048: Strange Place

[livingmyths]

If anyone's looking for me I went to stay at Ianto's house in the middle of the day yesterday. I thought Abby would be here, but I guess she got stuck somewhere else.

It's a nice house, but it's big and I don't know it or the people, except Ianto, so it's kind of scary. I was too scared to sleep so I just found a corner where I could sort of hide and still see outside and I'm just staying there.

It's safe, though. Ianto says so and I believe him. I just... wish I could be someplace I know. And I miss the clock. I miss the ticking. I know most people don't like it, but I don't like it being gone.

Is everybody else safe? I'm worried about all my friends and special people.

"That's okay," Rain said. "I know you will and I know if I really need you you'll come. When you're out... will you look for Mat? I haven't heard from him since last night."

Tony pressed his forehead to hers for reassurance as they neared his building.

"I promise I'll look for him," he told her. "And if I find him I'll try and bring him to you."

Rain managed a smile for him. "Thank you. And you, you promise me you'll be safe?"

Tony smiled back. He knew she couldn't see his face, but he was pretty sure she knew he was smiling.

"I will, I'll be safe," he promised.

"Okay." She hugged him tightly again. "Come back soon."

"I'll check in with you as soon as I can," he said, landing safely in the small forest atop City Solutions. Reaching down he took her hand and squeezed it softly.

She squeezed back, then leaned up and kissed him lightly on his 'cheek'. "Be safe," she whispered. "I'll be worrying."

Tony wished that he could have felt the affectionate kiss on his cheek, but that was the price you paid for living in a metal suit.

"We can talk back and forth on the network as much as you want," he told her. "I'm never out of touch for long."

Of course, Rain probably would have been too shy to kiss Tony on the cheek.

She nodded. "All right," she said. "I'll look for you."
