Characters: Ianto, Kathy Swanson
Rating: PG
Challenge: 622 - Charge at tw100
Notes: A changing of the guard may ease Kathy's headaches. A double drabble.

'You're having me on,' Detective Chief Inspector Kathy Swanson said as she popped the lid off the takeaway coffee cup, taking a sip of the still piping hot contents.

Ianto placidly sat opposite her, sipping his own. 'Would I do that?'

'Really, though. They put you in charge of Torchwood?'

He raised an eyebrow at her. 'Oh, so you can get a promotion but I can't?'

She smiled down into her cappuccino. 'Touché. I just never thought I'd see the day when that pompous Captain of yours would ever give up strutting around this city like he owns it.'

Ianto smirked. 'Careful now, Detective. That's my husband you're talking about. Only I get to describe him as strutting. Or pompous, among other things.'

Kathy leaned back in her large leather swivel chair. 'Well, I have to say I expect this changing of the guard to have a direct and immediate improvement on Torchwood's relationship with the Metropolitan Polic, Jones.'

'Well, perhaps not immediate, but we can definitely work on it. You and me, what do you say?'

Kathy leaned forward with her cup and Ianto clinked his own against it. 'I think this is the start of a beautiful partnership.'

At least Ianto and Kathy can get along, unlike Kathy and Jack.
