Summary: Gwen doesn't enjoy being taken out for a spin. A double drabble.
'Look, Gwen! No hands,' Jack cried out, taking them off the space cruiser's control stick and letting the ship careen out of control.
Her scream was worth it as the G-forces made their stomachs do flips. Personally, Jack loved that sensation, like roller-coasters and kamikaze rides. He'd turned the inertial dampeners off on purpose, just for the fun of it. Free falling through space and not feeling every tug on your internal organs was just boring.
'Take the stick, for God's sake!' Gwen yelled, grabbing her harness like her life depended on it.
Jack rolled his eyes, a feat that went completely unnoticed by Gwen as she clamped hers shut, and took control of the ship back, levelling them off just short of the upper atmosphere.
'What the hell were you thinking? We could have died!'
'Not even close, Gwen Cooper,' Jack assured her, setting the controls to bring it back down to Earth.
Ianto was waiting for them on the ground. 'Did you two have fun on your little joyride?'
Gwen pushed past him and vomited on the grass. When she regained her composure she glared at Jack. 'I'm never letting you behind the wheel of anything ever again.'
