Gwen rushed through the cog door, squeezing through the gap as soon as she could while glancing about her frantically.
“Jack? Ianto?” She called out, “Are you here?”
Ianto appeared from the small kitchenette hold two mugs, steam curling upwards from the freshly brewed coffee they held.
“Want one?” He asked.
“No, where's Jack?” Gwen answered, looking more than a little flustered.
“In the archives, we been doing some … filing ...” Ianto replied with a small smile.
“I believe you,” Gwen answered with a small laugh, “I saw something really weird a few minutes ago, really weird.”
“Lead the way,” Ianto told her, following her a little slower, not wanting to spill the hot coffee.
Jack looked up, expecting to see Ianto and a little surprised to see Gwen.
“Aren't you meant to be Christmas shopping today?” Jack asked, tidying his clothing while Gwen tried not to look.
“Yes, but I just … well, something really strange just happened,” Gwen replied. “I had just down down in the coffee shop, you know the one above Waterstones that looks out towards the old, abandoned church?”
“St Andrews?” Ianto put in, arriving and having Jack one of the mugs.
“Yes,” Gwen responded. “and, well, the only way I can explain it is that four people appeared suddenly out of nowhere!”
“Like in Star Trek?” Ianto grinned.
“No!” Gwen stated, “there was this bright light, a big circle and these people stepped though it next to the church.”
“Human?” Jack frowned.
“From what I could see from a distance, but are we the only humanoids in the universe?” Gwen answered,
“No,” Jack said, pondering for a moment, but i've not come across any that can appear in that manner.”
“A species you haven't … come across yes?” Ianto put in with a small smirk, making Gwen chuckle.
“Was there else anyone around, that you see?” Jack asked. “Did they spot them?”
That's another weird thing, there was a couple of people wandering through the old gravestones nearby and they didn't seem to see anything.”
“Yup, very weird,” Ianto put in.
“Okay, then I guess we should go and see what has arrived,” Jack said, quickly drinking down his now cooling coffee. “Ianto, get the car, we'll meet you out the front.”
Ianto nodded and headed off while Jack and Ianto made their way through the hub towards the lift.
“You didn't notice anything else?” Jack questioned Gwen while they walked.
“They were too far away,” Gwen replied.
“Then we shall just have to go and investigate,” Jack grinned, grabbing his coat and shrugging it on in time for them to step on the slab that would take them up to the plaza.

Pulling the car up outside the church, they sat there for a moment but they couldn't see anything from their position. Exiting the car they made their way up the overgrown path towards the abandoned church.
Gwen stopped suddenly.
“Did you see that?” She asked, confused look on her face.
“See what?” Ianto asked, looking about as Jack continued towards the church.
“For a moment, just a moment, the church looked as good as new,” she frowned. “now it looks like it has for as long as I can remember.”
“Trick of the light?” Ianto shrugged.
“Oy, you too, come on,” Jack shouted back to them.
Gwen and Ianto hurried to catch him up, he was standing about six feet away from the doors, glancing about the surrounding graveyard but there wasn't a soul in sight.
“The door look like they haven't been opened in decades,” Jack frowned. “are you sure they went inside Gwen?”
“Yes, I watched them,” Gwen grumbled. “I didn't imagine it!”
“Okay, I believe you,” Jack chucked. “lets try the doors then.”
They had gone barely two steps when Gwen spotted something out the corner of her eye.
“There!” She stated, stopping and pointed to their right, “They just came from around the back of the church.”
“Where?” Ianto asked. “I can't see anyone.”
“By that big old oak tree,” Gwen told him, pointing again.
“I have to say, I can't see anyone either,” Jack said.
“They're right there!” Gwen stated, frustration clear in her tone of voice.
Jack and Ianto looked at each other, not sure what to say to her, they couldn't see anyone.
Gwen let put a huff and stalked off towards the four people she could clearly gathered together by the old oak tree, now watching her.
“Hey,” Gwen called, waving a hand at them, increasing her pace and wondering if she was seeing ghosts that were invisible to the rest of her team mates. “You lot, who are you?”
The group of four were new staring at her with looks of confusion on their faces, whispering to each other until she came to a halt two feet in front of them.
“How can you see us?” The obviously human blonde guy asked.
“Of course I can see you why wouldn't I?” Gwen answered. “You're right in front of me, you're obviously not ghosts … so why can I see you but my friends can't?”
“You must have the sight,” put in the tall, dark haired man beside him.
“The sight?” Gwen frowned. “So I'm psychic? You are ghosts or spirits or something?”
Gwen glanced over her shoulder, back at where Jack and Ianto were standing with expressions on their faces that she guess were part confusion and part that she had lost her mind.
“We're not ghosts,” the blonde guy told her. “we are shadowhunters, and the reason your friends can't see us if because we are glamoured.”
“Shadowhunters? Glamoured?” Gwen huffed, “Okay, whatever that means you need to stop it so my friends can see you,. They obviously think I have lost the plot!”
“Is she one of us?” the girl with the very vivid red hair asked. “I mean, I never knew anything about you until that night outside Pandemonium.”
“No, I think she is just a human with the sight,” The blonde replied.
“Look.” Gwen said, getting impatient, sweeping her eyes towards the forth member of the group and taking in his more flamboyant clothes, spiked up hair and eyeliner. “whatever I am doesn't matter, I need you to make yourselves to be seen so they can see me!”
Gwen pointed behind her.
“Fine,” The dark haired one sighed, making her think of Ianto.
“Good, then come with me,” she said, leading the group across the churchyard to her team mates.
“I'm not mad,” she said, stopping in front of Jack and Ianto, then she turned and said to the group behind her. “now, please?”
They looked at each other, nodded in unison and she watched while they waved something over a tattoo on their arms and the man with the spiky hair and eyeliner wave his hands about, lights sparking from his fingers.
Turning back to Jack and Ianto she smiled at the looks of confusion and shock on their faces.
“They call themselves Shadowhunters,” Gwen told them with a smirk, “apparently I have something called the sight which meant I could see them when you couldn't, they have de-glamoured!”
“Shadowhunters?” Jack asked, “Never heard of you?”
“Why would you, you're human?” The blonde replied.
“Not exactly,” Jack answered, just as the heavens opened and it began pouring down with rain.
“Got to love the Welsh weather,” Ianto dead panned, producing an umbrella from somewhere.
“We should go inside” the redhead suggested.
“We could go back to the hub,” Ianto suggested. “where it will be warm and dry.”
“Don't worry, you won't be cold or wet here,” the blonde smirked, leading the way.

“You were saying? Jack grumbled and shivered.
The redhead chuckled, taking Jack's hand while the blonde grasped Ianto's and The dark haired man grabbed Gwen's. All three whatched then pass something that glowing stick over the tattoos on their bodies and before them the churched changed. The interior became bright, the walls looking like they must have done when they were new and the air became positively warmer.
“How?” Ianto gasped.
“It's beautiful,” Jack stated.
“So I wasn't imagining things when I saw the church look different outside earlier!” Stared Gwen.
“Another glamour, so Mundanes like you can't see what you don't need to.” the blonde answered.
“Mundanes?” Ianto asked.
“Humans, those without angel or demon blood.” the dark haired man added.
“Okay, I think we need to talk,” Jack stated. “do you have coffee?”
“We have a machine,” The red haired woman replied.
“Lead the way!” Ianto grinned and followed her down a hallway.
