Characters: Gwen, Ianto
Rating: PG
Challenge: 584 - Coat at tw100
Notes: A coat of paint can fix almost anything. A double drabble.

Gwen wiped the back of her arm across her face, tending to the itch on her nose before dropping the roller brush back into its tray on the ground. 'There we are,' she said, taking a step back to admire their handiwork. 'Looks good as new. Better even.'

Ianto tugged off the latex gloves attached to the arms of his coveralls. 'Amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do,' he replied. 'Not to mention a new table, new chairs, new windows...'

The boardroom had been such a mess after the rift machine had blasted it apart that it was a wonder they would ever get the hub back to the way it had been before. Of course, without Jack here, things would never really go back to how they were, but it was a start. They had to start somewhere.

'Suppose we better start tidying up,' Ianto said. The room was still littered with paint trays and rollers, not to mention the plastic sheeting covering the floors.

'I think we bought too much paint,' Gwen replied, her gaze falling on the still unopened cans in the corner.

'Never mind. I'm sure we'll need them next time we destroy something.'

Spare paint is never a bad thing as long as you've got somewhere to store it. I'm sure they've done a good job.
