Author: m_findlow
Characters: Owen, Suzie, Tosh
Rating: PG
Challenge: 562 - Common at tw100
Notes: The team are speculating on Torchwood's latest recruit. A double drabble.

'Can someone explain to me Jack's thinking, assuming there was any?' Owen asked, staring out from the boardroom windows as he waited for their illustrious captain to arrive. Jack was nowhere to be seen, but what Owen could see was Ianto mucking around with that stupid pterodactyl.  

'His thinking on what?' Suzie asked, frowning at the question.

'That,' Owen said, pointing. 'What do we need with a kid from Torchwood One? And why does he fuss more over the dinosaur than us? Thought he was here to do stuff for us.'

'I think it's sweet,' Tosh piped up. 'They're both new around here and it can be a pretty strange and daunting place when you don't know anyone. They've got that in common. They could be friends.'

Owen scoffed. 'Turn it up, Tosh. All fun until it bites his hand off. Then who'll be left to sort it out?'

'Maybe Jack's keeping him because of things he knows about Torchwood One,' Suzie mused.

'If he knew anything, Jack would've had him cuffed to a chair until he got answers then retconned the poor bastard back to nappies,' Owen replied. 'All I'm saying is we should keep an eye on him.'

Yes, and didn't the team do a sterling job of that? He kept a cyberwoman in the basement but nobody noticed.
