I promised two updates so I will deliver two updates :) just finished writing reset, not as happy with it as others but I'll re read it at least 4 times before you see it so should be up to scratch by the time it's up here.

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?

Nelly Furtado- All good things

Captain Jack Harkness: part 3

'Oh! Oh! You made it! You made it! Oh, Tosh come here! Come here!'

She knew she was back home, she could hear Gwen's voice from outside and she'd seen Jack's coat as he left through the door. Pip hung back behind her and she listened through the door, fingering past Jack's borrowed shirt.

'Have you seen Nemo?' Jack asked from the other side of the door, he sounded worried.

'I found her jacket but... she wasn't with you?'

'She was but she must have fallen through the rift to somewhere else. She could be anywhere. We've got to get back to the hub and find her. She wasn't in 1941 so…'

'Yeah I was.' She walked through the front doors of the building out onto the street and stood in the sun for a moment admiring Cardiff. 'Come on Pip, let's get home.' She walked down the steps towards the SUV but Jack, Tosh and Gwen blocked her way.

'What happened?' Tosh asked.

'I tripped, fell a few miles east rather than here. Nothing spectacular.'

'What happened to your top?' Gwen pointed out.

Winter glanced down and then back up to Gwen, calculating what to say. Jack's eyes widened in surprise as he recognised the shirt.

She looked away from him and mumbled. 'It got lost.'

Gwen opened her mouth to speak again but Jack interfered , 'Gwen how about you take Tosh back to the Hub, we'll meet you there.'

The two women looked at Jack and Winter then at each other with a wariness that something was going on but they eventually nodded and left.

Jack stood on the steps as she leant on the stone banister, 'I want to show you something,' he told her. They got into the SUV and drove in awkward silence all the way out to the self storage unit they had visited when Suzie returned. He pulled open one of the sections and led her inside. On shelves and in boxes around the room were objects and pictures, clothes and records.

'Who's is all this,' she asked, picking up a picture.

'Mine,' he replied, pulling out a box from the bottom of a pile.

'Really? What's it all here for.'

'It means it's safe and out'a the way.'

'Painful memories?'

He made a humming noise and pulled a paper bag out of the box. He sighed and handed it to her. Pip reached for it but Jack pulled it back from him. The monkey squeaked indignantly and went back to the car in a huff.

Winter reached out and took the bag pulling out a shirt she knew, 'Where did you get this?' she asked, though she already knew the answer. She fingered the crumbling glitter of the faded fox and he smiled.

'Beautiful woman who appeared on Westminster Bridge in 1941.'

She blushed and put it back in the bag holding it back to him.

'Now about what happened…'

'Nothing happened!' she shot back.

He stepped closer and pulled down her collar revealing the small round mark they both knew his mouth had made. She shrugged him off and wrapped her arms around herself. He smiled and bent down to her height.

'I have to remember to give you champagne more often.'

She blushed as he laughed and ducked her head, 'Shut up.'

He continued to chuckle so she looked up at him through her eyelashes and went with her instinct, she kissed him quiet. He seemed surprised but tangled a hand in her hair. After a few seconds they pulled back and she spoke. 'If any of the others hear about this I'll lock you in a cell with Janet.'

'If you can catch me,' he joked.

'I could always just blackmail you, Valentine.'

He winced then smirked at her, wrapping an arm around her waist as they headed back to the car. The drive was relatively silent and before he returned to the rest of the team he turned and called to her as she locked up the garage. 'That shirt really does suit you.'

She smiled shyly and headed to her room to change it before anyone saw. She hung the shirt up in her cupboard and pulled a black top from her draw before checking herself in the mirror.

'Oh Scrap, why do you always fall for the ones you can't have?' she sighed.

TTT

Winter headed back up to the hub in time to see Owen finishing bandaging his shoulder.

'What the hell happened to you?'

He looked up at her angrily, 'The idiot over there shot me.'

She glanced over to Ianto who rolled his eyes and went back to Tosh's computer. She smiled slyly and put her hands on Ianto's shoulders kissing his cheek and disappearing into the kitchen.

'Thank you.'

They watched her go and Owen scowled.

…

'Gits.'

[Well well well, it appears we only have one episode left. I doubt it will be up for tomorrow … and I've just remembered I forgot to give some homework in on Friday…bother, anyway as I was saying…oh! My sister just brought me some cake! ( my family may think I'm writing a history essay)…as I was saying it may not be up for a day or too but hopefully it's worth it, then I have a mini surprise up my sleeve]

['sonotalady': sorry, yes the second review response was for you :) good luck with the exam. I've got a history mock on Thursday and that's enough to drive me mad! Sorry for making you feel sad with the 'Ben' chapter on my companion piece though, the next one's a little more amusing.]
