torchwood100Summary: Jack isn't the only one who enjoys the view from up on high. A double drabble.
Gwen craned her neck upwards, trying to follow the clean lines of the blue glass as it stretched all the way up into the sky. ‘It's up there?’ she asked.
‘Like a lizard lounging in the sun,’ Jack replied. ‘Latched onto the glass.’
‘Only there's no sun,’ Ianto remarked.
‘Ianto, can we get access from inside?’
‘All the windows are fixed and sealed. They don't open, unless you plan on cutting a giant hole in one.’
‘Right, so one of us is going to have to scale the side of the building to retrieve it.’
Gwen put her hand up. ‘My wrist is still healing from that convenience store skirmish last week.’
‘And I have an irrational fear of heights,’ Ianto added.
Jack turned and looked at him. ‘Since when?’
‘It, uh… comes and goes.’
Jack groaned and rolled his eyes at his two unwilling accomplices. ‘Fine. Looks like I get to play Spiderman then.’ He began tugging off his coat.
Gwen rolled her eyes as he undressed. ‘Don't tell me you’ve got the lycra suit on underneath that just for such an occasion.’
Jack grinned. ‘What Ianto and I do on a Saturday night is none of your business.’
