Shhhhh…. Close your eyes Ianto Jones, it’s not a dream….
Chapter one
Thirty-six hours before the confrontation on the roof
“Right, so if you need to contact me use my cell, it will always be on. If you have any problems what so ever I will be back faster than any of you can blink.”
“Jack, don’t worry! We’ll be fine. We’re not kids, we’re Torchwood.”
“I know Gwen, but that’s what I’m so afraid of…”
“Jack…”
“Anyway! I have to go at London for a meeting with the Prime Minister, however boring that might sound., Do you want me to bring you a souvenir?”
“Like what?”
“I don’t know… Big Ben in cheese? Or, no, wait, I know a place where they sell these little toys you can play with Rhys with. They’re called The Big Ben head search, really exciting and…”
“Jaaack!”
A laugh explodes in the main office and sounds out through the Hub. Toshiko raises her eyes from her computer screen and looks into the office. She smiles, happiness is something she never has had enough of, and she feels like she always needs it. At her side, Owen just mutters something about work privileges. He looks Gwen directly in the eyes as they leave Jack’s office and takes the stairs to go and join them. Somewhere, almost in the shadows, Ianto Jones silently picks up all the dishes and others things that lie forgotten around the place. He’s elegant, his suit is perfectly fitted, everyone of his movements illustrate his professionalism. He is a good tea boy. He doesn’t seem to have heard the laugh, but in reality he has heard it all. He closes his eyes for a moment and tries to stop the wave of jealousy that begins to build inside him. You’re pathetic Ianto Jones he thinks to himself angrily.
“I’m going to be gone for two days. If you need to contact me, use my cell. Don’t start playing heroes whilst I’m away ok? Look after each other, don’t forget you are a team, all of you.”
The team nods and Jack smiles. He’s so proud of his brilliant members. He trusts all of them: his so talented Toshiko, his exceptional medic and his beautiful Gwen. Slowly, he turns his head to where his youngest member stands. He has to restrain himself to not run forward and hug him. He looks so alone. Then, something breaks inside him, this is all so wrong. He promises himself that he will do something on his return. Ianto Jones doesn’t deserve to be alone, not anymore…
Jack Harkness glances at his team once more and then walks away. When he passes Ianto he softly caresses his shoulder, but doesn’t meet his gaze. He can feel shivers flowing through Ianto’s body. It’s too soon to show more, but he swears all that will change on his return.
Twenty-four hours after Jack had left
A scream breaks through the air of the Hub; objects crash to the ground, fear deforms Toshiko’s face. She shakes hysterically; every time even Ianto tries to touch her she pushes away his hands furiously.
“They’re everywhere! Lizards…. They’re are all around me! Trying to bite me…. Nooo! They’re on my legs!!!!! Noooooo!”
Ianto stands beside her, trying to grip her shoulders to calm her, as there is nothing around or even on her body. She looks crazy, scratching desperately at her skin, like she trying to escape something invisible. She begins to hurt herself, bleeding wounds appearing on her pale skin. Something’s wrong, something’s really wrong and Ianto Jones doesn’t know what to do. He’s alone with her; the others are on a mission, rift activity. Jack, he’s in London, too far away to help. He’s all his own.
“Tosh! Please look at me, there is nothing there, just you and me. You’re safe.”
“Noooo! Don’t hurt me! Please…. It burns…. It hurts…”
He knows she doesn’t see him; she’s panicking beyond all control. He doesn’t understand, he feels weak, useless like the day with Lisa at Canary Wharf. Suddenly, Ianto can’t breathe, his lungs are burning. What’s happening? What’s happening to me? Then, he sees butterflies flying everywhere in the hub, a hundred multicolor butterflies twirling around him as if in a dance, blinding and confusing him. Suddenly he feels so light, it’s seems as if his feet are no longer touching the ground anymore. He feels so free and Toshiko’s scream is so far away now….
