Summary: Jack's return to the team leaves a lot up in the air. A double drabble.


Tosh was loitering by the door to the car park when Ianto arrived, pulling the slick red sports car into a space two down from the SUV. 'Nice wheels,' she said.

'A pity they're not mine,' he replied, locking the car with the key fob. 'Back to its real owner in the morning.'

'No chance of a joyride then?'

'Sorry. The boss might not like it.'

Tosh tried to read his expression but it was inscrutable. 'Yeah, about that…'

Ianto rolled his eyes. 'Just like Jack, isn't it? Not seen for months then bursts in during a tense hostage situation right when you're about to put a bullet between the eyes of some deadly alien and steals the limelight.' She detected a slight bitterness in his tone.

'You had it under control,' she assured him, sensing his need for someone to say it.

'You think so? Because I don't. I think that girl was going to end up dead because I couldn't pull the trigger.' He held up a hand to silence her. 'No, really. If he hadn't turned up when he did…'

Tosh laid a reassuring hand on his arm. 'Forget Jack. I know you would have done it.'
