Ianto nods slowly, obviously a little worried, so Owen gives him a small smile.
"Right so what is our plan once we get there?" Gwen asks looking around at the others.
"We will decide that when we get there and access the situation." Owen states.
Ten minutes later, the four of them head cautiously into the bar. Gwen and Ianto go in the front way, while Owen and Tosh take the back.
"….time was you couldn't get enough of me on your territory." A voice says from the other side of the door. Owen recognized it as the same man's voice from the hologram.
As they get closer to the main doors inside, someone shoots at the glass on the doors smashing it.
"Alright. Everybody out!"
Owen hears Gwen's voice as he and Tosh enter the room. "Everything alright Jack?"
"It's ok, ok…ok." Jack replies and as Owen enters he sees that Jack is holding up his arms to stop anyone from shooting.
"You've got a team, how sweet." The man from the hologram says looking around. "Oh pretty little friends, no blonde though…you need blonde…"
"Oh god he's worse than Jack." Owen says cutting him off.
"Ho ho, do you have a team name? Love team names. Go on…"
"Torchwood." Jack states
"Oh. Not Excalibur? Uh, Blizzard? Bikini Cops? No? Torchwood. Oh, dear."
Jack then looks over and points to each team member in turn. "Gwen Cooper, Ianto Jones, Toshiko Sato, Owen Harper, meet…"
"Captain John Hart…"
"We go back."
"Excuse me? We more than go back, we were partners…" Captain John replies
"In what way?" Ianto asks.
"In every way and then some."
"It was two weeks…" Jack speaks again.
"Except that two weeks was trapped in a time loop, so we were together for five years. It was like having a wife."
Owen tries to hold back a laugh imagining it. 'I bet he would have made a good wife too' He thinks to himself.
"You were the wife." Jack exclaims.
"You were the wife." Captain John Hart says flirtingly.
"No, you were the wife." Jack keeps it going.
"Oh but I was a good wife." John replies rolling on the balls of his feet and getting in Jacks face.
"I bet you were!" Toshiko adds to John grinning. John grins back.
Owen turns to her and looks questionably at her.
"What, don't pretend you haven't noticed. He's cute." She says to him
John Hart turns to Owen, "You're just shy."
Owen glances over at Ianto noting how amazingly hot he looks holding up the gun and smiles. "No. I am not shy. Just don't think you are cute."
John chuckles "Oh really? Like I said, just shy. Now …" John turns back to Jack as he brings up a hologram on his wrist strap. "Been working with this woman; beautiful, clever, sexy…yadda yadda yadda … and we both get shot, as she's dying, she begs me… she tells me about these radio cluster bombs she's been working on."
Owen cuts in. "Whoa I don't like the sound of that."
John carries on. "Three canisters, contents beyond toxic, swallowed up in a rift storm…"
"And ended up here." Tosh states.
"Bingo." John says looking at her now. "That's the downside of your city being built on a rift of space and time. Now left to their own devices, their radiation will break down the canisters and then affect your people and planet. They need to be neutralized." John finishes and closes the hologram of the canister.
Jack chuckles a little. "What do you get out of this?"
"Dying woman's wish?" John answers back with a small shrug. "Now there's only one problem… I don't know where they are, hoping local knowledge might help?"
"When we get back to the Hub, I can run a city wide scan on radiation surges; cross reference that with rift activity during that time span." Tosh pipes up.
"What are you, brains and the beauty? See? Together it's an easy job."
"We do this… you get out of here when it's finished, right away." Jack says stepping closer to John.
"Does this mean I get to see your house?" John smiles a little, shrugging when Jack gives him a look.
In the taxi back to the Hub, which the girls had decided to call for the two men, so they could have time alone to talk, Ianto tuns to Owen. "Ok so what is wrong? Talk now?"
Owen sighs and nods trying to think of the right words. "I… I just don't want HIM getting in the way of us… or trying to get you back. Not when he chose to run off and leave you and now that I have you." He says finally looking at the Welshman.
"Even if he tried I wouldn't go back to him. I am happily with you; anything he does will never change that, ok?" Ianto says softly.
Owen nods and thinks back to the past few weeks, shuddering at the memory of what had happened to his coffee boy in that room. 'I can't loose you now…' He thinks to himself.
"What is it?" Ianto asks.
Owen sees the younger man watching him closely. "Just a memory, don't worry Love." He replies and reaches out to gently stroke the other mans cheek with his thumb causing the Welshman to shiver.
"Ok, so where you taking me for our first date?" Ianto chuckles.
Owen smiles at that, glad to be talking about something else. "Oh you will see. Now what are we going to do about this Hart guy? Did Jack ever mention him to you?"
Ianto shakes his head. "No he didn't … but I have a bad feeling about him."
Owen nods. "Glad I ain't the only one. So what shall we do?"
"I guess just do whatever Jack says and be cautious of him? That's all we can do for now." Owen nods and falls silent thinking. "Hey, it will be alright Cariad, don't worry." Owen feels Ianto's hand on his thigh, rubbing gently and looks down at it smiling a little. "It better be, you have already been through enough over the past month." He replies quietly and feels the younger man tense up beside him. "Sorry, talk about something else. So now that Jack is back he can stay at the Hub and look after things. We can go on that date …" He says softly hoping to get Ianto's mind off the other subject.
The Welshman slowly relaxes again beside him. "Oh this I would love to see, you behave and eat nicely at a restaurant." Ianto laughs a little.
Owen smiles, "Oi! I can behave if I want to you know." He exclaims with a serious look on his face.
"Oh yeah I am sure you can." Ianto answers with his eye roll tone.
"I can! I will prove it to you, and don't roll those beautiful blue eyes of yours at me." Owen declares.
"Why not?" Ianto asks.
At that, Owen runs his hand down the other mans chest slowly, moving towards his crotch. "Because I will do this." He says as he carries on down teasingly causing Ianto to shiver under the touch.
"Owen… we are in a …" He doesn't get to finish that sentence as Owen reaches his crotch and gently squeezes him through the trousers.
"Taxi? Yes I know, but you know…" Owen grins before adding "I like to please."
The Welshman moans quietly as Owen continues to squeeze him.
