Abscond

Here's another really short one, apologies in advance. Also… Supernatural. Is. Amazing. Ironman is officially a jerk. She got me addicted to Doctor Who and now Supernatural, and it's destroying my life. Ironman, if you're reading this, you're an evil turd. Jerk bitch ass-butt idjit bag of dicks. Now for the story.

Disclaimer: Still own nothing

Drawn by the noise, the Doctor, Martha, Gwen, Tosh and Owen appeared in the doorway. Upon seeing Jack's body on the floor, Gwen dropped to her knees beside him.

"Oh my God, what happened!" cried Martha, horrified.

"Ianto?"

Ianto raised the gun, holding it on Owen. "What are you doing?" Owen said evenly. "Ianto?"

Ianto fired, but Owen dove out of the way, giving Ianto just enough room to push through the door. Martha was on her knees with Gwen.

The Doctor took a step toward Ianto, who was backing away down the catwalk. "Hey, calm down. Put down the gun. Come on. It's alright. I know who you are, you don't have to be afraid." He held out his hand, but Ianto didn't move.

"Doctor, he's dead!" said Martha, fighting back tears. "I'm sorry."

Gwen rested a hand on her shoulder. "It's alright. He'll be alright."

"What do you-?"

With a hoarse gasp, Jack sat bolt upright, gasping and clutching Gwen's arm. "Ianto! Where's Ianto!" Martha screamed and toppled backwards. At the same moment, Ianto sprinted away across the catwalk and down the stairs, and Owen gave chase.

The Doctor squatted urgently down next to Jack. "Tell me what happened."

Jack shook his head. "I don't know. He just…he just opened the watch and then he shot me."

"Ianto shot you?" said Tosh in disbelief.

"Not Ianto," said the Doctor quietly. "The Time Lord who created him." All eyes turned to him. He straightened up and turned away to face the window, shovinghis hands into his pockets.

Martha was still gaping at Jack's living body. "How…How did you…?"
The Doctor leaned over and squeezed her shoulder. "Martha, it's okay. Don't worry about it."

"Don't worry about it!" Martha shrieked, allowing herself to be pulled to her feet. "He was dead!"

"And now he's alive."

"But-how?"

Jack stood up. "I've been meaning to ask you that myself," he said.

The Doctor opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, they heard Owen's voice shouting. "He's taken the phone box! Doctor! Jack! Ianto's in the alien phone box!" In an instant, the Doctor was up and running with Jack and the others hot on his heels, but by the time they reached the courtyard, the police box had vanished.

Apologies again for the brevity. I needed to stop at the TARDIS vanishing or there wouldn't have been another good place to stop for a long time. So, it's over. I'm sorry. I know your heart is just broken but you have to be strong.

All reviews appersheated.

So what I neglected to mention was that this entire story stemmed from wanting to write the scene with Ianto and Jack being sad because Ianto knew he needed to open the watch. And from there it grew. Into this.

Also, because I love you all so much, I will post the next chapter tomorrow! After I see AVENGERS! Rather excited. Can you tell? 'Cause I am.
