Title: An Apple A Day – Sequel To 'If You're Not Careful…'
Author: badly-knitted
Characters: Ianto, Jack, Owen, Tosh, Gwen
Rating: G
Written For: Challenge 288, Week 4 – Reverse fandom – Last of the Summer Wine at tw100
Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: The Peruvian Wart meets its final demise.
Disclaimer: I don't own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: Episode title = drabble title. It's just easier that way.
The fifth of my eight drabbles for Week 4, and the final part of the Wart trilogy. Here endeth the Wart!
I love Janto: Have no fear, sometimes things must get worse before they get better, but sneaky though they are, Peruvian Warts are no match for Torchwood! I guarantee they'll have no more trouble from the mini menace after this!
Thank you to all my reviewers and to my new followers and favouriters. Updates to this collection will be slowing down a little soon as we're now back to the regular weekly prompts at tw100 (and this week's is proving uninspiring), but once I get caught up with my posting, there will be some short one-shots coming your way. Check out my profile if you want to request a sequel, prequel, alternate ending or alternate POV to any of my fics or drabbles. Also, we're closing in on 500 reviews - this time, whoever posts the 500th review will get a short fic written for them as their prize - their choice of prompt. Who will be the lucky reviewer?

Donning gloves and tucking trouser legs into socks, they began their search, armed with scanners for detecting the missing Wart and forceps for safe retrieval.
"When we find it, I want it destroyed," Jack ordered.
Owen wasn't inclined to protest. It was proving more trouble than it was worth trying to study it.
So no one complained when Ianto, spotting it scuttling across the floor, took it out with a well-aimed apple off Gwen's desk.
"You know the saying, 'An apple a day keeps the Wart away'."
"I thought it was Doctor, not Wart," said Tosh.
Ianto shrugged. "Same difference."
