Love Though Any Time (4/?) Torchwood NC-17
Chapter Three
James
Emmett walked slowly towards where Jack stood. I noticed Gwen looking at both of them; by the thoughts in her head she was quite surprised. I didn’t hear anybody else’s thoughts since I was very good at controlling my telepathy, but I knew what we were all thinking, were they lovers?
“You haven’t changed a bit, well unless I got it wrong and you’re his relation,” Emmett said when they ended up standing face to face, “And it turns out he lied to me.”
Jack smiled, “No I didn’t lie to you, Emmett,” He replied holding out his hand, “I’m still the same Jack that you met over 65 years ago.”
I watched as Emmett shook his hand before Jack turned to all of us. He smiled at the look on our faces and started to laugh.
“This is Captain Emmett Kingston, we were both in the RAF,” Jack explained with a smile, “One of our best pilots.”
“You were good as well, Captain Jack Harkness,” Emmett told him and patted him on the back, “Don’t you deny it.”
I couldn’t help but focus on Jack’s thoughts. They were mostly about how he was handsome, about how it was great to see him again but nothing really about a past relationship. Though Jack’s eyes were on me like he knew I was reading his mind, listening in on his thoughts. He smiled, which seemed to catch Emmett’s attention.
“You know James Elton and Gwen Cooper of course from before,” Jack said when he saw Emmett look in my direction, “But may I introduce you to Ianto Jones,” He said pointing to Ianto who had decided to stand next to me.
“Hello,” Ianto said with a small smile before whispering to me, “got anything?”
I shook my head, “Jack keeps changing his thoughts” I whispered back.
“What about Emmett?”
“He keeps thinking about a training exercise and a man in uniform.”
“You or Jack?”
“How the hell should I know?” I whispered again before noticing Jack’s eyes upon us. We both composed ourselves, “Sorry,” I told him.
Jack sort of glared before speaking again, “Alright we are taking Emmett here back to the hub to finish our interview, James could you ring Martha and take Emmett back to the hub with you and Gwen, Ianto when we get back could look up any articles and reports detailing disappearances and well let’s get back to the hub.”
As we walked back to the car, Emmett couldn’t help but stopping at the sight of my blue Ford Focus parked next to the SUV.
“Wow, cars have certainly changed from 1942;” He observed with a smile, “By the way Jack and I weren’t lovers.” He added looking up at me.
“Who ever said you were?” I asked before opening the door of the car.
Ianto
I stared out at the lights that were shining from the buildings on the way back to the hub. Jack was talking about various things that I couldn’t seem to hear as I couldn’t stop thinking about Emmett. James would never lie about Jack changing his thoughts as he would because he didn’t want James to know what he was really thinking.
“So do you agree?” Jack asked, which snapped me from my thoughts.
“About what sir?” I asked in earnest, looking at him with my blue eyes.
“You weren’t listening weren’t you,” Jack said with a smile, “I asking you if you agree that James should go and find someone.”
“Sorry I was thinking about that pilot, the one you obviously slept with during WW2.” I replied with a smile, “As to the question, I think you should leave him alone.”
“Emmett and I weren’t lovers, we never slept with each other or even shared a kiss,” Jack snapped while trying to watch the road, “Besides you were the one who said I should be spending time with James.”
“Yeah well maybe you’re making him anxious,” I told him, “Sir, are we having an argument?”
“I think we’ve started one yes,” Jack replied with a smile.
“Well as we are arguing then you could me who Emmett really is to you,” I told him.
“Alright, Captain Emmett Kingston saved my life once in a bar,” He replied with a sigh, “He is the only solder I ever told about my immortality.”
“Why did you tell him?” I asked rather surprised.
“You wouldn’t believe me if I told you,” Jack replied rather solemnly.
