Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: Jack is blue. Owen is amused
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
Saving Cardiff from rampaging aliens wasn’t unusual for Torchwood, the Rift saw to that.
It wasn’t even that unusual for aliens to explode unexpectedly – earth conditions were hazardous to the health of many non-terrestrial species, so Torchwood had become adept at getting various kinds of alien gloop off clothing, pavements and people. Sometimes the gloop stained, but Ianto was amazingly good at stain removal. Usually.
Not this time though. Jack was bright blue and apparently there was nothing that could be done.
Owen, of course, found it hilarious.
“Guess you really are a true blue hero,” he sniggered.
“Bite me!”

Poor Jack! Hehe :-)

My brain is stuck in literal mode. Ah well, at least I got something written.
Yep, poor Jack. Ianto is feeling bad because he can't seem to turn Jack the right colour again. He's never failed before and is worried that the blueness might prove catching. Owen is too busy laughing to worry about anything.

Date: 2013-06-12 08:20 pm (UTC)Ianto hates failing at stain removal, I suspect he is becoming obsessed with turning Jack the right colour again. That may not be the best news Jack has ever heard, depending on what Ianto tries next!

Date: 2013-06-13 10:34 am (UTC)The adventures of Ianto, trying to restore Jack's normal colouring... dun dun dun. Maybe Jack will turn different colours as Ianto struggles to find a solution to the problem until quite be accident, they discover something very unlikely that washes the colour right off, like mayonnaise or ketchup, or something equally daft. *giggles*
Thank you!

Date: 2013-06-13 02:45 pm (UTC)Though I don't get the reference - what is a 'true blue hero'?
no subject
Date: 2013-06-13 04:46 pm (UTC)Yeah, poor Ianto, he really wants to get the stain out, he hates failing at any part of his job, but it's Jack who's turned blue which creates even more problems. He doesn't really want to harm Jack, but he doesn't want Jack permanently blue either, so Ianto may be starting to lose his mind a little. I'm sure he'll feel better after a cup of coffee and a rest, and the impulse to scrub Jack with bleach will pass. He's just not thinking very clearly right now, lol!

Date: 2013-07-03 04:42 pm (UTC)Jack wasn't so pleased - neither was Ianto who was torn between worrying that the blue might rub off Jack and onto him, and trying to find something that would turn Jack back to his regular colour. As good as Jack looks in blue, there's a limit!

Date: 2013-07-22 07:30 pm (UTC)Hopefully the blueness isn't contagious. Ianto is working on a way to turn Jack the right colour again.
Thank you.
