Summary: Torchwood has apparently not received a pass mark. A double drabble.

Jack was trying to panic, but already the retcon in his system was making him feel rather more relaxed about the whole thing. It was only the hub shutting down and their memories being wiped by a crazy anachronism that had been a thorn in his side for a century. Torchwood had only received a fail from its risk assessor. No big deal, right?

'What do we do?' Gwen asked, stifling a yawn and sounding more like she was asking if there was anything on television worth watching tonight.

Jack slumped to the floor. 'Nothing. She's overridden all my codes.'

Ianto slumped down next to him. 'I like nothing. Nothing is a good plan.'

'I hate her,' Jack said, with far less conviction than he would have liked.

'I don't have to serve tea anymore,' Ianto added. 'Yippie.'  

'Oh, I don't know,' Gwen mused, leaning on his other side. 'Agnes was okay in a sort of crazy “I might accidentally end the world” sort of way.'

'You want to argue about this now?'

'Why not?' Gwen said. 'We won't remember it anyway.'

'Good point,' Ianto said, snuggling into Jack and falling asleep.

Jack yawned. Damn you, Agnes Havisham,he thought.
