This is the first of badly-knitted's words.
Title: A Man Of Integrity
Author: Daashi
Fandom: Torchwood
Characters: Ianto Jones, Toshiko Sato, Owen Harper, Gwen Cooper
Pairings: n/a
Rating: 13+
Genre: Drabble
Warnings: OOC Ianto, OOC all around (the ending of 'Small Worlds' always pissed me off, this is more about me venting at 'Team Torchwood')
G: "That poor girl."
O: "Heartless bastard."
I: "Here, here."
T: "I'm surprised you're not lobbying us to forgive Jack, Ianto."
I: "Someone touched by some unfathomable other, someone who stopped being human the moment she was touched, was sacrificed by Jack Harkness to prevent more than the two deaths that occurred."
G: "Three. The faeries killed three people."
I: "Oh, we're talking about Jasmine, I thought we were talking about Lisa."
G: "It's nothing like that."
I: "The only difference that I see is that your lives weren't in danger so you lot weren't in such a hurry to pick up your weapons."
O: "No wait just one god-damn minute."
I: "Screw everybody else. Screw Estelle Cole, who loved and idolised the Tylwyth Teg since she was a child. Screw Jasmine's stepfather, the man who raised her as his own. Well I am all for celebrating the death of that paedophile, but you Gwen were all for bleeting over his dead body, by the way how did that performance go over with your ex-colleagues."
G: "Ianto."
I: "You lot may be able to convince yourselves that you aren't a bunch of hypocrites and look yourselves in the eye when facing the mirror in the morning, but I don't think for one second I could, I would, look at you lot willing."
O: "Oi, Tosh. Where are you going?"
T: "To apologise to Jack. When the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, Jack will always choose the many, choose Earth, choose Humanity. Jack is a man of integrity."
