A bit of Ianto and Bella now. This is set after Cyberwomen.

It had been 5 days since the cyberwomen incident. Bella tried not to refer to her as Lisa, because it wasn't Lisa. Not really. Bella knew that Lisa had died at Canary Wharf, A year ago. Bella's heart went out to Ianto though. She had worked closely with both if them. Lisa was fun to be around. While she helped Lisa with some of the research. Torchwood One had employed her as an IT analyst. They did find her hacking government files using facial recognition to find her dad. Once they realised who she was they couldn't really let her go could they.

Bella was digging through some files one day, when she came across information on her dad, Turned out he worked for Torchwood 3 based in Cardiff. She had asked Ianto and Lisa about him. But they didn't know much. He was the leader or a small Torchwood team, he flirted with anything and was good looking. Everything else was a mystery.

Bella had they day off thanks to Jack. He felt she also needed some time to get over what had happened. She was on her way to see Ianto. To check on him really. He probably wasn't taking Lisa's second death very well, she knew what he was like.

She walked into his building and made her way upstairs to the third floor. She knocked on Ianto's door. But there was no answer.

"Come on Ianto. I know you're in there." Bella shouted. Hammering on the door. "Let me in."

The door opened. "Jesus Christ Bella. No need to try and break my door down. There stood Ianto, loose pyjama pants and a white t-shirt. Unshaven and hair ruffled.

"You look bloody awful mate." Bella told him.

"Thanks, nice to see you to." Ianto said with his usual sarcasm. He stepped aside to let her in.

"When was the last time you slept?" Bella asked noticing the dark circles under his eyes. Ianto just shrugged, "Christ Ianto!"

"What? Not as if I've got anywhere to go right now." Ianto said moving to the sofa. Bella stood in front of him.

"No, but you could really do with some." Bella glared at him.

"What are you doing her Bella? Did Jack said you?" Ianto sighed, not really having the will to see anyone at the moment.

"No, dad didn't send me. I wanted to see how you are doing. You are my friend still you know." Bella said.

"How can you still want to be friends with me? After what I did. God you were on that bloody conversion unit." Ianto said, holding his head in his hands. Bella knelt down and pulled his hands away.

"You were only trying to save Lisa. You weren't to know what would happen." Bella said softly. She held Ianto's hands tightly in hers.

"When I walked in and found you strapped to that table, I swear my heart stopped. It was like finding you back in London. You looked so scared. Both times. I'm so sorry Bella. How can you bare to look at me?" Ianto confessed. He had started crying now.

Bella couldn't stand seeing her best friend like this. She pulled him forward a bit more and hugged him.

"You Ianto Jones are one of the most selfless men I have ever met." Bella told him, "If you and my dad didn't have this strange routine flirting thing that you do. I've might have fancied you."

Ianto laughed and pulled away slightly, smiling at her.

"Now come one, take a shower and get dressed. I'm taking you out for lunch." Bella said letting him go.

Ianto rose to his feet, "So bossy." He muttered as he walked into his bathroom.

"Oi, heard that." Bella shouted after him. As she heard the water running, she knew that after time they would be fine.
