Title: Burning down the hub
Author: m_findlow
Characters: Tosh, Jack, Ianto
Rating: PG
Challenge: 624 - Alarm at tw100
Notes: Tosh's breakfast has gone awry. A double drabble.

Tosh could hear the sound of footsteps running up behind her. She spun to find Jack closing in, fire extinguisher in hand and ready to spring into action. 'Where's the fire?'

'Relax!' Tosh said. 'It was a false alarm.'

'Huh? No, I heard it.'

Tosh turned awkwardly around to the pile of blackened ash on the counter top and the file she'd been using to fan away the tendrils of smoke wafting up from the charred remains and into one of the hub's many sensors. So much for thinking she'd managed to stop it before the whole team thought the hub was on fire.

'What's happening?' Ianto asked, coming up behind Jack. 'I heard the fire alarm but I couldn't tell where it was coming from.'

'It was my breakfast,' Tosh replied. 'At least, it was breakfast.' She held up the plate and showed them what was left of it. 'I only turned my back on the toaster for a second, but then it wouldn't pop. It just sparked and then caught fire, but I put it out.'

'Lucky you didn't electrocute yourself,' Ianto said, studying the black and melted toaster.

'Lucky you didn't burn the hub down,' Jack added.

Poor Tosh, no breakfast and now no toaster.
