Title: The Possimpible - Sequel to 'Identifying The Impossible'

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Ianto, Jack, OC

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 316 – Reverse Fandom – How I Met Your Mother at tw100

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: Jack explains, which doesn’t really help much.

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

A/N: Prompt = title.

“A Possimpible? What’s that?” Ianto sounded rather bemused.

Jack laughed.

“Possimpibles are things that’re mostly what they should be, but partly not. It’s an occasional side effect of living so close to the Rift. Almost everyone around here is a tiny bit not what they are, but in most cases it’s like 0.00001%, practically undetectable, you’d never know. Some creatures attract more of what they aren’t though, and they become Possimpibles. This one seems to have picked up nearly 8% of Not Wallaby. That’s high, must’ve been very near a few Rift events.”

“Is it dangerous?”

“Nah. Just kinda weird.”

Lol!
Makes sense I guess..

The Torchwood team seek out rift activity.... does that mean they are in danger of becoming possimpibles?

Jack's explanations always make sense. It's just that often people can't understand them, lol!

The team tends to arrive after the fact, so there's less chance for them to change so drastically, though enhanced abilities are quite likely. I like to think Daisy escaped fromm the zoo and was right there when the Rift dropped the defabricator, so got a big dose of whatever the Rift was lugging around at the time, stray bits of DNA it didn't know what to do with. Maybe Daisy was prone to escaping a lot and was on the scene several times when the Rift dropped something off, so the bits of stray DNA built up over time.

Thank you!
