Note: I don't own anything related to Torchwood (unless you count the books I have)...Enjoy...

The morning after, Ianto was up in the tourist office when a delivery man entered.

"Got a delivery for CJH."

Ianto signed for the small package and waited until he left before doing a thorough check of the package. It seemed clean so he took it down to Jack. The undying man was still in shock of everything his brother had done last night and curious about the girl he had watched on CCTV. Especially since it seemed that Gray had no real memories since that day on Boeshane Peninsula when they were separated.

"This was dropped off for you. The only return information is a name, Ria."

Jack took the package and planted a kiss on his lover's forehead. He wanted to call Ianto his boyfriend, his partner, his everything, especially after last night but was actually hesitant. The younger man still seemed to be mourning over his dead girlfriend and Jack didn't want to do anything to push the man away. He turned his focus to the package and opened it. A small box of candy, a USB stick, and a sheet of paper fell out. Putting aside the box of his favorite 51st century candy, the two men peered down at the letter.

There's no doubt that you've watched the CCTV footage and have even tried to track me through it before and after I entered the Hub. You won't see me because I have something special. Well, special in the way that it's not of this time but from a long long way into the future.

I'm rambling. I'll answer the top 2 questions you have floating around in that giant head of yours. 1) Why-because the 21st century is when it all changes and for Torchwood 3, last night was the beginning. And 2) How-I'll show you mine if you show me yours, although mine's been tweaked and not really mine.

Again, rambling. The name's Ria and I'm a member of Torchwood just over 2 decades from now. If I were there, you'd be lecturing me about the consequences of altering time lines. I've heard it all before from you and the Doctor. But this had to be done.

You will probably want to meet me but I can't risk you sending me back. I will be sticking around Cardiff and you may see me, while on a case or not. Tosh can do all the searching she wants but my manipulator can't be tracked. One of the tweaks but not the only one.

Tell Owen not to sulk - he's still the King of the Weevils but Queens are so much better. Tell Gwen not to push Andy away. His help will be needed in the future. Tell John to stop thinking disgusting thoughts about me and remind him of his vow. Tell Tosh to speak her mind and let the guy know.

And lastly, tell Ianto how you feel. Life may be too short to hesitate. Tell him you love him and want to be more than lovers. Once you're finished, get him to fuck you into the desk until he leaves bruises on your hips from gripping too hard.

Just know that I'm here to help and am no threat to you or Torchwood. If for whatever reason you need to talk, tap Green 9-5-3-7-1 Blue into your manipulator cuff and it'll send a jolt to mine. Wait an hour and I'll be outside. I will know if you called for a valid reason or not. I'm not a little girl you can fuck with.

Ria

"What do you make of her, sir?"

"Part of what she says is true but part of me wants to wait and see what she'll do."

Jack folded up the letter and laid the USB stick on top. He stood up and faced Ianto.

"She's right when she says I want you as my partner, not just a lover. I want to take you out and show you off but first, I want you to take me hard upon my desk. Bend me over and make me scream."

"Yes, sir," Ianto replied, smiling as he undid his tie.

After their furious coupling, the immortal checked out the files on the stick. It was a complete file on Ria except for some things deleted. It explained how she permanently joined Torchwood at 18 but had helped previously on a mission when 16. It listed all the missions she partook in and that it was her 3rd mission that altered her.

'Gwen and Ria were sent to check on a device that had fallen out of the Rift. When neither answered their comms, I sent Matthew to check on them.

'Both had been rendered unconscious and after they and the device were brought back, the scans showed no change to Gwen. Ria, on the other hand, had higher than normal brain activity. The medical report is attached.

'After several days, Ria regained consciousness and explained what occurred. The item was a telepathic messaging device. Since neither Gwen nor Ria were telepathic, the device chose one to alter. It gave Ria the mental capacity to be telepathic.

'The device specifically was sent ahead by the Wrandrod class of alien. Strictly benign creatures but communication is limited to telepathy, hence the need to alter someone. They had only wished to visit the planet for educational purposes. The leader explained the abilities that Ria now had as basic telepathy, mind reading, and could implant ideas/control ones' mind with direct eye contact.'

The last entry within the file was dated April 21, 2031 entered by Ria herself.

'Jack (either present or past), I had to do this. Hopefully it goes well and know that I had my own reason for doing this. It's not just for Torchwood.

'Present Jack, tell Tad that the wrong will be righted and she should be back soon. Past Jack, you still might not trust me but keep an open mind. If it helps, the Doctor trusts me!'
