[Ianto appears on the Plane with some CCTV monitoring equipment showing what looks like it should be Roald Dahl Plass... only where the Millennium Centre usually stands there seems to a large skyscraper instead.]

Anyone want to tell me why the Empire State Building seems to have replaced the Millennium Centre?

[And Jack's patience is only so long]Listen, I don't care if you hate me with all your being right now Ianto; you were the one that decided that locking my office would be a good way to get back at me, and now I'm telling you as your boss to unlock it.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

You're not my boss. We're from different realities. [Pointedly not looking at him.]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

If I'm not your boss or your Jack, then why the hell did you think it was justified to ask me what you did?!

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I only asked you what you thought concerned me.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

What gave you the right to ask about my reasons for wanting to go back to the Doctor?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Owen's most likely dead because you left us. We thought Gwen was dead too until recently. What makes you think I don't have the right to know?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Because those were my reasons to tell if I thought I should, not for you to take advantage of some stupid alien gas so you could ask and ask until I stopped talking to you!

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

If you were that unhappy about answering you could've left.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

You shouldn't have been asking to begin with!

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Maybe if you actually gave me some reason to trust you I wouldn't feel the need to.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Name one thing that I've done to you that would make you doubt me, and don't say not telling you everything about myself, because it's not the same thing.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Do you really need me to answer that?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Yes, I do. Because when you tell me, I'll give you all the reasons I have not to trust you, and we'll see how our lists compare.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I don't have time for this, Jack.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

You can talk and stare at a monitor, can't you? Or is it that you'd rather I go first, and we can work our way from there?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[Ignoring you, Jack.]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Sorry Ianto, ignoring him isn't going to make him go away] Me first, then. You lied about why you wanted the job, used me to try and save your girlfriend, snuck a Cyberman into my basement, almost got us all killed because of her, caused the death of two civilians, used the Rift Manipulator despite my explicit instructions not to, drugged my coffee so that I would be knocked out, and took advantage of the fact I'd inhaled some of the gas to ask me about things I clearly didn't want to talk about despite the fact I repededly told you to stop.

Your turn.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I'm not 'comparing lists', or whatever it is you want me to do.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Then explain to me again why you refuse to unlock my office.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

If you actually listened I wouldn't have to.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Since when do you resort to petty acts of revenge just because you're angry?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

It's not a petty act of revenge. Neither of us want to see each other, and you aren't the only one who needs the office.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

It's my office, I live there!

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

You could find somewhere else to live if you wanted. I can't.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

So what, now you get to kick me out of my own office because you don't want to see me?
