Summary: Owen is learning a lesson the hard way. A double drabble.
Jack frowned as he watched Owen gingerly trying to descend the steps to his autopsy bay. He didn't remember Owen sustaining any injuries. ‘What's wrong with you?’ he asked, intensely curious, even if it was probably just another in a long line of bad dates or nights at the bar. Still, it might be an entertaining story.
‘Like you don't know,’ came the grumbled retort as Owen tugged on his lab coat. ‘It's workplace abuse, that's what it is. I'd report it, but as if you're going to do anything.’
‘Abuse? Who? Or what?’
‘Teaboy.’ Owen spat the word out. ‘Clubbed me in the shin with his vacuum cleaner. Swears he didn't do it on purpose even if he denies it. Bet you anything it's payback for getting mud all over the SUV yesterday.’
Jack suspected that was undoubtedly true. ‘You should watch where you're walking.’
‘I was. Stealthy bastard didn't even make a sound, and then bam. Nearly broke my bloody leg. Didn't sound too sorry about it either.’
‘Don't ever mistake Ianto's silent approach for a lack of danger. In fact, it's when he goes quiet that you should be afraid.’
‘He's always sodding quiet.’
Jack nodded. ‘Precisely.’
