Chapter Four

Jack stared at his young lover. "What about Lisa?" He asked, hoping that he misunderstood what Ianto had said.

"She was asked if I remembered anything." Ianto sobbed in Jack's arms. "I was a job to her, just a job. Look at the mistakes I made, I nearly ruined everything with Torchwood because of her and she never loved me.

"Ianto look at me." Jack waited for the Welshman to look at him. "If it wasn't for Lisa you would never have stalked me for a job, I would never got to know you after she died. I would never have fallen in love with you. I hate the fact that she used you but I can never hate her for everything that she did because I have you and it makes it all worth while."

Ianto smiled at him, his bright blue eyes full of love. "It still hurts that I wasn't good enough to love but ending up with you. It does make it all worth while. Don't break my heart Jack, what I feel for you, I've never felt like this for anyone before."

"I just want to make you happy and love you for as long as I can." Jack frowned. "That does bring up an interesting question."

Ianto nodded cuddling closer in Jack's arms. "I didn't stay dead, can I die?"

"Exactly but saying that I'd rather that we didn't experiment with that. I think we will go along the lines that you can die and leave it at that."

"I think that is a great idea."

There was a knock at the door and slowly it opened. Gwen poked her head in. "Can I come in?" She asked.

Ianto smiled and patted to the other side of the bed nearer the end so both the two people he cared about where near. "Well, there are some interesting thing going on."

Gwen sat down and placed a hand on Ianto's leg, needing to be tactile as she did lose him. "What's going on?"

Jack and Ianto looked at each other. "Well it seems Torchwood One was experimenting on Ianto and Lisa was a part of it." Jack explained.

"Lisa?" Gwen gasped and her hand squeezed tighter.

"I was a job to her, she never loved me." Ianto said softly.

Gwen felt a tear come to her eye but she held it back how could anyone not love Ianto, their Ianto. "What's the plan?"

"They've sent for Martha as soon as we get her point of view we find out what happened to Ianto and why." Jack explained.

Gwen smiled as she watched the two men staring at each other. "I'll go and wait for Martha and explain what is going on." Getting off the bed she kisses Ianto on the cheek. "No matter what happened I am glad you are with us Ianto. I couldn't imagine Torchwood without you there."

"Thank you Gwen." Ianto replied smiling.

Jack waited for the door to close, for them to be left alone. He needed to make sure that none of this changed what he felt about his lover. He lifted Ianto's chin and lowered his his mouth, kissing him gently.

Ianto wrapped his arms around Jack's neck and fell into the kiss, opening his mouth deepening it. He needed this, needed to know that he was still him.

"Martha." Gwen called out as soon as she saw her.

Martha walked over and hugged her. "I'm so sorry about Tosh and Owen. What's going on? The doctor who called me was not exactly clear?"

"Ianto died, came back to life something to do with his blood. He dreamt that Torchwood experimented on him and Lisa pretended to love him but it's only part of her job. Jack and Ianto are in love and if I am correct currently kissing in Ianto's room."

"Ok." Martha said with a smile. "Let's start from the Ianto dying and blood aspect shall we."

Gwen laughed. "I'll take you to the doctor who requested your help."

The man stood with his back to the two women. Ianto Jones' memory was coming back. That was not allowed.

Ianto Jones had to be eliminated.
