As the lift descended down into the hub Jack kept as much distance between him and John as possible, which wasn't an easy task. The further down into the hub they got the more Jack was beginning to believe that maybe asking John for his help was going to be a bad idea. As the stone came to a standstill Gwen stepped towards them.
'Hey gorgeous, at least tell me you're happy to see me?' John jumped down from the stone smirking.
'Well, that depends on you doing what Jack asks of you.' She replied unsmiling.
Jack stepped down from the lift and walked towards the autopsy bay, indicating that John should follow him. John spotted Damien at his workstation.
'You a new team member, cute, you do like the pretty ones don't you?'
'Shut up.' Jack's voice doing nothing to hide his irritation.
They reached the railings to the autopsy bay and John looked down at Ianto's inert body.
'What happened to Eye Candy?'
'He's dying, toxin of the Gunawarks, they came through the rift last night. He was poisoned about 14 hours ago and he's already showing symptoms he shouldn't be for at least another ten hours or so.'
'This is why you wanted me here?'
'I need you to get the antidote for him, for me from the future.'
'What's in it for me?'
'At this moment in time, anything you want.' Jack meant every word as he said them.
'Anything?' John smirked, clearly enjoying Jack's distress.
'Look, can we argue this out later, Ianto needs that antidote as soon as possible.'
'Anything, I have your word?'
Jack could feel the eyes of Gwen, Chloe and Damien boring into him as he answered.
'Yeah, anything. Just go and get it please, Damien checked, there's still rift energy residue from where the Gunawarks came through, you can use that. I'll take you there.' Nothing could hide the pleading in Jack's eyes.
'Sure, I'll get it for you.'
Jack didn't like the expression on John's face or the tone of his voice, but he had no choice but to trust him to do this for Ianto.
Jack fetched his coat and for the first time led John out through the tourist office entrance and along the bay towards where the rift energy was.
'So, Eye Candy is cute and all, but is he really worth this?'
'I love him. We're making it legal ... in less than two weeks.' Jack's voice cracked as he tried to stifle a sob.
John grabbed Jack's arm and pulled him to a standstill.
'You're marrying him?' John couldn't hide the shock in his voice.
'It's still just a Civil Partnership in this time, but yes to all intent and purposes we will be married. I want to spend every possible moment with him.'
'And you still promise you'll do anything I want if I get the antidote?'
'Please don't make me beg.'
'It's very tempting.' John smirked. 'But I won't, come on lets get to the place I need to be, but be sure, when I return I will expect whatever payment I deem it merits.'
Jack just turned on his heel and started to walk again, John followed him a few steps behind with a cocky smirk on his face that Jack couldn't see as he imagined just what he thought he might be able to get Jack to do as payment.
When Jack reached the spot he stopped and waited the few seconds of John to catch up.
'Just be quick, please.' Jack pleaded.
'Don't I get a good bye kiss?' John grinned.
Jack just glared at him, John walked into the rift energy residue and pressed a couple of buttons on his wrist strap, blew Jack a kiss and vanished. In theory John could appear again in moments in the same spot he just left, but Jack had a feeling that wasn't going to be that simple.
Jack activated his comm and spoke to Damien in the hub.
'Keep monitoring the Plass, John has gone and I need to know the second he gets back.'
'Consider it done.' Damien responded.
'I'm on my way back.' Jack cut the comm again.
Jack entered through the tourist office and found Gwen waiting for him, she asked him to go to the conference room with her. When they reached it she put her arms around him and hugged him tight, when she released her grip minutes later she looked him straight in the eyes.
'What does he want?' Gwen asked.
'I don't know, he says he'll know when he returns.'
'Will you really do anything?'
'Wouldn't you? For Rhys?'
'Yes.'
'Then you've answered your own question.'
'Don't do anything stupid Jack, nothing that could cause you to lose Ianto even though you've saved his life.'
'I promised him anything.'
'Could you save him and lose him, would that be any better than his dying?'
'No, it would be worse.'
'Promise me something Jack, whatever he wants, think about it long and hard about it and the ramifications before you do it.'
'I promise to think about it, that's all I can promise.'
'That will have to do. Now go and be with Ianto till he comes back.'
