Back at the Hub, Jack poured the Lieutenant a drink and handed it to her; he sat down putting his feet up on the desk. She crossed her legs on the chair looking even younger than she usually did. He watched her carefully as she took a mouth full of the liquor. She ran her left hand over her hair.

"So," Jack said, she looked at him. "How did you know all that about his wife?"

"I saw his dying thoughts." She said it with disgust.

"Lieutenant what's been going on? You're going to have to tell me more about yourself, you're a Time Lord but you're more extraordinary that anyone or anything I've ever come across before."

"I can say the same for you Captain Harkness. Isn't it enough that the Doctor sent me?"

"That's what I can't understand, you're perfectly capable yet, he's sent you here to me. It makes no sense at all."

"I know all I got is 'your destiny isn't with me anymore.'" Jack looked at her there was deep sadness in her eyes as she said it.

"I just want to know ya a little better." He said sincerely.

"What's there to know Captain? I'm 382 years old in my 3rd life! One of 22 Time Lords left in existence. I've fought my whole life to be free and I'm not." He looked at her.

"Ya look about 18 to me ." She smiled.

"That a problem for you?" She asked in a soft, querying voice. Again Jack didn't know how serious she was being. His smile widened as he laughed. He slowly became more serious.

"When did you last regenerate?"

"8 years ago, I was killed recently when travelling with the doctor but I just healed or jump back to life." He raised his eyebrows. She wanted to add that then he'd decided to dump her on this planet instead of carrying on their travels together.

"That sounds painful."

"You would know." A silence felled it was only broken when they heard the entrance to the hub opened the flashing lights causing stars to jump in front of her eyes. She shifted in her seat so she could rest her chin on her knee; she hugged her leg tightly so she didn't slip.

"Sir...oh…Lieutenant." he blushed.

"Hi Ianto." She turned to look at him, a warm smile on her lips. He gave her a small smile in return before busying back to Jack.

"Tags." He said handing the bag to Jack. "I've catalogued them, but no sign of the cube."

"Ah no I have that," Jack pulled it out of his pocket and tossed it to the Lieutenant who to her own surprise caught it. "The tags are for the Lieutenant." Ianto moved over and she took the bag of tags from him.

"Thanks Ianto I really appreciate it, I don't think I could have handled it myself."

"It's alright, it's my job."

"I know I just want you to feel appreciated." She winked at him. Jack smiled as Gwen entered. She walked over and lent against the door to the safe.

"You two can get off early if ya want. In fact that's not an option." Ianto could tell Jack and the Lieutenant would be up talking late so he headed out with Gwen. The Lieutenant spun the cube in her hands, opening it and examining the inside carefully.

"I can't help but wonder." She turned to look up at Jack. She turned it again, pulling a screwdriver out of her pocket; she twisted some of the wires around. Placing it on the table she lent over, carefully bringing the internal mechanism, Jack walked back over to the desk, staring at the knot of wires and circuit boards; two disc shaped pieces the twisted together completed the circuit that caused the device to pull energy from the holder.

"What are ya going to do with it?"

"I'll put it in the TARDIS, run a full scan on it, and try work out if it would really work. I recon it will just go to scrap." She replaced the colourful knot back inside its metal casing. She stood up gathering the bags of tags.

"And what will you do with the tags?"

"I'll send the data through to the archives on Gallifrey. They'll update the files of the dead. Good night Jack." He nodded to her as she left his office, heading to the stretch of wall where her ship was concealed.

TWTWTW

The Lieutenant typed away at the keyboard in front of her, her eyes glued on the screen, scanning for activity. She lent back in the chair rubbing her eyes, however tired she was she couldn't sleep.

"Can't sleep?" she turned her chair to look over at Jack who was leaning on the metal railings behind her looking down at her as she worked.

"Just felt there were things to be doing." He walked down the steps, they clanged with every footfall. She span back to the screen.

"Ya know what the problem is with Time Lords is?" he put his hands on her shoulders. She smiled and shook her head.

"No I don't Captain why don't you enlighten me?"

"There workaholics!" she could here the smile in his voice.

"And you can talk!" he squeezed her shoulders gently.

"I have no where better to be!"

"And I can't get anywhere better!" he patted her shoulder.

"Point taken!" He moved over to a sofa lent up against the wall of the hub, he sat down. She spun around on her chair to face him.

"I recon I'll have fixed the TARDIS soon well repaired it enough. I'll be able to leave you and your team in peace." He looked over at her.

"Really?" the smile on his face slid away, "I hoped you'd stay." His brow was furrowed in a frown. "I wouldn't have a team if it went for you." She tried to ignore his sad tone, and the fact he wanted her to stay.

"I just have to repair the major damage to my locator and transmission locator, they was more damage that I originally thought. Then I need to try resetting my coordinates for some reason there jammed at the moment."

"Don't you think its best if you stay here till you're running on 100%?"

"No point staying where I'm not wanted or needed."

"The doctor sent you here; don't you think it was for a reason? And you are needed." he said earnestly. She gave him a sarcastic look.

"He sent me here to get me out of his way, Jack I don't know why you're trying to persuade me to stay; I'm a danger to you and your team! I'm getting in the way of you and Ianto and your fine here you don't need me. I really don't know a reason why he would send me."

"What if we actually do need you?"

"Jack you barely trust me!"

"I do trust you it's just the sudden appearance and the disappearance of Time Lords it knocks you out of kilter. You think you find someone you have something in common with and then they just take off." She stood up. She walked over to another computer opening up another program. Inputting the data, she'd just extracted.

"Jack the only thing we have in common is the Doctor."

"No, we can't die either!" she didn't reply immediately.

"I suppose your right." She turned to look at him leaning on the desk behind her

"About the fact that we need you and you should stay? Or that we're immortal?"

"The immortal bit!" she didn't sound like she was going to be persuaded to stay easily.

"Look Lieutenant you can't leave." He looked at her solemnly.

"What do you mean?" he didn't reply, "Jack, what do you mean I can't leave?" He took a deep breath. Wondering how she was going to take the news.

"The Doctor put a permanent lock on your coordinates. It has a boomerang effect. You can leave once you've fixed it back to 100% running power but you will return once you leave the place you went to and will come straight back here. Then lock down of a few years, so if he needs to find you he can."

"Unbelievable. For my own good, that's what's he said when he locked me the TARDIS and sent me here with no real explanation. You know everyone is always the same with me, controlling. I mean finding out your not the last of your kind is big but this is taking it a bit far." She sat back down.

"Sorry, I should have told you before."

"You knew I couldn't leave, what else do you know? What's he said to you?"

"Nothing he just sent you here and told me to look after you or for you to look after me, I'm not sure what his real intention was."

"Great so you're just some kind of glorified baby-sitter."

"You're just a kid." He sounded concerned. She stood up.

"I'm not a kid, why do you keep saying that just because I look like a child here doesn't mean I am one, just because I take on the hormones of and earth 18 year old doesn't mean I am one. I'm well over 300 years old I'm definitely not a child. I can look after myself."

"Well clearly he though you couldn't, so you're going to have to live with it."

"Clearly I am." Her voice was raised now, irritated at Jacks tone. She stood there breathing heavily after her rant, trying to calm herself down. "Well I'd better get back to work."

"Sleep is a good thing you know."

"I don't need sleep."

"You know what?" Jack was getting irritated now. "I've worked out another problem with Time Lords." He raised his voice a little.

"Oh yeah, what would that be?"

"The way they walk in and try to take over the place." She started to yell back at him.

"Oh, you know the problem with Time Agents?"

"No why don't you enlighten me?" she walked over to him they were both on their feet.

"The way they think their God's gift to anything with a hole."

"Oh really, now who's made it personal. Anything else you wanna say?"

"No, anything you want to get off of your chest?"

"Yes actually." Louise looked at him expectantly. He grabbed the lapels on her coat, pulling her to him kissing her. She pulled back and slapped him. She turned to leave. He caught her hand, spinning her back to face him. He kissed her again and she kissed him back. His hand moved to her back pulling her closer, his other hand on the side of her face.

"Another problem with Time Agents," she said pulling back. He smiled slightly. "They hide behind their coats!" she pushed his off of his shoulders. He let it slip to the floor. He moved and in one fluid movement, spinning her so he pulled her coat off throwing it deftly onto the chair she had just been sat on, kissing her again. He picked her up; she wrapped her legs around him.

"My office or yours?" Jack asked politely, she laughed.

"Definitely yours," she smiled and he raised his eyebrows at her, "the desk is bigger." She whispered in his ear.

"It goes with being the boss." He smiled and made his way up the stairs to his office at the top of the Hub.
