AN: Again I own nothing but the plot and OC!Aiden, constructive criticism is more than welcome. Only one chapter to go after this. I'm sorry about the wait but after COE the muses, Jack!muse in particular didn't want to play ball.

They walked out of the Ritz Dancehall to see the darkness of night, "Where's the SUV? Has it been stolen?" Toshiko asked, as Jack checked his wristband.

His reply chilled her, "No, we have." He looked at her before grabbing her hand, "Come on, we have to get out of here." He spoke as he began running down the street, dragging her along with him.

Jack didn't stop until they were about eight or so streets away from the Ritz Dancehall, Tosh trying to catch her breath as Jack led her into an empty warehouse. Once they were in the warehouse Jack used his wristband to lock the doors so that no-one would think that anyone was there.

"Jack", Tosh spoke quietly, "What's going on? Why have you dragged me here? Shouldn't we stay near the Ritz in case we need to be there to be taken back through the rift?"

"No", Jack answered, "We won't be taken back through the rift. The only way that it would work that precisely would be to open it back in 2008, something that the team won't do. We're just going to have to live through the years until we come across our personal timelines."

"But Jack, that's 67 years from now, we'll be in our hundreds, we have to get back now." Tosh pleaded, "How would I explain to my family even if I managed to live until 2008, oh sorry mum I fell through time so now your daughter is older than you."

Knowing that he had to stop her before she became hysterical Jack grabbed her arms pulling her to him, "Toshiko, listen to me." She nodded and he let out a sigh of relief, he then began to tell her of his meeting with Aiden 77 years previously by his timeline or ten years ago linear time. He told her of his death as a vampire, about both Owen and Ianto's turning, about Ianto being his mate, he told her everything.

He then explained to her more about the vampire culture and society, what it meant to be a vampire and everything that went along with it. Something that he had never shared with a human before, both Owen and Ianto had already been turned by this point, but he decided that as she wasn't dying Tosh should really have a choice or not as to whether she wanted an eternal death.

After talking through the situation, Toshiko decided that she wanted to be turned, and sooner rather than later, so Jack turned her whilst they were still in the warehouse. He had been planning to wait until they had reached his sire's house, but this way he wouldn't have to worry about going to fast for Toshiko to catch up with him, or hurt her by dragging her. The idea of carrying her never crossed his mind.

Once her turning was complete Tosh asked the one question that he had not already answered in regards to her new state, "Why don't I feel the need to drink blood?"

Jack laughed, "You've just had some of my blood which will tide you over for a while, but I was already immortal when I was turned and I suppose you could say I'm and by extension you Owen and Ianto are all vampire anomalies. We don't need much blood, we only really need to feed about once a month at most. And with us being Torchwood, none of us have hunted a human since Owen joined me as a vampire, he decided that we might as well use the resources that we have, he's been draining all the human corpses that come in to be autopsied of blood and has bottled it."

Neither of them spoke again as they made their way to Aiden's home, Toshiko following Jack closely as they ran trying to keep to the shadows as much as they possibly could. When they reached Aiden's place of residence, Jack introduced both him Toshiko before explaining their current circumstances and asking for somewhere to stay for a few nights while they figured something out. Their request was granted, but they would have to share a room, once in the room Tosh again began to question Jack as to what was happening and why they had left the area surrounding the Ritz Dancehall so quickly.

Jack sighed, "We had to leave quickly in case there was someone in there that recognised me from when I served in the Second World War, I'm still out there living my life as it were at this moment. The other reason is that someone pulled us through time for a reason, that person was obviously in the Ritz so we shouldn't be."

"What so you mean we were pulled through deliberately?" Tosh asked.

"Yes", Jack replied, "Neither of us were touching, but we were both taken by the rift and spat back out together in the exact same spot 67 years earlier. That's not coincidence, this was planned by someone."

The two spent a few days with Aiden before moving on, taking fake identities and moving throughout the world, gathering things that may be useful to them at some point. Tosh still had her laptop and was working every now and again on new programmes that would benefit the team, but she didn't have all the technology she had at the h

The amount of spare time Toshiko had was almost unsettling, after spending so long working for Torchwood she had become used to having only a few spare hours a day and they were used to sleep. Now though she didn't even need to sleep, freeing up even more time for her use, due to all this spare time she took up some hobbies, finding herself to be a marvelous painter.

Many of her works were on show in various galleries and private estates, but none had ever been sold, the galleries and collectors only had the paintings on a rental basis, an idea of Jack's. Those who had one of Tosh's paintings paid a fee to have the painting, and when they died or could no longer afford the fee, the paintings were given back to Toshiko through care of a solicitors that had dealings with vampires and their estates quiet often. Using this method meant that Tosh had a source of income throughout the decades they had to wait before they could get back to 2008, but she still owned each painting, meaning that when they got back to their own time, if she wished she could auction them all of for a large sum of money.

Jack and Tosh had arrived back in Cardiff a week before the day that they were sent to the past, staying with Aiden until it was time to reveal themselves. They had made their way to the Ritz Dancehall and had taken the SUV while their past selves were busy inside. Jack still had the keys, even if they had lost their com devices and mobile phones over the years, deciding that they should try and keep off the electronic radar as best as possible.

Walking back through the cog door was an amazing feeling for both of them, not having seen the team in over sixty years it was good to see them again. They didn't let on that anything had changed or that they had been away for that long, as Gwen still had no idea of their circumstances. However, they gave a short explanation saying that the rift had taken them out of time, there being a temporal shift at the Ritz that pulled them to the forties where they lost both their coms and mobiles, before the shift pulled them back.

Jack then gave a small smile before speaking, "Right team, there appears to be nothing else on, go home."

Gwen had immediately jumped on the chance to leave early and left as soon as she grabbed her bag. The others had all made their way to Jack's house so that he and Tosh could explain what really happened, without it being recorded on CCTV. As they walked out onto the Plass the wind brought a scent to Toshiko's nose, one that was almost indescribable she looked in the direction it came from, knowing what it meant. She looked towards the smell only to see Owen Harper, vampire doctor, her mate.
