Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd.

Ianto stood at the base of the lift as it began to descend, the Captain aboard along with two others, one being Martha, a friend to Torchwood but the other was yet a stranger. Ianto waited silently as Martha stepped off the lift, she came towards him, enveloping him in a hug but still he remained quiet, eyes fixed upon his Captain. Martha seemed to realise this and glanced back to Jack before going to speak with Gwen.
Jack voice boomed out as he introduced the other man to Torchwood.
“Mickey Smith, welcome to Torchwood Cardiff.”
“Wow, it’s huge. You compensating for something Captain.” The other man, Mickey smirked at Jack.
“You wish Mickey Mouse!” The two began laughing together, like old friends, which as far as Ianto knew, they could well be. Jack continued his introductions, seemingly oblivious to the look he was getting from Ianto.
“Over there, talking to Martha is Gwen Cooper, our police liason…”
“Oi! It’s Williams now Jack. Rhys would have you if he heard you calling me Cooper.” Gwen’s voices drifted over to them.
“Right you are Mrs Williams, Ma’am! And this is Ianto Jones, he’s our general support, he archives, gets us everywhere on time, is a damn good shot, mans the tourist office and well, just look at him…”
Jack finally noticed the frown on Ianto’s face.
“Hey, Ian, what’s up?”
The Welshman’s voice is quiet and Jack has to lean forwards slightly to hear his softly accented words.
“Tosh saved us, kept me and Gwen alive and you’re replacing her, just like that. I’m guessing he’s going to fill Tosh’s place, and Martha obvious has Owen’s. We should be dead Jack, the two of us, but it was Tosh who saved the day once again. She never said she’s completed the time-lock, but she did.”
The younger man simply turned away.
“The world may never have known, may forget, may allow her to be replaced, but I, I shall never forget that once more Toshiko Sato saved us all!”
