed someone he loved to rid him of his need for vengeance. It wasn't totally gone though, it just didn't seem very important. Tosh drove them to the hub. Owen paused before getting out of the car, putting his hand on Tosh's.

"Tosh." He looked at her trying to convey everything through his eyes alone, he wasn't good at displaying his feelings. She smiled.

"I know Owen." She nodded. They both go out of the car and she locked it, as he came to stand beside her and take her hand. They walked through the cog door together, pretending they couldn't see the looks Ianto and Gwen gave them. They both nodded at the others, before going to their separate work stations. Owen was going to hand his notice in, but last night Tosh talked him out of it, telling him Torchwood still needed him, he wondered if Jack would agree? It was all very normmal

Suddenly, everybody including Jack jumped as an alert signal blared around the Hub. Jack ran out of his office freezing at the top of the steps in shock.

"Hello Jack, pleased to see me?" John asked. He was holding Ianto firmly a gun pressed to his head. Nobody made a sound.
