They had managed to find a cave hidden away in the mountains. Thanks to Tosh's and Ianto's super quick thinking during packing they had a battery powered radiator to huddle up against, Ianto even brought out some aliens devices that created light and heat much to everyone's happiness. The four of them curled up in the small cramp space shivering.

"You know the best way for us to warm up is body heat" Owen said in between chattering of his teeth. "So what we should do is take our-"

"Don't finish that sentence!" Gwen snapped cutting Owen off.

"I agree, no matter how true your little fact is I don't particularly want to see you naked" Ianto said his lips twitching. "However I do wonder if it's true you have a bunny shaped birthmark on your behind"

"You told him?!" Owen shouted looking horrified.

Neither Gwen nor Tosh could resist collapsing in hysterical laughter; Owen flushed red and refused to look at anyone while Ianto had a smirk on his face as he poured out lucid warm coffee from the hot flask.

"God bless you Ianto" Gwen said as the others sighed dreamily into their plastic cups of coffee. "So...is it often for the government to try and kill Torchwood?"

"Not often, often" Ianto said thoughtfully. "Whenever there's a huge world size crisis the government has a habit of panicking and start aiming to kill us in hopes of protecting themselves"

"Torchwood One was always too big to be on that little list though" Owen said bitterly. "Only the higher ups were on it. Meanwhile Torchwood Two and Three which is small have whole teams exterminated"

Tosh out of character snorted. "Trust me Owen you're not on the list. If anything major happened and Torchwood was to be killed it would be me and Jack. I know I've read the list"

"What? Why you?" Gwen asked shocked, she honestly thought if the government wanted to kill someone it would have been Owen.

"Before I worked here I was with UNIT, a more military style of things created in the 1970s, Jack hates them because they don't respond to his flirtations well" everyone snorted. Typical Jack that was. "I'm considered dangerous due to the reason I swapped jobs"

Knowing it was a sensitive and secretive subject to Tosh and that the only other person that knows the details to why Tosh ended up in Torchwood was Jack, everyone opted to talk about something else.

"You reckon Saxon wants to get rid of us because Jack flirted with him?" Owen asked.

"Wouldn't surprise me" Gwen muttered. "Do you think Jack's with Saxon?"

"Who knows" Ianto said quietly.

Gwen looked at Ianto from the corner of her eyes, his face was expressionless but his eyes had the look of a kicked puppy. It made Gwen want to pull the young man in a vice like hug and tell him everything will be all right. Instead she merely reached out and took his gloved hand into her own gloved hand.

"We should sleep" she said. "We're going to need our strength tomorrow and I highly doubt anyone will try to kill us in the mean time"

Everyone mumbled their agreements and shuffled round to find a comfortable position, Gwen ended up resting her head on Tosh's winter wear padded thigh, while Ianto snuggled his head into her belly. Much to Tosh's everlasting happiness the Japanese woman was curled up in Owen's arms who sat up right against the cave's wall.

Gwen absently played with Ianto's hair as she slowly drifted towards sleep.

"Or we could just have an orgy?"

"NO! GO TO SLEEP OWEN!"

"I knew he was going to suggest that"

"Really Owen, it's more something Jack would say"

The snowing had stopped by the time they woke up. After a brief discussion that turned into an argument the team agreed to go back down to flat surface and try to find civilisation. It would be faster than sitting around waiting for their plane to come back especially since it seemed the plane was never going to come back. Everyone was cold, hungry and cranky and what's worse was Owen was cold, hungry, cranky and sober.

"Are you sure we're going the right way? Because nothing ever changes it's just white. Also why do you have to follow Ianto's lead? All he's going to do is find us a coffee shop and Tosh will you stop clingy onto my hand like it's a baby blanket"

"Owen stop whining" Gwen said rubbing her temples as she felt a headache coming on. "Ianto's leading because he unlike you actually passed GCSE Geography; you keep getting lost just walking down a straight road so shut up!"

"Ooh no need to get your panties in a twist Skipper" Owen drawled.

"Right that's it!"

Both Ianto and Tosh dived between Gwen and Owen, trying to hold the pair apart as the two attempted punching, kicking and biting one another.

"Please you two, fighting isn't the answer, we need to calm down and – AH!"

In an attempt to lunge at Gwen, Owen accidentally tripped over Tosh causing the pair of them to crash into Ianto and Gwen. All four ended up rolling down the hill, landing in a tangled ball of arms and legs.

They all groaned.

"I hate you Owen"

"Likewise Cooper"

"Look I know we're all tired and cold but we shouldn't try to kill each other. We're a team!" Tosh said tearfully, Owen groaned and sat up, pulling a glove off he used it to wipe Tosh's tears away.

"Don't cry Tosh, please don't cry you know I hate it when you do" Owen begged. "I'm sorry, it's just I'm cold, hungry, tired and last night I had this really weird dream that seemed so real. About these metal alien things called Tolcafane and-"

"You too?" Gwen interrupted with a surprised look. "I had that dream as well; the whole world was practically dead. Japan was massacred and-"

"Everything depended on a woman called Martha Jones" Ianto finished off quietly.

Everyone stared at one another fearfully. It was a truly horrific nightmare, someone of them died during it and waking up was a relief it was only until morning that any of them could wake up. Despite the fact they had slept the whole night it felt as if they barely got any sleep at all.

"When we get back home, we can work out what it was" Tosh said rapidly. "Maybe it was a telepathic dream, someone sent it to us to mess with out minds or maybe it was some sort of rift energy or-"

"You know what I don't think I want to know what happened" Owen said looking terrified though his voice was loud and firm. "I think we should all just forget it"

"But-"

"Owen's right" Ianto said quietly. "The things we dreamt about are best forgotten besides I'm already starting to forget things as it is"

"Same here" Gwen said. "It's becoming a blur"

By the time they got to the bottom of the mountain, no one could even recall what they dreamt about let alone whose name it was that everything depended on.
