Chapter nine

The conclusion

Somewhere

The thunder rolls over behind them, the darkness comes furiously. Jack Harkness firmly holds his young lover’s hand. Not this time…. Not again…. Not him.…….. He can feel the anger of their pursuers, the excitedly desire to catch them; to destroy Ianto. He doesn’t understand why they play with him like this, like a cat that plays with a mouse. He doesn’t know how to fight them, but he knows he will fight until the end. Ianto is still alive, and nothing is more important to that. So they run; they run as if the death cannot catch them. Suddenly, a scream cuts through the air and it’s like cold fingers are squeezing at Jack’s heart. They have caught Ianto.

One month before

In the Hub laughter explodes everywhere, the team is happy. They caught two weevils and aliens artifact within the same day and nobody has been hurt. With pizza’s slices in each hand, Owen explains how they trapped the last weevil whilst Jack was attacked by an old woman in an alley.

“So we had been running after this weevil and then we passed in front of these old ladies. She looks calmly at the weevils, Gwen and me, then when it was Jack’s turn she hit him with her bag. We heard her shout and she say something about the protection of animals. I turned my head to see what had happened and Jack was trying to protect himself with his arms in front of his face saying: Ladies, please… I’m Torchwood, stop!”

Another giggle sounds in the space.

“But it was so scary! She attacked me violently, I swear, weevils are nothing compared to her!”

“After Owen and I captured the weevil and put it in the SUV, we came back for Jack. It was soooo funny! Sorry Jack! But really, to see you begging her to stop and to hear you trying to explain that the animal will be correctly treated was the funniest thing I’d seen in my life!!”

This time, even Jack laughs with this last line. Everybody eats and talks with enthusiasm. Then, something catches Jack’s eyes, Ianto smiles. Inside him, warmth builds like a ball, he feels suddenly weak and strong at the same time. He’s so beautiful…..

Somewhere

At first, Ianto feels pain in his back, like knives have pierced him. Then, something grasps him and it’s like he’s being sucked violently into the darkness. The last thing he hears is the awful scream from someone who has it all to lose, he hears his own scream.

One month before

Jack looks at his team as they leave the hub. The day was hard, but at the end they had a great moment together. Jack smiles, standing up with a jump and walks directly to the conference room. Ianto Jones is there, he cleans up the place. When he enters the room Ianto looks at him, a pizza box in his hand and a garbage bag in the other.

“Sir? May I help you with something?”

“Oh yes you can…..”

Like a wildcat, he walks directly to the young man and grasps him. His mouth attacks Ianto’s lips, tasting like a cat tastes the perfect flavour of desire in cream. Ianto responds immediately, taking the time to caress and touch Jack’s mouth, to savour and feel the powerful sensation that transcends this intimate moment. Jack……

Somewhere

Ianto Jones feels like his body doesn’t belong to him anymore. Terror takes him, his body shaking violently. Around him illuminate fire flies, pinching him painfully every time they touch him. He wants to cry, he feels so lost, so alone. Then, he hears a voice, a familiar voice that approaches him quickly. Now, the voice is a shout and arms are holding him, comforting him.

“Stop! IT’S ENOUGH!!!!”

Suddenly the darkness and the presence vanish in the air. Ianto holds his breath; he waits, trying to find courage in Jack’s presence. A moment later evil laughs echo loudly and four forms appear in front of them. Tall and strong men stand in the place, vaporous and tangible but at the same time, terribly threatening.

“Well, well, it’s been a long time Captain Jack Harkness......”

“We missed you....”

“We are so happy to play with you again....”

“We love your new pet......”

The voices are cold and broken, like nails on a black board. Ianto feels shivers cross his body, the embrace tightens. Jack’s voice resonates in the air and Ianto thinks at this moment that it’s the most beautiful sound he has ever heard.

“Why him? Why do you play with him like this?”

“We love to play.....”

“It’s the first time we found a toy like him..... he’s unique.....”

“How is he unique for you?”

“At first we didn’t understand.....”

“We played with the others..... but him..... he was not afraid..... he was happy....”

“We didn’t understand.... we were furious.....then you arrived...... the famous Captain Harkness.....”

“We missed you so much.....”

“We knew we couldn’t play with you..... but we realised that we could play with you through him.....”

“Why is he unique for you? ANSWER ME!!”

“We love to play.....”

“We love a challenge....”

“We found inside him so much pain, so much terror..... so many wounds not yet healed.....”

“We understood then that playing didn’t work with him because the darkness was already there....”

“We realised that he’s strong enough to play with for a long time.... we realised that it was a way of playing with you Jack Harkness....”

“You’ve played enough..... let him go.....”

“No.....”

Ianto witnesses the scene without reaction. He’s petrified, he realises that he’s just a pawn in an awful chess game. He was just the instrument for hurting Jack.

“Jack.... I’m sorry....”

Strong hands take his face, intense eyes look at him, a soft voice caresses his ears.

“Ianto listen to me. They take their energy from fear, from terror. They poison their victims by the ball of glass, they play with illusions.”

“Jack.... I’m so sorry....”

“Shhhhhhh..... close your eyes Ianto Jones, it’s not a dream..... Focus on my voice..... We’re gonna fight them.... together....”

“Jack.....”

“Ianto, my beautiful boy..... The only thing they can’t have control of is happiness.... love.... They are right Ianto, you are unique.... when I think about you I feel warmth inside, when I hold you it’s like my life was nothing before you.... When I kiss you, my heartbeat goes faster..... Ianto Jones when you smile it’s like the world around me explodes into a thousand stars.....”

At this moment Ianto knows the powerful sensation of beginning to feel alive; he has a reason to fight. The voices shout like a storm around them.

“We refuse to let him go!!!”

“He’s our now!!!!”

“WE WANT TO PLAY AGAIN!!!!!”

“Not anymore....” Murmurs Ianto into Jack’s ear.

Then Ianto Jones kisses tenderly his lover’s mouth. Like a precious and fresh fruit, he presses delicately his lips to Jack’s, trying to savour all the subtle tastes of this fabulous man. When Jack’s mouth softly opens Ianto feels thunder inside him, the world around them disappears, the terror goes away. He knows that they have won. A moment after the world around then explodes.

Now

Owen can’t believe what is happening. The day was awful, he feels weak, he doesn’t know anymore what is real and what’s is an illusion. Two bodies lie in front of him, he hesitates to even touch them. He’s a doctor, he’s supposed to do something. He feels groggy, like he’s in a nightmare. He sways softly trying to find comfort, like the lost child he was before. Then, something happens, with a start, the two bodies wake up with a profound sigh.

“Jack? Ianto? Are you all right?”

“Now we are Owen....”

With this word, Jack caresses Ianto face and holds him tenderly. His young lover opens his eyes and smiles at him. Then, he turns his head and looks at his teammate.

“Thanks Owen.... for being there....”

“No problem mate....”

In Cardiff city, the night is beautiful, the stars twinkle in the sky, the tourists have a great time, the world is safe. On the ground, next to the quay, alone in an alley, three men stand. Two of them are in an embrace and the third one has a hand on the younger one. They all smile; they all need to touch each other to be sure they are alive. In this beautiful night in Cardiff, three men look at the sky and see the beauty of the stars.
