Ianto was barely half awake, but that wasn't surprising since it was just after three in the morning, and he'd been sound asleep less than ten minutes earlier. That was Torchwood for you; the Rift and the various aliens who dropped by unannounced didn't stick to office hours.
Events that required Torchwood's attention could happen at any time, day or night, while you were having dinner, or in the bath, or in your boyfriend… Sometimes you just had to abandon whatever you were doing and stop the world from ending, even if it meant dragging yourself out of bed in the middle of the night.
Getting dressed while his brain was on standby wasn't easy, but Ianto had done it often enough by now that everything went on in the correct order, the right way out, and the right way around, mostly by feel since his eyes didn't want to open. He couldn't blame them, the rest of him would have preferred a few more hours in bed, sleeping, but Jack had called, it was an all hands on deck kind of emergency, and so…
Shoes on, coat on, out the door… Still not fully awake but working on it.
