The further determining of is-she-or-isn't-she Tosh
Continued from here

As expected, John returns to the medbay not long after he left. Jack hears the "did you miss me" call, rolls his eyes, and turns his head to call back, "No! You'd have to be gone a lot longer than that." And seeing the blood on John's face, he opens up the drawer with the bandaging in it. "Want to get cleaned up while I configure it?"

He figures Tosh and Ianto have heard the commotion and will be expecting them back up at the sofa, but he wants the equipment ready to go first. And it wouldn't hurt to re-familiarize himself with it, too, so he can better answer any curious questions they have about it.

"You'll rarely, very rarely hear me say this, but I vouch for John on this. It's just how they are." Urk. Moving on!

"Put it on your head, and maybe later you'll get to play with it! There might be a bedazzler buried around somewhere..." As if Tosh's idea of improving the thing is glitzing it up-- he knows when it comes to her, it'd turn into some amazing, sleek, high-functioning-- right, tangents. "And if you order now, you'll also get these bonus cuff bracelets absolutely free!" Those are offered over as well, and they at least look less ridiculous than the head piece.

"My lucky day." She holds out her wrists and leans her head forward. "Alright, let's get this over with. And Jack? Please... never mention a bedazzler again."

He gives her hair a light touch and shows her the cuffs. "Separate, see, not joined. Just like bracelets. Is that all right?"

He puts an arm around Tosh, wanting to support her as much as he can while she goes through this.

She smiles at Ianto, quietly whispering "Thank you." She nods to Jack. "It's fine. I'm ready."

John watches with feigned interest. He doesn't have any questions, so he doesn't really care about these tests. He wonders if it would be bad taste to pretend to sleep or make robot noises. He gives Tosh an encouraging nod instead.

"Doesn't hurt at all, promise. Just a sort of weird tingle thing, like a small current or your foot going to sleep." No head explode, very important.

He places another item onto the coffee table, a sort of display monitor, then he sits down on the table next to it. "It's not an interrogation type of device, not like a lie detector. We're going to talk, and it's going to monitor. It's a bit psychic."

Tosh momentarily flashes back to the Mary-Mind-Reading-Pendant incident and eyes the device warily. "It's going to read my thoughts?"

"Not quite, not that much psychic. It's more about detecting if there's some other thought process going on that's not yours, like another personality or commands. 'One of these things is not like the other...'" He's sing-song on that, but at least it isn't bedazzling, right? "And of course your standard monitoring vitals, breathing and heartrate and pupil dilation and that sort of thing. The parent technology was a form of lie detector, but the time this is from had a lot of trouble with sleeper personalities and implanted suggestions."

She remembers the Sleepers, and is glad they have better tech now than they did then. "Ok then. Crown me Queen of the Lab."

He smirks and then settles more comfortably on the coffee table, watching her closely in what'd likely be a disconcerting way, but it's necessary. He keeps his voice even, asking her a series of relatively bland and generic questions-- name, date of birth, what country is she in, what's her favorite color? Unsurprisingly, he can't help snickering at the last.

She glares at him when he laughs. "I am a girl, I am supposed to say that." She drinks a few more sips of water as they talk. She tells him about her first bike as a child (Green and pink, with purple tassels hanging from the handle bars), the last college dorm she had, and recounts her first weeks at Torchwood. (Shy, quiet, knocking things over at every turn.)

As she talks, he gives her little encouraging nods, and he smiles broadly at the more adorable stories. When she brings up her first week, he reaches out to squeeze her hand. "But you were fantastic, Tosh. I wish I'd found you earlier."

Remembering the tiny, damp dark prison cell she would have been in, had he not found her, she grips his hand tightly, tears flooding her eyes.
"I wish you had too... But I'm so glad you did. I...wouldn't trade Torchwood for anything."

Her getting emotional gets him emotional, too, especially with what she says. The video she left for them, the way she looked at him when... It's quite a lot, so he pulls her into a hug, a little awkwardly since he has to avoid knocking the 'tiara' off her head.

She hugs him just as tightly, finally feeling like she's home.

He twists to look at the monitor and lets out a short, relieved laugh. "We got enough data. Congratulations-- you're you!"

She rests her forehead on his shoulder, sighing hugely with relief. "Oh, thank God."

He plucks the device off of her head and presses an affectionate kiss into her hair, then takes off the wrist ones as well. "Our Tosh!"

He turns and wraps his other arm around Tosh, giving her a big hug. "Oh Tosh, I'm so glad you're back. Missed you so much."

She hugs them both as tightly as she can manage, laughing gratefully. "Well, I am glad that's done with!" She looks at Jack. "So, now that we've established that I'm me, can I have my job back?"

He laughs happily with her, enjoying the nice group hug they've got going. "Me too! Sorry to put you through it, but we'd really kick ourselves if you turned out to be some agent bent on turning Earth into a giant cupcake. Why is it nobody has fun master plans like that?" He laughs more with her question and puts on an exaggerated thinking face. "Gee, I dunno, hire back the best tech we've ever had and a great friend to boot..."

"And think of all the time you'd spend *not* training me!" She pulls back from the hug looking intense. "Cupcakes do sound good right now. I'm still hungry, sandwich aside."

He leans, all but forgotten, against the edge of the couch, and starts clapping. "Hooray, she's the real deal, just like I said! Confetti and cupcakes all around!". He rolls his eyes and smirks.

Figuring he should make the effort, he looks over to John. "Thank you. This means so much to us."
