WHO: Jack, Jones and the Doctor. No, it's not a sitcom.
WHAT: Their experiment. Lord only knows if they'll come out of this okay.
WHERE: the museum
WHEN: Day 28; after Jack takes Tonks
RATING: Violence, disturbing images...
STATUS: Incomplete
With Tonks delivered and in the capable hands of Edward, Jack slowly began to make his way back to Ianto's cage. Every time he tried to slow his pace, he could feel that place in the back of his mind pushing him on and forward. He was close now, but Jack didn't know how he was going to do this -- other than reverting to that area of his mind that was the cold, calculating Time Agent.
He'd have to do this. He could do this.
Jack gave a tight-lipped smile to Ianto, unlocking the cage door and motioning to him. "Come, Jones," Jack barked, arms crossed in front of his chest. The expression in his eyes said a different thing, however, oscillating between 'I love you' and 'I don't want to do this.' He had so little opportunity to actually speak that he had to save them up for when it mattered.
Once Ianto reached him, Jack wrapped his hand around Ianto's upper arm and forcibly moved him away from the cage, sliding behind Ianto as they walked. His hand gripped the way the management wanted, but his body seemed to want to protect Ianto as much as possible. It formed a strange dichotomy in his mind -- in other words, so much for finding that Time Agent part of his brain. God, the Doctor had done a number on Jack hadn't he? Not only that, but Jack was starting to realise just how far Ianto had gotten under his skin just by his reactions. Jack hadn't even thought to try and break out of the Management's control until he'd seen Ianto in the cage.
No, time for that later.
Jack led them back to the museum, and the Management control told him where they were heading. "It will all be fine," Jack crooned in that strange intoned voice. "The management knows what they are doing and you are in good hands. In fact, you'll love what you see. I guarantee it."
Opening the door, Jack froze the moment he saw the contraption. He knew that apparatus. God did he. Jack swallowed hard, quickly looking at Ianto. So soon after they were sent back in their past and now to put him though this again? Jack moved behind Ianto, fitting his body against him. The management-part said it was to keep Ianto from running. The Jack-part said he needed somehow to comfort him. Jack's hands rested on Ianto's hips, staring straight ahead.
The words came easily for once -- And Jack was beginning to see how he could circumvent the Management control. At least he could say it now when it mattered.
"Ianto -- I don't want to do this and I love you and I'm sorry," all of it was said in a rush before the Management got their control back over him.
Feeling the Management click back into place, Jack pushed Ianto forward. "Onto the table. Now."
Discussed with Kris -- to get us to the startish of the experiment! ♥
