Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: Jack is confronted by something horrible and needs rescuing.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: My sixth drabble for this challenge.
“IANTO!” Jack’s voice came through the comms., sounding more than a little panicked.
“Jack? What’s up?”
“I could really use your help here!”
“On my way.” Ianto drew his gun and set off at a run. “What is it?”
“Don’t know, but it’s big! No, huge, enormous, immense, massive, humongous, of mammoth proportions…”
“Okay, okay, I get the picture.” Ianto just hoped his handgun would be enough firepower to deal with this monster. He skidded to a halt beside Jack, looking around. “Where is it?”
“There,” Jack quavered, pointing.
Ianto looked and burst out laughing.
“Jack, it’s a stick insect!”
The End

Thank you!

Thank you!

Date: 2014-07-22 06:02 pm (UTC)Jack just doesn't like creepy crawlies, full stop. Unless they're man-sized. LOL!
The only things that bother me are big spiders, and possibly hornets, but I've only seen one of those once.
Thank you!

Thank you!

(I personally think those things are cool. Also cicadas, click beetles, spiders, and all sorts of other bugs. AS you can imagine, that makes me the designated bug-catcher whenever something shows up in the house!)

Date: 2014-07-24 11:12 am (UTC)I kept stick insects for several years, they're amazing, very stick-like. The only creepies that really bother me are big spiders, I like everything else, especially beetles. Founs a big beetle on its back and tangled in spiders web the other week. It's nice being able to rescue critters like that. I think it was a female stag beetle.
Thank you!
