Well ladies and gentlemen, we have a chapter! I am fairly happy with this one, although I may have to bump up age limit for this... Oh you dirty minded people get your mind out of the gutter this is not that sort of fic! No explicit content! (ish) Oh I guess you will have to see what I mean.
She stood in the console room of the TARDIS, leaning against the rail. Travelling alone was safer. But she needed some fun. For a start, she really really wanted to use the dartboard in board the TARDIS. But who would want to see her? She needed someone who would recognise her, no matter what she looked like. Sure, everyone had seen her since the new regeneration. But she needed someone who would want to get to know her as the new doctor, rather than the old face. She remembered how long it took for Rose to adjust to the change. The idea of seeing Sarah crossed her mind, but she quickly demolished it. Now she was, well, not a man, things would be even stranger with Sarah, and besides she had a whole life to lead on Bannerman Road, saving the universe in her little attic. She thought hard, standing still long enough to give her cramp before finally coming up with the perfect person. She ran towards the console and punched in the co-ordinates.
"Ianto, make us a cup of coffee would you?" yelled Gwen from her desk. Ianto was part of the team yes, but out of the three of them he still made the best coffee. Also she had been Weevil hunting again and was knackered. Her phone chirped and she took it out of her pocket to see a text from Reece. Smiling she scanned through it before grabbing her coat. "Actually scratch that I'm off home!" she called whilst sprinting out of the exit.
"No guesses who texted her then..." said Jack coming out of his office. He had been watching her with a smirk on his face. He smiled gently. She was one of the only people he had known who had managed to maintain a normal life. Reece had known about Torchwood for a while now, and en if he did not like it, he accepted that it was what Gwen does. And he was there for her when they lost Tosh and Owen...
He turned his thoughts away from them. It was not long after them when the Doctor had appeared. She had stopped a Weevil from sneaking up on Gwen and ripping her throat out. She had said nothing, just nodded and walked away, leaving Jack and Gwen in shock before they had even got to say a word. Jack caught her aged eyes, and he knew that this Doctor was old. That she had seen many things since she had regenerated. So when the Daleks moved the earth and he had seen the Doctor again, he knew that she had no idea what was going to happen, nor what was ahead, just like the rest of them. Jack hated being out of sync with the Doctor, but if she had not come then, he would have lost Gwen, and his team would have been reduced to two. Not his team. His family. Because that is what they had become to him. The thought scared him as he knew that he would never be able to escape the fact that the two who he loved would eventually die, either through Torchwood or by withering with age. It pained him deeply to accept it.
Ianto watched Gwen leave and shook his head laughing. IT was nice that she had someone to go home to. He turned his head towards Jack in his office. He as staring at the spot where Gwen had left, a look in his eye he had seen before. It was the same look that appeared whenever Tosh and Owen came up. He knew how he felt. He had grown to love them and missed them dearly. They died hero's though and even now they could still save their lives. He remembered the Time Lock Tosh had set up, saving him and Gwen form the Dalek. He sighed when he saw that Jack hadn't even blinked, and the pain he felt was etched clearly on his face. Time to intervene. He strode towards the office, a simple plan forming in his mind. As he opened the door, Jack still payed no attention. Ianto realised he must not have even heard the door open. He walked behind the chair that was turned towards the glass wall, trying not to break Jacks line of sight. When he was standing behind him he snaked he arms around him and kissed the back of his neck. Jack jumped, before sighing and leaning back into Ianto as the Welshman started to rub his neck. Coffee wasn't the only thing that he was good at. Come to think of it, there were several things that he was good at, and as a few images and memories flashed through Jack he grinned and turned round to kiss him. The kiss was quickly filled with the passion both the men were still feeling after thinking of their lost friends, and it was not long before Jack had stood up to pull Ianto towards him properly. Desks were very convenient things and as he made up his mind about how to use his today he slowly started to remove Ianto's shirt. As they continued to bury the grief they shared, they barely even noticed the sound of the TARDIS above the amount of noise they were making. So Jack had a bit of a shock when someone tapped him on his shoulder, which was impossible for Ianto seeing as his hands were, well let's just say they were a bit busy at the time...
ooooh the awkwardness! Well people true to word i got lots of chapters done. well some. a nice big clump. So, updates should be fairly common for a couple of weeks. Have fun :)
