torchwood100Summary: Ianto has got himself a protégé. A double drabble.
Jack finds it strange watching his husband show someone new the ropes. Jack has done it dozens of times, always enjoying the way that they're in awe of him and what he does. Ianto isn’t like that though. He’s still the same quiet individual Jack loves and depends on, but now he’s taking someone under his wing to take charge of the archives and their research capabilities.
Penny Adams isn’t the kind of person Jack would have picked, but then again, he hadn’t been in the mode to recruit. Torchwood so very often didn’t find people as much as people seemed to find it. Penny was never going to be another Ianto – not that Jack believed you could even begin to replicate him.
She was never going to be comfortable with guns and throwing herself headlong into danger, but as Ianto had put it, there was just something about her that sent his senses tingling. When you knew, you knew, and far be it for Jack to question that gut feeling. Torchwood needed people and people needed Torchwood. Even their legendary king of the archives needed a protégé and who knew better the exact kind of person the job needed.
