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.

387. Ideas & Invites - Follows 'Booted'

Title: Ideas & Invites - Sequel to 'Booted'

Author: badly-knitted

Characters: Ianto, John Hart, Tosh, Jack, Team, surprise guest

Rating: PG

Written For: Challenge 315 – Drone at tw100

Spoilers: Mentions TYTNW.

Summary: Back at the Hub, the team make plans for modifying their drone – with a little help from a friend.

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

A/N: And another pair! We're moving into the final section of this fic now, though I'm not ruling out the possibility of writing a sequel about what happens to Hart at some point. No promises, depends on how the bunnies bounce!

I love Janto: Oh, I wish I'd thought of that! John Hart trussed up and tied to the roof of the SUV is just such a wonderful mental image! Especially considering Jack's driving, lol!

Jack does know a lot of words (and languages) that the rest of the team don't. John knows more, at least when it comes to swearing - he actively collects such things, I'm sure!

John's pretty tough, he'll bounce around and get bruised but nothing will be broken. He was a Time Agent, I'm sure he's survived worse.

Thank you!

Guest: Well, don't feel too sorry for him, he always seems to fall on his feet and good things will soon be happening in his own personal universe, lol!

Thank you!

katladygh: Ch. 288 - Multitasking? - I think Ianto considers resting as a kind of welcome but accidental result of his ingenuity. It's not planned, it's a bonus, lol!

Thank you!

They sat around the coffee table sipping from steaming mugs of Ianto's best brew, while their 'guest', chained to the nearest convenient railing, continued to annoy them.

Ianto had grudgingly offered Hart coffee too, so now they were having to endure moans of appreciation even more pornographic in nature than Jack's tended to be. It wasn't easy to ignore Hart, but they did their best while discussing the drone's need for some kind of stealth capability to prevent it drawing undue attention.

"A perception filter would be ideal," Tosh commented.

"And I know just where to get one," Jack smirked.

Since The Year That Never Was, the Doctor had gradually come to accept Jack's abnormality. While he still wasn't comfortable in the immortal's presence, he bore his discomfort silently for the sake of their friendship. After all, Jack was one of the few people who would actually outlive the Doctor; it would be foolish to reject his friendship over something that was beyond his control.

So when the Captain phoned to request the Doctor's assistance in adding a perception filter to a reconnaissance drone the brilliant Ms Sato had invented, he set the TARDIS controls for a visit to Torchwood.
