Author Notes: I've been wanting to do an alternate for a while. I wasn't sure for a while on how I was going to do this so here I go attempting it. Review to tell me to continue or not because I suck at deciding whether or not to continue these. I am going to try to make this my longest story so far.
Disclaimer: I don't own them, sorry.

Chapter One – Rift Spikes

"Jack?" Toshiko knocked at the office door, peering into the room.

"Yeah?" He smiled up at her.

"We keep getting rift spikes around this building. I thought you should know, maybe we should look into it."

Toshiko handed Jack a piece of paper. He looked over it, his brows furrowed before looking back and Toshiko appreciatively.

"Thanks Tosh. We'll go and check it out today. It could be something interesting."

Tosh smiled before leaving Jack to himself. He sighed before turning to his computer. This could be bad. Rift activity always spikes in one area before something big happens. Jack looked over at his team working in the main hub. Owen in the Autopsy bay, Tosh back at her desk, probably scanning something important, his newest team member, Gwen, writing her reports. He was still trying to get used to the fact that Suzie was gone. She was irreplaceable. He shouldn't have put her on the glove project, as far as he was concerned, it was his fault that she went so far as to killing herself. He wanted to leave investigating the spikes, he was sick of the rift messing with this planet. Why did it always affect Cardiff? As if on cue the alarm went off, the spikes growing strong enough to be a threat. Jack swore under his breath, he had to jinx it didn't he? Jumping up from his chair, he grabbed his coat and headed towards the cog door.

"Tosh stay here and feed me information, Owen, Gwen, you're with me." He called and Owen and Gwen ran after him.

"Tell me what's happening Tosh." Jack ordered over the comms as they walked towards the building.

"There is some very strong rift activity at the roof of the building. I got the police to get as many people out of there as they could but there still could be some strays."

"Thanks Tosh." Jack sighed, walking up to the doors before opening it to the others.

"So what do you think it is?" Gwen asked hesitantly.

"Don't know, we'll find out soon enough."

"Tosh, we've been through most of the levels and sent everyone out. We're going up to the roof now. Do you have any information on what it is?"

"I can't get any CCTV up there, the cameras must have been affected by the spikes. Sorry but it looks like you're going to have to go up there blind."

Jack groaned in annoyance, "That's okay. Keep finding the information."

Jack turned to the others, seeing the glint of worry in Gwen's eyes.

"Relax Gwen, We'll be okay. You two cover me and I'll go out there first. I'll be able to handle this."

They nodded, lifting their guns into a ready position before Jack jumped through the door, looking out at the seemingly empty roof. He looked around for a moment before finally seeing someone standing by the side of the roof, as though they were going to jump. He felt a prick of worry for a moment before turning to the others, signaling them to stay where they were. Jack walked over to the person by the edge, standing next to him.

"You okay?" Jack mumbled.

"Not really." The Welsh accent in the other man's voice was obvious.

"I'm Captain Jack Harkness."

"Jones, Ianto Jones." The younger man whispered just loud enough for Jack to hear.

"Why are you still here? The police cleared the building, you shouldn't be up here."

"Jack, you've got it." Toshiko's voice said proudly through the ear piece.

"Not now Tosh."

"No, Jack, whatever came through the rift, you're standing right next to it."

Jack turned to look at the other man, shock playing on his features.

"What's the last thing you remember?" Jack asked him carefully.

"Light, blinding light." He turned to look at Jack, tears threatening to escape his eyes. "I have nothing left, there's no one."

"I need you to come with me." Jack tried to sound caring, tried to make the younger man listen.

"No. I don't know any of you, you could be taking me anywhere."

"I promise, I'm only trying to help you but to do that, I need you to come with me."

"No!"

Jack pulled a gun from his coat and the Welshman stared up at him in a mix of shock and terror.

"I'm sorry." Jack mumbled before pulling the trigger.

The electricity burned through Ianto's body before he finally fell, Jack catching him before he hit the ground.

Apologies for the rather short first chapter but I have writers block plus I thought this was a good point to stop at. Review to tell me if I should continue this or not.
