Author: m_findlow
Characters: Ianto, Gwen, Jack
Rating: PG
Challenge: 576 - Naked at tw100
Notes: The team are back together but not all there just yet. A double drabble.

Gwen slumped onto the sofa between the two men, each of them silent and sullen at their new circumstances. Everything that had happened in the last twenty four hours had battered their confidence, but nothing had taken more of a beating than Jack's ego. Not in the narcissistic way, but simply that he felt powerless.

They were safe for now, hidden in the old Torchwood One warehouse just on the southern side of the Thames. They needed supplies if they were going to make a go of things, and new computing equipment was vital. But not only that, they'd need basics too: food, drinking water, toilet paper and cigarette lighters so that Rhys didn't have to employ any more of his dubious boy scout skills.

Moreover though, they needed clean clothes, and jeans and a t-shirt just weren't going to cut it. Their illustrious leader was a shadow of his former self without his standard army surplus uniform. Anyone else would feel uncomfortable being naked, but for Jack, wearing ordinary streets clothes had the same effect. Without it, he just wasn't their captain. Ianto knew his mission and he wouldn't stop until he'd properly resurrected their leader from the dead.

And Ianto succeeded, dressing Jack as he should be dressed. He didn't get enough credit.
