"Jack, I've found them. They're still in Cardiff: Down at the harbour" Gwen called out.

"Guess we better go see what they're doing here then", he grabbed his great coat and walked towards the door with Gwen close behind.

"Ianto, watch the computers for us; tell us if anything changes" Jack shouted back into the hub before the cog door slid shut behind him.

They were both sitting in the car; it wasn't a long journey, but Ianto had just told them that they had begun to move, further away from the hub. Gwen was trying to think of something to say to Jack, about that morning, she wasn't sure she should do it now; it might end up distracting her from what they should be doing but she knew that she needed to soon. Jack glanced at her; and she realised that she was staring at him. Feeling her face reddening, she quickly turned her head to look out the window, her brown hair rippling as she did so.

Jack was also trying to think; he could think of nothing to say. He wanted to tell her how he felt, but after that morning he didn't think that it was the best way to go. He tried to think of all the bad points about her, to stop himself wishing they were together, but he couldn't. To him, Gwen was perfect. Eventually, she broke the silence.

"So, this morning…" she couldn't bear to hold it in any longer. She had felt bad enough earlier when she'd lied to Jack, and now she couldn't understand why she had done it: looking at him, she knew she must be mad not to tell him the truth, but at the same time she knew what would happen if she did. It would mean that she had faced something which she should never admit. If he hadn't gone away, maybe things would have been different, but somehow she didn't think they would be.

"I thought you had already said what you wanted to?" said Jack, with a slight bitterness seeping into his voice.

"Jack, I lied. This morning. That kiss. It was so much more than just a thing-" but she was cut off. Ianto had radioed in; "You're almost there, guys. They are about 50 metres off, but you're going to have to walk. The track stops there".

He stopped the SUV, glancing at Gwen for a second before climbing out. She didn't know what to think; when would she get another chance to try and explain everything to Jack? She had been trying for so long, and had never managed to build up the confidence, until then and now the chance had gone. She sighed and remembered what she was supposed to be doing and ran after him.

The evening was setting in; casting long shadows out across the bay. The sun bathed everything in a copper-light; giving the feeling of warmth, despite the cold that was slowly creeping in.

"Jack, where are they?" Gwen whispered to Jack, not wanting to make too much noise.

"I told you earlier, you can't always see them. Can't you feel that they're here though? The cold, it's them causing it. They naturally take away the life out of the things they are around." As he finished speaking, they saw a light, just beside them getting brighter and brighter. "That's them", and as they watched the light began to take shape. Gwen could just make out two forms; they must have been double her height at least, and she could just see that they had something coming from their shoulders; wings? She couldn't quite see them clearly enough to make out what it was. Then they spoke. Their voices were like silk and they spoke as if they were singing, their voices chiming in the cool evening air.

"Jack and Gwen," they began, "we are here because we are the only two left. The rest of us disappeared. We have nowhere to go and we can't get back"

They had both fully formed now, and Gwen saw that they did have wings; pale ivory rippling in the soft wind coming in from the bay. They had beautiful faces, but they were both filled with sadness and loss, and they looked as if they were ages old but at the same time as if they were only very young; innocence still playing across their soft features.

"We can help you, but you can't stay here. We will find you a way to get back." Jack replied, his voice strong as he gazed up at them.

"But we have nowhere to go", it seemed to Gwen that they spoke in unison but she had not seen their lips move once. "You can't send us back, Captain Jack Harkness", and this time their voices did not ring, they had become harsh and as they did so the air became colder. "You have no power over us, you are weak and we are strong. We can see the whole of time, and we know what is going to happen to you. We came here because we had to, but now we realise that it's a blessing. This planet is weak, and it will fall. There's nothing you can do about it. Goodbye, Jack Harkness and Gwen Cooper", and their voices faded away into the sunset just as the air began to warm up.

"We need to get back to the Hub, now", he called to Gwen who now looked worried, but as soon as she looked at him, he saw the trust come back into her face. She already knew that they would be fine, but he wanted to reassure her anyway; "just false predictions", he said to her, resting his hands on her shoulders, "the future always changes".

"But how did they know our names, Jack?" the panic had come back into her green eyes and she gazed up at him.

"They can read minds", he was still bitter from what she had said to him earlier, and he had too much on his mind to think of a different way to put it. "They can also predict what will happen" he added, but as he looked at her, he realised he should have thought about what he was going to say. Her green eyes didn't focus on him when she looked at him, and he knew the expression that had come onto her face; he knew that she was worried, but she was determined not to show him. "Like I just said, the future always changes. Nothing is written in stone. I won't let you down again".

Gwen was looking up into his soft blue eyes, which were shining down at her. His hands still resting on her shoulders and they seemed to have moved closer to each other without even realising it. They stood for a minute, looking into the others eyes. Gwen was desperately thinking of something to say; they still hadn't finished their conversation about that morning, but now didn't really seem the right time: "We should go, Jack" she said to him, ignoring the fact that she would much rather stay there for the rest of the day.

"Yeah, I guess we should; the world needs saving and all that": as he said that, he flashed Gwen one of his smiles, and she felt her heart melting and her heart race. He turned, and began walking back to the SUV, unintentionally giving her a second to remember herself so she could follow him.
