Chapter 9: Meeting the team part 1
"I can not believe you thought I was a weevil."
Owen had tears running down his cheeks from laughing so much. He clutches his sides, panted heavily and in an attempt to regain his posture he jokingly said: "Oh c'mon ianto it was an honest mistake to make. It was dark, I felt like a bloody punching bag with all them weevils 'aving a go at me. I was trying to defend myself and you got in the way. Besides come oooooonnnnn", Owen started jumping up and down, "the ladies love a guy who looks dangerous. Ya might stand a chance of getting shagged".
Owen turned away from a shocked ianto and walked towards his computer whilst muttering: "God knows you need a good shag".
Tosh heard it and punched him hard on the arm complemented with a very dirty look.
The argument was cut short as the hub was suddenly filled with laughter and giggles. The team members stopped their activities and turned their attention to their leader and his enchanting guest. At the sight of all this attention, the girl stopped laughing and gave Jack a nudge.
Jack cleared his throat and talked with an amused step in his voice: "Right, ladies and gentleman and Owen …I present to you, Eleanor. She is here to help us out for a while, as a favor to me". The girl smiled and greeted everyone.
"Right, where did you pick this one up then?" Owen smirked and figured jack had met another pretty thing and offered to help her out of her misery filled life. Last thing we need is a stray dog to take care of. Mind you, she must be a dog with a pedigree with her looks.
Jack ignored that comment and went on to say : "Owen, the doctor, Tosh the technician, Ianto is our assistant and the girl is lovely Gwen'.
Gwen looked at her carefully and said: "Aren't you a bit young to be involved in this line of business? I would have thought that a pretty young girl like you would rather be out shopping and having fun".
Eleanor's mouth curled up to a smile and whispered: "I'm not like other girls miss. In fact I'm not even human'.
The rest of the team looked stunned.
"You are an alien?" asked Ianto.
She looked at the stunning man and her eyes twinkled. "Yes I am, I'm Venuvian".
"Venuvian, as in from Venus?" Ianto asked.
"Don't be daft, there are no humanoids on Venus. She's from Venuvia, that's in an entirely different constellation". Jack replied.
Ianto rolls his eyes and muttered: "of course she is, what WAS I thinking!"
