Yeah, working for Torchwood and being in love with me.' Jack told him sadly.
Ianto avoided his eye, trying not to think about the kisses earlier.
'I get the feeling there your not telling me everything, about my father dying, my childhood, or my life with Torchwood, if it's all true?'
'If I tell you that it might stop any chance I have of convincing you to change history back how it should be.' Jack replied.
'But shouldn't I know, so I have the whole picture?'
The Doctor was shaking his head, only Jack could see him. 'It won't help.'
'You say I badgered you till I got a job with you? I want to know why.'
'Right, you asked for it, I'm going to tell you everything, and after it all, the good and very bad ,you will realise that even after that I still need you to change things back because I need you.'
Ianto nodded, now a little worried about what Jack was going to tell him.
He told Ianto everything Ianto had told him about his school life and childhood mistakes after his dad died, how he met Lisa who turned his life around and got him the job with Torchwood One in London, the battle of Canary Wharf, and exactly why he was so desperate to get a job with Torchwood Three.
That he flirted and slept with him to try and keep the secret of Lisa, the Cyberwoman hidden the the basement a secret and how he couldn't bring himself to execute him or retcon him because he understood why Ianto had done it, for love and that he was already developing feelings for Ianto himself.
At that point Jack stopped for Ianto's reaction, as he hadn't said a single word throughout.
'It all sounds so ... out there.' Ianto managed to say, stunned.
'That's all? It's so 'out there?'' Jack was starting to get more than a little agitated, he wanted to just kidnap Ianto with the TARDIS, take him back to the time and make it happen. But he know the Doctor would never let him do that, it had to be Ianto's decision.
'Surely you must see how hard it is for me to believe all this, it's not it's an every day occurrence that someone tells you the life you are living isn't the one it should be? And that I did something so stupid, I mean that still happened, in this life, the Cybermen. I really loved someone who was one? It's all sounds like some elaborate ... oh I don't know!'
'There must be something I can do to convince you.' Jack was barely short of shouting now. 'If all this isn't helping.' He gestured around the TARDIS. 'Then I don't know what else will?'
'I can only think of one way.' The Doctor told Jack.
'And that is?' Jack asked impatiently.
