Spoilers: Adrift.
Summary: Gwen won't listen, much to Jack's frustration.
Disclaimer: I don't own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: My eleventh drabble for this prompt. Hopefully I'll post another one later - I'm trying to keep up with one of my friends, it's quite a challenge!

I love Janto: Gwen might try, but Jack's not interested. He envied Gwen for what she had - a normal life outside of Torchwood. Now she doesn't have that anymore, he can't live that life vicariously through her. Her appeal for him is gone. She ignored his warnings not to let it drift, neglected Rhys, treated him badly, cheated on him and drugged him; now she's alone. She'll have to live with her regrets. They're all she has left for company. Maybe now she'll understand what it's like to lose.
Thank you.

It wasn't that Jack disliked Gwen questioning his orders; he neither expected nor wanted blind obedience from his team, was always willing to listen if they had a better idea.
The problem was the way she chose to do it. She always had to be so confrontational, loud and aggressive, in front of everyone. It was unprofessional and undermined his authority.
The others questioned him privately; listened to what he told them as he listened to them. But Gwen didn't and now she was at it again, demanding answers instead of trusting him.
Why couldn't she just let it be?
