Summary: Gwen is worried she might be a little rusty. A double drabble.

Jack hooted with laughter, smile spread across his face as he loped by on the back of one of the giant aliens as it careened down St Mary Street.

‘Show off, isn't he?’ Ianto said, sidling up beside her. He had his gun out but appeared otherwise unruffled having just outrun a second alien that might have trampled him if he hadn't been quick enough.

‘Good to see nothing has changed,’ Gwen observed, ducking in tandem with Ianto as something -an uprooted power pole- flew by their heads, nearly decapitating them.

‘Oh, nothing at all.’ He gave her a tiny smirk. ‘We have missed you though. Adventures with Jack are… well, I think you can see.’

Gwen smiled back. She could well imagine Ianto occasionally needing someone who wasn't Jack, lending some balance to the insanity of working for Torchwood. ‘I'll admit, after six months maternity leave, this all feels a little strange.’ She loosed two shots,  hitting their mark right between the eyes, felling the alien like big game. It rolled from its own inertia, coming to a stop just three feet in front of her.

‘See? Like falling off a log,’ Ianto replied, stepping back out into fray.
