Title: And Yet…
Author:

Characters: Ianto, mentions the team and Lisa
Rating: G
Written For: Challenge 257 - Between the Devil and the deep blue sea at
tw100
Spoilers: For Cyberwoman
Summary: Ianto’s having conflicting feelings
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
Torchwood Three wasn’t like One, it lacked the emotionless, unfeeling bureaucracy and red tape, the air of superiority.
These were real people, good people; not perfect but doing the best they could for the greater good. The people who’d dared stand up to Hartman, the thorn in her side.
Toshiko, Owen, Suzie… and Jack. He was using them, betraying them, and it was killing him inside, a little more each day.
They didn’t deserve to be used this way, but what else could he do? He had to put Lisa’s needs first. She should be all that mattered, and yet…
The End

Yeah, Ianto is torn. He knows what he should feel, but Jack is an unanticipated complication and Ianto's feeling things that it's just not convenient for him to feel. His straightforward plan is getting a bit derailed.

Date: 2012-10-30 11:13 am (UTC)It was such a difficult time for him, caring for Lisa as well as keeping up with the demands of Torchwood, but he's a good person in a desperate situation, so I can't believe that using and betraying the team wouldn't bother him.
