A/N: Episode title = drabble title. It's just easier that way
A/N2: Special thanks to timelordshines who read through three versions of this, helping me to turn it into something good enough to post.
Thanks for your reviews, everyone! Keep 'em coming, we're nearly at the 400 review mark and as usual, whoever submits the 400th review gets to have a drabble written for their own prompt. (I haven't forgotten I owe a drabble for the 300th review for DarqueQueen7 - I'm just a bit behind as always, lol!)
I love Janto: Ianto would have done anything to save Lisa, because when he loves someone, he does so with his whole heart and mind. He just didn't understand that his Lisa was already gone, which just makes it all even more tragic.
Thank you, there will hopefully be many more drabbles to come!
Torchwood One grew too big for their boots, its leaders forgetting the Institute's true purpose – to protect earth from alien threats – in their greedy quest for more power over the rest of humanity, regardless of the cost. When Canary Wharf fell, Jack felt guilty for momentarily thinking they'd got what they deserved. So many innocent lives lost…
On taking charge of Three, Jack had declared they would cease following One's lead. They would be better; loyal, brave, compassionate, eliminating threats while defending the innocent, regardless of species.
Now, despite being battle-scarred and broken by life, his team make him proud.
The End
