Chapter 5. In which Owen earns his wage.
A/n- people seem to be confused about the last chapter so.
Jack has a bad dream so and wakes up weird. Ianto gets grey who jack thinks is his dad for obvious reasons. He thinks ianto brought his father so he could be abused again just like when he was a child. Jack has a mood swing and becomes scared of grey thinking of his dad, he eventually realises who grey is and when grey asks 'but you were the favourite?' it is a reference to the line 'you, the favoured son.' In exit wounds, because that is what grey believes. When jack tells him this is not true he gets angry but then jack tells him he forgave Franklin before keeling over.
'Get him laid down, Now!' Owen was yelling. 'What happened?' he bellowed, fear evident as He and Grey struggled with an Unconscious Jack. They laid him down onto the autopsy table and Ianto removed his coat and shirt gently so they could wire him up and check his stats while saying quietly:
'I don't know he was fine when he woke up, a bit shaken but other than that he was just Jack, not normal Jack though but the more antsy version no one sees, then he started tearing the office apart looking for grey, but when he showed up jack thought grey was his dad and he went mad, yelling about.. stuff then he stared shaking and he got really scared, almost like a child, then he just keeled over.' Owen stared.
'So basically he's experiencing mood swings and disorientation?'
Ianto nodded. Grey was sat next to Gwen now and he asked. 'Haven't any of you noticed, jacks memory's gone to pot, I mean who forgets weevil spray when they're hunting the damned things? Or doesn't pack a piece when they're walking into unknown territory?' most of the team looked confused but Tosh answered. 'Jack.' Grey nodded.
'Are we all agreed that memory lapses are going onto the list of symptoms then?' Owen asked, no one answered so he added it anyway. He muttered to himself for a while before asking Tosh to set up the scanner, she complied and within seconds detailed maps of Jack's brain appeared on the wall.
Owen stared at them for a while studying them from every angle and then his face fell, Ianto noticed first and stood up imploring Owen for an answer as to the problem.
'So?' Gwen asked ever concise.
Owens heart sank, 'I think his brain's mutated most likely from some kind of stress, so his minds decided it cant cope and has decided it coped better in the early 51st century.'
Grey stared at Owen. 'but that was when he was a child, like ten maybe..' he trailed off when Owen nodded.
'so were talking regression?' Ianto asked but Owen shook his head 'it's a bit more than that..' he really didn't want to say it but Ianto carried on probing. His gut twisted. 'I'm pretty sure he's got Alzheimer's.. .' Ianto stared shaking his head.
'What?' Owen didn't answer. 'No, no way, he can't...' Ianto blacked out as the memories and a golden aurora enfolded around him.
Ok short chapter but I've been having fits over it so please be nice, please? Or at least don't just flame without saying why.
