Spoilers: None really.
Summary: It’s time for the Doctor, Donna and their unexpected passenger to depart. But they’ll probably be back someday.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: Part Twenty-Three of the Drone series. Here’s the final triple drabble. There might be some little epilogues at a later date, but for now, after no less than 45 drabbles, this is done.
“What about my weapons?” Hart demanded as he was bundled towards the TARDIS.
“You won’t need those on the TARDIS,” Jack told him blithely. “The Doc would only confiscate them so really, I’m just saving him the trouble. They’ll stay here, locked in secure archives along with our spare drone. Maybe one day you’ll be responsible enough to have them back without endangering half the known universe. Have a good trip,” and Jack shoved him unceremoniously through the door.
“Hey, don’t I get a goodbye… Whoa! Bigger on the inside! Neat! So, Red, how about showing me to your room?”
OoOoOoOoO
Jack hugged the Doctor.
“Don’t be a stranger, Doc, you know you’re always welcome here.”
“I’ll stop by for a coffee next time I’m in the neighbourhood,” the Doctor assured him. “Don’t forget what I told you, Jack. Let go of the past, otherwise it’ll keep you from appreciating everything you have here and now.”
Jack smiled faintly.
“I’ll try.”
“That’s all anyone can ask. Great seeing everybody again. Toshiko, good luck with the drone. Ianto! Take good care of Jack. I know you will! Allons-y!”
With those final words, the door closed, and a familiar sound filled the Hub.
OoOoOoOoO
Just as the TARDIS faded away, the Rift alarm started to blare and Tosh turned her attention to her computers, tapping at her keyboard and bringing up the coordinates of the latest Rift flare.
Jack bounded across to peer over her shoulder.
“Oh look, it’s in Splott! What a surprise!”
Ianto snorted with amusement.
“Forty-two percent of all Rift events are in Splott, Jack.”
“Seriously?”
“Yep! The Rift must have something against the people of Splott.”
Jack clapped his hands.
“Well, what d’you say we take advantage of serendipity by giving the drone another field test?”
“Sounds like a plan!”

Date: 2014-06-03 03:21 pm (UTC)Hart will be under 24/7 surveillance by the TARDIS, he won't get a chance to misbehave and with thed help of Donna and the Doctor he'll hopefully soon find that behaving nicely brings its own rewards.
Thank you!

I do feel a bit sorry for Splott...maybe they should rename it so the aliens can't find it?

Thank you!

Poor Splott! Always getting the bum rap.

Date: 2014-06-04 10:54 am (UTC)I wanted the Doctor to be someone who deserved Jack's admiration and respect, just ass I wanted the Doctor to respect Jack - and Torchwood - for all they do to protect the people of Cardiff (and earth as a whole). Ten, as he was in canon, often came across as petty and shallow so that needed fixing. He's still flighty and easily distracted, but he's loyal to his friends and genuinely cares for them all.
Hart does like shiny things, but Donna is so full of surprises he'll not get tired of her in a hurry. I think with the right person, Hart is capable of being true but he needs someone with a strong personality who won't put up with his bad habits but is adventurous enough to try new things.
Thank you!
