Author: badly_knitted

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

A/N: Part Twenty-Two of the Drone series. Here’s another triple drabble.

“That drone really is a remarkable piece of engineering, especially considering what you and Toshiko were working with,” the Doctor told Ianto as he and Jack joined the little group clustered around Torchwood’s prisoner, who was now sipping a fresh coffee.

“The design is mainly Tosh’s,” Ianto replied, typically modest. “I just made suggestions and sourced raw materials. Can I get you a coffee Doctor? Or perhaps you’d prefer tea?”

“Coffee please. When in Rome!” He turned to Hart. “Now, what are we going to do about you? Can’t leave you here on earth to cause more trouble, can we?”

OoOoOoOoO

Hart sighed.

“I only came back here looking for a little help and consideration, but they care more about that drone than they do about a fellow human in need!”

“Spare us the sob story, flyboy!” Donna folded her arms across her chest. “I’ve met your kind before. Probably been treated better than ya deserve.”

“They tossed me in the boot!”

“Really? I would’ve tied ya to the roof, ya smell a bit ripe, could do with a shower.”

“Yeah, well, no one offered.”

“That’ll ‘ave to change if you’re comin’ with us then. We are takin’ ‘im, right Doc?”

OoOoOoOoO

The Doctor looked at Hart.

“Well now, I don’t know. Strictly speaking, I was only invited over to provide Torchwood’s new drone with a perception filter. No one said anything about picking up passengers.”

“Well, can’t leave ‘im ‘ere. Ianto has enough to do without ‘avin’ another inmate to feed. Besides, I kinda like ‘im. Needs some work, but I’m pretty sure I could whip ‘im into shape.”

Hart’s eyes lit up.

“I like whips!”

Donna laughed.

“You would.”

“Weeeeeeell,” the Doctor drawled, “travelling on the TARDIS didn’t do Jack any harm and I do like a challenge. Alright then.”

Donna is AWESOME! It's a fact - Hart better get used to it, lol!

Thank you!

You had to know all it would take was a word from Donna to get the Doctor to go along with taking Hart.

[bk_forever]

Well of course! There's no point saying 'no' to Donna, it's a waste of time, lol!

Thank you!

Oh good the Doctor is taking Hart with him, but I dont think its gonna be easy on Hart, I think Donna is going to be VEEEERY strict on him.

Great drabbble.

[bk_forever]

You can be sure of that! Donna will whip him into shape and art will love it!

Thank you!

Oh Doctor and Donna...you have your work cut out for you. Hart will either straighten up his act or get some really good ideas...

[bk_forever]

They'll straighten him out. He might resist a bit at first, but in the end they'll whip him into shape. John will no doubt complain about them not using an actual whip, but he can't have everything!

Thank you!

[bk_forever]

Hart does not measure his luck ...

Nice :-)
I like how the doctor recognises a little bit of the old Jack in John, and therefore sees that maybe even John Hart has potential.

[bk_forever]

I wanted the Doctor to be more open-minded and accepting than he sometimes appeared on the show. John is a rogue, but I like to think he's not irredeemable, with the proper handling, lol!.

Thank you!
