Title: Fledglings – Sequel to ‘Mummy Ianto’
Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Ianto, Team, OCs.

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 347: Silver at tw100

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: The babies are growing.

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

The creatures had voracious appetites and grew fast. In a week, they’d doubled in size, three-inches long, stalking mealworms as they learned to hunt. They resembled miniature dragons, with iridescent silver scales and delicate wings.

Three weeks and they’d doubled in size again; mealworms were still devoured eagerly but weren’t sufficient challenge for the little hunters. Ianto bought crickets and locusts, watching proudly as the fledglings learned teamwork in order to catch their prey.

The human team adjusted to being used as convenient perches to launch hunts from, and took to checking each other for hitchhikers before leaving the Hub.

Um, how big are they going to get? If they outgrow Torchwood, it's going to be hard to explain 37 silver dragons flying around Cardiff...

Wow the fledglings sound beautiful.

great drabble.

They are, everyone thinks so, even Owen, though he'll never admit it!

Thank you!

Don't worry, they're not going to get too big, they grow fast because they come from a hostile environment and need to be able to take care of themselves pretty quickly. On the world they come from, probably less than a quarter of them would even survive their first week, but in Torchwood they're protected so they all made it.

Thank you!

awwwww he is a good "mummy"!

[bk_forever]

He's very dedicated. He may not have asked for the role, but he takes it seriously!

Thank you!
