Who: Martha Jones and JAck Harkness What: Dealing, getting back to work, the world needs saving... even if someone is missing When: December 7. Where: Martha's place, then the hub. Why: Ianto is gone again... =(
It was something she had learned a long time ago, working for UNIT, traveling with the Doctor, and now working for Torchwood. There were lessons that went along with the job, and the most paramount among them was that a quiet period would always be followed by an event of some catastrophic proportion. Whether it was the Nexus that had swallowed Jack - which she still hadn't gotten all the answers about yet - or the invasion by the Skrull, or Ianto's disappearance... something they'd been working to avoid, downtime was great when it was short, but long periods of it precipitated doom...
It had been a fitful sleep that Martha had woken from that morning. She'd been tossing and turning all night, Ianto's disappearance wasn't sitting well. She missed him. They'd worked so hard to try and keep him there with them that it was like pushing a knife through their persons when it didn't work, when he wound up vanishing again. Tosh said that the odds were he'd reappear, but until it happened...
Martha pushed herself into a seated position and looked around her room. They'd finally gotten all of her things moved into her new flat, but it didn't feel like home yet. Something was off... terribly off. Jack was missing. Martha tried to remember. He'd come over the night beore but she didn't remember him leaving. Maybe he'd gone back to the hub.
Even with the arrival of Robert - who seemed to be keeping Jack distracted, sort of becoming one of the team, even though he had yet to be properly field tested, - Martha was worried. If he wasn't here then he was definately at the hub. Getting up, she started padding around looking for him, if she didn't find him then she'd leave at once...
