Summary: Challenge - Seven Deadly Sins (Wrath).

***

In her dreams, Mary returns.

Sometimes she holds Tosh at knifepoint again, with Jack in the background yelling threats in a thousand alien languages. Sometimes someone else is threatened. Often it's Ianto, and even without the pendant, Tosh can hear his mental mantra-- please, not again, not again, not again.

Every night, the details vary, but every night, the end is the same.

There's always the moment of betrayal; again and again she feels a fool. Again and again, she screams I could have loved you inside her mind.

And again and again Mary laughs and takes her heart instead.
