Summary: Rhys is never going to get used to Torchwood. A double drabble.
Rhys forgot to stop running as the huge arc of flames wheeled over their heads, illuminating the night sky. 'But that's impossible,' he breathed, unable to tear his eyes away from it.
Gwen grabbed him roughly by that arm. 'For God's sakes, Rhys. If you say that one more time…'
Rhys found her threat pretty idle. Just because she got to see amazing stuff all day, every day, working for Torchwood, didn't mean that the rest of them weren't entitled to be a little bit amazed. Of course, by amazed he meant run for your life before that alien thing catches up with you and burns you to a crisp in its less cunning, and rather more shambling attempts to take over the planet and killing everything else in sight. What did you do with a planet once there was nothing left alive on it, he wondered. Was it like Noah's Ark? Start over with two of everything and go from there?
'Rhys! For God's sake would you move your arse!' Gwen yelled at him, tugging him onwards.
Right. Run now and live to hopefully see another day, deal with all the existential questions regarding the meaning of life later.
