"Ok, well if I were to book you into see a councilor or something, would you go?"
Ianto shakes his head. "Can't I talk to you instead?"
Owen sighs, "That's not really my area of expertise Ianto. You can talk to me about it but you really need to talk to someone who is an expert in that area."
"Alright, do you think it will help?"
"Honestly? I don't know Ianto it depends on a few things. Like I said though, you need to talk to someone who is an expert."
"I will give it a try then, I suppose." Ianto sighs.
Owen cups the Welshman's cheek in his hand and kisses him. "Thank you, as I said, you can still talk to me too if you need to ok?" Ianto nods slowly and remains quiet so Owen gets up and goes to walk out, when he feels a hand on his arm holding him there.
"I don't want to be alone, please stay?" He pleads softly, just loud enough for Owen to hear.
"Alright," The Londoner replies and sits back down. "So how about tomorrow you and me go out, just us, and go see a movie or something? Have a nice calm and relaxing day… I will get Tosh and Gwen to look after things for the day."
The Welshman smiles a little at that. "That would be good, thank you. Owen?"
"Yes Yan?"
"What are you going to do with James?" Ianto asks
Owen thinks about how to answer. "Don't worry I am not going to kill him, just make him wish he was dead." 'Maybe lock him in with Janet… or introduce him to MyFanwy …' He adds to himself and holds back a chuckle.
"I want to talk to him before you do whatever it is you are going to do to him."
"That's not a good idea Ianto…" Owen says not liking that idea.
"I know but I need to … please?"
Owen sighs, "Only if I am there too. I don't trust him to not try anything again."
Ianto nods and takes a few deep breaths. "I need you to be there with me anyway. Ok come on then, I want to get this done now." He gets up and pushes in his chair.
"Alright. You going to be ok?"
"As long as you are there, yes." Ianto replies softly
"Ok, come on then." Owen says hesitantly and feels Ianto place his hand in his own. Walking down to the cells, hand in hand, Owen catches the terrified look on Ianto's face. "You don't have to do this Yan,"
"Yes I do. I need to find out more …" The Welshman responds turning to face him.
"But I can do that, you don't need to be in the same room."
"I will be ok." Ianto shrugs
Owen sighs and nods, holding the Welshman's hand tightly in his, walking them down the stairs leading to the cells. Half way down the stairs, he feels Ianto freeze up, so he stops and pulls him into a kiss. To his relief Ianto reacts and deepens it, placing both his hands on his cheeks. Owen smiles into the kiss and places his own hands on the Welshman's neck gently, smiling more when he feels him relax fully. A few minutes later, Owen breaks the kiss and smiles softly at Ianto. "I will be with you the whole time, if it gets to much just say and we can go ok?"
The other man nods and places his hand back in Owen's, with a small smile on his face.
A minute later they are both standing in front of the cell where James is, Ianto still relaxed and Owen glaring in at James.
"What do you two want?" James demands coldly
"I want you dead but that's not going to hap…" Owen says but stops when Ianto glances at him.
"I need to know more, ok? If you don't tell me what I need to know, I will let Owen put you in with the Weevil next to you." Ianto suggests.
James has a scared look on his face for a few seconds but then goes back to being tough. "Oh I am sure you wouldn't. It isn't you to let people get hurt …"
Ianto cuts in, "Oh isn't it? Don't pretend you know me, cause you don't. Now you're going to answer my questions, unless you want to be put in with the weevil, like I said."
James goes silent, causing Owen to chuckle, which gets him a look from Ianto. "Ok so I take that as a you're going to co operate? Good, now … why did Clive need me really?"
"We all needed you, we all had friends at Canary Wharf and wanted more information on what really happened that day. Since you are archivist for Torchwood we thought you might be able to tell us or get us more." James tells Ianto, looking directly at him.
"Well I was there and trust me you don't want to know. I still have nightmares about it, is that the only reason?" Owen squeezes his hand reassuringly, and watches him carefully looking for any signs that he wasn't ok. Seeing none he gently strokes Ianto's hand with his thumb, turning back to face James.
James remains silent for a moment, "Well I thought you looked gorgeous and that I had to have you," He smirks in Owen's direction and chuckles seeing the glare he got in return. "Oh come on! I'm sure you agree with me Owen? He is rather…"
"He is gorgeous, yes, but that's not the point!" Owen hisses at James trying to remain calm for Ianto.
"You're right, it isn't the point, the point is that I got to him before you did and let me tell you, he is good." James smirks.
Owen glares at James wanting to kill him right there and then.
Ianto must have seen something on his face as he speaks. "Owen ignore him ok? Don't let him get to you," He says quietly looking directly at Owen.
"I can't just ignore him Yan … I want to throw him in with Janet … or cover him in BBQ sauce and let MyFanwy have a piece of him." He smirks at the idea.
"What's he talking about?!" James shouts looking worriedly at Ianto.
"Oh Janet is what we named the Weevil in the cell beside you, and MyFanwy… she's our guard dog.. well Pterosaur really…" Owen grins at the look on James's face.
"What! How? They are extinct …"
"Not this one." He replies looking proudly at Ianto, who has a slight smile on his face.
"And she hasn't had human in a while…" Ianto adds grinning back at Owen.
"No she hasn't..." Owen smirks back happy that Ianto is going along with it. "When was the last time she was feed? She must be hungry by now?"
James shrieks loudly, "Alright! I'm sorry!" He shouts to Owen then turns to Ianto, "Please don't let him feed me to the dinosaur!"
Ianto grins mischievously, "Oh I can't control him… he is his own man after all."
Owen catches a wink from Ianto and grins more.
