Warnings/Spoilers: None
Summary: Weevil hunting in the Cardiff rain.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters. Not even the weevil.
The weevil was strong; Jack could barely hold it away from his throat.
Ianto kept back, trying for a clear shot, but darkness and pounding rain obscured his vision. It would be too easy to hit Jack, or the injured and terrified woman behind him. The combatants kept staggering one way then the other, finally hitting the railing and toppling slowly into the bay.
Ianto ran to the railing and looked down. For a moment there was nothing, then Jack surfaced, spluttering.
“You okay?”
“It was sink or swim – it sank and I swam,” Jack grinned.
Ianto rolled his eyes.
The End

Date: 2012-10-09 07:54 pm (UTC)I wrote the whole thing around Jack's corny line, it was the first thing I thought of (which just proves I'm as corny as Jack). It fitted him. I wasn't sure whether to make it some other kind of alien, but I figured I'd stick with the weevil then I wouldn't need to describe it. Everyone who reads Torchwood fic should know what a weevil looks like by now!

Yep, Ianto has to do clean-up. Actually, he might just send Jack back in to find the weevil - after all, he's already wet! "Here, take this end of the rope, tie it to the weevil when you find it, then come back here and help me pull it out of the bay." Lol!
