Summary: Myfanwy is going stir crazy inside the hub but tonight is her night for freedom. A double drabble.

'Weather forecast is looking good,' Jack said, gazing up from his computer with a smile. 'Clear night, no cloud and no rain.'

'Thank God,' Ianto replied. 'I don't know which of us is going more mad, me or Myfanwy. She's been a right grumpy thing stuck inside for so long. She's tearing up the hub just for something to do.'

'Well, tonight she's finally going to get a chance to spread those wings and take to the air.'

It was almost as if she could have understood Jack's weather forecast. She was waiting at the end of the tunnel where the small hatch had been locked shut for over a week. Low cloud was dangerous to fly in. Flying below it put her too close to the ground and the eyes of Cardiff residents. She squawked with joy when Ianto came and released the hatch, bustling past him to get outside.

'I'll meet you up there in a bit,' he replied.

Jack joined him, taking the invisible lift up to the surface. 'Now isn't that a wonderful sight?'

Ianto frowned. 'A pity the moon is out,' he observed, watching a pterodactyl-shaped shadow cross by it.

'Can't have everything,' Jack replied.

Now that would be a sight to see, Pteranodon silhouetted against the moon.
