After Ianto came home from hospital, Jack stayed with him at his flat. It didn't take Imogene long to get used to getting up in the morning for school and seeing them play tonsil tennis in the kitchen. One thing she had noticed was the fact that after his little confession in the ICU ward, Jack hadn't said the three words to Ianto again. She knew it wasn't any of her business but Imogene wondered just why Jack didn't go for it. She knew about the whole immortality thing when Jack got mauled by a Weevil in front of her and stood up claiming it didn't hurt. It was none of her business. Well except for it being her brother who had stolen Jack's heart. But the whole immortal/mortal thing was like that stupid vampire romance drivel that was being shoved down the world's throat by Stephanie Meyer. Imogene smiled to herself; all they needed was a werewolf that was lusting after Ianto and they could make their own version of 'Twilight'. Hey, it'd be miles better than the version of Twilight thatw as out now.

Imogene was thinking about the twilight parody as she walked into the flat at the end of a long day at school. As soon as she opened the door and flung down her schoolbag the teenager knew something was up. The atmosphere was one of tension and she went into the living room to see a figure curled up on the sofa. The figure was dressed in a suit and staring vacantly into space. Imogene kneeled down beside him and waved her hand in front of his face. The man grabbed it and pushed it away before turning away from her. Imogene sighed and gently let the wall down that shielded her mind from the thoughts of others.

'I knew it was going to happen. But in the hub and in front of me and Tosh and Owen was just heartless. I knew it wouldn't last but I had to let my emotions control things. Well done Ianto Jones. You're a genius. They deserve each other. Gwen gets her way and her man as usual. I was stupid to even think Jack would be faithful.'

Imogene turned on her heel and walked out of the flat. A good beating with a file wouldn't work this time. Why had he done it? She had heard him confess that he loved Ianto. She had heard it with her own two ears. Why then would he want to risk it all and with Gwen of all people. She might be pretty but she was also a self-centred brat who didn't care who she hurt as long as she got her way. Gwen was noting short of being a cow who manipulates men to do what she wants. Well, two people could play that game.

Jack stared aimlessly into space. He ran the events through his mind. Ianto had came up with coffee and a kiss and was helping Jack with his reports when Gwen burst in and ignored Ianto completely and kissed Jack. He should have pushed her away but he didn't. Why didn't he do that? It was only when he heard the door of his office slam that Jack pushed Gwen away who was blathering on about how she loved him and knew they would be together. He tried to talk to Ianto but Ianto walked out the door, yelling at Jack to stay away from him. Jack looked up as the klaxons at the door blared and heard the Welsh accent yell.

"WHERE IS HE?"

Jack sat up as the five foot seven teenager in the green and grey Oakwood High uniform burst into his office shaking with rage and her blue eyes blazing. Jack braced himself for the blow. But it didn't come. Instead Imogene sat down in front of Jack's desk with her hands joined as if they were in a meeting and she hadn't burst into the hub shrieking like a banshee. Jack looked into the teenager's eyes and felt his heart clench. She was doing the mask thing. Hiding away all of her emotions until they erupted out in a volcano of anger; the mask Ianto had fooled them all with many times.

"I work hard Jack. I work hard because I love what I do. And what I do is make my brother's life hell." Imogene said calmly.

"Um…" Jack wasn't sure how to reply. Imogene's temper was volatile when she was angry and he didn't want to push her to the limit.

"You see, because of your exploits today, you have made his life hell. And that's my job. So I am going to ask you one question: what gives you the right to do that?" Imogene asked leaning back folding her arms.

"It wasn't my fault." Jack denied.

"Is that so? You've been leading him a merry dance haven't you? Flirting with men, women and aliens alike haven't you? It was only a matter of time before you took it to the next level, really." Imogene replied.

"I flirt, yeah, but he doesn't mind." Jack argued back.

"Oh wake up and smell the coffee. Ianto has always been a secretive person. He doesn't admit to emotions easily. He was the one who taught me all the emotion tricks I know. The mask, the sad eyes, the flirtatious smile, I learn them all from the master. They're his defence mechanism because he knows what you're like. He knows he shouldn't get too close because someday you could go gallivanting off again. Ianto's not a fool Jack. He knows it would never last between you because he could die tomorrow but you'd life on. His heart didn't listen and fell for you anyway. That was probably the worst mistake he could have made. Because really Jack, you present yourself as a big hero but he's the one who seen beyond that and that scares you. That's why you push him away. Isn't it? Under that macho, hero façade there is just a scared man." Imogene ranted.

"What do you know? You're just a child. Do you know what it's like to fall in love with people and have them ripped from your life? Watching your children and grandchildren grow old and die yet you barely age a day! That's why I push him away because I love him and I don't want to lose him. Under the hero façade is a wise man." Jack argued.

Imogene looked taken aback. "What did you say?"

"I said I love him. Did you hear me? I AM IN LOVE WITH IANTO JONES!" Jack roared standing up and staring down at Imogene.

She smiled and put her hand into the pocket of her bottle green blazer. "And that's a wrap." Imogene said pulling her mobile out of her blazer and stopping the voice recorder function.

Jack stared at her. "What?"

"I know the story Jack. Telepathic remember? Gwen kissed you but it was the fact that you didn't pull away that upset him. I heard you in the hospital. I heard you say that you love him. You just needed to say it again but to his face." Imogene said.

"What do I say?" Jack asked. He couldn't say it to Ianto's face. He couldn't.

"Tell him what you told me." Imogene replied and smiled as Jack pulled on his coat and rushed out of the door.

"What was that about?" Tosh asked as Imogene came down the stairs. She and Owen had been out on a Weevil Hunt earlier and when they had gotten back, Ianto had gone. They both had felt uneasy as Gwen had spent the rest of the day walking around with a smug look on her face like the cat that had gotten the cream. Or the Welshwoman who had gotten the Captain.

"Gwen kissed Jack earlier when Ianto was in the room. Ianto left and was lying on the sofa when I got home from school. I read his mind and came here and hopefully Jack is doing what's right for once." Imogene replied.

"How could she do that?" Tosh asked.

"How could who do what?"

What's that saying? Speak of the devil and she shall appear? Gwen was standing behind them grinning. Jack had kissed her today. She knew it would happen. It was meant to be the two of them together. It was fate. Gwen was wrapped up in her own thoughts that she missed Imogene's smirk.

"I recorded myself having a little conversation with Jack. Who wants a listen?" Imogene asked.

"Let's hear it." Owen said.

Imogene pulled out her phone and played the sound file. It began with Imogene's claim that she worked hard and ended with Jack's declaration of love. Tosh's eyes were filled with tears and she smiled at Imogene. Owen grinned and patted her on the back. Gwen's eyes were filled with tears.

"Face it Gwen. You've lost." Tosh said. Gwen scowled but before she could say anything the cog door rolled backwards and Jack and Ianto came into the hub. Everyone watched as Jack stood in front of them and keeping a tight grip on Ianto's hand he bent down…

On one knee…

"Ianto I am so sorry for the way I acted today. I want you to know that despite all the flirting and mixed messages and other crap I have done to you for the past few years, there has only been one person in my heart. One person since the night I met them. I'm rubbish at this thing but what I'm trying to say is," Jack reached into his pocket and pulled out a small velvet box which he opened to reveal a silver ring.

"Ianto Jones, will you marry me?"

There was a few seconds of tense stunned silence before Ianto smiled. "Of course I'll marry you, you idiot!"

Jack put the ring onto Ianto's finger and they kissed each other. Tosh was smiling, Owen patted them on the back, Imogene was cheering and joking about a family initiation and Gwen scowled and stormed out.

"We'll deal with her later." Owen shrugged to Tosh and Imogene and they left the hub so that Jack and Ianto could celebrate their engagement properly. Needless to say, Imogene slept over at Tosh's that night.
