Days like this, Ianto found himself looking back on his time at Torchwood One with a kind of detached fondness. Yes, much of the work had been routine, mainly clerical in nature, and somewhat dull when compared to the variety and near constant danger of working at Torchwood Three, but at least his colleagues in London had behaved like mature adults. The same couldn't be said of his current teammates.

"What the hell are you lot doing? That's not a toy!"

"Relax, don't get your knickers in a twist," Owen replied. "We're just having a bit of fun. You should try it sometime." He tossed what he was holding to Gwen, who caught it and lobbed it back as Jack tried to grab it.

"Right. Just don't say I didn't warn you when it splits."

"Splits?" Owen repeated, turning toward Ianto just as Gwen went to throw again. "What d'you mean?"

As the object hit Owen's shoulder, the rubbery outer casing gave way, and evil-smelling greenish-brown goop oozed thickly from the split.

"Ugh!" Gwen held her nose.

"Maybe that will teach you not to play ball with abandoned alien eggs. Have fun cleaning up the mess. I'm not doing it."
