The Torchwood Drabble Files

by badly-knitted

A collection of Torchwood drabbles that continues to grow. Thanks to everyone who's making this possible. You're greatly appreciated, so I'm reinstating an old game - the writer of every 100th review gets to request a drabble/ficlet of their choice. Still using a T rating to cover anything I might write, just to be safe.

389. Interesting Offers - Follows Ch 388

Title: Interesting Offers - Sequel to 'Welcoming Visitors'

Author: badly-knitted

Characters: Jack, Ianto, Team, John Hart, the Doctor, Donna Noble

Rating: PG-13

Written For: Challenge 315 – Drone at tw100

Spoilers: None really, as long as you're aware of the Doctor's companions.

Summary: With the Doctor occupied, something else capture's Donna's interest.

Disclaimer: I don't own Torchwood, or the characters.

A/N: My 150th drabble post this year! (It's probably closer to 170 individual drabbles what with all the double drabbles I've been posting, but I'm only counting the number of times I've posted one or more Torchwood drabbles.)

This is also Part 18 of the Drone series!

N.B. The second drabble of this pair sort of switches to Hart's POV.

.

Guest: No, actually Jack doesn't meet Donna until the Stolen Earth episides of Doctor Who, which are set after Exit Wounds. This is also set after Exit Wounds (my version, where no one dies), but before The Stolen Earth, the events of which would be somewhat different in this 'Verse because I don't like Donna losing her memories. She's too awesome to sacrifice, my version of Ten would find another way.

Thank you!

I love Janto: I reckon Donna could put anyone in their place!

Donna is more than a match for John Hart and she'll get along well with the team, though she's not ready to put down roots just yet. Give her another year travelling with the Doctor, then we'll see.

Ianto and Donna would be good friends, though not as close as Ianto and Tosh. I think she'll get along well with Owen too.

Thank you!

Jack scowled at Hart.

"That's keeping him out of trouble. He's an unwanted visitor; we can't decide what to do with him. Excuse me, there's something I need to ask the Doc." Jack strolled over to where his friend was rhapsodising over Tosh's drone.

Ianto turned to Donna

"Would you like a coffee?"

"Oooh, please! I'm parched. The Doc makes a mean cuppa, but he can't make coffee to save his life."

"Oi, Eye Candy!" Hart yelled, holding up his mug. "Do I get a refill?"

Ianto rolled his eyes.

"What did your last slave die of?"

"Hey! Chained here!"

OoOoOoOoO

As Jack's visitor droned on in the background, the redhead turned to Hart. He stared back appreciatively.

She wasn't the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen, but she was feisty. And that red hair! She'd be a real handful.

Sauntering towards him, she stopped just out of reach, looking him up and down.

"Well you're a bit of alright." She offered her hand. "Donna Noble, and who might you be?"

Hart took her hand, kissing it gallantly.

"Captain John Hart, at your service. And believe me, Red, I wouldn't say no to servicing you!"

"Cheeky! I think I like you!"
