Short chapter sorry, I just want to split it here or the next one will be mega long, upload again in a few days.
Thank you everyone who has read and reviewed!
Jack wandered aimlessly for a while, trying to work out how Gwen had gotten out, and why she had dived into the water. He wandered past a shop window and got a glimpse of their clock. Cursing he turned away, it was late enough that the others would be arriving now, and he had no way to contact them. His phone had been in his pocket when he dived into the water, and was now dead.
At least, he reminded himself, he was fully dressed, well except for his coat. He had decided to sleep in his clothes incase he had to leap up and check on Gwen. He groaned, shaking some of the water from his hair. Owen, Tosh and Ianto would be at work by now, they would find Gwen and him missing and think... He frowned, he wasn't sure what they would think, they would worry, he knew that. Jack shook his head and looked around, he recognised the area, it was quite near Ianto's flat. Ianto! Of course, he had the morning off, he could call the others from Ianto's apartment, and tell them... His shoulders slouched again, he would have to tell them about Gwen. Regardless Ianto's flat did sound rather appealing, dry clothes, something to eat, some of Ianto's fantastic coffee. It was decided, Jack set off at a fast jog towards Ianto's apartment.
Gwen sighed, she was sitting in the Hub, at Owen's station. Rhys had driven her after she had collapsed on their doorstep, freezing cold and exhausted. Owen had checked her over, and warmed here up. Now he was frowning at her blood test.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
He looked at her, "there are traces of something in your blood, I don't recognise it," he handed it to Tosh, "Do you know anything about this?"
She shook her head, "I'll see if we have any information on it." She turned and walked to her computer.
Gwen watched her nervously. A few minutes later she called over to them, "Found it." Owen and Gwen walked over to see.
"It's the juice of a alien root, it takes over the drinkers mind, giving them strange visions, and inhuman strength."
Gwen shuttered, remembering the strange things she had seen.
"It is meant to make the drinker feel completely alone and trapped, however often drinks will reach out for something they remember making them happy." Tosh continues. "In their deranged state they will grab onto anything which resembles an item that makes them feel good."
"The device." Gwen said quietly. "I grabbed the device because it made me feel happy."
Tosh nodded, "I think the device it's self may have also had something to do with it, I didn't finish all my scans, but one of the ones I did complete showed the device was letting out a chemical that activates the addiction part of your brain, I would rather like to run some more scans."
Gwen sighed, "It's gone now, I dropped it."
Tosh nodded sadly,
"Any luck contacting Jack?" Owen asked Tosh. She shook her head, "His phone isn't going through, if he had it on him it would have died when he jumped into the water."
Owen sighed, "alright, keep trying to find him, Gwen, I want to run a few more tests, then we should figure out how the juice got into your blood in the first place." He said turning away, Gwen followed him quietly mulling over everything that had happened that morning.
Ianto winced and opened his eyes. His body was bound by thick metal chains, and he appeared to be in the bathroom. In the bathtub, the full bathtub. Looking around he realised what a mess the place was in, the door was open so he could see out into the hallway, his house had been trashed. Faint memories surfaced, he remembered thinking he was caged in a zoo, and one of the keepers was chasing him. He shook his head, that didn't make any sense. He heard someone humming, and saw the creature walk into the hallway, he appeared to be trying to clean up the mess. He spotted Ianto and frowned.
"You ruined your house you know." He said in a sing song voice. "Not that it matters, I'll only need it for a few more days, once the device is fully charged I'll get a new place."
He walked off, leaving Ianto wondering what the hell was going on.
