Characters: Jack, Ianto
Rating: PG
Challenge: 515 - Strip/Stripe at tw100
Notes: Ianto finds the state of the hub's cells lacking. A double drabble.

Jack brought Ianto down to the cells, almost having finished his grand tour of the hub. So far he hadn't impressed the young man quite as much as he'd hoped. Still, he was coming down off wrangling a pterodactyl. That took some outdoing.

'And this is where we keep some of our less desirables. Temporary and long term,' Jack announced. He walked over to the cell door, nodding his head towards the occupant. 'I believe you two have met?'

Ianto gazed at the weevil. It was much more sullen now than when he'd been going at it with a stick a few nights ago.

'Janet, meet Ianto. Ianto, meet Janet. Owen wanted one to study, so I figured she made a good candidate. Females are less aggressive.'

'And you're sure it's safe to keep it here? I mean, there's nothing between us and the weevil except for this little strip of perspex.' He felt sure that if it wanted to, it could break that down in a heartbeat.

'It looks flimsy, I'll grant you that,' Jack replied, poking a finger through the hole and tugging on it, 'but it's enhanced by a little something alien. Nothing's getting out of there.'

Torchwood doesn't take chances with dangerous creatures.

Ianto will come to be immensely grateful for that in the months ahead.
