Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.

A/N: And another pair! We’re moving into the final section of this fic now, though I’m not ruling out the possibility of writing a sequel about what happens to Hart at some point. No promises, depends on how the bunnies bounce!

They sat around the coffee table sipping from steaming mugs of Ianto’s best brew, while their ‘guest’, chained to the nearest convenient railing, continued to annoy them.

Ianto had grudgingly offered Hart coffee too, so now they were having to endure moans of appreciation even more pornographic in nature than Jack’s tended to be.

After all, Jack was one of the few people who would actually outlive the Doctor; it would be foolish to reject his friendship over something that was beyond his control.

So when the Captain phoned to request the Doctor’s assistance in adding a perception filter to a reconnaissance drone the brilliant Ms Sato had invented, he set the TARDIS controls for a visit to Torchwood.
