The TARDIS hummed happily as Jack walked in. He maneuvered Owen so that one hand could stroke the underside of the consle. A small blimp that would be the TARDIS equivocal of a yelp came out. "Stop it, Jack. She doesn't need to get flustered now," the Doctor told off, leading the way to the medical room. Jack just smirked and followed.
"So, what brought you to lovely, problematic Cardiff?" Jack asked, using both hands for Owen.
"Refuel, and the always problem with people coming back from the dead," he avoided as much as possible.
"Doctor."
"Jack." They entered the room that held three medical beds. Jack managed to unclench the hands off his breech, but they curled around his hand. He didn't dislodge them and absentminded rubbed the backs.
"When you talk about people coming back from the dead..."
"Very, very small coming back from the dead, just an old friend." He set up a scanner Jack wasn't that familiar with.
"When you say old friend..."
"Leave it, Jack. Not your business." The Doctor took a wand-like item with a cord and ran it over the parts of Owen he could go over. The machine displayed some results on the screen. Jack understood the words, but not what they were saying.
"Did you find any alien tech at the scene?"
"If there was anything, either Ianto has it or it was kicked to a place we couldn't see."
"Well, I'll take a look at some point. Not very good to leave Trion technology lying around."
"Trion?"
"Ah, yes, they took on another name by the fifty-first century. To keep out of the sight of the Time Agency."
"Let's stay out of that; technology that regresses people to childhood?"
"To regress those they think they can help. Regress them to before bad events. They've been trying it out on several prisoners that had been victims turned victimizers. Raising them either without the event or helping them through seemed to be helping them."
"How have you been keeping track of this, Doctor?"
"I've been visiting an old friend. Trying to get some help."
"The old friend?"
The Doctor sighed. "It's before your time with me, Jack. Nothing you can do about it."
"Now, Doctor, nothing is before my time."
Laughing, he started walking out. "Where were you tracking the machine, too?"
"There was an abandoned building over in Riverside."
"Weird, it landed about three miles west of there."
"Meaning someone brought it there. Or something."
"Or it could have been an animal. Don't know everything yet." The Doctor left the room to go back to the console. Jack contemplated picking up Owen to follow him when he noticed the hands weren't holding on as tight. He slid out of them and pulled the blanket over him. He placed a light kiss to his forehead before going out.
The Doctor caught him on the way out. "How long?"
"An hour, maybe two. I need to get him some clothes and something to eat."
"What happens if he wakes up?"
"Try not to lose him in the TARDIS."
"OI!" Jack just laughed and walked out of the TARDIS.

Owen woke up very confused. He didn't know where he was and didn't recognize the place he was in. He dropped down from the bed he was on and started walking around in the corridor. Where is he? He couldn't reach most of the doorknobs in the hallway. He was almost to the console room when a door opened right behind him.
To him, he was tall. He was looking down on him with a little distain and fixing a tie that was hanging around his neck. "Now who are you?"
Owen started screaming.
