Summary: The newest member of Torchwood is a bit star-struck
“Would you like another cup of coffee, Mr. Jones?” Reggie asked quietly as he stood almost at attention next to Ianto’s desk.
After the near miss of the 456, Jack finally stopped dragging his feet on hiring. Martha Jones had come aboard as their new doctor after quitting UNIT over their handling of the situation, and they hired Reginald Powell to handle Ianto’s previous duties as general support/archivist so he could focus on fieldwork.
Their newest recruit took the obsequious butler routine to levels Ianto would never have even considered.
“Please call me Ianto. I’ve warned you we’re quite informal here at Torchwood.”
“Sorry, sir, it’s just a bit intimidating being in the presence of heroes such as yourselves.”
“Believe me, I’m no hero,” Ianto insisted. “I just did what had to be done. Jack is quite the dashing hero, though,” he admitted.
Jack came walking out from his new office at the mention of his name. “It’s easy to be a hero when you can’t stay dead,” he demurred. “Ianto sells himself short.”
“I’m going to break up this mutual admiration society,” Gwen told them. “We’re just a regular bunch of people who wanted to be more than we were. To make a difference. Anyone can do that.”
“She’s right,” Ianto told Reg.
“As long as Ianto and I can continue mutually admiring each other," Jack quipped with a wink.
“It wouldn’t be Torchwood if you didn’t,” Gwen shot back.

Thanks!
