Title: Questions - Sequel to ‘Taking Hart’

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: John Hart, Jack, Tosh, Ianto

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 315 – Drone at tw100

Spoilers: Minor for KKBB (sort of) and Exit Wounds (my AU version).

Summary: The questioning begins, but Hart’s answers aren’t what the team were expecting.

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

A/N: Oh look, here’s two more drabbles. ;)

With Hart relieved of the weapons the drone had detected and securely cuffed, Jack holstered his Webley, standing before his nemesis, arms folded over his chest.

“What d’you want, Hart? Didn’t I make myself clear enough last time you were here? You’re not welcome in my city, Cardiff’s barely recovered from your last visit.”

“Hey! I already said I was sorry; wasn’t exactly given a choice y’know. Thought we’d made our peace over that.”

“Only on the understanding that you’d leave and never come back,” Jack snapped. “What’s important enough to bring you back to earth?”

“Back? I never left!”

OoOoOoOoO

“Never left? What’re you talking about? We got a Rift alert, and here you are.”

“Oh, I’m here alright. Picked up the alert on this.” Hart held up his wrist strap. “Thought I’d stop by, see what was goin’ on, maybe lend a hand. Got here just ahead of your busy bee there.” He gestured in the general direction of the hovering drone without bothering to look.

“You didn’t come through the Rift?” Tosh asked.

“Nah, don’t need the Rift for short hops planetside, the teleport function’s enough.”

“So if it wasn’t you, what caused the Rift spike?” asked Ianto.

Well that's an interesting plot twist - now I'm wondering what actually came through the rift... :D

[bk_forever]

So am I! It's a mystery - but whatever it was, it can get around by itself....

Thank you!

So I'm guessing Hart didn't see what it was that came through, or is he just not saying, yet?

[bk_forever]

That would be telling ;)

Thank you!

oh oh what is the new thing or person?

[bk_forever]

You'll have to wait and see, I guess ;)

Thank you!

Hart must be up to something - since when does he show up for Rift Alerts?

[bk_forever]

Maybe he was just in the neighbourhood?

You'll find out at some point ;)

Thank you!

Torchwood might join forces with Hart? This should be interesting! :)

[bk_forever]

Or vice versa - whatever it is, they're ready for it! Or maybe not. ;)

Thank you!

HMM ok this is interesting,

great drabble cant wait for the next.

[bk_forever]

The next one provides a few answers, and probably more questions, Lol!

Thank you!

I've never really been sure if Hart has a death wish or not, and just showing up like that makes me wonder even more.

[bk_forever]

You're assuming Hart had a choice in the matter, lol! His choices are currently somewhat limited.

Thank you!

Hmm, so what did come through the rift?
And why didn't John leave Earth? And doesn't he have better things to do than come and bother the Torchwood team? Is he really that bored?

[bk_forever]

He really IS that bored. He's been trying to stay out of trouble because he can't run that far and has no official identity on earth, but it's frustrating, he craves action and the only place he's likely to find it without risking too much is with Torchwood. Getting drunk is monotonous, earth drugs aren't enough for him, but he's stuck.

Thank you!
