Holly sat next to an unconscious and badly injured Emily and ran a hand through the child's hair. She couldn't quite help it, she felt guilty and that was a rare emotion for her. She didn't really give a toss about the human race, they were just rats, vermin running over the earth.

"I'm sorry little one. I didn't want him to hurt you so badly but my boy does tend to get carried away. See he doesn't like your daddy and wants to make him suffer. But we can't let you go…" she sighed.

"Not feeling all maternal are you babe?" Jason asked with a slight smirk as he crouched down on the other side of Emily, playing with his penknife. "Don't you think you've done enough damage? Playing is one thing, mutilating the poor thing is another; Jack Harkness is going to kill you and me! We both know it! He's a dark son of a…" she trailed off as she saw the look in her boyfriend's eyes. "What?" she snapped.

Jason trailed the tip of his blade across Emily's cheek whilst he stared at Holly. "Its his kid, not just a simple child. The whole point of hurting him as badly as we can" he explained, digging the tip of the blade into Emily's skin.

Holly almost growled at him and pushed him back, unintentionally cutting Emily's cheek in the process. She took a shaky breath as she saw fresh blood run down and drip from the child' s chin. "I don't care! She's what? Four…Five? Its wrong! I'm always good for a having a blast but this is different, so back off!" she snapped, gasping as he grabbed hold of her roughly and pushed her against the nearest freezing cold wall.

"Lovers tiff? You know you two never really were well matched. Now me and you Holly, we made the planets move didn't we darling?" a voice came out of the darkness ending in an amused chuckle.

Wiggling out of Jason's grip, Holly peered into the darkness, a small smile already tugging on her mouth, she recognised that voice anywhere. "John? What are you doing here?" she asked in glee.

"Well I made a promise…" John shrugged, coming into the light. "What sort of promise? And you keep them? You've got to kidding me Hart!" Jason sneered. "To help me!" Jack joined in, glancing at the table that his daughter was on then back at the two ex time agents. "Owen…"

"Already on my way Harkness!" Owen replied, pulling Tosh with him as he started to check the small child out. Tosh looked at the blood covered Emily and then at Owen in alarm. "Owen…I don't think we can" she started. "No! We have to. She's in an extremely bad way but we need to get her back to the Hub. Give me your jacket…" Owen ordered.

"What made you think that you could get away with this Jason? I always thought you were smart…obviously you're not or you wouldn't have made the mistake of touching my family" Jack frowned. "Because you deserve it! The immortal Jack Harkness, doesn't give a rat's ass about those around him then why should you? You can't die!" Jason shot back. Jack took a calm breath and spoke just as calmly which given the circumstances surprised the rest of his team but not John, he knew exactly how Jack could be when something or someone he loved was threatened.

"Just because I can't die doesn't mean that I just stop caring. I love more than ever, knowing that I will outlive my children and every second is precious. When people like you threaten my blood then yes I care more than ever and right now I wouldn't think twice about shooting you on the spot!" Jack growled.

John opened his mouth about to add something when he turned his head as a figure rushed past him. "Griffin!" he suddenly shouted as his gaze focussed on the figure.

Ianto was already on it though and pushed Tucker to John. "Stay with John! You hear me?" Ianto ordered before grabbing hold of his son's shoulder and giving him a sharp push backwards. "What did I tell you?" he snapped, the concern radiating off him. Jack also looked less than pleased at the sight of not one but two sons but by the look of it, Griffin had been the one who had been sneaking off and straight into a grounding that Jack was figuring would last a few weeks.

"I'm sorry Da, I just wanted to help!" Griffin protested. "Go to your brother!" Ianto replied, turning, his intention on getting to Owen and Tosh to see what was happening with his small daughter. He didn't get that far. Whilst everyone had been distracted by the newcomers in the building, Jason had managed to move and was now in front of Ianto. "IANTO!" Jack shouted as the other man drove his penknife straight into Ianto's stomach and twisted it.

As Ianto crumpled to the floor, Jack had already pulled the trigger on his gun and shot Jason through the head before bringing his attention to the still figure on the floor. Owen had already sprung into action though it took Jack a few seconds to move as his mind went through the 'this is not happening' stage. "Jack! I need your help!" Owen shouted, snapping Jack out of his reverie. "Is he alright? God, no no no. Not Ianto. I can't lose him" Jack repeated over and over, pulling the Welshman into his arms.
