--------------------------------------------
He had been swimming. Enjoying the exercise he was getting in the heated pool on his day off. One of the rare few. The rift had been quiet all week, Jack was driving him crazy in his bordem.
But in the pool he could relax and let his troubles and his own bordem melt away.
That was, until someone reached in, grabbed him by the arm, and pulled him up out of the water as soon as he'd gotten close enough to the edge.
"What the-"
"Sir, you must vacate this area immediately."
"But-"
"Sir, do not argue with me," the blonde woman snapped, shoving him towards where two more people were ushering the others driven from the pool.
A head popped into view, a young Japanese girl's. "We cannot waste much more time," she said.
"Hawkins! Bert! Hurry it up, we've got to drop the payload!" she snapped instantly, pulling a device that didn't even remotely look human made to Ianto's eyes out of her coat. "Sir, if you will not vacate this area immediately, I will have no other option than to use force."
"Get everyone clear!" the Japanese girl shouted, comming into full view with a large box in her arms. She was so tiny, and the box so large. It seemed almost as if it were alive.
The blonde woman shoved Ianto out of the Japanese girl's way as she ran towards the pool, trying to keep her grip on the box. She slipped, nearly falling into the water with it. Ianto jumped into action, forcing his way past the woman armed with alien technology and grabbing the Japanese girl by her arm.
She yelped, but it was nothing compared to the sounds the box was making in the water. In nothing but a pair of swim trunks, the Welshman pulled her back from the edge, not letting her go. What he wouldn't do to have his bluetooth on right now.
There was a splash, followed by waves from the pool lapping at the concrete edges. The ground shook as the water in the pool went wild.
"Let me go!" the Japanese girl shouted, stomping on Ianto's foot with her boot. "Something's wrong, ma'am."
"It's having an adverse reaction to the chlorine!" one of the men, a handsome fellow with a scottish accent shouted.
The blonde shook her head. "No, give it a moment more."
The shaking stopped, followed by the waves. The water began to settle down. Once Ianto was able to stand on his foot again, he cautioned a look back into the pool.
There, swimming just below the surface was an odd looking creature right out of a story book of sorts.
And suddenly, he had the urge to watch The Little Mermaid again.
"Who the hell are you people?" Ianto managed to choke out.
The blonde, apparently their leader smirked, and he could feel her eyes on his back.
"Torchwood," she said. "Miho, if you would."
Ianto felt a prick in his neck. Reaching up his fingers found a dart with a small feather at the end. Turning around, he saw her lower her blow gun before the world went dark and his legs gave out from under him.
