Reflections, Part Eight
Title: Reflections, part eight
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: none.
Summary: While making upgrades to the hub, Jack & Ianto come face-to-face with decisions past.
A/N: Part Five in the Horizon's Sing generated AU Something that Starts with "S"; written for the new redismycolour challenge, day eight (Allegro). This is incredibly short, but to the point.
PART SEVEN
Jack didn't slow as he let his feet fall heavily on each cold step, nor did he turn around to check that Ianto was there. At the landing, he stopped for a moment and spoke to the door, "If this doesn't work, you could try staying in the same reality as her; if you want." He stepped forward and began priming the door hydraulics, but Ianto's hand grasped his forearm. Jack finally raised his eyes to Ianto's and saw understanding.
"Lisa Hallett, my Lisa, died at Canary Wharf. A cybermen used her body and memories, but she was gone. I've accepted that Jack, I thought you understood that by now." Ianto pulled Jack against him, "Lisa is my past- you are my present."
Jack smiled as Ianto leaned in and gave him the softest of kisses, a simple reminder of where they stand. Jack wrapped his arms around Ianto's waist to pull their bodies together and for a moment they nearly forgot the situation they were in. Until the hatch hissed open and a familiar voice with electronic overtones pulled them back to reality.
"Surrender and prepare for upgrade."
