Spoiler alert: End Of Days, Utopia

Beta-ed: TattooedLibrarian


Jack felt every little string of energy that was lost to Abaddon. He almost believed that he would lose, that he would die, but then Abaddon fell when his consciousness was slipping away. It was most painful death ever, and he had his share of deaths. The darkness continued on and on and he felt Abaddon in the dark, angry and incompetent. But he could keep Jack like Suzie said, he was coming for him after all, for all the life he possessed. There was no way back, he couldn't feel his body anywhere, he gave up, but then he felt something on his lips, something familiar. It was a kiss; his body was there he just had to move it. It was hard because his energy wasn't back yet but he managed to say 'thank you' and then he lifted his eyelids that weighed a ton. There she was, Gwen Cooper waiting for him to come back home, believing in him. After everything, she stood there and her smile lit up his chest and he managed to smile. Being alive wasn't such bad thing.

She helped him stand up and gave him his clothes. His coat wasn't there, it was cold without it, and he was cold. He held her hand while they climbed the stairs; the warmth of her palm was soothing. He stopped at the sight Tosh and Ianto; they were there as he left them, safe. Tosh crushed herself in him welcoming him back. He watched over her head as Ianto stood up and approached him with disbelief in his eyes. Ianto lowered his eyes to hide emotions like he usually did and put out his hand in search of a handshake. Jack smiles at his attempt to stay distant so he pulled him near to feel his presence. The young man clinched to him grabbing him tightly and Jack could feel his erratic breathing as he buried his face in his shoulder. Jack pulled away to look at Ianto and as their eyes met he could see all of his emotions trapped in them and he pulled him in a kiss as he should have a long time ago. Ianto's lips lock firmly on his and he felt how Ianto leaned into it just to pull back. But then there is Owen with his stunned guilt and he walked towards him to forgive him like he decided he would a long time ago. It's an easy thing to forgive really, he shot him for the greater good, Jack survived and they managed to preserve the world they all live in.

After that they all gather around in Jack's office and he took his coat pulling it on. It was nice and warm. He sat and they all started to talk trying to explain themselves, talking about the ghosts that they had seen. Only Ianto stayed quiet, Tosh said on his behalf that he saw Lisa. Of course he did, who else would it have been? Ianto looked away when their eyes met. Jack was tired. The coffee machine was broken so Ianto went out in search for coffee, Tosh and Owen decided that he needed a hand and Jack welcomed the silence.

Gwen sat on his table talking, asking, and smiling. She was glad he was back and that was a nice feeling. Her prying about his loved ones however wasn't nice. The string of his deceased loved ones was long but he wouldn't have welcomed them nor would they have welcomed him. Bitterness came between them long before the end, and thrust was rarely even established. While they were talking Jack went through the reports of recent events that were waiting for him on his desk. They were sorted by importance and that made it clear that Ianto had put them there. That sign of welcome was also nice.

"What vision would have temped you to open the Rift" asked Gwen and he thought about it.

"The right kind of Doctor" he said knowing that even Abaddon couldn't produce a false Doctor; he was too old and too complicated to reproduce. Then he got up to get away from the questions. Maybe he had come back, and now they all knew, but that didn't mean he was too eager to answer their questions. He learned to hate those, it always brought misunderstandings to his life.

"Where are they with those coffees" he asked wishing they would hurry up.

Everything was going back to normal, he thought but then he lifted his head, the sound he was waiting for was there. Sound of the Tardis came through his alarm speaker by the Doctor's hand. His Doctor detector went off. For a second Jack smiled stunned but then he jumped up, grabbed empty backpack he kept in cabinet beside the container with the hand. Luckily the hand was already detached as others had tried to repair its supply unit. Jack pushed the jar into his bag. He wasn't paying attention to the mess he was creating. There is no time; he didn't think about anything but to reach Doctor in time. Of course Abaddon had attracted the Doctor. The Doctor had a trouble detector but he often had landed slightly off. When he realised that everything was over he would slip away. He pushed the button for invisible lift, which he navigated to be right next to the Doctor's parking space, but it just opened up and let the draft in, it had broken in an earthquake caused by Abaddon. Jack ran through corridors as fast as he could. The corridors that led to the docks were never so long. Jack ran across the Plaza shouting 'Doctor!', trying to attract his attention but the Tardis had already started to make its starting sound so he jumped clinging to the side of it. Jack shouted all the way through the temporal tunnel but he didn't let go. He survived Abaddon, this was almost fun in comparison.
