A/N Thank you to my wonderful beta, and I apologise for not replying to review, but at the moment I can barely manage to write. I am doing my best hugs to all.

Jack lay in his hotel room, wide awake. He still found it hard to believe that his Ianto had been a clone. Now there had a new one to deal with and realised that his Ianto would have wanted him to help. Not that he had any choice in the matter, which frustrated him no end, it also made him smile. It was time to get some sleep, but Jack found it very difficult to deal with this when he was sleep deprived, his mind played tricks on him. It made him think that when he watched the man he loved die in his arms it never actually happened. When he finally realised that it did, his heart once again shattered and left a gaping hole.

Martin had been too worried about his assistant that he forgot that it would leave him alone. It looked like he would have to try and find someone else to work for him. It was not going to be any easy thing to do.

"Good morning." Jack nodded as he walked in.

"Morning Captain Harkness, are you almost ready to leave us?"

"My car's outside; I've booked out of the hotel. I'm just waiting for Ianto."

"I'm here." The smooth Welsh voice called out.

Jack turned, and his mouth dropped at how the other man was dressed.

"What are you wearing Ianto?" Martin asked.

"Well, Captain Harkness mentioned his Ianto wore suits and also jeans. I thought this would be something different. It does look okay doesn't it?" He glanced down at his black cargos, blue t-shirt and black leather jacket.

"You look...fine," Jack muttered and turned away as he didn't want to say how attractive he looked.

"I do love all of these pockets." He grinned as he looked down at his trousers.

"Are you ready Ianto?" Martin asked he hoped that the clone would change his mind.

"I'm ready, my things, the small amount I have is in the car are we ready Captain–."

"Jack, its Jack."

"Yes, of course." The smile fell from his face. It seemed that whatever he did was wrong; it wasn't intentional. There would always be things that he did the same as the other clone. No, matter what he was still going and would be a productive member of Torchwood Three.

They walked into the office look building. The windows were tinted, it still looked so ordinary. The door opened, and there was a scream as a dark-haired woman ran towards them.

"Jack." She yelled, hit him in the shoulder and then pulled him into a hug.

"Gwen." Jack pushed her away when the hug went on a little too long and was now uncomfortable. He grabbed hold of the younger man's arm and pulled him nearer. "This is Ianto."

"You look like him, apart from the clothes."

"I am a clone, so of course I look like the original. I was told how your Ianto dressed so thought it would be best to wear something different."

"Oh, of course." Her gaze went back to Jack.

Ianto watched her and could see that she obviously had romantic feeling for the immortal. He didn't like that, and didn't she have a husband and child? This piece of information made him very uncomfortable.

Jack moved away from her and turned to look at their newest member. "Let's go and look at our new headquarters."

Gwen's face fell at his reaction or lack of one. She had hoped that he'd missed her. The guilt ate at her as she thought of Rhys and their child, but she couldn't help how she felt. There was something special about Jack Harkness; there truly wasn't another man like him anywhere. "Jack, maybe we could…" Just then her phone rang; she sighed as she pulled it out and saw the name. It was her husband, what timing. She wanted to have some time alone with Jack and deep down was afraid that he would fall for this clone, just like he had the other. "Hi, Rhys, I'm here with Jack and Ianto." It sounded weird to say that after she had seen his dead body. "I'll be back later. So?" She turned back with a huge smile.

"Let's head in Ianto."

"Of course Jack. It was nice to have met you, Gwen. I look forward to working with you." With that, the two of them headed into the building leaving her alone.

XXXXX

When the two are alone, Ianto turned to him. "She's in love with you isn't she?"

"She's in love with the idea of who she thinks I am, the image I portray." Jack sighed.

"Gwen hasn't tried to get to know you? You don't ever talk?"

Jack laughed. "She's too interested in how she feels and what she wants. I think when I first met her; Gwen was so full of life. I let her take charge up to a point. I listened to what she suggested, and now she's taken it as that's how it should always go."

"Weren't you and Ianto together?"

"No, not at this point. It started after the Lisa thing, and at first, we were friends with benefits. He fell in love with me, before I fell for him. I did though. He was the one I could talk to, could laugh and joke with. He could read me better than anyone."

Ianto smiled sadly; at this moment in time he would do anything to trade places so that Jack could have that again. "I don't think she's thrilled that I'm here, maybe she hoped that this would be her chance with you."

"No matter what she wants, it isn't going to happen. Whatever attraction I had for her at the start it's long gone. It would never have been anything serious anyway, just a blip in time. Let's take a look around and see where everything is."

The clone nodded, and he knew not to push anymore. He wanted to become the man's friend, and if he carried on that would never happen.

XXXXX

Months had passed, and Gwen wasn't any closer to Jack, in fact, it seemed that they were further apart than ever. She'd always hoped that when he came back to Earth things would be different, she had no idea in what way, but it wasn't this. Her eyes narrowed in anger when she heard two distinct male laughs. It would have been better with just the two of them. Why did there have to be cloned.

"Well, it took ages to find you?" Gwen turned and glared at the new arrival. "Hart, what do you want?"

"I heard about what had happened I just wanted to make sure that Jack's okay." John tried to look innocent but failed miserably.

"Oh, we have a guest, hello."

John's mouth fell open at the very familiar sexy Welsh accent. He moved slowly so he could look at where the voice of the ghost was coming from. "You're dead."

"Oh did you know me, the other me I mean?"

"What are you doing here? It better not be to cause more trouble." Jack's eyes narrowed in suspicion.

"I heard that he'd died." John waved his hand at Ianto. "I wanted to make sure you were okay."

"Right, of course, you did. You wanted to find me at a weak moment and worm your way back into my bed and hopefully feelings. Not going to work and that Ianto 'is' gone."

Jack's eyes narrowed as this 'new' Ianto placed a hand on the arm of the man he wanted. "Who the hell is this then?"

"I'm a clone; well the other Ianto was a clone as well."

"Can I get an eye candy clone?" His very own sex toy, maybe he could get one that looked like Jack. John gave a filthy smirk as he eyed the two men as a threesome ran through his mind.

"Eye Candy?"

Jack turned to him and shook his head. "It's what he called Ianto. John and I, unfortunately, have a history. He also seems to think we have a closer relationship than we do. He's purely here to prey, on what he believed would be my devastated state. When I left Earth, he was unable to find me. I guess it's taken this long actually to locate me. Otherwise, he would have been here right after the death."

"I wouldn't be that disrespectful." John suddenly grinned when all disbelieving eyes turned to him. "Okay, I would."

"Go away John, let's go Ianto." The immortal placed his hand on the centre of Ianto's back and led him back into the building.

Gwen glared at them.

"Ianto died and you still never managed to get him into the sack. You missed out, the things that he can do, the orgasms are earth shattering. Why do you think I want him back? It seems that I have another sexy Welshman in the way." John wandered off as he muttered to himself. "Maybe I can use this clone? A clone of all things."

She was once again left alone and hated the fact that John confirmed how amazing Jack was in bed. Gwen would find out, just one time, that was all she wanted, then she could forget about him and move on. Carry on her life with Rhys and their child. A moment of guilt choked her as she thought about them, but she pushed it back down. He would never find out. It would be okay.

XXXXX

Jack had grown to like this Ianto. There were a few similarities between the two clones, but mostly they were completely different. He more than liked this one; he was attracted to him. What the hell was he going to do? Gwen had tried to push them into a more intimate relationship, which was not going to happen and now Hart had appeared, which was all he needed. What the hell was he going to do?

XXXXX

John was frustrated; no matter what he did Jack wanted nothing to do with him. At least he wasn't alone as since Gwen wasn't having any luck either. This was not the same man he'd fallen for; the death of the other clone must have hit him harder than anyone knew. He spent so much time with this new Ianto, and they never seemed to be apart. Was it time for him to give up and find some fun? It was time to find a bar, a drink and some sex, not necessarily in that order.

XXXXX

Ianto rushed out of the building. "I am such an idiot." He moaned. "Why did I kiss him?"

John ran around the corner, his face pale. Some voices grew louder that came from the area he had just come from. "Eye Candy, let's go in the building."

"What have you done?"

"Me, nothing."

"You." A man called out as he raised his gun.

XXXXX

"Jack, what's wrong?" Gwen asked as she walked over to him. She could see that something was going on.

"Ianto kissed me."

"Oh, if he is making you uncomfortable we can send him back to Torchwood Two." She hoped he said yes and that meant he would be out of the way. Gwen thought then she might have a better chance of getting Jack. She reached over and rubbed his shoulder and moved closer to him. "I'll do anything you need, whatever help you want just ask."

Jack looked at her; he knew what she wanted. She had pushed, and he ignored it. Obviously, that was the wrong thing to do. "Look Gwen–."

Just then a gunshot echoed through the building.

"Ianto." A voice yelled.

Jack's heart stopped at the fear he heard, especially from the man who called out. It was John Hart. He pulled away from Gwen and ran to the front door and headed outside.

Gwen dropped her head in frustration and ran after him. She may want Jack to herself, but she didn't want this Ianto to die and knew that Jack would never get over it.

XXXXX

John stood in front of Ianto, who had collapsed on the ground. He aimed his gun at the attackers. He never meant for this to happen; it was just meant as a little bit of fun.

As soon as Jack came out, he pulled out his weapon. Gwen pulled out her phone.

"I'll call the police." She called out

"Ianto?"

"I'm okay; it's not a big deal. I don't think so anyway."

"Leave now," Jack growled.

"Not until he pays." The bald man pointed to John. "He slept with my sister's boyfriend."

Jack groaned, turned and glared at Hart. "Really…"

"He didn't tell me he was with someone, actually pointed out that he was single and completely gay, as in not attracted to females." John glared at the men.

"I don't care; I just want to get Ianto to the hospital."

"Oh my god, what have you done?" Another man ran towards them.

"You broke my sister's heart. The two of you were happy together, why did you have to do that?"

"I'm not dating her. I'm gay. I've told her this numerous times." He grabbed his cell, pulled up some text messages and handed it over.

"What?"

"You've spoiled her so much that she doesn't understand the word no and believes that she can have anything or anyone she wants."

"Shut up both of you," Jack shouted. "Get the hell out of here, so I can take Ianto to the hospital. I will be calling the police."

"Don't Jack," Ianto whispered. "Just let it go."

"Ianto…"

"Please."

"Fine, let's just get you sorted out. John, be gone when we get back." With that, he helped Ianto to his feet, and they headed towards Torchwood's SUV.

XXXXX

Jack watched over a sleeping Ianto. He wanted to lie next to him, wrap him in his arms and keep him safe. Gwen stood next to him; she placed her hand on his back. Slowly she rubbed it up and down in smooth, fluid motions. The immortal moved away from her touch.

"Gwen, stop." Jack paused and then turned to look at her. "Nothing is going to happen between us. We're friends, and that is it if you keep pushing we won't even be that."

"You want him, don't you?" Gwen muttered accusingly.

"I didn't think I would be able to feel anything romantic towards him, because of our Ianto. Yes, certain elements are the same, but there are so many differences. I care for him because of who HE is."

"So what are you going to do?"

"To see where it goes, I thought that he had died. I don't want to have any regrets. I am ready for anything he is."

"I'm glad to hear that." A voice came from the couch; Ianto turned his head and opened his eyes.

Jack moved over to him and knelt down. "I was so worried about you." He gently kissed those lips that had tempted him so much.

Gwen's eyes fell to the ground; she felt as if she had intruded in a very private moment, maybe she could go home for a bit. She left the two men alone.

"Thank you, Jack, for making me feels at home and for letting me finds out who I am."

"I look forward to the future with you and to bringing back Torchwood Three to its full glory."

The End
