Possessions

Can't take baggage when you wander though time. A wristband, maybe. Possessions were ephemeral, couldn't be kept. What, really, did he own?

Not much. A coat, which gave him identity. A severed hand cut from the arm of someone he'd never met, though he'd known him intimately. Second-hand knowledge crammed into his mind. So little to keep, after a lifetime like his. Even his memories had been plundered.

Owen shouted something to Tosh, who replied. Ianto asked a question which made Gwen laugh. Jack's throat tightened. They were his, now, all of them. His people.

Having companions, he had everything.
