"No!" Jack screamed as he leant in to kiss Ianto once more, more determined than ever to bring Ianto back. Almost as instantly as their lips touched for the second time, 3 things happened at once: The whole TARDIS dimmed and hummed as the pair were enveloped in a gold light and a connection formed between them. Jack felt energy pour out of him in a way he never felt before, the sensation was burning his chest from the inside but he couldn't have pulled back, despite his efforts. Meanwhile, the Doctor, in his room, stood up in a flash before crumpling back to a heap on his bed as nausea and queasiness overtook him.
Frantically flailing his arms, Jack fell back onto the hard floor as the connection broke between him and Ianto.... only the floor wasn't hard, it was as if the TARDIS expected the fall and cushioned it for him. Looking up in awe at Ianto jack noticed all of a sudden that despite being deadly still, Ianto was glowing. In fact, he was glowing brighter and brighter until it almost hurt Jack to look directly at him. As soon as it started the light dimmed and Ianto's limbs began to thrash wildly and uncontrollably. Despite the erratic movements however, Ianto didn't once even seem close to falling from the small bed he was laid down on. Before Jack could reach Ianto to try to calm him, the man was completely still once more, only still glowing. Jack reached his hand to his temple, shaking his head and rubbing his eyes, convinced what he witnessed had to have been just a dream... It just didn't make sense and he couldn't understand what had happened. It was then he noticed by looking at his hand that he was glowing somewhat himself.
"Noo..." He half whispered to himself as he jumped up towards his Ianto. "No, no, no!"
With one final kiss to his lover's lips he felt the energy go back in him and he was not glowing once more, he couldn't fail to notice Ianto was not longer luminous either. However, unbeknownst to Jack, Ianto also felt energy pour into him. He felt the energy fill his mind which was going haywire... so many thoughts and feelings flooding through him 'Where am I, what's happening?' Soon, the energy reached to his chest and pored outwards to his limbs before filling every finger and toe. With an all too familiar gasp of air that Jack recognised immediately, Ianto Jones shot bold upright.....He was alive.

"What is going on?" wondered the Doctor. Almost as suddenly as he was overcome with sickness it had abruptly disappeared. He quickly moved towards the one man who had made him feel sick in such a way before, Jack harkness.
_-*-_-*-_-*-_-*-_-*-_-*-_-*-_-*-_-*-_-*-_
"Ianto? Ianto, are you with me?" Were the first words Ianto Jones heard as he regained consciousness.
"Sir.... Jack?" He muttered almost inaudibly, just loud enough for jack to hear. And those two words filled Jack with such happiness it was as if the five days of The 456's terror hadn't happened, those two words filled him with more joy than he'd ever felt before. In fact, after hearing those two words leave Ianto's mouth he could quite honestly say he'd be happy if, as long as they were said with the same, soft, beautiful welsh vowels; they were the only two words he ever heard again.
"Ianto...." Jack sighed as he caressed the man's cheek, "you're alive." He couldn't help but smile, despite realising his look of joy would probably be confusing to the disorientated and recently deceased Ianto.
"Well it would appear so, Jack, although to be honest that look on your face is kind of scaring the life out of me...."
"-don't!" jack interrupted, "Don't even joke about it... I thought I lost you," he sobbed, not realising he had even started to cry.
"Nah, you won't lose me that easily," Ianto tried to soothe jack, although he was feeling pretty shaken up himself. Silent tears streamed down his face as the two men locked eyes in a way to reassure themselves that they were both still there.
Before he fully knew what was happening Jack's lips were on Ianto's and he kissed back with all the passion he could muster as well as the love he had recently confessed.
The couple's reunion was interrupted by the entrance of the ill-looking time lord.
"Doctor, we haven't properly met, I'm Ianto Jones." Ianto introduced himself, after breaking the kiss. He was as formal as ever.
_-*-_-*-_-*-_-*-_-*-_-*-_-*-_-*-_-*-_-*-_
After many extensive tests and evaluations the Doctor deemed Ianto alive and well. The Doctor himself wasn't feeling quite so well though at the thought of the news he was about to break.
"Ianto," he addressed the young man, "I have to tell you..."
"I'm like Jack..... Immortal I mean." Interrupted the Welshman, knowing what was coming.
"Uh, yes. How did you know?" Queried the time lord, who, to be quite honest, was just glad he didn't have to reveal the news himself.
"She told me. The TARDIS I mean, she told me," answered Ianto hurriedly. "When jack kissed me she sensed the exchange of her vortex energy from Jack into me.... I guess she wanted to help things along and exchanged a little too much energy making me Jack's equal..." Ianto explained clearly and calmly, noticing the heart broken look on Jack's face.
"Ianto," Jack began, "I never wanted this to happen, I would never wish for you do be like me, I'm s-"
"No!" Ianto interrupted, "Don't even say it. My worst fear was leaving you Jack, and if this is what it takes to be with you forever then I'm happy about it, after all...."Ianto paused, not sure whether to continue in the presence of the Doctor. He did. "I love you, cariad."
"I love you too," replied jack, "I should have said so earlier but i-"
"Sh!" Scolded Ianto before Leaning in and kissing Jack tenderly.
Silently the doctor left the reunited couple, he thought he'd make himself useful and break the news to Gwen and Rhys who the TARDIS had shown a bedroom to earlier that night. He also wanted a work with the TARDIS, to make sure she never did such a thing again.
