Title: Tough sell
Author: m_findlow
Characters: Jack, Martha Jones
Rating: PG
Challenge: 602 - Recruit at tw100
Notes: Jack is going to have to do a lot of arm twisting. A double drabble.

Martha could feel Jack's eyes on her as she slipped her jacket on. 'I know what you're going to say,' she said, getting in ahead of him. 'You've already got a doctor. Owen is going to be just fine.'

'I can always use two good doctors,' Jack replied. 'Or even one good doctor and one great doctor.' He grinned, assaulting her with his charm offensive.

She smiled at his obvious attempt to butter her up. 'Nice try, Jack, but UNIT would crucify you if you started recruiting their people into Torchwood.'

'Come on, Martha. You're wasted on them. Tell me this isn't way more exciting than anything they've got you doing at UNIT.'

'Oh, it's more exciting alright. I just don't know if I can handle that much excitement in my life.' If she'd wanted excitement she could have just stayed with the Doctor.

'Some days it's positively boring,' Jack assured her. 'Ask Ianto. He can find a hundred boring things to do.'

Martha snorted. 'That's you selling it to me?'

'Please?' Jack was down to puppy dog eyes now. 'End of the world survivor's club. We make a great team.'

'You have a great team already,' she reminded him.

They can also use another great team member though. Martha would be happier with Torchwood I'm sure.

I think she's had her fill of adventure but Torchwood will always welcome her back with open arms if she ever changes her mind.
