When they were alone Ianto still holding his prisoner with one of those positions that Jack had taught him: that of Julian in his arms and hands with fingers crossed behind his neck. He could then see the face of the other, her face drawn, her lips tightened to stifle every cry of pain for what was a very uncomfortable position on his shoulder, his eyes behind which lurked a quiet storm of emotions. Julian endured the humiliation of her situation was to barricade himself behind silence, Ianto listened to him as if they were words spoken aloud.
voice, because he, more often than not, he used silence as a dress. The base seemed
living around them, all those little sounds that the men of Torchwood now knew well and made her feel like a home and more, almost a person.
"Leave me alone." Whispered Julian.
Ianto did not move.
"Leave" was not an order, it was not a plea, "Let me sit down before you I must lead by weight."
"Promise not create me problems?" Asked Ianto, the stern voice, but condescending to those who seek to wrest a promise to a recalcitrant child. As he spoke
loosened his grip and pushed toward Julian the elevator that led to the detention level.
"In spite of appearances, he wants to help," he murmured from somewhere behind him, as the doors opened with a buzz.
"We all want ... and I fear that there is no one else who might be able to do so, "he concluded, following him into the elevator. Julian
with disheveled hair on the face, the lip was swelling up now, it seemed that the young man who hid his manner composed. She kept leaning against the wall of the studying and Ianto, who was standing erect with his head under the cold light of neon.
"I would have otherwise killed." Concluded. "But you can not blame me if I do not like being in a cell."
Ianto was silent and Julian so back, the car stopped with a controlled braking. They went out in the hallway of the fifth level, greeted by a growl that did stiffen Wyville Julian.
"Fear not, can not get out of them."
"As a child I heard about the circus of monsters." He went to the cell straining his eyes, ravished by her curiosity.
"They were probably just unfortunate human beings."
"Maybe." Her face just inches from the glass. "The nights were the darkest time, Ianto Jones. The brightest stars. "And they turned their backs to the Wyville just when they rushed on.
"I believe that you are in good faith. If you ask me go into that cell, I could help you if you ask me, there are no more than once, botanists, after all. "
"I do not doubt" Ianto Jones smiled, a smile so disarming politically correct.
"But it would be better if you had offered your help Jack, rather than jump to the throat" added, with a calm tone of objection.
"This puts me in a position to be able to trust you to a certain point, I think you understand." He added, almost apologetically.
The other nodded her head.
"You have to understand the terrible tension that we are all subjected, first to Jack ..." Ianto continued, looking toward the elevator.
"They are people dying ... it is our duty to understand what is happening, prevent it from happening again ... "He looked
, with neutral expression, clean.
"You think you can help us?"
"I think to prove ourselves. If you help me fill in the gaps I could do it. Unless I misunderstood the girl .. sent samples. "
" Tosh, yes, he did. "Ianto asked behind the mask of impersonal courtesy if that was not another trick a person's stroke. The young Scot, who does not see it so I
had exactly the look with gray eyes and hair almost blacks, seemed to never give up. Seeing Julian
hesitation filming "Where are you going so tanned? I saw these insects, God knows what else buzzing around the city. "Hesitated, took a deep breath, "I swear to you that your Jack
find me in my cage on his return." Ianto replied
provocation to provocation. "I see you quickly rejuvenate your speech." And the jab because he went to sign Julian paused thoughtfully.
"Come ..." Ianto seraphic smile, "but it would be very impolite to jump to the neck, remember that."
"Maybe it's like in that movie with the pods ... Invasion of the Body Snatchers ... "he muttered to himself, Toshiko, making yet another scan soil.
Owen Harper looked up at the dome of branches, which excluded the sky, making the air of Granger Gardens dense and dark as that of a virgin forest.
"Tosh, your encyclopedic knowledge of film history in the last ten years is admirable and speaks volumes about your social life! We want to try to work? "He snapped.
"E'quello I'm doing!" The Japanese protested, pouting.
"Here, then search for your fucking pods in silence," he said, sardonically.
"You can know what your problem, Owen? "Gwen growled, irritated by those sterile squabbles.
"As you are so good, why do not you suggest any solution, rather than criticize our proposals? What happened to twenty-two children and their teacher, in your mind sublime? "
The doctor did not answer. Why did not reply, damn ... That place no longer had even the appearance of a garden, benches engulfed by a thick, lush carpet of vines, vines hanging from trees to dizzying heights ... When Jack sopraggiuse, was surprised not to see him make his way with a machete.
"The growth was even faster than other times," said Toshiko.
"Whatever is purchasing power"
"Maybe he draws from his own victims ..." Gwen offered, and this time Owen even ventured to say anything. The event was as realistic as terrible.
Rather decided to control the activity of plant photosynthesis to not let his face trasparisse what disturbed him that chance ..
"a school can not vanish. Twenty-two monsters screaming ... "
Walking over a dense cover of moss green footprints left behind black humus and white gravel, white as bone.
If you do not think the situation that place could be lovely, fragrant spring. He felt touching the face by a light breeze and warm that it seemed a caress.
"Owen, come and see" Gwen called him back. "We found something."
And he roused himself from his thoughts and it was like a window that pops up: the noise of the street nearby, fears and frustration for the mission that saw no way out.
Gwen was showing him a bag covered with rotting leaves "It 's a backpack and there are others, oh my God Jack can not be true."
Jack who had arrived at that time next to them turned on itself, the' large coat that grew to the wheel. "It's okay, we will find them. Owen, location of the blades, we have to dig. Hurry, hurry! "
moments of frenetic activity ensued.
Even before Owen had returned from the suv with shovels, Jack had already jumped to the ground and dug with their hands. Tosh and Gwen, after a moment's hesitation, had imitated.
The urgency hung over them, terrible, hope you have guessed they were fighting with the absurd possibility that, on balance more reassuring, it was wrong.
Gwen was finding the first body, and communicate it to others with a desperate cry of joy:
"I found one! My God, is alive! "The child lay in
potion back, apparently asleep. His whole body was wrapped in a sort of cocoon virescence, thick and fleshy, who had protected him from the ground and allowed him to continue breathing. When Owen cut the cocoon with a scalpel, or outside a milky serum, strong smelling. While others dug Owen is dedicated to the child frantically wiping her face, stroking her hair. Emerged on the skin as a hair thin wires, brown, green, red, which is lost in the liquid. The child was alive but not breathing, the lungs had completely blocked like it was a amniotic fluid.
"I've found another me," said Tosh.
"Yeah, me too!" Echoed Gwen.
"Owen, how are they?" Jack had stopped digging and looked doubtful the trees above them.
"Evil will suffocate if not empty the lungs but it's like ... bound in a cocoon. " was already turning the baby to treat it like a drowning.
Jack went back to work, secure the face beaded with sweat, at one point threw aside his coat and rolled up his sleeves.
"I made a scannig ground, Lord's voice emerged Ianto close to Jack. "They are all below you, in a circle and there is 'something else'.
"feel"
"At the center there is' a plant, maybe a bulb, is placed just below you. It could be dangerous Lord "
"I always said that the vegetable is not good for health. See business? "
Instead of secure voice and personal Ianto, a little 'distant we heard another voice.
"It looks like a mushroom, the heart is at your feet but expands in the park. He must have created a symbiosis with plants and grow dramatically. If so may have done the same thing with children. God seems like a nightmare ... "
" What are you doing him there with you? Why did not you shut up Ianto, "Jack got up standing, the beautiful face beaded with sweat, the shirt is now black earth. "Ianto?"
"It's okay," reassured him Ianto.
"He's cooperating, and I think might be useful to us, Jack"
Owen caught the frown of the Captain and silently cursed the idiot of Ianto. Why the hell did not just make coffee and to ease tension and Jack, rather than assume the right to take action dick? ...
"I hope you know what you're doing, Ianto," Jack said dark.
And I hope you know what you will do if I were even think to hurt one hair, Julian Vallantine ...
"Ianto, alert ambulances, which are held ready ... Owen, do everything you can to keep children alive. Tosh, Update in real-time changes in the course, Gwen continues to dig, Julian ... "her voice hesitated, but only for a moment" you have no idea what could be done to force the bulb to break the bond without harm anyone? "
" Working by contradiction, perhaps .. "
" Well, "Ianto said softly beside him, looking at the corner of my eye. "So I would say that is the solution that best fits your situation. "The Scottish
just smiled, you could define embarrassed. Now that was no longer hemmed in by himself, now that he no longer felt in immediate danger, his survival instinct was again giving way to a more urban character.
"We hear" Jack encouraged him that he looked around uneasily as if sniffing the smell of a coming danger.
"I think it is a fungus having regard to its structure, not a bulb. I would not say nonsense, but I get the impression that has extended its filiform apparatus in the whole park binding in symbiosis with plants. Snap
the roots and surrounding apical forming a more dense grid, like a cocoon. And I think he did the same with children. "He hesitated before continuing. "Owen, you said
thin wires do not you?"
"Yes, I think they have to give oxygen to the body"
"Probably. It seems an impossible endosymbiosis. "Jack inervenne. "Imagine that in this world everything is possible, that I will offer another tea."
"I saw horses, metal, how many times I can still amaze me?"
"Oh, I hope an infinite number." Jack smiled wrong.
"You want to finish it?" Owen raised his voice intent to remove a child from another land. "What are these wires?"
"The fungus is introduced into their body, and this is obvious, but the same fungus is also linked to mutandole plants. They must have different functions and he certainly should be able to adapt I think that human beings serve as the energy, the body and plants as defense. "
" Fantasia, "said Owen close to try keeping up with others to work frantically "Great! You say you care enough fungicide? "
" Just as an antibacterial enough to kill a human being I'm afraid. "Julian was heard from the headset.
"Keep digging, it is still five to the appeal." Urged them to Gwen.
did not take long to remove all the bodies, including the teacher, a young woman on the face of which had already grown moss.
"Now," said Jack, "if the calculations are accurate Vallantine, at the very moment in which we will to remove the wires, should take some self-defense mechanism .. We need to keep us ready, boys. "
"I was born ready," Owen muttered, with an air of superiority.
Jack smiled. When the laser knife
Jack cut the first handful of filaments, they withdrew, closing in on themselves, like tiny snakes.
"E'solo it me or the earth shook?" Murmured Toshiko, alert.
all remained in play, while Jack proceeded to free the child from his prison filamentous.
"Well," threw out the Gwen, "does not seem so bad ..."
"Careful!" Owen warned, and once pulled a pistol from his trousers and fired in his direction. The wasp
giant fell to the ground, throwing deafening screams, splashes of dark blood and green liquid flooded the underworld with a foul-smelling rain.
Gwen glanced in horror to the insect, while in turn pulled out a gun and did fire on another creature.
"Thank you, Owen! Apparently your Audrey II has raised the alarm, "he joked, fierce.
arose a noise in the park vibrant, growing close and threatening all around them. The
Torchwood Cardiff met, shoulder to shoulder, arms drawn and ready. Toshiko challenged her with the tip pointing down slightly, the lessons of Jack at the shooting had not been very successful. In fact, even with Gwen but for quite different reasons and in any case she was then sgrezzata field. Owen thought that I almost feel a pleasure in challenging a masculine weapon. He sought the corner of them on his right. So dressed in tight pants and leather jacket seemed one of those heroines exits of American action movies. The haircut was not to a time, now if I ironed every morning. And make-up ... Poor her belly, not knowing what he was doing and see it change so much, probably lived in fear of losing is not enough. And you know, when one begins to heal a little there 's always a middle man or a woman.
"Owen!" Jack warned him moving with his shoulder to shoot straight in front of a wasp. "Head on the neck and fingers on the trigger." Jack had the creatures around them, more and more.
"Ianto, here is a brilliant idea."
Owen recovered quickly, put the right wrist on his left arm and began to shoot wildly.
brilliant idea .... more easily said ...
Ianto bit his lower lip, her forehead wrinkled pale. His eyes sought those of the only other person present in the base, in a suit seeking help.
hated to stay there safely while others exposed to similar risks. He hated not being alongside Jack in danger ...
heard his voice, remote, distant, yet exceptionally quiet and safe, in spite of his fear of his concern.
"Jack, insects are highly sensitive to electromagnetic waves and high-frequency radio waves. Indeed it seems that these can cause death. I do not think they make exceptions, except for size. I think it would be worth groped. You can use the Vortex Manipulator, or maybe Tosh has some idea ... "
Ianto's mind was with his companions to the point that Julian did not notice move and slipping behind. In fact, through the headset, the world was made of gunfire and screaming, it was impossible to hear any sound but when she felt a hand shaking his shoulder suddenly everything was back to the here and now, like a tape rewinds.
just instinctively lifted his head as if to defend himself a few shots and closed his eyes, giving himself a fool naive.
Julian approached him, almost to pull her face to his.
"A wonderful idea, Ianto Jones." Spoke softly, had removed the headset. "If it works, and I am sure it will work on their own to fill the soil copper powder as quickly as possible. "A short silence
then pointed to a monitor that ran a biological analysis of the tentacles that Tosh was sending in the heart of the inferno, crouched behind his companions, who made her shield.
"Look." Boning without the voice of the Scottish accent. He spoke in a surreal slow for that situation. "It 's like the fungi, only bigger. If you kill the body, the spores will proliferate, you have to destroy it and use copper to clean up. "
Ianto caught the corner of a grimace of pain, fleeting. Lip skin was cut back and talking now he licked away the blood. The hand shook more forcefully on his shoulder,
Julian smiled, then walked away.
"Copper? Do you think we carry it in your pocket? "Owen said, breaking down another wasp. Now that magnetic waves transmitted by Tosh had knocked their sense of direction, it was even fun to do target shooting with those beasts!
"I also think the copper" echoed Jack, taking aim, and added:
"Ianto, can you think?"
Ianto nodded, as if Jack might see him. But it was the only Julian Vallantine ...
"We have explosives on suv" Gwen offered, evidently of giant wasps and fungi had just above the tip of the hair.
"An explosion disperse the spores," Ianto objected, and sought confirmation in the eyes of Julian.
"We pretty poison" proposed Toshiko, peeping between the heads of their colleagues.
Owen looked skeptical, but not interrupted.
"When I was a child, I had a neighbor who did not get along with my grandfather ... My grandfather had a beautiful garden ... "the Japanese said, excitedly.
"Well, it happened that this neighbor has poisoned the plant, using the freeze of the car ...
"Try not harmful," said Jack, "Run, Gwen"
"You the molecular composition of this antifreeze Ianto? "said Julian. What
nodded and slid his hands on the console. "We have the chemical composition of everything"
"Terrestrial and not .." he concluded for the Scot who already read "The mushrooms are small and adaptable beings stubborn god but what I liked walking in a forest full of Their scent .. "
" apologizing "Owen protested loudly that he was thinking more and more intensely explosives, Gwen. "But we want to return to the pressure ...." He could not
finish the sentence. The earth shook and jumped to their feet, raising a cloud of dust. Semiaccecato Owen repaired her face, coughing Jack felt a little distance and then a scream of Gwen. Then he was silent, motionless in the air and dense. The world had turned into a thick cloud and heavy that it barely crossed the light, the muffled sounds came out. One, two, three beats of the heart of Owen, then the ground began to shake and got up beside him and something he grew up, grew up to tower over them.
"Jack" Ianto whispered that he could not see anything. Julian
beside him holding his breath.
"Copper is it?" And scolded Owen. "Leave it to the professionals ..." But Julian
paid no attention to the attack and shouted, "Cover up your mouth and nose, do not breathe!"
"Do not breathe? Other possibilities? "Was the voice of Gwen who had re-emerged in that dust suspended like a ghost.
"Gone" Jack took advantage of the silence to find her smile. "There are many good reasons to improve the apnea, not only
avoid becoming the home of a fungus in space." On their heads the creature had taken the form of a large drum club whose cap is still closed well explain the origin of its name. Go
Tosh, try anti-freeze. "
Julian fidgeted restlessly in front of the chemical composition of antifreeze. It seemed that something does not convince him at all.
"We need to get children out of here," Jack hissed.
however hard he tried, none of them was able to remain in apnea for a long time, let the kids passed out. Bent over
itself Toshiko coughed painfully.
"Ianto, Vallantine, guidateci out of here" he ordered, holding a child and struggling with each arm in the air dense looking for a way out.
"Proceed straight, Jack, and be careful with the roots ... We're almost there ... "Ianto shouted, looking frantically scanning the ground screen.
"If you can take out of the reach of spores can attach it somehow course, the frost would have been more effective if that thing had not moved ...." ended bitterly.
It took several laps to bring all the children and the teacher out of the cloud of spores. The ambulance had already arrived, although the police did not think to keep anyone away from the area.
"I always vote for the explosives ... maybe a flamethrower "Gwen teased, her eyes red and his face flushed.
Owen grinned.
"I do not know to what extent it would be effective" objected Jack, who seemed to have taken seriously the damn speech.
"There are fungi that synthesize gas and hydrocarbons in a natural way, through the disposal of plant remains consisting of cellulose ... I do not think it would be manufacturing them on fire, but you never know ... "
are outside the cloud of spores, now that was increasingly widening. The top of the large mushroom he pierced the top, stands threateningly over them.
"Whatever we do, you should decide to do it fast," remarked Toshiko, wide eyes fixed on the dark surface of the fungus.
"Why?" Owen said, spitting on the ground and spores. "What else could happen?"
"Well ..." he stammered Toshiko, "the fungus could open up ..." How many times
mushrooms grow unseen in the course of one day, under rotting leaves or logs felled in the heart? In a single day can reach their adult state at a speed that few other creatures can boast.
'E' as in Journey to the Center of the Earth ... "Tosh whispered enchanted when he realized they had a quiet moment unexpected. The large trunk rose up on them in the strange transparency. Pale rays of sunlight cut the air in which the spores were dancing like dust in an old room. "Enchanting"
"Here we are," said Owen, who struggled from child to child.
"Ianto, expect another brilliant idea!" But the headset came
only silence. Ianto stared at viewers, his eyes sunk into frantic thoughts, his hand close to hand.
"E 'surreal ..." he protested to his lips, tried to help Julian still frowning and absorbed by the plant's molecular lattice. At first it seemed not to hear but then he said: "Of
them to use the fire extinguishers, fire-retardant foam to cover it. Ask for help from firefighters. "Then, seeing that Ianto looked at him thoughtfully, but do not make up his mind turned to indict. "What have you got to lose? If I'm wrong will not get any worse. " The other nodded
and took the index to the headset. "Did you hear Jack."
"Look, here we are," Gwen protested.
Ianto ignored her but she repeated. "Try to hold the mushroom foam fire retardant." Accepting the Scientific Council of the 800 for a Scottish break down the alien entity was not defined exactly what
advanced instrumentation, but it was not the best idea.
Gwen and Owen went to retrieve the fire extinguishers and spear them with belligerent air.
ordering Jack opened the valve, affecting the fungus with jets of foam.
Some firefighters rushed to give them a hand.
For a moment the rustle of the foam was the only sound audible over the screams and sirens.
Then, one short of grim gnashing seemed to spring from the same womb of the earth and rising, more and more sharp and deafening, so much so that several firefighters dropped their hoses to press his hands over his ears.
The beast, plant, fungus or whatever it was they debate rages, screaming. The proud stem shrank, shrank, folded in on itself limp flaccid. The earth shook again, then jumped
collapsed on itself in a crater covered with white foam. Do not spend more than a few minutes the creature lying at their feet practically unrecognizable.
"But what ... "Owen's eyes were running fast here and there. His cynicism gave way to curiosity. "What happened?" Jack smiled
charging the extinguisher on his shoulder as if it were a machine gun and the plan successful, entertaining a successful plan.
Watching his fellow white foam smeared smile widened and his eyes grew mischievous. Tosh's hair was all straight drives as spaghetti, a hair style very fashionable in some places Jack had visited. Gwen took off the foam with your fingers from his cheek and throw it away, embarrassed, but to be honest very similar to one of those girls who were playing in the mud in some places in London .... Cardiff lacked certain amenities.
"What happened?" Said Owen. "Well, something terrible and sad that deserves our sympathy: he stopped before the launch."
All three looked at him wrong, thinking about before it was a bad joke but when he looked at them with that his eyes, just raised an eyebrow and his eyes half closed as soon as they realized that was not joking at all.
"I think was a probe of colonization. I heard about it but I had never seen. When they find a suitable planet send messages into space to call the settlers plant. Or at least I think .. "He shrugged. Then he carried the index to the headset "Ianto ... Julian "the two names jumped to his voice as a musical instrument, the first rich, then deep," a brilliant idea. "
" Lord ... a duty. "Said Ianto. He started to turn around to congratulate Julian and only then realized he was gone.
The excitement was too busy to hear you were away. At a glance even the monitor was no sign of him. He silently cursed and banged his fist on the console looking elsewhere. Should have answered, he knew, but he could trust so simple ... Just then his glance fell on a piece left on the console next to him. Took it, stretched with anger and read
"flood the ground sulfur mixed with water."
PART 6
"Risotto with mushrooms ?...."
Owen raised his head from the pot that had been placed in front with exaggerated slowness. The subdued laughter of Tosh and Gwen made him sound carpet.
"Why is not it? "asked Ianto Jones, that, as used to conceal any emotion, struggle hard to keep from laughing in front of incredulous expression grim, and the young doctor.
"What I like about you, Ianto, plus a number of features that do not think it should be listed in front of our colleagues, is that you know make the most of every resource."
Jack's intervention provoked ; a storm of conflicting reactions, which ran out in just a few intense seconds. Gwen
A cautious curiosity.
a resigned grunt in Owen.
A healthy and smiling in complicity Toshiko.
embarrassment, but also pleasure in Ianto Jones.
"Risotto is excellent, Ianto, very good." That he wanted to congratulate Gwen, leading to the mouth a generous mouthful of food.
"Do not be offended if I can not eat it, Ianto," Owen muttered, pushing the plate away from you.
"But feel it! As you are gentle, Owen Harper, "Gwen took him around, jostling playfully. M
he did not listen and his plate was parked in the middle of the table, still steaming. Toshiko method selected with care outside the grains of rice inward, occasionally stabbing the larger pieces of fungus. "But I still have not understood a thing. How did he react that way to the foam fire retardant? "
Ianto was sitting in turn to eat, when he was sure that everything was on the table. "The tests say it was a being made to travel in space, just like Jack said. In terms of travel, at very low temperatures or in the absence of oxygen, has regressed immediately to ensure the level of spore survival. And the fire-retardant foam, well, that eat oxygen to extinguish the fire. "For the deployment.
"Impressive," said Gwen, tasting another bite and then filling in for Owen and if a glass of wine. He meanwhile stretched rocking chair on its hind legs.
Jack had put the face on his hand and had become thoughtful, always half-smile on his lips.
Tosh came to speak: 'There is another thing I do not understand. "
" What's that? "Rocked Owen
" How did a nineteenth-century Scottish tell? & Rdquo ;
L in question fell into silence. Everyone seemed committed only to chew. Julian
Vallantine .. had managed to surprise them for good, nothing to say! Damn Scottish blood! And to think that Jack seemed placid water ....
On returning from the mission, Ianto had welcomed them with a drawn face, dampening their enthusiasm now for success.
if Jack was not even taken with him, that would be served. It was not even so much the way if Vallantine had slipped away to send him into a beast, because the stupidity of the young botanist. Where he hoped to go to hell? As could be expected to return in his day, if possible, without their help?
"something against the Scots, Captain?" The full lips
Jack Harkness curled into a smile, hearing the voice of Julian.
Even Ianto smiled, hurrying to get up and serve him a bit 'di'riso.
Julian sat at ease, as if they had been there, as if that was always his home.
"Let's say that at times are the most obvious things to surprise you." Jack said, pouring a glass of wine.
"And you, Captain?" Said the botanist quiet, looking into his eyes.
"There's still something that can surprise you?"
Undoubtedly there. See
Julian Vallantine sitting in his cell after everyone had given him to escape had surprised him how! There was no need for explanations, in reality, the Scot had made a commitment with Ianto to go back to his cell when you have help, and so he did. How to show that, after all, if that was not the most suitable age for men of honor, this does not mean that they did not exist ...
"Within a week the remediation of contaminated land should be concluded" Ianto announced, open to everyone, but especially to the young botanist, who gave a half smile.
"All missing men were recovered and are in hospital. The fungus, fortunately kept them alive until the last "Toshiko said, visibly pleased.
"All's well that ends well," crooned Owen, however, could not stop watching the risotto with suspicion.
"There will be a lot of work to reseat the gardens and the garden," said Jack, looking at Julian with intention.
"Do you think I might need a good botanist?" The churches, with intention.
T osh leaned forward, Gwen mimed inattention, but each of them was hold. Julian
in those days had proved a pleasant company, perhaps because everything was new for him had not shown dismay rather than enthusiasm in the face of incredible things that had been shown. For him, a car or a pterodactyl in the flesh were two things that are impossible in his time. Sure they could put him in a rehabilitation program, but it was clear that he would have gone close, it seemed he had already replaced without them and now, well, now would be like a cut flower.
And then there was the Torchwood
... "It would be a priceless opportunity" has begun to respond Julian dopo qualche attimo di riflessione, reclinando appena il capo e chiedendosi quali pensieri passassero dietro lo sguardo di Jack. “Avendo le giuste conoscenze per acquisire quel lavoro qualcuno potrebbe cercare resti di spore inerti e studiarle, la loro composizione cellulare è strana, hanno delle specie di sacche che penso servano loro a viaggiare nello spazio, sono loro che hanno reagito all’assenza di ossigeno. Però certamente questo qualcuno dovrebbe avere l’aiuto di una persona .. “ si guardò attorno “ ecco, una persona come Tosh con il suo genio, ed una come Owen con la sua conoscenza medica. I funghi dopotutto sono anche animale. “ It was there that he shrugged disconsolate air .. "Please understand that this person could well be said to be lucky, because such a group is unique to find."
anto I smiled to himself, glancing at Jack.
was fun to see him struggling with Vallantine, we had the impression that the young Scot could stand up to him. Almost ...
In fact, he was attending a skirmish in which Jack was caused, rather than cause, to be unusual and interesting.
"If you find one, Vallantine, Warn 'said Jack, seraphic," I was just thinking of asking a transfer. "
There was a fun exchange of glances, and Gwen snorted a short laugh.
"If you expect me ask you to stay, Julian Vallantine, wasting your time," he added Jack, can not understand what was actually serious. The others remained pending, perplexed.
Captain continued, eyes fixed on Julian, eye to eye.
"I mean ... you want to go back to Torchwood, and this at the moment, "he looked around, taking up room, but symbolically the entire base," is the only Torchwood where you can go, which you can hope to belong. For now. And only if you want "
The expressions on the faces of young and changed in a few moments as the skies of Scotland: at first his eyes filled with challenge when he was refused, then his lips shook a little and leaned a smile that never left completely free. Rather, his chin lifted slightly, the expression became ironic and playfully said, "What would you not the Captain, to never ask anything to anyone? People hang from your lips as if they knew of honey, but perhaps only because he never let that touch on. "
a bit 'all at the table moved at ease and lowered look, then Julian freed her smile. "But do not worry, I'm not afraid to ask and indeed, I would be grateful if you would accept me here because I realize that there is' a great deal that I recovered."
I the face of Jack, which was obscured, lay, though her eyes maintained a hardness almost painful.
"Well, better that way, then. You will have a place to come back, and Ianto will have a playmate. "
At these words, Jack Ianto blushed scarlet and looked lost.
"joking ...." she whispered, wrinkling his face into a smile. A smile that was crystallized in the face as he watched the rest of the team to officially welcome Julian.
"Boys," said Julian "welcome in my part of it gave a good glass of beer. I think it is a good starting point to get back to discover new usages of the pub. What do you say? "
Owen laughed heartily. "This guy I like. And you could not be more lucky, I'm no expert, believe me. "
" Ah yes sure .. "Gwen said" Trust me, no one like him is able to swallow anything, can not tell from the Guinness tar. "
" Speak the alcoholic. "Owen pulled her toward the stairs while Tosh ran to his position to take the jacket. Was about to run away when he saw Ianto and Captain were still stuck where they were. "But you do not come?"
"Ianto has launched a scanning on the ground that the city will end soon. I look and he will arrive soon. "
Tosh with his confident smile nodded and ran after the others. The voices of Owen and Gwen were already distorted echo down the stairs, only Julian era ancora sulla porta aspettandola e fissò i due lungamente finché Tosh lo raggiunse e andarono via insieme.
“ Vuoi ancora un bicchiere di vino?”
Fu Ianto a spezzare il silenzio per primo, quel silenzio che era caduto tra loro quando l'ultima eco dei passi e delle voci era svanito.
Non c'era motivo che Jack si fermasse. Lo scanning sarebbe continuato tutta la notte, ed entrambi lo sapevano bene.
