Characters: Spike, Edward
Time/Date: Backdated to just after this
Location: Gwen's room
Warnings/Rating: Who knows? It's Jack
Summary: Jack wants answers and to see a friendly face
Status: Private, ongoing

Jack kept an eye on the door numbers as he walked down the hall. It wasn't like this was the first time he'd woken up in a strange place. There was that time out on Jalian 17... man, did they know how to throw a party there. Nut unlike that time, him ending up here didn't involve any hyper vodkas, sex, or even a slight idea of where he was. Hopefully Gwen had some answers for him.

It only took a few minutes to locate her room and Jack knocked on the door. How long had it last been since he'd seen her? The days had blurred together, but it had to be close to a year now since he'd left her standing on top of that hill. But then again, this Gwen wasn't that one. For one, she wasn't pregnant. And for another, she had no idea that Ianto had been killed by the 456, or that Jack had been forced to sacrifice Steven.

	Gwen came to the door since she knew Jack was coming, part of her just happy to have one friendly face around. When she opened the door Jack would see a darker Gwen than the one he knew, mostly since she was reeling from losing Tosh and Owen along with the recent video post. "You are a sight for sore eyes Jack" she finally was able to get the words out. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Jack stepped forward and hugged her tightly, closing his eyes for a moment. He'd missed her, but seeing Gwen again in person only reinforced just how much he had missed his friend. "Same here," he finally replied, loosening his hold on her and smiling faintly. "I've really missed you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not even Gwen knew how much she needed something as simple as a hug and it showed. "You and me both Jack, that video just triggered a ton since besides my device I was able to warn one of the younger girls and kept her from seeing it" she finally confessed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Good," he said, nodding as listened. "Last thing this place needs is kids freaking out over those video things." Jack smiled faintly and kissed her cheek. "So fill me in. What can you tell me about this place? Do you know who brought us all here and why?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I was able to keep at least one from seeing it, others were not so lucky" as Gwen tried to fill in the blanks for Jack. "Some of the ideas were more annoying but now its grown to costumes and nothing else for clothing, as for me so far so lucky I guess" as she added in recent events. But her hand never left Jack's, needing serious connection more than she knew. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah, I saw a few of the posts people made about costumes. Some guy had a chicken one apparently. But tell me about this place. What's going on here and how were they able to just snatch everyone from space and time?" he asked curiously. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"A chocken suit?" Gwen was shocked. "But I did hear one of the American women was stuck with a very sluttly Santa dress of all things." she added. "Good question Jack, I know people are being pulled from all over since there are at least 2 from the future" thinking of Spike and Edward. "But we're overgrown lab rats to borrow from someone else we know and its like they are watching us" trying to keep memories of Owen at bay.

"Slutty Santa dress?" He perked up a little at that, wondering if said woman was still in the outfit. He set his curiosity aside though, in order to focus on current matters.

Still holding her hand, Jack led Gwen over to the sofa and sat down. "So different points in space and time, alternate realities possibly... and we're being watched. Yeah... not exactly my idea of a good time. Do we have names for our captors? Descriptions? Anything?"

"I just heard portions but it sounded pretty slutty." Gwen was honest. "Right now I know there are at least 2, maybe 3, from periods of time not like ours. As for everything else its a mystery but those costumes are just one piece of the puzzle and another clue is people being random targets of things like the costumes and even trigger filled videos". She filled in blanks,"There's also kids here, one of the oldest being 17" telling him about Violet.

	"Kids?" Jack's expression darkened and his free hand clenched into a fist. Even after all his time traveling to clear his head and soothe his conscience, kids were still a sensitive subject. His memories flashed to Steven for a moment and he asked, "How many other kids are there here? And who's looking after them to protect them?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Several teens are among the kids from what I've seen" Gwen related. "As for actual numbers I'm thinking anywhere from 6 to maybe 8 if you add in the teens" she racked her brain for the numbers. "We're all doing what we can Jack, Violet is one of the oldest of them at 17 and she's doing her best to help". (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not letting another kid get hurt. Not again, he thought to himself. Jack nodded and squeezed her hand, giving a quiet sigh. "Alright... we need to keep them safe though," he said firmly. "Whether they want us to watch over them or not." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I would start with Violet, she appears to be one of the oldest of the under 18s" Gwen squeezed Jack's hand as she spoke. "She may not take too kindly to the idea of a sitter but she may be a good ally for us too" she mused. "But that scares me more, this place is not picky if kids are being grabbed and going from what we've gone through especially". (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	j_harkness 2010-08-22 06:59 am UTC (link)
	"I'm not suggesting a sitter. But they're kids... no matter how mature they might seem, we still need to protect them." There was no room for debate. Gwen might not understand yet, but she would in the future when they faced down the 456. "I don't know what kind of experiments they run here, but not on the kids. Not while I can do something about it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coopergwen 2010-08-22 07:09 am UTC (link)
	"At least till we know what is really going on I agree to keeping a closer eye on the kids." Gwen nodded. She added,"She seems more mature than average so something is making me think something happened before she was grabbed?" hoping she was making some sense. She finally spoke,"Not much is making sense period Jack.". (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah, tell me about it." He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. "On the plus side, I don't remember you ever being kidnapped like this. So maybe when you get returned, no time has passed at all and there's no memories of it?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
