Drabble: Mystery Worm

[bk_forever]

Title: Mystery Worm

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Ianto, OC

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 331 – Worms at tw100

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: There’s a lurker in the Hub’s lower levels.

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

They didn’t know much about it, just that it was alien and lurked in the lower levels. It had been there since before Jack was ‘recruited’.

Torchwood’s records said it had been captured back in the 1880s, and had escaped shortly after being brought back to the Hub. No one had ever been able to re-capture it, though many had tried over the years, laying various kinds of traps. It was rarely seen, and mostly forgotten about.

Ianto smiled as he watched the glowing blue three-foot long worm sipping coffee from a saucer. Jack was never going to believe this!

hahhaahahahah nothing can resist Ianto's coffee!

Not even alien worms are immune!

Thank you.

Only Ianto's coffee could catch and uncatchable worm heh heh

great story.

[bk_forever]

It certainly enticed the worm, but I don't think Ianto plans to catch it. It's done no harm in over 100 years, so he'll let it have its freedom. it might slowly become tamer though.

Thank you!

Oh dear...another pet? This is the power of Ianto's coffee!

[bk_forever]

Nothing can resist the temptation.

I don't think it will really become a pet, it likes its freedom. It'll just pop up when it wants coffee.

Thank you.

Jack will love this!!!!

[bk_forever]

He'll be thrilled - if wormy lingers long enough for him to see it, which is by no means guaranteed.

Thank you.

ROFL! The thought of the ancient, lurking worm was making me a little nervous, until I got to the last paragraph. Any worm that enjoys Ianto's coffee can't be that bad! :D

Adorable!

[bk_forever]

In over 100 years, it's never caused any harm or problems, so it's mostly been left to its own devices with agents just trying their luck from time to time. Ianto has no intention of capturing it, but befriending it is another matter.

Thank you.

They should use Ianto's coffee as bait for all the aliens! ;D

[bk_forever]

Trouble is, they'd all want to stay then!

Thank you.
