Being Torchwood.

Ianto sat comfortably in the hotel room in front of the small desk going over the copies Gwen and Owen had printed out. He highlighted the important parts as he had all the copies and folders in order by date. He bit down on the highlighter as he concentrated on his task on finding a connection. Jack sat at the edge of the bed throwing hotel unshelled peanuts into the air and catching them in his mouth, his stack of papers untouched.

"Jack" Ianto called out as Jack missed his peanut and it landed somewhere on the floor. Jack gave him a look as Ianto tilted his head to the stack of papers on the bed.

"I got hungry. Paperwork isn't my thing." Jack grinned as he ate another peanut.

"Kicking in the door with guns raised is more your thing."

"Now you are getting it." Jack laughed as he was ready for any word on Tosh or Owen on Gwen's date with the sergeant. He stretched his back as he took a look at Ianto who felt more comfortable in the suit he bought before coming back to the hotel room. "I get a feeling though you are teasing me with that red shirt." Jack stood up as he walked towards the desk where Ianto was working. He slipped his braces off as he walked towards the Welshman.

"I look good in red that is all." Ianto replied as he grinned and frowned at a piece of paper. He secretly did buy it because it was Jack's favourite colour. "These reports are missing some basic information. Not even the name of the people that have complained or any report if the problem was solved " Ianto placed the paper down and rubbed his eyes. It was frustrating for him to work with sloppy work like this.

"How are you Ianto?" Jack asked as he sat across from Ianto and took a good look at him. He looked so tense. Ianto nodded as he quickly answered he was fine. "Ianto…" Jack crossed his arms as he leaned back in the chair. He was not taking that as an answer.

"Tired. I just want to know what happened." Ianto whispered as he closed his eyes. Something was happening inside him. Something was happening. Ianto thought as he did feel a change. Maybe it was the weather. Or he was probably home sick. Cardiff was very different from Bristol. At least there weren't vampires attacking you, Ianto thought as he sniffed the air. The smells in the hotel room were so strong. He took in a deep breath and all he could smell other then the new suit was Jack. His pheromones were so strong now. Was he in heat? Heat? Why were all these thoughts coming to him like this? Who thinks like this? Ianto rubbed his neck as he looked at Jack as he was still looking at him with concern. "Sore. Itches too."

"I can fix that." Jack grinned as Ianto watched Jack walk around the desk and stood behind Ianto and slowly massaged his shoulders. Ianto moaned as the shoulder strap was itching his skin. Jack leaned forward as his arms went around Ianto and started to unbutton his suit jacket. Ianto leaned back as he rested his head on Jack's chest as Jack unbuttoned his jacket. "Did Owen said when I can get that shoulder strap off of you? Though it might make it fun having one arm restrained like this.. "

"... um... We should really be paying attention to these reports before we..." Ianto moaned as Jack slipped his hand inside Ianto's many layers of clothing and started to massage his chest. Jack held him tight as he bit down lightly on Ianto's ear.

"You smell so good Jones, Ianto Jones." Jack whispered as he nibbled on Ianto's ear.

"Sir..." Ianto whispered as one of Jack's hands started to move down his stomach and tugged on his trouser belt.

"The kids seem to be alright. Owen and Tosh are looking over Gwen's date. That gives us some time to play." Jack placed his hand on Ianto's groin and gave it a gentle squeeze. Jack was waiting for Ianto to blush and moan out his name like he always did but what he heard instead was a cry of pain. Ianto pushed Jack's hand away as he stood up. "Ianto?" Jack was worried now. Ianto was pacing as he rubbed his inner thigh.

"Jack..." Ianto sighed as he turned around and crossed his arms, hugging himself. The events were catching up with him as Ianto tried to comfort himself. He had grappled with all these things that had happened to him as he had his back turned to Jack. His eyes were tearing up as he hugged himself tighter. Jack stood up and turned Ianto around. His shirt was open as Jack placed his hands on Ianto's chest and ran his fingers through his chest hair.

"Let it out Ianto." Jack wrapped his arms around Ianto as he held him and offered all the comfort Ianto needed.

"I should be used to this. Always with this job." He held on to Jack as he cried into Jack's shoulder. "I was... scared."

"It is alright to be scared. Fear gives us a different kind of power. A different kind of energy. What happened when you were in the SUV?" Jack asked as it finally seemed the right time to ask.

Ianto held onto Jack tighter as he spoke. "They... they held me down. Swung the door at me, teasing me that it was going to shut and... break my neck. One of them held me with his foot on my... he pressed really hard and... I am sorry." Ianto sobbed as Jack held him as tight as he could without hurting Ianto more. He had his answer on why his groin hurt when touched.

"Bastards. I swear Ianto, I am not letting anything else hurt you again. I swear."

"I should have been able to handle them. I am trained. I've helped you take down weevils but.... they were stronger than anything I know. I felt so weak..." Ianto was starting to calm down as he just didn't understand how someone could be so strong and so... He felt Jack let go of him and face him.

"Don't ever say that. You are not weak. Never say that." Jack leaned in and gave Ianto a passionate kiss. Jack knew even if he had to do this alone, without the team knowing or Torchwood backing him up, he would hunt all those that attacked Ianto.


"While she is having all the fun I am stuck here. No offense Tosh but I'd rather be inside eating a nice hot meal then take out junk here." The colourful Owen complained as he sat in the driver's seat as he threw the empty bag onto the passenger seat. Tosh sighed as her computer monitors were on and tracking Gwen's position in the back seat if the SUV.

"You could have asked to take Gwen's spot. Unless you wanted to join Jack." She snapped back as she giggled. Owen gave her a look through the rear mirror and snorted a bit.

"Oh you two would love that. Sorry Tosh, that's not my fantasy. I am one guy Jack will not have. Maybe the only person he hasn't had."

"Are you saying that me and Jack have..." Tosh had stopped viewing her monitors and leaned forward to see Owen in the driver seat.

"Well?"

"You are supposed to be monitoring their conversations!"

"She's going on and on about how life was like before... but really, you and Jack?" Owen turned to see Tosh as he wanted to know.

"That is none of your business. Just monitor them."

"Touchy Toshy...Come on, I would understand if you and Jack were drunk" Owen joked but Tosh leaned back into the seat and was silent. "Tosh?"

Only Jack would sleep with Tosh if he was drunk and wasted. Tosh thought as she was hurt. She wasn't that bad looking was she? Why can't anyone see how special she is. Why can't Owen? "Just monitor their conversation." Tosh whispered as Owen rolled his eyes. He never saw the tears that ran down her cheek from the harsh comment Owen had said.


"This place is really nice. I should have worn a dress." Gwen leaned a bit forward to Herrick who was sitting across from her at the table. She felt uncomfortable wearing black tight jeans and a blue blouse. Everyone else was formal while she looked like she was going to hit a club. Herrick sipped his glass of wine and smiled.

"It is just business talk right? Besides, you look fantastic. Good enough to eat... at this resturant." Herrick smiled at Gwen who only blushed. Herrick took a deep breath and sighed. It was time for his vampire charm to work on her. "The crew you hang out with, you are a bit new to it aren't you? I see how they treat you."

"I don't understand... We all get along great."

"They underestimate you. I can see it. You are the new member there. They don't really trust your judgement but you could do so much better then a team that really doesn't exist. You talents are being wasted there. You think of everything you see, some people see it too."

"I like where I am at right now. Could we focus on what's going on around this town?" Gwen smiled at the waiter who refilled their wine. She did not denie it though, she liked hearing the things Herrick had to say about her. She felt a bit more comfortable.

"Of course. Sorry for being nosey." Herrick tilted his head as he took a sip of his wine again. "I have been with the police for many years and I have seen many things in these times but I assure you this city is pretty calm. We get looters. We have accidents and some murders but they are all solved. Only mystery we really have here is wildlife. Being close to the woods, we have some murders done by the wildlife. But all our cases get solved. 90% if them I believe."

"Some of that wildlife isn't human size. "

"Well your team does deal with this. Sure it didn't follow you here?" Herrick smiled as it seemed to make Gwen laugh a bit. "But if there is something, we will sooner or later deal with it. Nothing gets passed us."

"I cannot tell you what brought us here. But we are here and if there is anything anyone is hiding, we will find out."

"Anyone? You mean you will find out. That is why you agreed to this dinner correct? Trying to see what I know, get into my good side and... like I said, your talents are being wasted at this Torchwood" Herrick smiled as the house band started to play. "Well being the sneaky detective you are you owe me a dance." Herrick stood up and extended his hand to Gwen.


"SHIT!" Owen yelled as Tosh jumped.

"What?! What did you hear??? Is Gwen alright?" Tosh was worried, what would get Owen to react that way.

"She agreed! She agreed to dance with the old timer..." Owen sighed as listening to the conversation started to get juicy. "Oi!" Owen rubbed his head as Tosh had reached over and had slapped him on the head.
