Summary: I know, this is another story idea that I came up with and have posted some of it on my livejournal but figured that the rest of my readers will want to read it as well. Hope you enjoy the story and leave all the comments that you want. I won't get that mad, I promise. Just review if you like it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Torchwood but I do own Erin and no one can have her. Do you hear me no one can take my beautiful creation (unless you ask nicely then you can borrow her.)
Chapter One
The wind blew softly blew in my face as I made my way across the street. To me, it had been a long time since my last voyage here and it felt as if I had never left.
I smiled as I came closer to my destination, taking giant leaps across the payment until I was standing in front of the building. The outside looked exactly the same since the last time I was there but this time would be different for me. This time I would actually get to see what was inside, if I didn't get shot first.
Opening the door, I was stunned to not see the person I was looking for but instead a young woman with black hair standing behind the small desk. For a moment I looked around confused but was sure that I was in the right place so decided to go ahead with my plan.
"Ah can I help you." the woman asked me as she turned her attention from whatever was on her desk to me.
"Um I hope you can because I'm looking for someone." I give her a smiles as I blow my messy blonde hair out of my face because it was starting to get on my nerves and making me even more anxious.
"Oh I'm sorry but then I don't think I can help you. This is a tourist shop."
I rolled her eyes as the woman pointed to sign on the desk and the pamphlets that covered it. "I know that this is a tourist shop, I looking for someone who works here." I replied smartly as I continued to give her my "duh" look. What did she think I was, an idiot.
"And who would that be."
"Ianto, Ianto Jones."
"I'm sorry" the woman stuttered as she backed away from the desk but never taking her eyes off me. "I don't know anyone by that name."
"Oh I think you do." I continued to smile as the woman tried her best to give her a vague expression, clearly trying to throw me off but I wasn't having it. "He's the tea boy for Torchwood."
"How do you know about Torchwood?"
"Maybe because it's written on the side of your SUV or maybe it's because I know Ianto and really would like to see him."
The woman behind the desk didn't say anything as she continued to stare at me like I was crazy before she walked from behind the desk and over to the corner. I couldn't see her but I could hear speaking as if she was talking to somebody. I smiled at the thought of ruffling her feathers before the sound of a door opening shook me out of my thoughts.
"Okay, who are you?"
I turned to see a man standing beside the lady now and both were wearing suspicious looks on their faces. "Now how is that fair. You don't answers my questions but I have to answer yours."
"Look miss we don't want any trouble-" the woman started to say but I didn't feel like hearing anything she had to say and quickly interrupted her.
"And I don't want to cause any" I say rudely but not really caring. "I just want to know where Ianto is. I really need to see him."
"You have two seconds-"
The sound of the man's voice was drowned out by the sound of the door opening again and this time the person I was looking for stepped out. His suit was a bit wrinkled and his tie a bit crooked but I didn't care; I had found who I was looking for. He looked up at me and immediately broke into a smile before running up to me and pulling me into the biggest hug I'd ever had in my life.
"Oh my God what are you doing here?" Ianto screamed at me excitedly once my feet hit the floor again.
"What, a girl needs to reason to cross an entire ocean to come see her best friend."
"When it comes to you then yes."
"You're just jealous because my job actually lets me have time off" I tease as I playfully punch him in the shoulder. We were so caught up in each other that we forget about the other people in the room until the man clears his throat to gain our attention.
"Yan you want to tell me who this is."
"Oh sorry Sir." Ianto's professional voice coming back instantly. "Jack-"
"That's Jack. That's the Jack."
"Yes that's, the Jack."
"Hmm, you could do worse" I shrug as I give Jack another once over. I knew that Ianto was absolutely smitten with the Captain but I on the other would need further persuasion. "Of course you could always do better."
"Anyways." Jack growled, I think at me but I really didn't care and prompted Ianto to finish talking.
"Like I was saying, Jack and Gwen this is my best friend Erin Richards or Ronnie for short. Erin, Gwen Cooper and Captain Jack Harkness."
"Nice to meet you" Gwen smiled at me and I eagerly return it. Ianto had told me a lot about his Torchwood teammates and it was nice to finally meet them; well two of them anyway."
"Actually it's always Erin" I smile as I walk over to Jack and Gwen and shook their hands. "Yan here just likes to press my buttons and one day he just might press the wrong one."
"Oh yeah, what are you going to do about it; pout like the little girl scout you are."
"No, I'm going to light a fire up your ass like the boy scout you wish you were."
"That wasn't in the manual." Ianto smiled, throwing an arm over my shoulder and placing a friendly kiss to the side of my cheek. It was a great feeling having him close to me again and made me miss him even more.
"Still prim and proper I see." I joked, pinching him in his side causing him to jump into the air.
"And still the raving tart that I know."
"I didn't see a reason to change so I didn't." I shrug as my arm finally made my way around his waist and pulled him closer.
"Yan" Jack sternly replied looking back and forth between us. "You mind telling us who she is."
I knew Jack was probably wondering who I was and why had told me all about their secret organization but I didn't care. I had my best friend back and I wasn't going to let any one ruin it.
"Of course sir but can we do it downstairs please."
"Seeing as how she already knows about us I don't see why not." Jack blew as he pressed some button for the mysterious door to open again and went through it followed by Gwen.
I stood there for a moment registering it all in as I pulled Ianto into another hug. "You mean I finally get to see the infamous Torchwood Three up close and personal."
"In all it's glory."
I smiled again as he grabbed my hand and lead me away while the metal door behind me closed.
So there is my new story. Hope you liked it and it brought you a bit of happiness.
