Ianto followed Jack to the Thames House. It was now just a few steps from where a circle of light and wrapped it takes your breath away. He wanted to alert the captain but did not have time to open his mouth that he found himself teleported elsewhere.
- Hey, careful with that weapon! - Cried a voice behind him.
He turned abruptly, ready to defend himself, when he saw the man before him.
- Doctor, we need to help Jack and the others! - Said with urgency.
The ladies of the time he stood where he was, a deep sadness in his eyes.
- I'm sorry - all he said.
- Jack says she has saved the world countless times, do something!
- I can not, everything is already decided - he admitted.
Ianto did not understand.
- bring me immediately where I was!
The Doctor pressed a lever and the TARDIS left leaning for a moment, doing nearly losing his balance to its occupants.
- What's happening? Why am I here?
- I promised Jack I'd saved, - said the doctor, continuing to tinker with the controls.
Ianto shook his head incredulously.
- Jack was with me. We were going to deal with the 456, - said puzzled.
- Not that Jack. That is, of course, Jack is the same, but in your timeline will be in six months - the doctor tried to explain, with a glimpse of that vitality that normally set him apart.
- But we can not leave him alone! May be ... - Ianto could not think of a captain without feeling the need to stay close, hold him in my arms every time she came back to life.
The Doctor stopped the strange commands to maneuver the TARDIS and looked him straight in the eye.
- Now it happened, Jack has saved the Earth and has paid a heavy price for that. Prevent die too was the only thing I could do to relieve your pain.
A flash of understanding through the eyes of the young.
- Who? - Asked as a node shook his throat as if to throttle him.
- Steven - revealed the man's voice sorrowful time.
- me back. And 'he who must save, not me! - Declared passionately.
- I can not, - he seemed not to repeat much lately.
- But do not you understand? That child is the grandson of Jack and I am nothing!
The shadow of a bitter smile appeared on the face of the Doctor. Had saved his life but he broke my heart.
- Even if it were true, and believe me there is nothing more wrong with what you just said, there are events that can not be changed. Jack has accepted it and asked me to do this for him.
The Doctor leaned heavily on the console. The weather was getting out of the hands and had other things to do, before surrendering to the inevitable.
- We came, - said start-up at the doors of the TARDIS is wide open.
Ianto followed him, looking around, uncertain until they knew the street where his sister lived.
- Why here? - Churches.
- We went on two days. Gwen and Rhys are with your family will be happy to see you.
- And Jack? - Asked in a whisper.
- Somewhere up there, - the Doctor said, pointing to the sky with one hand.
Ianto closed his eyes, making his best to mask the pain.
- not coming back, right? - Defeated the tone of one who knew the answer.
The Doctor looked him straight in the eye for a long time, tried to give him a hope to cling to. But it was not what Jack had asked him and he could only hope that if one day they met again, it would be too late.
With a quick nod and turned back into a time machine, my mind already addressed in the next step and the next goodbye.
