Spoilers: The existence of John Hart I guess.
Summary: What came through the Rift is finally revealed. Briefly.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: Another pair of drabbles for you.
“Can you tell what it is yet?” Jack demanded impatiently.
“No, sorry, but it’s close, we should be able to see it.” Tosh frowned at the drone’s sensor data on her PDA. “It must be invisible!”
Looking around, Hart groaned.
“Oh, you have got to be kidding! Here I was hoping it would be something dangerous, so I could be all heroic, save your lives and earn your undying gratitude. Or something.”
“What? Do ya see it?” Jack turned slowly in circle, right hand on his Webley.
“Over there.” Hart nodded towards some bushes where something was hovering, shimmering softly.
OoOoOoOoO
They watched the hazy creature drifting lazily among the roses in someone’s garden while the drone filmed it.
“What is it?” asked Tosh.
“People call them Wisps. They’re harmless wanderers, plant collectors, mostly energy. It’ll take specimens then leave, that’s what they always do. Legend has it they’re from another dimension, where every plant that ever existed flourishes. Load of bollocks if you ask me.”
“We didn’t ask you!”
Even as they watched, the Wisp snipped cuttings from the bushes then winked out of existence.
“Well that was kind of anticlimactic,” Ianto commented.
“I thought it was beautiful,” Tosh sighed.

Date: 2014-05-25 05:15 pm (UTC)Yeah, it meant they didn't try to capture it - I don't know if they could have done anyway, anything that can travel between dimensions through the Rift on its own would be pretty hard to contain.
John doesn't think in those terms when it comes tp trying to be useful, he's a man of action, wants to be DOING something. He probably doesn't even realise he helped them with the information they needed. He needs to be taught be someone who can see his potential... I wonder who that could be.
Thank you!
