Summary: After a tough day all Jack wants is a little recognition. A double drabble.

As Jack entered the hub, he noticed Ianto trying to repress a grin. On anyone else he might have wanted to slap it right off.

'Another successful day, sir?' he asked, knowing full well it had been one calamity after another. Some days it just didn't pay to get out of bed, and days like today he didn't feel very much like the leader of Torchwood he was.

'I see you found the spare clothes I keep packed in the back of the SUV,' Ianto added, giving him a single up and down look.

'At least tell me I made the news,' Jack replied. His clothes had been an early casualty in what was otherwise a rather thrilling alien pursuit all the way up St Mary Street and the main shopping precinct.

'Afraid not, sir. There was a noodle eating competition in Splott that took centre stage. Honestly, it made for quite horrifying viewing.'

Jack felt stunned. 'You mean no one got to see me running naked and brandishing my weapon, looking all dashing and heroic?' Talk about going from bad to worse.

'Don't worry. I saved a copy of the CCTV before wiping it. We can watch it later.'
