I love Janto: Hart is a pain in everything. Funny how he just doesn't seem to realise, lol!

Tosh can fix anything, but sometimes she needs access to parts and technology that don't exist yet.

Probably not a good idea, we don't want to traumatise the weevils o_O

Thank you!

katladygh: Ch. 230 - Musical Mystery - Hopefully by the time you catch up and read this you'll have read my replies to your previous comments and you'll know who Nosy is ;)

Glad you enjoyed the 12 Days of Riftmas - I started writing it when I only had an idea for Day 1, which in the song is a Partridge in a Pear Tree, but the Rift gave them a pair in Mrs Partridge's tree *shrugs* Not the best pun in the world, I personally prefer days 4 and 6.

Ch. 231 - Hot Pursuit - Yep! Not really supposed to use yourself as the ball though ;)

Ch. 255 - Soap Addicts - I don't think Ianto would object to the pets watching those. Soaps, on the other hand, are the work of the devil! (You may notice that I'm not a Soap fan, lol!)

Ch. 262 - The Greatest Gift - Awwww! Sorry, I hope they were happy tears!

Ch. 272 - Nice View - That's an ability Jack would be willing to die for, I'm sure! I'll have to see if I can come up with something at some point. Personally, I liked the Human Torch. Sue's little brother was hot stuff! It was a toss-up between him and X-Men's Angel, though I had a soft spot for Cyclops too.

Thanks for your reviews!

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Jack was astounded.

"Need you? Yeah, about as much as I need a hole in the head! At your best, you're a loose cannon. We have a shaky enough relationship with the local police as it is; with you on the team, we'd all be in jail before the week was out!"

"So I have a few issues with authority, who doesn't?"

Jack actually growled.

"Tosh, see that the drone is secure, we're going back to the Hub."

"What about Hart?" asked Owen. "It'll be a bit cramped with four in the back seat."

"Then shove him in the boot."

.

OoOoOoOoO

.

The drive to the Hub was punctuated by loud and inventive curses from the boot.

Tosh had done as Jack asked, securing the drone so it wouldn't get damaged; it was a delicate piece of machinery after all. No one had bothered to do the same for Hart though, and Jack was driving with more than his usual recklessness. Ianto suspected it was a kind of revenge.

The team suffered the jouncing with their usual stoicism, they were all well used to Jack's driving. If Hart wound up with the odd bruise or broken bone, well, he probably deserved it.
