Characters: James Bond, Tosh, Ianto, Jack, Gwen & Owen
Rating: G
Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: Ianto and Torchwood get an unexpected and very famous visitor thanks to the Rift.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: This is for angelsphonebox’s prompt ‘Ianto meets James Bond’. It ended up being a quadruple drabble.
A/N2: HAPPY BIRTHDAY angelsphonebox, hope you like what I’ve done with your prompt!
The man in the tuxedo smiled and extended his hand towards Tosh.
“The name’s…”
“Bond,” said Ianto, approaching the two. “James Bond, 007 to be precise.”
Bond raised an eyebrow.
“How do you know that? Who are you? And where exactly am I?”
“Ianto Jones, at your service. Sorry to have to tell you this, Mr Bond, but you’ve fallen through a Rift in time and space into an alternate universe.”
“Seriously?”
Ianto nodded.
“Afraid so. In our universe, you’re a fictional character.”
Bond frowned.
“Fictional? As in…?”
“Novels and a popular movie series.”
Bond looked mildly perturbed,
“How odd.”
oOo
“Well, that explains the bright light and rough landing. Q has always insisted alternate universes exist, if only he could discover how to access them. The old boy will turn green with envy when I…” He trailed off. “He’ll never know, will he? This is confoundedly inconvenient; I was in the middle of a rather urgent assignment, now I’m stuck in… Where did you say this is?”
“Cardiff. Don’t worry, we’ll get you home, Miss Sato here is a genius, our version of Q you might say.”
Bond took Tosh’s hand, kissing it.
“Enchanted to make your acquaintance.”
Tosh blushed.
oOo
At the Hub, Bond met Jack and was subjected to his best flirting.
“Is he always like that?” Bond asked Ianto.
“No, he’s usually much worse.”
“How do you put up with it?”
“I threaten him with decaf.”
Bond sipped his coffee appreciatively.
“Yes, I can see how that would be effective.”
Gwen was star-struck, giggling and blushing at Bond’s comments. Owen was his usual grumpy self.
“Interesting people you work with.”
“Don’t let appearances fool you, they’re actually quite competent.”
“That’s comforting to know,” Bond commented dryly.
“Tosh will call when we’re needed. Meanwhile, let me show you around.”
oOo
Bond found the tour fascinating.
“I wonder if my universe has a Torchwood.”
“Wouldn’t surprise me at all. I wonder if I work for Torchwood there.”
“If you don’t, I intend to have you employed at MI5.”
“You’re too kind, Mr Bond,” Ianto smirked.
“Think nothing of it, Mr Jones.”
Just then, Tosh called them over.
“Rift spike in fifteen. You’ll just have time to return to your arrival point.”
.....
In the alleyway, Bond shook Ianto’s hand.
“It was a pleasure meeting you, Mr Jones.”
“Likewise. Safe trip, Mr Bond.”
With that, Bond stepped into the Rift portal, and vanished.
The End

Date: 2014-09-03 11:41 pm (UTC)I really would love to see Bond get home, find Ianto and recruit him to MI5. Cause seriously, Ianto would be a kick arse spy.

Date: 2014-09-05 02:22 am (UTC)I love how similar they both are, very smooth and suave. I always knew they'd get on well together ;)
I think we may need a follow up where Bond meets a Ianto Jones in his universe and maybe even gets him a job at MI5 like he promised...

Thank you!

Date: 2014-09-05 10:18 am (UTC)They really are a lot alike - I think Ianto may have modelled his suit-wearing persona on James Bond after watching the movies so many times. They really made a good impression on each other.
It's under consideration, I'm just not sure of my ability to write Bond's universe.

I'm thinking, and tell me that Bond is famous around the world, I prefer Ianto. It is a class well above. It manages Jack knows how to stay calm in all situations in which Bond does not even idea, makes a coffee thunder of God ...
Unquestionably, this is Ianto King.

Thank you!

Date: 2015-01-17 08:31 pm (UTC)And Ianto as ever was cool as a cucumber :-)
Wish I could be that calm when I meet my heroes (I turned into a babbling fan girl when I was fortunate enough to see gdl)!

Date: 2015-01-17 11:43 pm (UTC)Ianto only went fangirl after Bond left, 'cause he didn't want Bond to think badly of him.
Thank you!
