Summary: Owen can't fathom Ianto's decision making. A double drabble.

Owen tugged at the zipper on the body bag, sealing the girl inside. Poor kid. Never would have thought she'd turn up to work to deliver a few pizzas and end up dead at the hands of a psychotic robot. 'What a fucking mess,' he said, sitting back on his heels.

Tosh paused from her meticulous dismantling of the cyber woman. After what they'd seen in London, she was an expert at breaking them down. Not that it probably mattered. This whole lot would be incinerated to nothing but a pile of ash. Even then Jack probably wouldn't be happy. She gave Owen a sad look, carefully prising away the metal from the remaining flesh.

'How'd he even get it down here without us knowing?' Owen asked. 'How'd he even get it from London to here? Must've been weeks before he got a gig working here. What was doing? Storing her at his flat?'

'I honestly don't know Owen,' Tosh replied, trying to end the conversation.

'He had to know she wasn't really human anymore. That we wouldn't let her live. Suicide trying to bring her in here.'

'Where there's a will, there's a way,' Jack said, appearing from nowhere.
