Notes: Chapter 19 will be split into a currently undetermined number of parts because, as I mentioned in the previous chapter's notes. this will be a COMPLETE REHAUL! The only thing staying the same is that Adam can mess with memories. Here is the prologue of my Adam re-haul.
Chapter Spoilers: 2.05 (Adam – episode cover/re-haul), 1.01 (Everything Changes – slight/reference). Doctor Who – none.
Gwen's POV
This changes everything. What is it Jack always says? "The 21st century is when it all changes." Well, my world has certainly been changed.
Looking back on my life now as tears stream freely and angrily down my face, I can pinpoint the exact moment my world was flipped upside down; meeting Jack bloody Harkness.
With his soft, creamy skin; his amazing and prominent physique, especially his arse; captivating pale blue eyes; inviting and luscious lips; and just the sound of my name on his lips – everything about him intrigued me.
The first time we talked, even if it was in front of the team, I could tell there was something between us. I know I was attracted, and I could see it in his eyes, too. I could sense the pull towards each other on the walk to and from the weevil's cell that night.
I never noticed it then, but when Jack introduced the team, or more specifically, Ianto, the same pull I feel with Jack was obviously between them, too. How could I have been so blind to it? I know Jack is supposed to be with me, I can feel it, I can sense it. But he keeps holding off.
At first I thought it was because I was with Rhys and he was being a respectable man and not interfering with an established relationship. But if Jack would have given me the word, I would have dumped Rhys and been all his.
Could Ianto have been another factor all along? But what about Lisa? He betrayed us with her, betrayed Jack. Yet Jack claims to love the insignificant and useless teaboy?! It's completely outrageous. What does Ianto have that I don't? "My heart, my love," Jack had said. Well, I should have his heart and his love.
I knew I needed to exact my revenge on Ianto Jones and get him the hell away from my man. I just needed to figure out how.
So when Owen came by to plant Rhys' false memories, and happened to bring Tosh along, I played the hysterics role perfectly and thought of a plan.
When I had them both distracted and out of the way – Owen taking care of Rhys and Tosh making tea to calm me down – I started my research. I knew Tosh always carried both of her PDAs with her after work hours. I slipped one from her bag and searched the mainframe for possible artifacts that I could use to set traps for Ianto. I knew if I could maim him, maybe paralyze him, then I could use the pheromones that Owen was using back when I first joined and seduce Jack.
What I found was even better. An alien was captured by Torchwood One that could alter and plant false memories and whoever set him free could construct a contract and would then be in control of said alien. The alien was now stored away in its box in our archives. This is perfect; it's exactly what I need. Now all I need to do is find a way to get into the archives and enslave him.
Shortly after I returned Tosh's PDA to her bag, she arrived with my tea. A sedative must have been mixed in, because all I remember after a few sips is lying on the couch. Now I'm awake. And I have a plan. Today is just the start of my revenge on one man; Ianto Jones.
