Disclaimer: I don't own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: This is a bit rushed as the deadline is approaching, so apologies for it being substandard – I've been rushed off my feet this week and haven't even had time for drabbling, but I wanted to at least get one written. I had other ideas, but they just didn't go anywhere. Thanks to all my reviwers on last week's record-breaking 7 drabbles!
A/N2: A quick reminder to biancaruth, who submitted the 100th review on this drabble collection - don't forget to claim your prize! Send me a Torchwood prompt, and I'll write you a drabble!
They'd been inseparable as children. Wherever he went, Gray would follow and he'd never minded because he'd loved his little brother and Gray had looked at him like he was a hero.
Then the monsters came and he failed to protect his brother; suddenly he didn't feel like a hero at all. He'd searched for years, but it was hopeless, the universe was too big and he was just one man.
Now Gray was back, blaming him for the hell he'd been through, wanting revenge, wanting his brother to suffer as he had. It was all Jack's fault.
Jack agreed.
The End
A/N3: That's all for this week, sorry! My poor rabbit, Misty, is still having problems with an abscess on his jaw, so he's back on antibiotics, painkillers and something else, twice a day and he's been to the vet twice this week. It means I have less time for writing, as obviously I have to put him first. I've had him 7 1/2 years so he's getting old and I worry about him.
