Everyone appeared at work the next morning. Everything was back to normal again, even though Tosh struggled to move, she was alive, and that was all that counted.

'How are you feeling today, Tosh?' Owen asked chirpily. Tosh smiled at him.

'I feel good. Could you help me sit up?' she asked, trying to do it partly herself. Owen carefully placed her in the sitting position.

'Careful. It's unusual for someone who was shot in the stomach to be able to sit up, you know, Tosh' Owen told her. She just smiled.

'Yeah, well. I have to move to do my job' she replied.

Then Gwen walked in smiling. 'Tosh! How are you?' she beamed, walking towards her and Owen but leaning on the banister of the stairs which overlooks the autopsy bay, where Tosh had spent the past 30 or so hours being operated on and recovering on. 'I'm good thanks, Gwen. I can sit up, so, before long I'll be doing my job normally again, fit as a fiddle.'

Ianto and Jack walked out of his office, giggling. They had obviously spent the night together. Owen and Tosh raised their eyebrows, and Gwen smiled at them both. 'So, get this. A girl was walking home last night and says she got attacked by this "huge creepy looking thing with wings". She says it bit her and the wound it oozing purple goo.. any ideas?' Jack told them all.

'Well, it could have been a disturbing looking bird.. Or maybe it was just an owl or something… you know how girls can overreact' Ianto stated, looking at Jack, smirking.

'Not that many owl bites contain purple goo. Although I have been on this one planet, the guys there..'

'Woah! Okay' Owen said loudly, cutting Jack off abruptly before he could finish whatever sentence that was going to be. Gwen and Tosh were smirking behind him. 'How about we bring this girl here, do some tests.. see if we can find anything from that.'

'Good idea' Jack said loudly. 'Ianto, Owen, you come with me. Gwen, you stay here and look after Toshiko.'

Gwen's once amused expression changed to anger. 'What?! So while you're all out there searching for this girl who may have been bitten by an alien, I have to stay here and babysit? No offence, Tosh.'

'Told you girls overreact' Ianto said quietly to Owen, who's side of his mouth turned up in silent amusement.

'Well, someone has to stay with Toshiko, she can barely move' Jack told Gwen.

'Can you stop talking about me like I'm not here?' Tosh piped up, annoyed. 'I can take care of myself, you know.'

Ianto stepped forward. 'I'll stay here with her. Besides, someone needs to make tea for when you get back' he smiled.

'Right, okay, Owen, Gwen, let's go' Jack said. Owen and Gwen headed through the door and Jack delayed his exit slightly to give Ianto a quick spank before he left. 'Oi!' Ianto said loudly, smirking as he walked away.
