I'm so sorry it's been a long time, especially to you faithful reviewers- but u've been suffering from a touh of writer's block and that on top of my a levels has not been useful! here it is the next chapter though; slightly longer which i hope makes up for the long wait! more janto fluff in this one! hope you review! xxxxx
oh- and i know i said that this chapter would include one of the team "stepping out of line" but i'm afraid that's not going to be until the next chapter now. sorry!
"Alright! For the last time, if you're here looking for the Torchwood entrance- you're in the wrong place! And I haven't a clue where it is so don't bother asking me! now, unless you're here to ask a general tourist question, would you all please leave my tourist office immediately!"
Nobody moved.
Well, if he was going to 'die' anyway…Ianto pulled out his gun and shot it three times into the air in quick succession.
"Immediately!"
There was a mad rush to scramble out of Ianto's way as the men women and children, flung themselves out of the tourist office.
"Now I'm probably wanted for possessing an illegal firearm…" muttered Ianto to himself miserably, "fabulous."
He shoved his gun onto the desk and locked up the tourist office. Taking the stairs, four at a time, he ran back into the hub and almost tripped over something blocking his entrance. Ianto glanced down.
"Oh my god!"
He was dead. Literally…Ianto was staring down at himself…dead. His tie was crooked (which Ianto definitely would not have allowed had he been conscious) and his white shirt was stained with blood. His eyes stared back at him, unseeing and plastered onto his face was a look of terror Ianto recognised as his own. Maybe this was one of those out of body experiences…or maybe he'd be doomed to haunt the Torchwood hub forever…
"Hey Yan," Ianto looked up. Jack was there; maybe he'd come to pay his last respects. "Yan?" goodbye Jack…it's been fun, Ianto thought to himself.
"Hello? Ianto?" Jack waved a hand in front of his face. "You alright?"
Ianto recovered, now realising that Jack was in fact talking to him, and he was not actually dead.
"Spectacular thanks," Ianto muttered. "Erm…why am I dead?"
Jack kicked the body beneath him. "Manikin, remember?" he grinned. "There's four more over there," he pointed. Ianto noticed that there were in fact, the bodies of Owen, Tosh, Gwen and even Jack spread in odd positions round the hub. Owen's body looked the most mangled, Ianto noticed with glee.
"Why exactly are we faking our own deaths?" he asked Jack with suspicion.
"So we don't have to be ret-conned," Jack replied. "It's our only way out…"
"How did we die?"
"What do you think?"
Ianto bent down to examine his body. "Judging by the bite marks, I'd say…weevil?"
Jack nodded. "One 'escaped' from the vaults…"
Ianto grimaced. "Impressive way to go isn't it? After fighting for all these years…wonder how I'll really go out."
Jack frowned at him. "Let's just concentrate on the present for now Yan. Deal with the rest later."
Ianto nodded. "Where's Tosh?"
"Already left. Her, Gwen, Owen, Andy, Yestin and Rhys left to wait with Rhys' mother." At this point Jack shivered with disgust. "Still cannot like that woman."
Ianto chuckled. "So what do we do?"
"We're going to finish up here, leave the hub door open so tourists can 'discover' our bodies and then…" Jack winked towards Myfanwy, who had been tied to the water-tower.
"You're kidding?!"
"Nope," Jack winked and slapped Ianto's ass- "We're trying a bit of dinosaur sports!"
Ianto shook his head firmly. "No way Jack" he protested. "I will ruin my new suit for you, fake my own death, shoot at a bunch of tourists but there is now way I am flying on a dinosaur!"
"It's the only way to get out un-noticed," Jack explained patiently. "And when did you shoot at some tourists?"
Ianto ignored the last question. "Un-noticed? We're flying on a fucking dinosaur for god's sake Jack! We can't get any more noticed than that!"
Jack wrapped an arm round Ianto's waist and pulled him towards him.
"Yan, I promise you'll be safe," he murmured, kissing the tip of his nose. "Would I ever put the man I love in danger?"
"You do. Every single day."
Jack pouted. "not purposefully."
Ianto laughed at him. "Jesus Jack, we fight aliens- what do you expect?" he exclaimed. "it's our job. Besides, where would the fun be if we weren't in peril every now and again?"
He pressed his lips to Jack's in a fierce kiss. "Let me go change out of my suit; then I'll be ready to fly on a Dino."
Jack grinned and walked over to their "pet." He remembered fondly how it had been the way he and Ianto had met. The day Ianto started wearing suits.
"Hello girl," he whispered softly, running his hand along her scaly back. "Ready to get us out of here?"
Myfanwy screeched in answer and Jack swung himself over onto her back. At once, the beast protested, and Jack had to cling on to stop himself flying across the hub. "Sshh girl, sshh!" he soothed, running her neck in small circles. "I'm not going to hurt you,"
"I remember that line," chuckled Ianto, strolling across the hub now wearing the ensemble Jack had first greeted him in; jeans, black jacket, sexy white shirt with a string of black beads round his neck.
"You know it works though," Jack chuckled, pulling Ianto up to join him on their dinosaur. "Besides, Myfanwy believes me don't you girl?"
"Glad one of us does," Ianto retorted, gently kicking Myfanwy's side to get her into the air.
The huge dinosaur immediately took off, flapping her gigantic wings as she went.
"Jack, I forgot to ask…how are we getting out of here?" Ianto yelled, clinging onto him for dear life.
"Through the tourist entrance!" Jack answered, still grinning as the dinosaur flew out of the hub and into the night sky.
hope you enjoyed reading it as much as i enjoyed writing it! Jack and Ianto on a dinosaur ey? ;) please review xxXxx
