Steve slowly wakes up on the floor in Jack's office. Standing over him is Jack holding a mug in his hand.

"Morning, sunshine."

Steve looks confused as he stares up at Jack, holding his head.

"Hey Jack. Why am I on the floor? Why does my head hurt?"

"You're on the floor because my bed was kind of...preoccupied. Your head hurts because you've got a good 'ol fashioned hangover my friend."

"I don't get hangovers. I don't even get drunk."

"Well you could have fooled me, Steve."

Jack bends down to the ground and hands Steve the mug.

"Here, drink this."

Steve does just that, and then has this disgusted look on his face. Almost spits it out before Jack advises otherwise.

"Nuh uh uh! Don't you dare spit that out! Not on this carpet! You better swallow!"

Jack contemplates what he just said in his head.

"Oddly enough, I was saying the same thing to a bedfellow the other night."

"What is this stuff?!"

"The Harkness family recipe, that's what. The perfect cure for a hangover. Keep drinking."

Steve does just that. Steve then thinks over what might have gone down last night.

"Jack...did we...last night...you know..."

Jack giggles.

"Of course not Steve. I asked politely but in your drunken stupor, you fended me off. People can only resist this jawline when they're drunk."

Steve chuckles.

"Why? Is it such a crime to...you know...with the handsomest man in the galaxy?"

"No, I don't mean any offense, Jack. It's just...again, no offense...you're not exactly my type."

Jack chuckles to himself.

"Yeah okay, soldier."

"Can I get off this floor now? It's getting cold and I'm hungry."

"Yeah, sure thing. I'll make you some soup."

"It doesn't have any of the Harkness family recipe in it, does it?"

Jack laughs.

"No, no...just noodles and broth. Lots and lots of broth."

The two walk into the kitchen. Steve sits down at the kitchen table, still holding his head. Jack pulls a bowl from the cabinet.

"Where's everybody else?"

"Sleeping, the lazy bastards. They don't usually come in until noon."

"Oh..."

Steve thinks for a moment.

"You're not gonna ask why I'm in Cardiff?"

Jack then turns to Steve. He leans against the kitchen sink and crosses his arms.

"I did. Last night."

A curious look comes across Steve's face.

"And what did I say?"

"Well, you were pretty drunk so you mostly mumbled a lot, but the gist of what you said was you were lonely. The only thing that made sense at the moment was someone who's existence makes no sense, me. You said bad memories were flooding back and you needed some comforting. That sound about right?"

" *reluctantly* Um...yeah. Pretty much."

"Now, Steve, I said this to you last night but since it seems you don't remember much, I'm gonna say it again so I hope it gets through that pretty skull of yours as well as it did last night...you are not alone. You have The Avengers. You have friends. You have me. Understand?"

"...Yeah. Yeah I do. I appreciate the pep talk."

"You better. So, if I send you back on a plane to America, you're not gonna do anything...drastic? Not gonna go into any more tailspins or breakdowns?"

"If they all amount to another one of these headaches, definitely not."

Jack grins. Steve grins back at him.

"Good. Now, if you're feeling low like that again, you call me, okay? And if you plan on making a visit like that again, you call first okay?"

"Yes, sir."

"That's my boy."

Suddenly, Ianto walks in yawning and wiping the cold from his eyes...wearing nothing but a blanket wrapped around his body. Jack smiles, and Steve's eyes light up when he see's the sight.

"Ah...Captain, you remember Ianto, right? AKA...the man who preoccupied my bed."

Ianto's eyes light up when he see's Steve. Steve just casually waves, grinning at Ianto.

"Howdy."

Ianto's face just turns red in embarrassment as he just freezes in embarrassment.

"H...how...howdy Mr. Rogers."

"Please...call me Steve, Ianto."

Ianto laughs nervously before going to Jack, whispering in his ear...

"You said he was so drunk he won't be waking up for a few more hours!"

Jack just casually speaks out loud, with a grin on his face amused by Ianto's embarrassment.

"Well, I woke him up. Come here you."

He pulls in Ianto by the sheet and lip locks a very passionate kiss with him. Steve grins for a moment because he's touched by how beautiful that kiss was, but then a lightbulb goes off in Steve's head. Now his face turns to shock, not because of Janto, but because he remembers fragments of how he acted with Jack around the bar...specifically he remembers the kiss. He tries to hold his composure though. He gulps.

"I...*clears throat* didn't know you two were together."

"Yep, he's the brains to my beauty. Sit down, Ianto. I'll make you some coffee."

Ianto can't help but chuckle.

"Isn't that usually my job?"

"After last night, I'd be surprised if you had any 'jobs' left in you."

Jack winks at him. Ianto looks petrified knowing Jack had said that in front of Steve. Ianto had always been a bit shy about showing public affection in front of company in all of his relationships, but doing it with the man he loved in front of the man he thought was competition the night before really didn't help and made things more awkward for him.

"Go on, sit. The captain doesn't bite. That's the *points at himself* other captain's job."

Jack laughs as Ianto awkwardly sits in front of Steve at the kitchen table. Jack pulls a mug out the cabinet that says '#1 Coffee Boy', a mug Jack had gotten Ianto for his birthday. The kitchen was laced with awkward silence for a while. Then Jack breaks it.

"I'll be right back."

Ianto: "Where are you going?"

"Just remembered I left the iron in my room on. I'll be right back."

Jack bolts out the kitchen.

"You don't even iron your...clothes."

Jack was gone, leaving Steve and Ianto together. Now the room was really laced with awkward silence for a few minutes.

"So..."

"So..."

"So...you're not wearing any-"

"No."

Steve looks uncomfortable. Ianto looks embarrassed. More awkward silence ensues.

"So...um...heard you and your team saved the world."

"Yeah, but Jack did most of the work. Heard your team did too? That guy in the iron suit wouldn't shut up about it last time."

"Yeah...Tony's always been the more...vocal...one out of The Avengers. He's got a mouth on him, believe me, but he can back it up."

"Reminds me of someone on our team."

"Who? That Ian guy?"

"Owen."

"Weird, Tony kept calling him Ian for some reason. He said he was an ignorant wise-ass? That the same guy?"

Ianto doesn't hesitate.

"Yep. That sounds like Owen alright."

"Ah, I see...so what did you save the world against?"

"A giant monster and a rift in the galaxy. You?"

"A megalomaniac Asgardian who recruited an entire alien civilization and caused a rift in the galaxy."

Ianto has a curious look on his face.

"Asgardian as in the Gods?"

"Yep. His brother's on our team. Thor and believe me, that is not a guy you want fighting against you."

Ianto's face lights up in curiosity and amazement.

"Thor?! As in Mighty God of Thunder, Thor? Son of Odin, Thor?"

"The one and only."

"Wow...that's incredible! I was a big mythology buff in college and...do you think you can introduce me one day?"

"Oh definitely."

"Is his hammer really...that heavy?"

Steve chuckles.

"Let's just say the Hulk couldn't even lift it if he tried, which he did."

"Who's the...OH...isn't that the scientist who turns into an angry giant?"

"Bruce Banner, yeah. He's actually a cool guy when you get to know him."

"Have you ever tried getting to know The Hulk?"

"Nope and I never will. Hulk is like...a little kid who's had too much candy and goes on a tantrum when you try to take it."

The two laugh.

"Well, I definitely wouldn't want to get on his bad side then."

"All of Hulk's sides are bad. Each and every angle."

The two laugh harder.

The two get to chatting for many minutes, while Jack watches on his surveillance monitors from his "secret room". He watches leaned back in his chair with a big smile on his face because he's happy to see his two favorite men in his life getting along and chit-chatting.

Those minutes turned into an hour and eventually Jack walked back in as Ianto and Steve were trading old stories.

"Hey, Jack. Forgot about you for a second. Why'd you leave again? Oh yeah...the iron thing."

"How big was that iron that you were tending to it for an hour?"

Jack goes to Steve and pats him on the head.

"As big as your head!"

Steve chuckles. Jack goes to Ianto and kisses him on the forehead.

"Didn't you say you were gonna make me coffee?"

"And me soup?"

"You're both grown men! You can make your own crap!"

The three laugh.

Later...

Jack and Steve are at an airport. Steve is about to get on a plane back to America.

"Well, this is it."

"Yeah...it was good seeing you, Steve. You should visit again soon."

"Same to you, Jack. You're always welcome on American soil."

"Oh, I can't remember the last time I was on American soil. But you...YOU definitely have to come back here so me, you, and Ianto can have a double date!"

Steve looks puzzled.

"For it to be a double date, don't both parties have to be with someone? Won't I just be the odd man out?"

"Of course, but I have the perfect date for you! I have this old friend from when I used to travel with The Doctor."

"How old we talking?"

"Not as old as you and definitely not as old as me. She works for a UNIT, which is kinda like Torchwood only not as sexy."

Steve laughs.

"She's smart. She's funny. She's a Hell of a looker. You'll love her. I mean, you're not gonna look this good forever. You gotta get back on the market sooner or later."

"Maybe...I'll think about it. If I'm ever in town again, I wouldn't mind meeting Miss...Miss?"

"Jones. Martha Jones."

"Hmmm...okay."

"Promise you'll visit!"

"I promise."

"Again, good seeing you."

Jack sticks his hand out, but Steve gives him a big hug. Steve gets on the plane steps and before he goes inside, he waves back to Jack.

"Looking forward to that double date! See ya!"

Jack waves back.

"See ya!"
