Getting molested by a squid looking alien with tentacles was not Owen Harper's idea of a wet dream. Therefore when at 6 am he was woken up by the incessant ringing of his cell phone, he was rather relieved. "Hello."
"Owen! Get your ass over here, Ianto's having a seizure!" yelled Jack frantically at him.
"I'm on my way." Owen responded while jumping out of his bed and grabbing his discarded jeans from the floor. Hanging up, he ran for the door while pulling on his shirt and his shoes.
Jack watched over Ianto with concern. He had laid him down on the examination table and was waiting for the second seizure that had hit him to pass. Two seizures in ten minutes was definitely not a good thing. Even more worrying was the fact that in between the seizures Ianto had not regained consciousness.
It took Owen a record ten minutes to make it to the hub. Under normal circumstances it was more than a half hour commute. "Jack!" He yelled when he entered the hub.
"In here!" Jack called out from the med bay.
"When did it start? How many has he had?"
"He's had two so far, started about twenty minutes ago. He won't wake up, Owen!"
"Alright Jack; let me take care of him now. I called Tosh on the way here. She's going to get started on going over the files from Torchwood Two." Owen began to hook Ianto up to different machines. Some to measure vital signs others running scans simultaneously. He was never happier to have alien tech when it came to dealing with a real patient. The type of things he could accomplish in a few minutes here at Torchwood would have taken hours in a regular hospital.
Jack stood by silently as Owen went about his work. He really didn't want to be in the way but he would do anything to at least hold Ianto's hand.
"If I let you sit with him will you stop pouting like I a five year old whose teddy bear has been stolen?"
Moving back close to Ianto, he held his hand. "Thank you Owen, for everything."
"Just doing my job, Jack." Owen answered while looking at his printouts. "We can't loose our tea boy, who's going to make me coffee and clean up after me?"
"I luv you too Ow'n" they both turned to look at Ianto who was attempting to get up. Holding him down by the shoulders Jack held him in place.
"None of that now, you need to rest."
"Good morning. Ianto how are you feeling?" Tosh asked as she entered the room. Ianto responded with a soft smile and nuzzled into Jacks hand that was closest. "I brought you some clothes I picked up last night. Is everything alright?" She asked, directing her question to Owen.
"It's like I feared I'm afraid. I'm going to get him started on a diazepam drip, that should stop the seizures for now, but I don't really think that will help for long. The strain is just too much for his brain."
"Just do what you can Owen."
