Welcome to the Hub

Who: Gabriel and Mohinder with appearances by Jack Harkness and JC.
When: July 20, after this thread of doom.
What: Mohinder and Gabriel accept Jack's invitation and join Torchwood.


Mohinder might as well have had his hands and nose pressed to the ass as the SUV descended on the platform from the plaza above. The Hub was darker and less clinical than he had imagined from the way Jack had spoken briefly about Torchwood Institute. The walls were either brick of off white ceramic subway tiles, shaped like a massive tube around a central core. Walkways and stairs connected levels above and below them and rooms seemed to jut off from the main area like the spokes of a wheel.

No wonder Jack called it a Hub.

Wide eyed and half confused, when the car stopped moving, Mohinder jumped out of it to examine the winch system and try to find the opening they had slowly dropped through, though that had disappeared. He gripped the yellow industrial lift control box, which looked like something out of a warehouse or a mine, and frowned at the buttons.

"I was expecting something more... Futuristic, I suppose," Mohinder muttered to himself and set out around the catwalk, trying to look both up and down at the same time.

Oh good, Mohinder liked cuddling. This shouldn't have been a surprising revelation to Gabriel, seeing as how comfortable Mohinder was with casual touches earlier. But he had honestly never thought about it before. Neither had he thought about the fact that Gabriel himself wanted it badly, to touch and to be touched after something so intense. He never would've thought he would, either, but it was confirmation that he was still wanted.

He followed Mohinder's lead on lightly kissing everywhere he could reach and murmured a wordless agreement to the statement about it being a celebration. Now that he was fully relaxed, words were not coming to him easily. It felt like every minute there was something new and wonderful to enjoy.

Laughter and smiles would come very easily that night, and once his vocabulary returned to him, Gabriel would tell Mohinder that this was the best day of his life. It was the only way to describe what he felt. Pizza and a night in bed would only continue the trend. For once, Gabriel was not at all concerned about his future.
