The Chosen One

Into The Fae's World

Ianto didn't say a word as he stormed up to the main part of the hub from the cells. Tosh and Owen were standing just outside the conference room looking down but Ianto didn't pay them any attention. Why the hell had Jason made his move now? How long had he been watching them? And why the hell hadn't he been able to sense him. Unless the Jason he fought all those weeks ago had changed but he couldn't have. It takes years for someone's powers to develop, so unless Jason had kept quiet for years then Ianto should have been able to sense him.

"Ianto what's wrong? Who's Jason?" Jack asked following after the fae.

"Jason is that rogue fae I told you about. The one who attacked Estelle" Ianto said walking over to the nearest computer and started typing away, fae didn't really use technology, they never had the need to but the queen had demanded when some of her operatives entered the human world undercover, she wanted some technological line to her just in case of emergencies. Ianto had never need to use it before.

"If Jason's back now, should one of us make sure Estelle safe?" Jack asked but Ianto shook his head. Jason wouldn't go after the same person a second time, he had a plan and he knew that the fae were personally protecting Estelle, Jason wouldn't risk going after her now.

"Estelle's safe. She's meeting the fae queen, Jason knows he would be captured if he came into the fae's world" Ianto replied pressing the last buttons on the keyboard as the torchwood mainframe connected to the fae's world. Ianto saw the surprised look briefly appear on the queen's face as she turned from Estelle and looked down at the iPad which suddenly turned itself on. She knew who it was, none of her other operatives knew much about how to use technology – only the basics except for Ianto Jones. Ianto heard Jack, Tosh and Owen shuffle behind him as he bowed his head out of respect for his queen.

"... Ianto. Well this is certainly a different way to get my attention. What's wrong?" the queen asked.

"Your majesty, Jason has taken Gwen Cooper from Torchwood" Ianto said, a conflicted emotion passed quickly in the queen's eyes before disappearing and her calm and collective persona was back.

"Ianto, I want you to bring the remaining torchwood members who are loyal to you here including the immortal one. Yes, I know it will cause uproar, but we have no choice, I will deal with any backlash of his presence, just get them here when you can. I'm activating phase omega 59" The queen ordered before turning the iPad off. Ianto let out a shaky breath before standing up and straighten his suit.

"What phase omega 59?" Tosh asked, it had to be some sort of procedure or protocol but for what Tosh wasn't sure.

"Recall all fae operatives back to our world then we get sealed in" Ianto replied.

"And your Queen wants us there, isn't there some law against it" Jack asked, from what the queen had said, he was the last person any of the fae would want to welcome to their world let alone some humans.

"Not really as long as the queen has welcomed them to our world we can bring humans in, we just don't. Actually, aside from Estelle, you'll be the first humans to step foot in our world for over thousands of years" Ianto said.

"So, teaboy, how do we get there? Do we need to run at a wall between platform 9 and 10 or dance around some flowers singing an ancient song" Owen teased, Ianto just rolled his eyes of course, Owen would think that faes were just like hippies, not that Ianto had anything against them it was just the faes had control of the elements and lived with nature didn't mean everything they did was completely encompass it but still Ianto decided to play along.

"Yes, Owen you're exactly right and please go first. You need to do a little dance before running into the wall. Oh, and do remember to project your voice so people on the bay can hear you" Ianto laughed slightly hoping Owen would fall for it and they would have video evidence of the hub CCTV.
