Summary: Jack's puns are poorly timed after a long hard day. A double drabble.

Ianto had reached the end of his tether with Owen's grumbling as they helped their latest alien visitor back to the hub.

It had been a weird day, trying to track down the signal along the M4 motorway, only to arrive just in time to see the alien stroll out in front of a huge truck and get squashed like a pancake.

But it had survived. In fact, it was asking them to help it back on its feet after having ended up on its back. It turned out that squished wasn't fatal, but just a temporary state of reorganising its bone structure. But it had an attitude that rubbed Owen up the wrong way, and Owen had paid out on Ianto in return.

'Just go home,' Ianto told him once they finally had the creature housed and pretty much back to its original shape.

'No argument from me,' Owen replied, exiting quickly.

Jack chose that moment to appear from his own office. 'Good day?'

Ianto gave a shrug. 'Had better. One grumpy medic and one slightly less grumpy alien. It now hates the M4 almost as much as you do.'

Jack smirked. 'Does getting run over make it tired?'
