Gwen flopped down into the bar stall with a huff, she couldn't believe that Ianto refused to open up about his past once more. Couldn't he understand that she was just trying to get her head around what happened, about why he had been chosen like little Jasmine by the fae and why he decided to stay instead of leaving with them like all the other children. It just didn't make sense, but Jack refused to let her interrogate Ianto and Tosh and Owen seemed to suddenly get chummy with him that they weren't letting her have a second alone with him and for some unknown reason her codes weren't letting her into the archives.
"So, the guy over there's been staring at me all evening, and I told him he's wasting his time, but he won't listen. So, I've come over to talk to you because I know how these ends. He gets a punch in the next and I get barred. And I've already been barred from about twenty pubs, and I don't want to get barred from this one because they do these nice olives on the tables" A blonde-haired woman said pulling Gwen out of her thoughts before the woman added "I'll buy you a drink".
"Fine" Gwen said giving her an odd look, she had hope to have some peace and quiet so she could come up with a new plan. Maybe she needed to get Jack on her side then he can order Ianto into explain himself.
"JD and Coke, and Gwen, what do you want?" the woman said turning from the bartender to look at Gwen.
"How do you..?" Gwen trailed off, the woman knew who she was, but then again should she be surprised after she was well known in the police, for her certain sets of skills.
"I know who you are. You could say I'm a massive fan of Gwen Cooper, you've had such an impressive reputation with the police, and then hired to a remarkable organisation like Torchwood. You're all the rave these days, ever scavenger wants to meet you" Mary lied.
"Well I am that amazing" Gwen said missing the woman rolling her eyes "What's your name?".
"Mary. And I would to hear everything you have done for Torchwood, people said that it was you who single handedly make Torchwood charge for the better to start helping those who need it. I feel much safer on Cardiff streets with you protecting them" Mary said stroking Gwen's ego in all the right places to not notice the manipulation techniques she was using, and it worked because the pair moved to table away from the bar and Gwen started talking about her time in torchwood.
"I'm the heart of this team, Jack said so himself, yet they won't let me try to understand what's going on. How are they expecting me to adapt and help them feel more human if I don't know what's made them inhuman in the first place. Like recently we found out that Ianto Jones – he's basically our butler, he had no other use that make use coffee and buy food – anyway, he was this chosen one of these aliens when he was a kid and I just want to know why. He's practically useless, and I don't see what the fae saw in him, but I just want to understand, and they won't let me. I'm Jack's second in command so they should follow my command" Gwen whinged, she had so much pent up anger revolving around Ianto Jones, he was getting more on her nerves than the pathetic butler should do.
"It's seems like your problem is this Ianto fella. From what I've hear Jack is obviously in love with you and wants to be with you but this Ianto person is holding him back. Any ordinary person would have made a move, maybe Ianto has something on Jack to hold him hostage or is using alien technology to keep Jack for himself" Mary suggested, she need to plant a seed of doubt in Gwen's mind so when she becomes desperate then Gwen has no choice but to come to Mary for help.
"That's what I'm thinking after all who could resist me but Ianto's in charge of the archives so if there was anything alien which he's used on Jack, only he would have access to it and my codes to even enter the archives aren't currently working so it's not like I could go down there and find it" Gwen said slumping in her chair, Ianto seemed to have control over everyone at Torchwood and she as the heart of torchwood needs to save them, then they can finally start appreciating her for how important she is after all there is no torchwood without Gwen Cooper.
