The JB Story Chapter 2
Suddenly, Jack and Ianto where outside again.
"The taste of blood could have something to do with the fact you've bitten your lip, Jack! I mean, get with the programme."
Jack was fiddling with his wrist strap. "Why won't the darn thing work?"
Ianto sighed. "Looks like we'll have to use the back entrance." He turned and headed toward the tourist office and Jack chased after him.
"I thought you'd never ask!"
"Get knotted, Jack." Ianto was yelling over his shoulder.
Jack decided that Ianto was no fun, as they ran towards the Plass.
Inside the Hub, they found chaos - computers were beeping. Tosh was looking harassed. Gwen was panicking and Owen was nowhere to be seen. Myfanwy was soaring overhead, screeching. She was still waiting for her chocolate fix.
"What have we got, Tosh."
"It started when I was translating the alien device."
"And Owen?"
"He just vanished when the alarms went off and we can't reach him….and why did you both go back outside again?"
"We didn't," Ianto chinned in.
"So we have spatial disturbance to contend with, too." Jack assessed.
Ianto rolled his eyes. "I should have caught that train."Jack smiled.
"You had something to do with that, didn't you?""I might have. Anyway…."
"You bastard!"
"Oi, less of the swearing." Gwen exclaimed.
Ianto sincerely wished that she would disappear, and then she did!
"Thank fuck," he muttered under his breath, heading for his workstation.
Momentarily distracted, Jack scowled. "So, maybe you're pissed off about the train, Yan, but there's no need for that."
Ianto quirked an eyebrow. "Sorry, Jack, but you have to admit isn't it a lot easier to come up with a plan of action without her clucking in your ear"
Jack chuckled and nodded. "So, we have a vanished Gwen….Owen gone."
Ianto smirked. "Maybe we should look at the device, sir."
"Good plan. Tosh?"
Tosh raised the device and Jack instantly recognised it from the Boeshane Peninsular.
"There's no place like home," Jack remarked.
"For you, maybe," commented Ianto, walking over to Tosh. "So, what is it, Jack?"
A smile curled the corners of Jack's mouth. "Dare I tell you?" He chuckled again.
"It's a doobury."
Tosh and Ianto fixed him with wide eyed expressions.
"A what?"
"A doobury." Jack repeated.
Ianto rolled his eyes. "You don't know what it is, do you?"
Jack looked slightly put out. "Er, no."
"Just great! You're supposed to know everything!" Ianto yelled over the alarms.
No! Actually, I think you'll find that's you!"
Ianto huffed out a sigh thinking that Jack really was a pain in the backside. He started rubbing at the seat of his pants.
Jack was quick to notice. "Yeah, about that appointment we have with the back entrance. You - I hate to say this, but I think it's gotta wait until we get Gwen and Owen back."
Tosh turned scarlet, attempting to shut her ewars and staring very fixedly at the device.
Ianto scowled. "Sometimes, Jack, I do wish you'd lose that filthy mind and focus on the damn problem!"
Jack raised his eyebrows. "Just because I don't know what it is, it doesn't mean I don't know what it does."
"Well?" Tosh and Ianto raised their eyebrows.
"It grants wishes like a mechanical genie."
