Summary: Jack is unimpressed by their latest rift find. A double drabble.
‘Wonder what it is,’ Tosh mused as Owen held up the glass bottle for inspection.
‘I’ll run some tests on the contents when we get back,’ he replied.
Jack took the bottle from him and uncapped the lid, taking a whiff. He made a disgusted noise and then held the bottle as far away from his face as he could. ‘No need. It’s a pheromone spray. Pee-ew!’
Tosh leaned over and gently wafted a little towards her. ‘It’s not that bad,’ she said. ‘Actually, it’s quite nice.’
Jack frowned in disappointment. ‘There’s just no accounting for taste.’
‘Pheromone spray?’ Owen asked, sounding sceptical. ‘As in, used to attract people?’
‘Yep,’ Jack confirmed. ‘One spray and anyone with the right biological signature will be begging to tear your clothes off. Crude, but effective.’
‘Says the voice of experience,’ Owen teased.
‘Hey, I don’t need some stupid spray. I have natural charm.’
Owen snorted. ‘Yeah, right. And the ladies go wild for it.’
Jack scowled at him. ‘Just take it back to the hub and file it away as a Class Two substance.’ He gave Owen the eye. ‘Don’t even think about testing it out.’
‘Like you’re the only one with charm.’
