Written For Bad2Wolf2Mcgee. A/N at the end.
"Honestly, w…hen there'…s a b..big greenish blo…b, in the middle of.f..f a s…sewer! What n..n…atural reaction is t…here to b..b…bloody poke it..t!" Winter steamed and stuttered, as her Owen and jack walked back towards the Plass.
"I wanted to know what it felt like," Owen smiled sheepishly.
"Calm down, Nemo, it wasn't dangerous." Jack grinned.
"Just smelly." Owen laughed.
"D…disgusting." She muttered under her breath. The three of them were covered in a steaming green gunge and forced to walk home because said gunge had slipped into the inner workings of the SUV and clogged up the essential parts with the smelly sticky goo.
It was the middle of winter, and they were freezing, the unknown substance cooling fast.
"It's b…bloody f..f..f..freezing." Winter hissed as they reached the lift. Jack pressed a button on his manipulator to open the lift with a clunk it juddered for a moment and didn't move.
"You're kidding?" Owen stated, staring at the concrete slab in shock.
"W…ell this is..s.s.. j…ust g..gr…eat!" Winter glared at the pavement and then at Jack. Who simply looked at the stone in shock.
"We'll go around." Jack said, as the sun was beginning to set over Cardiff.
"Erm…Jack?" Owen hesitated, he was staring down at his foot, the green goop was hardening into a grey cement like substance.
"I c..can't m…m…move." Winter said, the gunk hardening and freezing them all in place.
"Ianto." Jack whispered. Digging into his pocket and pulling out his phone as the first snowflakes began to fall, think and fast huge gently falling lumps of ice, sticking instantly.
By the time Ianto arrived the three were locked inside the alien cement, only their faces were clear from where the goop had been washed away and the three of them stood like perfect snowmen of themselves. Gwen followed Ianto out of the car and pulled out her phone, snaping a picture of them before helping Ianto lift the three up and load them into the boot like statues. Inside the hub Ianto had wandered around looking for a hammer and chisel leaving the three Torchwood members immobilized in the main hub as Gwen and Tosh laughed at their misfortune. And Pip being delighted with three new toys to climb and scramble across.
The photo taken is now pinned up on the boardroom notice board. Much to Owen's displeasure.
Written as a little one shot into What's in a Name. if you haven't read it, do. it's awesome. If you have, this is set somewhere between Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Sleeper.
I don't own any of these characters, Jack, Gwen, Ianto, tosh and Owen are RTD's and winter and Pip are Bad2Wolf2Mcgee's. i'm just making them uncomfortable. :) Hope you Enjoyed.
