Summary: Jack has his suspicions about his two quietest employees. A double drabble.

Jack can't help but smirk as he spots Tosh and Ianto hunched around Tosh's workstation, deep in conversation, occasionally pointing at the screen. So, not talking about him, he decides, mildly disappointed.

There was something about those two, Jack thought - the way they were often caught in close discussions about something. There was an unlikely relationship blooming between them. Not that he was concerned about any sort of romantic interlude. Judging by the expressions on their faces, it was far too intense for that. This was more like plotting to take over the world.

'What are you two up to?'

Tosh gives some complicated explanation to which Ianto agrees, adding his own opinions on the likely effectiveness on whatever it was Tosh just attempted to explain. It worries Jack when even he can no longer understand what either of them are talking about.

'Just don't be here all night,' Jack warns them, knowing they already spend far too many late nights here as it is.

We won't, they both promise, giving him an earnest look before turning back to Tosh's screens and picking up where they left off before Jack interrupted.

Definitely plotting to take over the world, Jack decides.

I wish they would, they'd do a better job of running it!
