***

He tried to resist. Pushing against the bounds that held his hands tight. "Please..." But that only got him a hard slap across his face. He begged in his head, pleading with his captors to get off him. But they stayed. Thrusting in and out of him with no seconds thoughts. They smiled at each other as they took turns. One pushing into him from behind. The other thrusting into his sobbing mouth. All he could think about was Jack, and how much he needed him there.

10 hours earlier

Ianto walked into the hub, a small smile on his lips. Everyone was already in, he was late. Owen stated the obvious, and Toshiko asked why nicely.

"Ran into an old friend, we got talking and I lost track of time." It was the truth, there was no need to lie to his friends, or boyfriend. Jack was staring at him, Ianto couldn't tell if he was mad at him for being late.

"So this old friend..." Gwen stated. "More than a friend?"

"Used to be," Ianto replied honestly. "Now just a friend." Jack's ears perked up at this.

"So this old lover..." Owen laughed. "Man or Woman?" Ianto rolled his eyes and walked to the coffee machine. "Well!" Owen shouted.

"What does it matter?" Ianto asked, his hands touching the right parts of the coffee machine to make the perfect cup.

"Just curious," Owen admitted. "So, which is it?"

"Man." Ianto confessed. He loved the fact that they all, including Jack, thought of him as this innocent boy. Jack especially.

"I didn't know you had past boyfriends," Gwen said. She was watching for Jack's reaction. The look on his face told him that he hadn't either.

"So, you lost track of time for an hour talking to this ex boyfriend?" Jack asked, hands on his hips staring at Ianto.

"An hour?" Ianto asked, "I didn't realise." He shrugged. He turned around and stared at Jack's expression. He gulped.; Jack was pissed.

"What did you talk about then?" Jack demanded.

"What does it matter what we spoke about?" Ianto asked. He looked at Owen and the others for some assistance, they were all staring at Jack with a similar expression as Ianto.

"You're keeping secrets from me!" It wasn't a question more like an angry statement.

"Fine, we spoke about you. He asked me if I was happy and I said yes. Then we spoke about what he's doing now. He's in a long term relationship with a guy name James. They're planning on having a civil partnership next spring, and adopt children. Anything else?" Ianto shouted back.

"Did you love him?" Jack asked, his voice a little quieter now. But still sharp with anger.

"I'm not answering that." Ianto said confidently. "You shouldn't ask me that!" He said as he pushed past Jack, all thoughts of making coffee fled from his mind. As he walked past Jack grabbed his arm tight, his finger nails digging into the soft skin. "You're hurting me, Jack." But Jack couldn't hear, he was so caught up in Ianto and him with another man. "Get the fuck off me!" Ianto screamed pushing Jack with all his energy.

Jack staggered back, his head hitting the wall behind him. "Ianto I'm so.."

"Save it." Ianto snapped, he walked downstairs and hid away into the archives. He held his wrists, the half moon shaped finger nail patterns decorated his skin, blood trickled lazily from one that had pushed to deep.

"What the fuck was that?" Owen screamed. "He was scared, Jack. Of you!"

"I didn't mean to, I don't know what came over me." Jack fought back tears. He had seen the look in Ianto's eyes. The fear. Ianto was afraid of him.

"Jack, you hurt him." Toshiko said softly.

"I know," Jack mumbled. "I need to talk to him..."

"No. I'm going to talk to him. You're going to go upstairs and do something." Owen said before heading down into the archives. Jack nodded weakly as tears fell freely from his broken eyes.

Owen walked downstairs and sighed when he saw Ianto putting files away, he had fallen into work. Much like he had after the incident with Lisa, then when Jack left. Owen knew that when Ianto was in this mood, it was hard for him to break out of it.

"Ianto, you okay?" Owen asked. There was no answer. Ianto had his sleeves rolled up and Owen could see Jack's fingernail prints it was as if they were glowing from his pale skin. "Shit."

"What do you want, Owen?" Ianto asked weakly.

"Check that you're okay." Owen said simply. Ianto just shrugged and continued to go through several files. "He's crying."

"Don't care," Ianto said stubbornly. "I didn't do anything wrong!"

"I know you didn't." Owen said, and it was the truth. "Jack was out of order." They fell into silence after that.

"How could he do that?" Ianto asked quietly. "He says he cares about me, treats me with such kindness to do that."

"I don't know why he did it. But I can tell he regrets it. Come on, you can't hide down here."

"I don't want to see him, Owen."

"Well, how about you come and sit with me then? I've got some reports that I need your help with."

Jack watched as Owen walked up with Ianto, neither man looked in his direction. Owen pulled a chair for Ianto and put it next to his own, and they started talking in quiet voices. Jack felt something rise in his stomach and all he wanted to do was hold Ianto tight, and tell him how sorry he was, but instead he was standing up and pushing his way out of his office.

"So you're with him now!" He shouted, making everyone look up at him. "Couldn't get me out of the way quick enough huh Ianto?"

"Jack, calm down." Owen said, he could feel Ianto shaking next to him. What the hell had gotten into Jack?

"Why? So you can comfort Ianto sooner. Make him your next shag. Because that's what he's good at, being people's shag. Never anything more!" Jack screamed, he had walked straight up to Owen, trying to push past to get to Ianto.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Owen shouted, pushing Jack back.

"I can't believe I didn't kill you!" He snarled. Looking directly at Ianto. "Maybe I should have. What good are you here really?" Toshiko gasped at Jack's comment, and felt her heart break at the site of Ianto; he looked as though he was ready to cry.

"You need to shut the fuck up Jack!" Gwen shouted.

"He's worthless. He only came here to save his girlfriend, couldn't even do that..." Before Jack could finish of his sentence, Ianto had punched him square in the jaw. But Jack didn't sway, he just laughed. He raised his fist and punch Ianto in the eye, making him fall backwards onto the cold concrete.

"Jack, what the fuck is wrong with you?" Gwen screamed. Owen had fallen next to Ianto, who had banged his head so hard he had passed out.

"Ianto, please tell me he isn't..."

"He isn't. But you need to leave. Now!" Owen screamed. Jack stared at Ianto's unconscious body and felt his heart rip into tiny pieces. He did that.

Owen carried Ianto's body to the autopsy bay, laying it onto the metal table. Gwen and Toshiko stood around him. "Something isn't right with Jack." Gwen said.

"State the fucking obvious, Cooper!" Owen hissed. Ianto opened his eyes and said something but no one heard, Owen assumed it was Jack's name. "How are you feeling?" Owen asked, helping him sit.

"I don't want to be here," Ianto said, tears falling from his eyes, though his right one was practically closed.

"I'll give you something for the pain, and drive you home." Owen smiled. The girls watched as Owen helped Ianto up, the two had gotten closer since Jack left, and even after they went out for drinks together. Owen shot Jack a look, he was watching from his office, and helped a shaking Ianto out of the office.

Gwen and Toshiko looked up at Jack, both a little scared to be near him. Jack walked down the stairs tears in his eyes and falling from his cheeks. "Something has happened to me." Jack stated.

"What?" Gwen asked, she shared a confused expression with Toshiko.

"I don't know what it is. But I'm angry. And I can't control it, there's no reason for it. But it shouldn't be there!" He was pacing, his fists clenching and unclenching at his sides. "I wouldn't hurt him... I wouldn't. I love him!"

Owen drove Ianto to his small apartment. He helped him into bed, as the painkillers he had given him had made him rather drowsy. "You'll be okay," Owen smiled. He sat on the bed next to Ianto, and felt the younger man lean into him, his head resting on his lap. Owen ran a hand through Ianto's hair gently. "He didn't mean it, he loves you."

"I'm nothing but a shag, you were right." Ianto said tiredly.

"No. I wasn't." Owen argued. "He loves you, something has happened to make him say all that. He wouldn't have done that, okay." Ianto didn't say anything else, just fell asleep curled up against Owen.

Three hours later, Owen walked into the hub alone. Gwen, Toshiko and Jack were at Toshiko's computer watching through footage of the cameras.

"How is he?" Toshiko asked softly.

"I had to give him a mild sedative because he woke up crying." Owen spat.

"I'm sorry," Jack sighed. "For what..."

"No. You need to apologise to him. Not me." Owen snapped. "Now, what are you lot doing?"

Gwen explained Jack's theory about something happening to him to make him act like that. Owen believed it straight away, because he knew just how much Jack cared about Ianto. Jack had asked him to run some blood tests to see if there was something in his blood, a toxin maybe. Owen did as he was asked. Hoping that Jack was right.

"You two are really close," Jack mumbled as Owen took blood.

"We're friends, Jack. Nothing more. Nothing less."

"I know. But he speaks to you. Tells you stuff he doesn't tell me." Owen wasn't too sure what stuff Jack was talking about specifically. He knew Ianto told him things, mainly because he was a doctor and noticed things the others hadn't. Mainly his eating disorder.

"When you left, he was a wreck." Owen sighed. "He pushed himself completely into work, didn't stop to eat or drink. I didn't notice at first, we were all too busy trying to find you. But then he collapsed, I knew what it was straight away, I didn't tell the girls. I just said he was tired, they brought it because he had just been moved to a field agent because you were gone, and he was doing all the office work, plus all your calls. He hadn't eaten in over two weeks when he collapsed. How he managed to stay awake for that long I have no idea. I made him eat, sat with him and spoke about anything and everything. I didn't leave until he ate something, and I stayed long enough for it to be in his system so he couldn't throw up. And do you know what he kept mumbling when he was in a state. 'just a shag'"

Jack felt more tears fall from his eyes. "It took me a month to convince him that he wasn't just a shag, because I've seen the way you look at him. And bloody hell he isn't just a shag is he? He didn't know what to do, he cried a lot. Some days when I tried to make him eat, he just point blank refused. Would scream and kick like he was a child. Sometimes I had to sedate him and put a drip in his arm so his body got the nutrients it needed. And all because of you, Jack."

"Why are you telling me this?" Jack sobbed.

"Because you need to know that he isn't just a shag. He loves you completely. And after today, you need to make it up to him. Because I don't want him to think he's just another shag, because it was hard helping him when he loved you but you were gone. How do you expect me to help him when you're here but he's afraid of you."

Owen finished the tests in silence, Jack not saying anything. But tears kept on falling from his eyes and Owen wondered whether or not he should have gone into detail on how fucked up Jack had made Ianto.

"Jack! We've got something!" Toshiko called from the bannisters. Jack and Owen who had just put Jack's blood in the scanner, rushed upstairs. "Look."

Toshiko pressed play on the screen. It was camera footage from last night. Ianto was walking towards the hub at half seven, getting ready to meet Jack for a date, he was wearing dark jeans, and a plain white shirt. He was walking with a small smile, one he wore when ever he was going out with Jack. As he was walking, a man bumped into him, his face away from the camera. Toshiko paused the screen, and Jack wondered why this was so important. But then she zoomed in, and Jack saw the tiny silver dust particles attach themselves to Ianto's skin. The man looked as though he had apologised to Ianto, and then walked away.

"Shit." Jack cursed.

"Do you know what that is?" Gwen asked, she didn't like the look on their Captains face.

"Its emotions." Jack groaned. "From my century. Their like drugs. I'm guessing if you look at my footage you'll find someone doing the same thing to me too."

"I don't get it," Toshiko sighed.

"It's anger. The silver dust, that's anger. It being on Ianto, and then some on me, means when I look at Ianto all I'll feel is anger. That's why everything today... How could I have not noticed!"

"You didn't know." Gwen said reassuringly.

"Wait, if they're from your time then does that mean someone is here looking for revenge?"

"Yeah, and they're using Ianto to hurt me!" Jack growled.

Ianto woke up and looked at the clock, half nine. He had been asleep for seven hours. He looked around with his good eye, expecting to see Owen around the flat. But there was no one there, and was suddenly feeling lonely. Owen didn't care enough to stick around. He got up, and looked in the mirror. His good eye was red from crying, whilst his right was a dark blue and the eyelids were close together. He felt his body shake when he realised it was Jack who had done this. Jack who had caused him so much pain.

Feeling the need to forget, Ianto pulled his shoes on. He needed alcohol and lots of it. He felt his stomach twist when he walked out of his apartment, as the cold air hit him he suddenly wished he had his jacket on and his gun with him.

He was being watched, he could feel eyes on his back as he walked down the street. He didn't know what to do, but he didn't have time to think of anything before he was being grabbed from behind and dragged into a car.

"He's not answering his phone!" Owen cursed.

"Toshiko, pull up..."

"Already have." Toshiko said, "There!" She yelled hysterically. Ianto walking out of his house, Ianto being grabbed, and taken. "Jack, is it me or did they want you to see that?"

"They wanted me to see that, they want me to find them. Follow the car through the CTV and tell me where they go."

Ianto was pushed against a cold wall, his head hitting the surface with a loud thump. "He said he was pretty," A man purred as he bent down next to him. He ran a cold hand over Ianto's face, bringing his face into view. Ianto didn't recognise him. "So very pretty."

"Jack always like pretty boys," The second man smiled and moved to the other side of Ianto. "Can we play with him now?" He asked, his hands rubbing along Ianto's clothes.

"Yes, we can play with him now." The man grinned. He took Ianto's hair into his hand, pulling his head close and pressed a strong, firm kiss on his lips. Ianto bit down on his lips, as tears fell down his cheeks.

The man laughed, and ripped his clothes away. The other man started to run his tongue along Ianto's skin, making him shiver to the touch. He started to bite him, leaving red marks all over his skin. When the man had took all of his clothes away, he started to scream. He knew what was going to happen. One of the men stood behind him, pushing him onto all fours, the other in front, both undoing their trousers and pushing them and their underwear down.

He tried to resist. Pushing against the bounds that held his hands tight. "Please..." But that only got him a hard slap across his face. He begged in his head, pleading with his captors to get off him. But they stayed. Thrusting in and out of him with no seconds thoughts. They smiled at each other as they took turns. One pushing into him from behind. The other thrusting into his sobbing mouth. All he could think about was Jack, and how much he needed him there.

Jack followed the directions that Toshiko was telling him through their headsets, Owen was sat next to him. Jack didn't want anyone with him, but Owen had told him he wasn't going to do this alone, and Ianto might need medical assistance when they found him.

Toshiko led them to an abandoned warehouse. Jack and Owen looked at each other before pushing their way through the wooden doors. It was empty. Jack pointed to another door at the far end of the corridor and they headed towards it. When they opened it, nothing in the world could prepare them for what they saw; Ianto was tied to the wall, kneeling. His face covered in blood from various cuts on his head. He was naked. With two men hovering around him.

"Hey, Jack!" One man smiled. "Remember me?"

"Michael?" Jack cursed. Of all the people. It had to be him.

"Jack who is he?" Owen asked, his eyes not moving from Ianto. He could already see large bruises on his stomach, and blood on the back of his legs.

"An ex." Jack said bitterly. "What are you doing here?"

"I saw John," He started. "He told me he bumped into you, told me all about your new life. And about your new love." Jack's eyes drifted back to Ianto. The second man was touching his hair gently, making Ianto whimper beneath him. "I wanted to see if it was true, if someone had domesticated the infamous Jack Harkness. We waited to see if it was true, watched you. I didn't see how he could make you give up life amongst the stars. And now I see why."

"He really is a pretty boy," The second man purred. "So tight. So willing..."

"Stay the fuck away from him!" Jack screamed, he raised his gun to the seconds man head and with no hesitation pulled the trigger.

"You shouldn't have done that," Michael grinned as he stepped nearer to Ianto. Jack moved the gun so it was trained on him now. "You wouldn't shoot me, not after everything we've been through..."

"Oh no? Look at what you've done to him!" Jack screamed.

"I didn't do that to him, Jack. You did." Jack couldn't listen, he pulled the trigger, shooting Michael right between the eyes.

Owen rushed over to Ianto, untying his arms and legs. He cursed at the site. Jack rushed over, standing back a bit. When Ianto noticed Jack he moved away and held closer to Owen. "You're going to be okay, Jack's not going to hurt you..."

"Owen..." Ianto whispered. "Don't want to see Jack." Jack felt his heart break. Owen looked up at Jack not knowing what to do.

"It's okay, wrap this around him. I'll go get the SUV ready..." Jack said, he took off his jacket and handed it to Owen, and walked out of the warehouse.

Owen wrapped the jacket around Ianto who flinched away, it smelt of Jack. Ianto grabbed hold of Owen's arms and wrapped himself in the young medic, who hugged him back tightly. "You're okay, Ianto."

Owen helped Ianto into the back-seat of the SUV, buckling him up and sitting in the passenger seat next to Jack. "How is he?" Jack asked quietly, as he started driving.

"He's in shock." Owen stated, he turned around to see Ianto's head against the window his eyes squeezed shut. "He's going to need stitches, and a lot of antiseptic on his wounds."

"It's all my fault." Jack said. "I did that to him."

"It wasn't your fault, they made you angry at him so they could take him. It's not your fault."

"Michael wanted revenge, it is my fault." Jack said loudly.

"You had no control over his actions, Jack." Owen said confidently. They arrived at the hub a few minutes later, and Owen carried Ianto down to the autopsy bay. Jack told the girls what had happened, and they hugged him tightly as Owen helped Ianto.

"Tell me where it hurts," Owen said gently.

"Everywhere," Ianto mumbled. "Just a shag," he whispered.

"Ianto, listen to me." Owen said loudly, he regretted it when he saw Ianto flinch away from him. "You are not just a shag."

"I am. All I'm good for. They kept on saying it when they..." Ianto broke himself off as he started to cry hysterically into Owen's arms. Jack walked downstairs to the medical bay and watched as Owen cradled Ianto in his arms.

"Ianto, I'm so sorry." Ianto grabbed tighter to Owen, who stroked his back softly. "It was drugs, they made me angry at you. I'm sorry."

"Jack, give him some time. He's in shock, and I've given him some painkillers he's pretty much out of it," Owen said quietly.

"But..."

"Jack..." Ianto's voice was quiet, but Jack heard it loud and clear. Ianto moved away from Owen and stared at Jack through his good eye. "I'm sorry I wasn't good enough."

"But you are." Jack said loudly, Ianto moved closer to Owen. "You're good enough for me, Ianto. You've always been good enough..."

"Just a shag."

"No!" Ianto shouted. "You're not."

"I am. You said it. Just a shag. They said it. Just a shag. Owen said it. Just a shag." Ianto said quickly, his chest heaving.

"Ianto, I need you to calm down okay, breath deeply..." Ianto tried to do what Owen was telling him to do, his fingernails clawing at his own skin. "That's it, in and out..." Owen said softly. Jack watched as Owen calmed him down. Something Jack had often failed to do when the young man was having a nightmare, his only comfort to Ianto was sex. "Do you want to go home?"

"I don't want to be alone," Ianto said quietly.

"Want me to stay with you?" Owen asked. Ianto nodded. "Jack, go get him some of his clothes from his locker."

"I was so scared," Ianto whispered as he clung to Owen.

"So was Jack."

"Just a shag." Ianto mumbled. Owen frowned and held him tighter. Jack brought the clothes down and frowned as Owen was holding Ianto, he knew he was jealous but knew there was no reason to be.

"Come on, lets get you dressed." Owen smiled, he helped Ianto stand and he almost fell back down again. It took them five minutes to get Ianto dressed, Jack ended up helping because Ianto was becoming extremely drowsy because of the medication. Owen took Ianto home, and held him tight as he slept, and calmed him down when the nightmares came.

The next morning, after having no sleep at all, Jack walked down the streets to Ianto's house. He had to see the young man. Owen phoned telling him he was doing better. He knocked on the door, and Owen answered. "How is he?" Jack asked straight away.

"He's not saying much, just staring into space. He wont eat, Jack."

"Can I see him?" Jack asked, Owen nodded.

Ianto was in the living room, sat on the sofa, his feet under his body. He was moving backwards and forwards a little, his eyes staring at the floor. "Ianto," Jack said quietly, Ianto looked up at Jack and then back down. "How are you feeling?" The man in question just shrugged. When Ianto made no sign of being scared of Jack, Owen walked out of the room to shower.

"I'm sorry." Jack said. Ianto looked up at him, this time a little longer.

"Not your fault." Ianto said quietly. His throat was hoarse and tired.

"Yes it is." Ianto didn't say anything just stared at the floor. "Everything I said yesterday, none of it was true."

"Just a shag." Ianto's voice was mechanic.

"No. Ianto you are more than that!" Jack said strongly.

"No. I'm just a shag."

"You're wrong." Jack said, he reached out to take Ianto's hand but he flinched away so fast and was standing away from Jack now. "Ianto please, listen to me..."

"Owen. I want Owen." Ianto cried.

"I love you, Ianto." Jack said quietly. Ianto looked up at him. "You're so much more than just a shag. You're funny, smart, handsome. I love you."

"No. Just a shag. Owen. Where's Owen?"

"He's in the shower, Ianto." Jack said calmly. Ianto looked at Jack again, his right eye now completely bruised, but it only added to the other bruises around his face. "I'm so sorry."

"Not your fault." Ianto repeated.

"He wanted to hurt me, and he did. Seeing you... I thought I lost you." Jack cried.

"I'm sorry." Ianto sunk to the floor on his knees in front of Jack and went to unzip the older man's trousers.

"Ianto what are you doing?" Jack asked, alarmed.

"Just a shag. Makes everything better." Ianto said, his eyes not focused on anything. Jack fell next to him, and pulled him close to him.

"Ianto, you aren't just a shag." Jack said, his own tears falling as he held a reluctant Ianto in his arms. "I love you, with all my heart. You're not just a shag."

"But..."

"No buts Ianto. I love you, you understand?" Jack shouted.

Ianto tensed up in Jack's arms, before nodding, "Yes, sir."

"I'm not going to let any one hurt you ever again, okay." Jack said strongly. Ianto just nodded in his arms. In his mind he was still trying to convince himself that he wasn't just another shag. When he closed his eyes, all he could see was them thrusting in and out of him, using him. And it made everything Jack say harder to believe. He was just another shag.
