Title: Meeting Ten
Author: m_findlow
Characters: Jack, Ianto
Rating: PG
Challenge: 390 - Ten
Notes: Ianto finally meets Jack's Doctor, sort of. It's all a bit awkward.

'So that was your Doctor,' Ianto asked tentatively when Jack returned from London.

'Ten? Yeah.'

'Ten?'

'Oh, I meant as in tenth regeneration. Helps to keep track of which one you're dealing with. All of them have visited Earth at some point.'

'So you met "Ten" back in the forties?'

'Actually I met "Nine", but he regenerated the day I died and became immortal. I met "Ten" during the year that never was.'

'Sounds complicated.'

'You get used to it.'

'He looks younger than I expected,' echoing Gwen's earlier comment.

'Jealous?'

'Maybe.'

'Don't be. I'll always come back for you.'
