A/N: Double drabble.

Even after everything that happened with Lisa, or the Cyberman masquerading as Lisa, Jack had never revoked Ianto’s access to the secure archives. That had struck him as odd at the time; there were a lot of extremely dangerous and sensitive items stored in there, things that could cause untold damage if used improperly, even things that could prove lethal.

Had Jack been hoping Ianto would arm himself with one, providing a good excuse for terminating him permanently, or had he simply forgotten he’d given Ianto the access codes in the first place? He never said, and Ianto never asked. He didn’t want to know the answer.

The point remained that the codes never changed, so when the rest of the team staged their insurrection, Ianto had simply given them the relevant one and joined them in opening the Rift. Not one of his better decisions, admittedly.

Then Jack had died, resurrected, and left, still without making any changes to the security systems, which was probably a good thing. Leaderless for months, at least they’d had access to everything they might need.

Maybe that was why Jack hadn’t changed anything. He’d known someday they’d have to carry on without him.

The End
