"What do you think?" Kara asked as she leaned on the counter.
"That it's time you called them and let them know what's happened" Anwen answered as she watched from the sofa, "You know they need to know."
"Tad will lose his shit in that silent way while Dad will go ape-shit" Kara sighed, "I am safe here, we will go home after the Hens Night."
"Kara…" Anwen started and then squeaked as the air shimmered near Kaka and John Hart appeared, looking around with interest.
"Fuck!" Willem leapt up, "He just jumped in. I thought we had a shield around that."
"Obviously not chicken lickin' I felt a disturbance in the force. I like those movies, have you watched them? Ianto has the set…what." John crooned, "So… you know what that means don't you?"
"My perentals are probably incoming" Kara sighed
"Noooo" John sing-songed, "It means I might not be the only animal here."
They stared at him as he winked, "Bet you've not scanned for another VM have you princess."
"Ahhhh shit" she flopped as John laughed and flipped open his VM, starting a scan of the complex.
"I've just spoken with Jack, he's going to break it to….son of a bitch!" Gwen walked in and looked at the man in the middle of the room, "How the hell did you get in here."
"The security isn't working" Kara said softly, "He's scanning. John?"
"Yep" he said after a few moments, "Three little rats in the walls."
"You have got to be shitting me" Willem rose to turn in a slow circle, "They're in here?"
"Close, within 500 metres, closing probably" John grinned, his Katana making a hissing sound as he drew if from it's scabbard, "Time to dance little one."
"Damn it all to hell" Kara ran to the kitchen area of the accommodation and turned on the stove, slamming pots of water on the hotplates, as well as one full of cooking oil. She then flicked the kettle and leaned against the counter, her arms out, "OK. Call them in. Let's dance."
John tapped some buttons then three confused agents appeared in the room, Gwen swinging at the first one who was close to her, her fist and foot hitting him square to slam him into the wall, John stabbing him as he crowed.
Willem chose another, Anwen cursing as she leapt over the sofa to find safety and Kara seized the boiled kettle, throwing it on the woman coming at her, then the cooking oil. As the woman stood screaming she chose more water.
Water is good for burns, right?
She was enjoying herself now as she looked around and seized a knife from the block, slamming it into the woman's face with a snarl if glee.
Willem had hold of the man who was still screaming as those huge jaws severed the leg, spitting it out as Willem sat back to watch the man clutch at his thigh and scream some more.
John stalked over and leaned in "Hello honey."
"I don't believe it, are there any more?" Gwen asked, shaking her hand as she tried to ease her knuckles, damn if she wasn't getting old.
"Nope, just these" John answered as he rose, "I know Jack would like to play but I think he will expire soon so…"
"Do it" Kara ordered and John knelt.
"You listen to me and focus. Talk to me and tell me the truth and I will end it. Mislead and I will make sure this death takes so very long" he hissed, the man looking at him with fear. "You know who I am, you know my training. You doubt this?"
"No"
"Why are you after Karaline"
The man blinked and glanced at her, "The Welsh Dragon, we are to get the Welsh Dragon."
"My necklace?" she pulled it out and showed it to him, the man nodding.
"We were told the Welsh Dragon would be with you, we were to get him."
"Him" John looked at the necklace and then started to laugh, "You stupid dicks, you didn't research anything did you. You took it literally to mean a dragon. I sometimes wonder why we even survived."
Gwen sat and looked at the young faces around her, "I'm missing something?"
"The Welsh Dragon" John said calmly, "Him. Get him, that a thing a person. Who is a Welsh Dragon? Come on Gappy, think about it. Who would they nickname a Welsh Dragon?"
"Ianto?"
"Yeah. They are after him, I guess they either know Kai is born or think he is due. Maybe they are hopeful of a two for one but… more likely they want him as leverage now or breeding now they are sure he can do it again. Give us the Kai for the Dragon kinda thing or we just breed our own little super solider."
As John spoke he slid the Katana into the man's chest and the death rattle filled the room, then John pulled it back to kneel and wipe it clean on the man's shirt.
"Well, fuck the Hen's Night" Anwen said calmly, "We can all move it to the Slice. Come on, we take it home to your place and your Tad can happily hover."
"Happy? Eye Cady?" John laughed, "Are you kidding? He will wanna kill something when he sees the bruising coming out on his little girl's face there."
Kara looked in the mirror as her face started to show her earlier fight in town and she cursed.
Yep.
Slathering and raging ahead for sure.
