Walking through town, helping as many as he could, by the end of the night, Jack had reached the point of exhaustion. He slowly walked through the darkened town, once more getting the strange feeling he had while with Gambit. Even before the earthquake there had been an odd feeling about this place, now, with the silence, Jack was worried. If this had been Cardiff, he would have shaken it off, helped who he could and went back to the Hub to 'sleep' it off.

But here? It was a veritable unknown. There was no tech to take readings, no way of knowing what was coming next. At least in the Hub, they had some sort of warning when something was about to happen when the Rift monitor went off. Here? There weren't even sirens to let them know a quake was coming. What was next? Typhoon? Tornado?

He looked up at the dark sky, knowing the glass cage was above and felt like a caged animal, placed somewhere to be observed. Jack breathed in, lowering his head and headed in the direction of the gym. Right now, he wanted nothing more than to see Ianto. Between the conversations with the Insider and hearing Gray's voice in the void, it was safe to say that Jack wasn't on his game. He'd been able to distract himself playing hero, but no longer. Now, all Jack had were his thoughts. It was strange feeling like he had to depend on someone -- Jack was the strong one. Not weak.

Well, everyone could have an off-day, right?

Hands shoved deep into his pockets, he made his way inside the rubble of the gym, glancing at the injured parties and hoping the doctors were handling things. He'd be around to help, but right now, Jack needed time to himself. And that meant finding Ianto.
