Summary: Everything began with some chocolate, a pterodactyl and a nice coat. Some very good hot coffee was involved too, if I got it right…

Warning: That’s a Jack/Ianto story of epic proportion, nearly ended in its French version. Even if I stick to the canon, it’s a complete different story running alongside what you watched on TV. Oh, and it’s a fix it story of course!
Disclaimer: I’m not making any money out of this, I’m just doing it for fun and because I love them, as you do.

“Hi Tosh I’m on my way to pick Owen and Suzie… Right, ok… Oh! By the way, last night I hired a pterodactyl and a butler, try not to shoot them on the spot… No, no… You got it right, a butler and a pterodactyl, call me back when you got there…”  Jack said, as he slammed on the brake to stop by a very upset Owen.

Some time latter, they came back from a very exhausting hunt, with two vicious Kratags lying dead in the back of the SUV. Suzie was slightly injured, and Owen was apparently running for the Bad Temper World Champion’s Cup. So when the doctor spotted a well-dressed butler coming out of their secret entrance to the car park, he nearly shot him! Jack got there just in time to stop him; he had warned Tosh but had forgotten the others…

“Mea culpa!” Jack said before he introduced them “Ianto Jones, our newbie… Mister Jones, Owen Harper and Suzie Costello…”

“Doctor Owen Harper,” Owen corrected, but walked past the young man, openly ignoring him to rush for the autopsy bay dragging Suzie along with him. She didn’t seem to care much more and merely threw Jack a look of surprise.

“Nice to meet you, Doctor Harper…” That was all what Ianto was able to say before they had vanished from his sight.
Ianto didn’t seem to feel that much concerned by his new colleagues’ rudeness. Instead he turned back to have a look at what was in store for him in the back of the car.

“Careful!” Jack warned him.

“Kratags. Their blood is pretty allergenic; Miss Costello is in for a bad night” noted Ianto quietly before adding:
“I’ll get myself some latex gloves.” He withdrew, leaving Jack, who was coming to expect this calm competence from his new hire, behind.

Ianto came back wearing gloves and rolling a trolley.

“Shall I put them in storage or take them directly to the autopsy bay?”

“Storage. I’m afraid Owen will have to wait for this. Conference room in 30 minutes.”

“Aye, aye sir. » was Ianto’s only answer, as he carried on with his task.

When Jack reached the Hub’s main level he nearly had a heart attack. “What the hell happened here?” he asked.

Tosh reluctantly took her eyes from her screen to look up not understanding what the fuss was about. He made a sweeping gesture to indicate their surroundings

“Oh. That would be your boy friend…” she answered flatly, turning her interest back to her screen.

“He’s not my boy friend!” Jack exclaimed, just as Owen and Suzie chose to come back from the autopsy bay.

“Stop it. Jack. Nobody’s going to believe that, not even Tosh,” Suzie threw at him while going back to her workstation.

“Anyway, he seems to be quite a good house maid. You should hire him!” she added.

“As a butler. Already has the suit.” Owen smirked.

“It seems that we do need someone to clean up after you.” Jack pointed out. “Personally I am tired of living in this mess.”

Precisely 30 minutes after he had been asked to, Ianto Jones made his entrance in the conference room carrying a tray loaded with cups, teaspoons, sugar and hot coffee for everyone. He placed a very black coffee, just the way Jack liked it, in front of the Captain, gave a hazelnut coffee to Tosh, and espresso to the others. Then he went to stand by Jack’s side, waiting for what would come next.

“Wow. What training! We can see what seduced you.”Suzie smirked.

Jack closed his eyes, as much to concentrate on the wonderful beverage as to keep temper.
“Mister Jones is going to maintain this place from now on. I beg you to keep your useless comments to yourselves. We’ve got work to do!”

Afterwards, when they had all left the conference, Jack was in a payback mood.
“By the way, did I mention that I also hired a guard pet?” he said playfully as he released Myfanwy, using his wrist strap. He whistled and the pterodactyl which had just taken off, answered in a shrill cry before diving in order to catch the chocolate the captain had thrown.

Owen threw himself under the shelter of the nearest table. Tosh had taken refuge behind Jack, as she didn’t have her weapon with her. Suzie didn’t move. She stayed there, fascinated “What the hell..?” She managed to say.

“Pterodactyl,” Ianto answered flatly, as he was making his way to the kitchenette, slaloming through them with his tray under Owen unbelieving stare.
