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.

148. Fighting Back

Title: Fighting Back

Author: badly-knitted

Characters: Jack, Ianto. Owen mentioned.

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

Fourth of five drabbles for this week's challenge. This is the first of a two-parter, the other one will hopefully be posted tomorrow.

I love Janto: Nosy has good sense. If it can be easily seen, there's less chance of being stepped on, which is a good thing. It just needs to choose the best colour for optimum visibility in the Hub. Thank you.

Returning to the main Hub, Ianto tugged his overalls off and collapsed on the sofa with a groan, wiping his soot-streaked forehead with the back of one hand.

"How's it looking down there?" Jack asked, handing him a bottle of water.

Ianto shuddered.

"Not good, the alien mould's spreading fast. The flamethrowers are keeping it confined to level nine for now, but we can't hold it off indefinitely. If Owen doesn't come up with something to kill it soon, the whole Hub will be green and fuzzy by the end of next week. Imagine what that'll do to the archives!"
