Summary: Weapons training can only protect the team so much. A double drabble.
It was hard not to chuckle as Gwen jerked backwards into Jack's waiting arms. He'd known that it was coming, prepared to catch Gwen as the recoil on the gun sent her in the opposite direction to the bullet. At least she managed to clip the side of the cardboard cut out, taking off the weevil’s ear; noting that normally that would just piss it off, but you had to start somewhere.
‘That one packs quite a punch,’ Jack said, not quite ready to let go as she remained cradled in his arms. He did love showing off, and Gwen was only too happy to let Jack charm her, even if his idea of charm was firing a bunch of guns. It did have a point, but that didn't mean Jack couldn't also enjoy it. Weapons training was always fun, no matter who he was training, even if it’s real purpose was to save their lives
‘You could’ve warned me,’ Gwen said, though not sounding at all angry. He got the feeling she was enjoying the closeness as well.
‘Now you know,’ Jack said.
‘And will you always be there to catch me?’
‘As much as is possible,’ he promised.
