Another huge thank you to my reviewers (Lilith Skywalker, Ravenja70, Marian Locksley, gernumblies, milady dragon, Jooles34, specialfrancine, L.A.H.H. and Azzi Turner.) and especially big thankyous to anyone who's ever added me to their favourites list! You make me feel loved! And apologies to anyone I sent a weird review reply too – I was trying to avoid writing an essay. (Don't ask why I chose to distract myself in that way because I have no idea.) Please don't let it put you off reviewing again!

And sorry this took so long too - the system was playing up.

Retribution

"I'm bored." Owen announced.

"And?" Tosh asked, leaning back in her chair.

"I'm bored." Owen repeated. "Nothing interesting is happening. The Rift is asleep, the weevils have gone on holiday, my paperwork has been completed and Jack and Ianto are busy." Owen's hands sketched quotation marks in the air around the word 'busy'.

"So?" Tosh and Gwen asked simultaneously.

"Let's do something."

"What?" Gwen asked. She would have suggested something long ago, but had been unable to think of anything.

Owen paused. "Watch a DVD."

"We haven't got any." Tosh replied, turning back to her computer.

"Yes we have. There's all those ones of Suzie's Jack kept for some random reason."

"What did she have?" Gwen asked, sounding interested. Anything was better than staring idly at a blank screen.

"Probably the Saw movies." said Tosh bitterly. "I never thought of her as the type to curl up in front of a TV screen anyway."

But Owen had gone off to try and find this mysterious cache of DVDs. The speed with which he returned clutching a bag prompted Tosh and Gwen to suspect that the 'Suzie' bit was merely an excuse – something Tosh confirmed when she spotted a DVD that had only been released in the past few months in the pile, well after Suzie had died. But she didn't mention it, wanting a break almost as much as the other two.

"I've never heard of some of these." said Gwen, examining them carefully. "Which one are we watching?"

Owen shrugged. "Your choice."

"That one looks interesting." said Tosh, bending over and picking it up. "'A Beautiful Mind'. What's it about?"

"Um…" Owen screwed up his forehead, trying to remember. "A famous mathematician who had schizophrenia."

Tosh looked intrigued by this, and Gwen nodded her consent to the choice. Owen was quite surprised – he'd been expecting that there would be some form of argument about what they watched. He was almost tempted to start one, but decided not to.

"I'll go get some drinks and snacks." Tosh announced. "Why don't you two go and get it set up in the conference room?"

Gwen and Owen headed upstairs, Gwen carrying the DVD. But when they got there Owen took it off her.

"Let's let me do it, shall we? Don't want you breaking the computer. You'd probably put it in upside down."

Gwen made a rude gesture at Owen and found herself a seat. She made herself comfortable as he loaded the disk and it started to play.

"I think that's the commentary."

"Yeah, I know that, Gwen. Just be patient. I'll find the film in a sec."

Gwen was patient, for a while. "We've listened to this bit twice."

"Thank you, Cooper. Just shut up, will you? Unless you think you can do better."

Gwen shifted in her chair for a bit as the same two bits of commentary kept playing over and over again as Owen tried to start the film.

"Owen?"

"Shut up!"

"Have you got disc two in? You know, the one they put the extra features on?"

"Of course I haven't!"

The start of the commentary started for a fifth time and Owen surreptitiously checked the case. There was a slight clattering sound as a disc was taken out and the one in the DVD drive was swapped over.

Gwen silently punched the air with her fist.

"SHUT UP, Cooper!"

I chose 'A Beautiful Mind' (which, coincidentally, I do not own the copyrights to) because that was the film I did that with in one of my lessons. I was so proud to be able to give technological advice for once, instead of receive it!

I probably could have thought of a more appropriate film if I'd tried, but to be honest the only reason I know how to operate a DVD player is because of Torchwood. I haven't actually watched many films. I spend most of my free time writing instead.
