Reoccuring Visions

Chapter 8

Visions become Realities

Ianto lay there stilly, but his mind was racing, trying desperately to comprehend everything that had happened. He didn’t want that to happen, he never wanted to go into some one’s mind, especially he never wanted to go into Avalon’s, but she made him, he thought, but nothing seemed to change in her condition. Ianto woke slowly, hearing Jack in the shower. He got up, stretching his muscles and walked over to the balcony, throwing open the curtains and letting the afternoon sun in. He stood there naked, holding the curtains when Jack walked in, wearing only a towel, which was wrapped low around his waist. Jack gasped when he saw Ianto standing naked in the sun. He walked over to Ianto, his towel falling to the wayside along the way as he wrapped his arms around his naked lover. Ianto moaned loudly as he felt Jack’s hands over him; he always knew the touch of Jack from any other touch, it had been like that before they had gotten married. Jack began to kiss and lick his back. Ianto moaned again, as he felt Jack pull on him, pushing him towards the bed. Ianto just let Jack lead, normally there would be a fight for who led but Ianto wanted to be comforted, taken care of and have his lover make love to him. Jack caught on to what Ianto wanted, as if they had a link to each other. Jack laid Ianto down in the middle of their bed, before he slowly climbed next to him, pressing his body against Ianto before he started to kiss his ear. Ianto closed his eyes and slowly began to give in to Jack, letting him do as he pleased. He felt his hand slowly trail down his perfect abs before he felt Jack move and climb in-between his legs. Jack began to kiss Ianto’s chest and abs, reveling in the pleasure that he was giving to Ianto. As Jack trailed his kisses down lower towards his cock, Ianto began to make little soft mewing noises. He kissed Ianto’s inner thighs before slowly lowering his mouth over his lover’s cock. Ianto jumped, thrusting deeper into Jack’s mouth and down his throat, as he grabbed Jack’s hair, screaming his name at the top of his lungs, trying not to cum at that moment. As Ianto settled down, Jack began to move his warm wet mouth up and down Ianto’s cock. Ianto didn’t last very long as Jack deep throated him and Ianto came hard and fast. Breathless, Ianto looked at Jack as he climbed next to him. Ianto trailed his hand down Jack chest and abs.
“Would you like me to take care of you Jack?” Ianto asked, kissing his neck and ear. Jack moaned as the sun began to start flooding the whole room. Ianto took this as a yes and began to slowly stroke Jack’s cock, as he pushed him on his back. Ianto climbed on top of him, kissing him softly. As Ianto moved down, closer to Jack’s cock, Jack began to let his mind wander. ‘Ianto and he had been growing closer then farther apart during the past year. Their sex had turned to back what it was when he first courted Ianto, sex every once and a while, filled with raw sexual energy and little passion.’ Jack suddenly cried out as he suddenly came. Ianto smiled as he cleaned Jack up with his tongue. Ianto climbed up next to him as he stroked Jack’s chest lovingly. They laid there in the silence for a moment then Ianto began to speak.
“I love you Jack.” Ianto whispered.
“I love you too Ianto. Did you wake up last night?”
“No I didn’t, I have a surprise for you tonight Jack, wear something nice.” Ianto said.
“Ok.” Jack said.
“Jack, I am sorry I have been bouncing back and forth with you. But after yesterday, everything became clear. I love you Jack.” He looked Jack in the eyes.
“I love you too Ianto!” He wrapped his arms around him, pulling him close. Ianto wrapped his arms around Jack and held him tightly against him. Suddenly the phone rang, startling them out of their embrace. Ianto and Jack both went after the phone, but in the end Jack was able to get it through the judicious use of tickling.
“Hello, Jones residence.” Jack said in a very professional sounding voice.
“Jack, it’s the Doctor, Athanasia has woken up, as far as I can tell she is perfectly fine.”
“That’s good to hear Doctor, tell her when she is on leave until I call her. I think she should understand.”
“I will tell her Jack, so when do I get my keys back?”
“When I say so, I will talk to you later Doctor.”
“Ok Jack…I’ll keep you updated on Athanasia’s condition. Bye.” With that the Doctor hung up. Jack set down the phone and then turned to Ianto. “So, would you like to go into work today or just stay here and have some more fun?”
“What is there at the hub to do…” Suddenly Jack’s watch went off, signaling rift activity. Both men got up and hurriedly got dressed as Jack sent out a message to Tosh, Owen and Gwen. They all made to the hub just in time to see that it had closed, Tosh got to work to see where it was and if anything came through. Suddenly the door opened up and Avalon walked in, her eyes fixed upon Jack. Ianto stepped protectively close to Jack as Owen began to walk over to her.
“Jack, may I speak to you privately?” She said, with a look of she would not take no for an answer. Jack nodded and patted Ianto on the shoulder before walking over to Avalon. Avalon in turn walked towards her office, opened the door for Jack and then closed it when he was in.
“Didn’t I put on an extended leave?”
“Yes.” She said curtly.
“Then why are you here?” Jack asked, crossing his arms.
“Because I came here to help Jack, I am not going to lay in bed while the team goes off on grand adventures! Besides, I can’t even look at the Doctor now…I love him and all, but I am still so mad at him for leave me so alone.” Jack looked at her and saw the dark circles under her eyes; her cheeks were slightly sunken in.
“Avalon, I can’t justify you coming back after what happened yesterday. You are or were a fucking drug addict! Either you or the Doctor discombobulated Ianto that he just collapsed yesterday.”
“I didn’t do shit to Ianto, I merely guided him through his first time vision. He is the one who started it.” She said defensively.
“Ianto isn’t a time lord, he is just Ianto. He was spouting off something that he was half time lord, half human, then he collapsed, I figured it was nonsense.” Jack replied back.
“Goddamit Jack don’t be stupid…Ianto was telling you the truth, I found out about it while I was researching why he was having visions all his life. His father was a Time Lord, his mother was a human…a woman not of time lord born…will become one…Jack that is Ianto! There is no other way around it, the only person that it could be his him. Rose died, I am a Time Lord and I don’t want kids because I am so fed up with the Doctor, Sarah Jane broke ties with him, Martha did too! You are a fact, which leave Ianto, Jack you’ve got to see it!” She said, almost pleading with him.
“OK I believe you, Avalon, now go home! You are not supposed to be in the Hub.”
“I am staying Jack, for the simple reason of you will need me here.” She looked him straight in the eyes. Jack felt a chill run down his spine, knowing what she meant.
“I am going to prove you and Ianto wrong.” Jack said storming out of her office. She began to sit down when Jack suddenly stormed back in. “And another thing…”
“Yes Jack?” She said, standing up straight.
“What the fuck is your name? Is it Avalon or Athanasia?” Jack asked.
“My birth name is Athanasia, but I rather enjoy being named Avalon, that’s the name I have stuff set up under. Only the Doctor is allowed to call me Athanasia.” Avalon told him. “Is there anything you need me to do, besides go back home, which I refuse to do.”
“Yes, get what ever you normally wear on and go check the Weevils, they are sensitive to time we believe and are slightly telepathic.” Jack said walking out. Avalon pulled her things on and walked out of her office. She made her way down to the Weevils, stopping when she heard Ianto call after her.
“Yes Ianto?” She said smiling as best she could.
“Why did you force me into your mind?” Ianto asked.
“I didn’t Ianto, I guided you along a journey, and you were the one who started it.” She said.
“No, you were calling me asking to lead you.”
“No you were asking for help, I could see you in vast sea of swirling liquid, barely keeping afloat. I knew what you were about to have, and if you didn’t have some one there to help you, you would be in a coma like state right along with me.” Her hands started shaking as she felt the withdraw of the Doctor leave her body. She put her hands in her pockets and looked at Ianto.
“What is happening to me? Why is this happening to me? I never wanted any of this! All I wanted was to live my life, with Jack, maybe adopt a child or two, and be happy, with out all these visions.”
“Ianto, this was going to happen eventually, it is in your genes.”
“But why Avalon?” She saw tears beginning to form, “Why?” Ianto asked as tears came down his cheeks. Avalon wrapped her arms around him protectively. “I’m so scared Avalon, I am so scared that I am going to lose Jack and I will be left alone to live my life, watching everything and everyone just fade away until the end of time its self.”
“Oh, my little Ianto, you are but a child, in this man’s body. Let his spirit be at rest.” Avalon said, she suddenly felt something trying to attack her. “Ianto, if you can hear me, go to the Weevils.” Ianto nodded and walked towards prison block. Avalon ran to the medical cabinet, beginning to rifle through it. Jack and Owen both came up to her as she pulled out a huge syringe.
“What the fuck are you doing Avalon?” Owen asked.
“Trying to save Ianto by killing him…” They were silent, “Just let me get everything ready and I will explain.”
“You are not killing a team member, especially Ianto.”
“Jack…Ah Ha! Found it!” She pulled a red liquid out and filled the syringe. “Ok Owen, find me more syringes, I may need them.”
“Ok.” Owen said running off.
“Jack I have one word for you…Master.” She looked at him. Jack stood there like a deer in the headlights. “I have a plan, I just need you to stay out of the way, Ianto will be fine, I promise.” Owen came back with more syringes and Avalon filled a few more with the red liquid and a clear liquid. She then ran back to where Ianto was and watched him. In her pocket were the syringes, prepped and ready to go. She walked in the room and closed the door, hearing it lock.
“You survived didn’t you Athanasia, you cunning woman.” Ianto walked towards her, touching her face softly, gently, loving. Avalon closed her eyes, enjoying the touch, but she whispered softly.
“Ianto please forgive me.” She whispered as she pulled out the syringe, plunging it into his neck. As she laid him down on the ground, a black cloud came out of his mouth. The cloud came towards her but stopped, seeing the door. As it went towards the door it realized that it was sealed. “The whole room is sealed, Ianto is dead, I am a time lord, all you have are the Weevils or this.” She held out a silver pocket watch. “Your choice.” She could swear she could see the cloud think. The pocket watch opened and the cloud went inside and closed. Avalon then reached into her pocket and pulled out the clear liquid and plunged it straight into Ianto’s heart, reviving him. He looked into her eyes, gasping for air.
“What, what happened, where am I?” Ianto asked.
“You are in the Hub, in the prison section, on the floor. What is your name?”
“Ianto Gethen Jones, married to Captain Jack Harkness, also known as Jack Jones. What the fuck did you do to me?” He held his head.
“I killed you.” Avalon said.
“Why did you kill me…wait why am I alive if you killed me?”
“I brought you back.” She replied.
“You mind telling me what happened?”
“The Master took over you…Mr. Saxon, he is a time lord, he was inside of you, I got him out but to do that I had to kill you so he would either go into a Weevil or a pocket watch. He chose the pocket watch. Then I brought you back, what did you see? Did you see a vortex?”
“Yes, but I was paralyzed, I couldn’t go near it, it was so scary, but I was able to get there, I guess that is what I go to know when I die?”
“No, you will be like Jack. You will still have visions but you have some one to talk to about them, and they should be rare again. What ever you do, don’t mention anything to the Doctor. I will speak with him, but you feeling ok?”
“Yeah” He stood up and straightened out his suit, “Feeling good. Oh here is Weevil spray if they get out of hand.” He tossed her a spray. She nodded and sat in the middle of the floor and closed her eyes opening her mind to theirs. Ianto walked back up to the main Hub and was immediately pounced by Jack, then Owen who wanted to take his vitals. Ianto assured them and everyone that he was fine, but he still sat for Owen’s tests. Once Owen cleared him, the alarm sounded again for rift activity.
“Busy day today.” Ianto said as Tosh pin pointed where it was.
“In the shipping dock.” She showed everyone where it was.
“Ok everyone, including you Ianto, get weapons, we are going hunting.” Jack said as everyone followed suit as Avalon came up, blood covering her shirt. “What happened to you?”
“Everyone else is leaving so I came up here to watch the movement and alert you to danger…”
“Avalon, go home…you did a good job today, go home and rest. But before you do, why do you have blood all over you?”
“I was trying to help the Weevils and one attacked me, I got cut, the Weevil got back into the cell as soon as it figured out what I was, I healed and came up here after hearing the alarm.”
“Get on the main computer and keep an eye out for anything…” Jack then leaned in and began to whisper. “Is Ianto, Ianto?”
“Ianto is back to some normal, he will have visions but rarely, the Master was exploiting them, which is why Ianto was having a tough time. I have taken care of everything; every one is waiting on you.” Her eyes look towards the team. Jack nodded as he ran up to Ianto who had his gun and jacket in his hands. Ianto put gloves on remembering that it was going to be cool that evening. They climbed into the SUV and went to the shipping dock. Arriving they climbed out and split up into two teams, Owen, Tosh and Gwen; and Jack and Ianto; they split off in their directions, looking for something that came through. After two hours of searching Jack and Ianto were chasing an alien through the containers until suddenly it was gone and they were at a dead end. A gentle rain began to fall as Ianto pushed Jack against the wall of the container, kissing him passionately, adrenaline pumping through their bodies. The rest of the team were still searching for it, giving updates to Jack and Ianto, along with Avalon at the hub. Ianto thought he heard something and as he pulled away, something whizzed past his ear and hit Jack squarely in the chest. Blood spurted every where as Ianto saw that it hit Jack’s heart. Jack fell on the ground as Ianto stood there in shock, everything going in slow motion. He dropped down and held Jack, telling him not to leave him as the site was sickening. Ianto could see almost all the way through Jack, what was left of his heart was still trying to pump, bone, guts and cartilage was everywhere as the alien they were chasing came through the wall and stabbed Ianto in the back, fillet him like a fish, following the spin. In the shock of everything, he didn’t even feel pain as he fell on top of Jack. Realizing that he was hurt, he started dragging Jack and himself towards an open area where the team could meet them. Suddenly the team runs around the corner as Ianto looks up and sees himself.
“That’s him, that’s the alien!” the alien said, pointing at the real Ianto.
“Help me please! I need you to help Jack, he is an imposter!” Ianto said back. The team looked at them both as Ianto continued to drag Jack with him.
“He is the imposter, look he is trying to steal Jack!” the alien yelled. As Ianto got closer, he ripped his gloves off, showing the tattoo and his wedding ring. Gwen and Owen ran over to him and took Jack away, leaving Ianto bleeding out everywhere.
“God damn it! Listen to me, Tosh…check his hands, check for a wedding band and the tattoos, they need to exactly look like this.” He held up his left hand. Tosh pulled off his gloves, seeing not only no tattoo but no wedding ring. Ianto began to feel lightheaded, all the pain he had pushed down and a darkness creeping in. Realizing he had a clear shot he pulled out his gun and shot the alien through the head. Upon death he changed back into his real form of a jellyfish plasma thing. Owen ran over, after hearing the shot, saw the plasma and Ianto slowly fading. Med kit still in hand he cut away Ianto’s clothing from his back as Ianto thrashed half screamed and cried for help and for Jack. Gwen and Tosh had to hold him down as Owen stitched him a bit and had a blood pack going into him. Once inside the SUV, Ianto was next to a very dead Jack, but never the less he held his cold dead hand as they traveled back to the Hub. On the way Ianto blacked out, not waking until a week later. Avalon was looking at him, smiling softly, but also looking like she hadn’t slept in a week.
“You’re awake.” She said softly.
“Where’s Jack? He should be alive by now!”
“Jack is still dead Ianto; I have kept him out and will continue to do so until he comes back.” She said, looking into his eyes. All Ianto could do was cry, as he felt his heart break.
