Summary: Ianto can't figure out why he's here with the team on assignment. A double drabble.
Why am I even here? Ianto wanted to ask out loud as he sat there, squashed in the back of the SUV between Owen and Tosh, just a few feet from being thrown headlong through the front windshield should Jack decide to suddenly brake.
Perhaps Jack was just trying to be more inclusive, making sure he joined them on their jaunt out to the countryside, or perhaps he didn't trust Ianto to be left by himself at the hub. Not with his history.
Still, apart from having packed everything a top secret organisation might need for camping out in the beacons, he felt like a third wheel. Cooking, cleaning, making coffee and pitching tents. Was that all Jack thought he was good for? It didn't seem fair. He had other skills. At least he didn't grizzle about the outdoors like Owen, and he was sure he was more accustomed to roughing it than Tosh or Gwen.
As for finding people gone missing, well, he was already working one case on that front - multiple people gone missing, actually - not that anyone knew about it.
Perhaps he might prove to them that there really was more to him than just making coffee.
