Title: Visit From An Old Friend

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Ianto, Jack, Special Guest

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 326 – Doctor’s Visit at tw100

Spoilers: Reset.

Summary: Jack’s expecting a very special visitor and asks Ianto to greet her.

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

“Ianto, can you spare a few minutes?”

“Of course, sir.” Ianto made his way over to Jack. “What’s up?”

“I need you to man the Tourist Office this afternoon, I’m expecting a visitor, an old friend from UNIT. I don’t know what time she’ll arrive, but I’d like you to be there to meet her and bring her down to the Hub.”

“No problem. I’ll do some paperwork while I’m waiting.”

OoO

Paperwork long finished, Ianto was flipping through a magazine when Jack’s visitor finally arrived.

Doctor Martha Jones was definitely not what he’d imagined when Jack had said ‘old friend’!

The End

It's a good thing Martha didn't hear Jack use the word "old" when describing her! LOL!

I thought I'd do one canon-based one, lol! None of the others are, and I still have a few to post!

Thank you!

Yes, it would've been nice to see more, especially as Ianto seemed to get along with her really well too. I'd rather hoped, after The Stolen Earth, that season three might start with Torchwood rebuilding and Martha joining the team as the new doctor. Much as I hate to acknowledge Owen and Tosh's deaths most of the time (and I generally ignore any references to Ianto being no more (he's alive and well in my mind), I think if Owen needed to be replaced, Martha was the one to do it. I could have got behind a third season where the surviving members of the team were picking up the pieces and learning to go on without their friends. Then CoE happened instead.

Exactly! Ianto was taken by surprise, but it was a pleasant surprise!

Thank you!

[bk_forever]

I'm sure Ianto will fill her in ;)

Jack will wonder why she slapped him!

Thank you!

Poor Ianto, he really should have expected something like this from Jack :)

[bk_forever]

It was kind of a nice surprise though, no old battleaxe, just a young and lovely woman ;)

Thank you!

*giggles* I would've loved to have read Ianto's mind during that moment.

Probably something quite complimentary regarding Martha and rather less than complimentary regarding Jack!

Thank you!

Good use of the prompt - Not the old friend we were all expecting :-)

Thank you! I like to do the unexpected. =)
