Summary: A simple school trip turns into something of a nightmare when Laura and Morgan are faced with an ancient problem...

Chapter 17 Part 2 - Dino Dillema

Don't get me wrong, I love school trips. They're fun, they're different, and they get you the day off school. What's not to like?! Especially seeing as this is bound to be way more exciting than Jack giving us a way-too-long lecture about the war itself, having been there.

We walked around the exhibits in our own group, and Dan was part of ours, much to my displeasure; I really hate his gut after what he said about my mum and dad. I gave Owen the whole run-down of it the next time I was at the Hub, and he asked me if I wanted him to punch Dan for me.

"Owen, don't worry: I took care of the punching myself." I told him.

"Eugh, you're so like your mum," he muttered grumpily, "If someone insults you, you take care of it yourself, and never let me have any fun..."

"You kick alien arse on a daily basis!" I exclaimed, "When I can do that, then you can fight my battles for me. Until then, I shall slap whoever annoys me, and then tease you with the story."

"Love you too, LJ," Owen muttered.

But Dan and I were now on even worse terms than before. Which is why, as we were walking around the World War Two exhibit for what felt like the hundredth time, and Morgan was telling everyone the lecture Jack had given us, I was standing at the back with Charles, casually swearing at the back of Dan's head.

Call me childish if you want; I call it anger management.

When Morgan caught me doing it, she stifled her laughter, joined in for about ten seconds, and then we realised that she had stopped in the middle of her story and everyone except Dan was now staring at us, grinning slightly.

"So, yeah, and then there was this thing where..." Morgan continued hastily.

When we left the WWII exhibit and drifted into the Dinosaur exhibit (my idea. I love dinosaurs... just not lives ones that try to eat me every time I step foot into the Hub...) Morgan frowned at the pterodactyl skeleton hanging from the ceiling.

"What's betting that was one of Myfanwy's relatives." she whispered to me quietly, making sure no one overheard. I rolled my eyes.

"What I'm being serious." Morgan protested.

"I know you are, but do you really believe that it could be?" Laura replied. Morgan just nodded sincerely as I laughed. I mean, chances are they're not even real dinosaur bones for goodness sake...

After a few minutes the whole exhibit cleared, leaving just our group wandering around, getting bored.

"Can we leave yet?" Morgan asked, looking bored.

"Yeah, I suggest going to the cafe," I said. Everyone rolled their eyes at me, "What?! I like food!"

"Tell us something we don't know!" Morgan said laughing. I poked my tongue out at her.

"Oh, hang on, my gloves are by that big skeleton thing," Charlotte said suddenly.

"Which big skeleton thing?!" I asked, "There are lots of big skeleton things! It's a dinosaur exhibit!"

"The biggest one!" she said, turning around. "AHHHHHH!" Charlotte screamed.

All of us turned around in a flash. Standing right in front of us, was a T-Rex skeleton.

"Oh shit! Charlotte get back!" Morgan and I yelled. Charlotte stumbled back towards us as we all started backing away.

"Laura, do you have anything?" Morgan asked em desperately.

"Weapon wise, no." I replied. "Gadget wise, yes." Honestly, what a ridiculous question. I always have gadgets. It's like my thing. The old Torchwood base apparently didn't have much security. Thinking about, Torchwood 3's security wasn't much better. Jack should really do something about that. Not that I'm going to tell him to...

"Ok." Morgan said, pulling her gun out. I really should have know...

"You have a gun!" I asked, as if I needed to.

"With the life I, and now you, have, you never know when it will come in handy." Morgan told me. What a typical, Morganish response...

As Morgan aimed her gun at the T-Rex, something else caught our eyes.

"They're all coming alive!" I said angrily. Stupid school trips...

"I have a bad feeling that I know what they are." Morgan said.

"What are they?" I asked.

"They're Dinoflanes. They are dinosaurs' without skin or organs, so they're just skeletons."

"Nice. Well at least you don't have to deal with any blood." Morgan laughed.

"Let me check though." she said.

"What?! There's no time to check!" why couldn't she just shoot it?!

"Hey! Leave me alone, I want to use it!" she said grinning.

"It?" I questioned. I'm not even sure I want to know what 'it' is...

Morgan pulled her sonic screwdriver out of her pocket. Honestly, any excuse to use it, and she will.

"Yup, Dinoflanes." Morgan gulped.

"Now we have that sorted, can we get rid of them now?!" I yelled.

"Ok! Calm it Kermit!"

"Just hurry up already!" I screamed at her.

After a few minutes, lots of banging (no, that is not a euphemism...) and me doing my thing by containing all the creatures, all of the 'Dinoflanes' had been taken care of.

"That was so cool!" I said, grinning. Being in the field is fun!

"I know right." Morgan replied, "But so you know, this doesn't mean we went into the field, it just means we were the closest members to the situation."

"Damn it." I said, frowning.

"I know." Morgan agreed.

"So, what now?"

"We wait until the rest of the team get here."

"And that will be when?" I asked, knowing all about Owen's rubbish time keeping.

"In a few minutes I suspect."

We turned around to see that quite a big crowd had gathered, mostly containing our classmates and teacher. Woops...

"Some people are gonna be Retconned." Morgan said in the little sing-songy voice she's so fond of.

"Your dads are gonna kill you." I sang back.

"Only if they find out."

"Who says I won't tell them?"

"If you do, then your mum and dad will find out." Crap...

"I didn't think about that. What are we gonna do?"

"We'll make something up." Morgan ended our little sing-song on that note (HA! See what I did there?)

Only Jack, Ianto and Gwen turned up five minutes later. Morgan said Owen must be back the hub with Tosh looking after the kids.

"What happened?" Jack asked a little worriedly, walking over to us.

"Dinoflanes. Did I say that right?" I asked, turning to Morgan

"Yeah." I she replied. I nodded, proud of myself.

"Dinoflanes, you got to be kidding me. Where are they now?" Jack asked.

I tossed Jack the device I caught the dino-thingies in, which he caught in one hand.

"I found it, at the apartment. I was going to give it to you when we came back." I told him. Ha! Not. My gadget. Mine, mine, mine. I just lost one of my favourite gadgets... oh well, I guess I'll steal it back...

"This is starting to become a bit of a habit..." Jack muttered. "And how did you get them in there, they have to be piles of bones before you can contain them?"

"They got shot." I replied simply, before considering my word choice and realising that I could have said that better.

"How?" Jack asked suspiciously.

"The security guards shot them." Morgan said quickly. Ah, one problem... no security guards.

"No they didn't! Morgan, you shot them!" Emily said. Gotta love Emily...

"They don't know what they're talking about, they're in shock." I told him, putting on my 'I'm calm right now when everyone else is panicking. You have to believe me' voice, "But I think you may need to Retcon these people."

"What do you think Gwen and Ianto are doing now." Jack replied. Ah, Torchwood. Always one step ahead of the game.

"Come on, what really...actually. I don't care what really happened. Just make sure it doesn't happen again." Jack said, leaving to go over to Gwen and Ianto.

"Phew." Morgan sighed. I could have put it better myself...
