Double Drabble: Another Indignity
Title: Another Indignity
Author: badly_knitted
Characters: Ianto, Owen, Team.
Rating: PG
Written For: Challenge 805: Mouse at tw100.
Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: Poor Ianto. Why do these things always happen to him?
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: Double drabble.
Ianto couldn’t help pouting at the indignity of it all. Why did this kind of thing never seem to happen to the rest of the team? They didn’t even have any dignity to lose, but he supposed at this point, neither did he.
It was bad enough that the latest alien invaders had chosen to abduct him in the first place, threatening to do awful things to him if the entire planet didn’t surrender to them within one planetary rotation.
That was before they’d realised, rather belatedly, that they were trying to invade the wrong planet because a rodent from their own world had got into the ship’s navigational computer and chewed the wiring. He’d been willing to forgive them for the whole incident, because these things happen, and it was an honest mistake. He’d even helped them make their repairs, figuring it would be best for earth if the invaders left, so they could go and bother someone else. What he wasn’t so forgiving about were the aftereffects he was suffering from breathing the aliens’ atmosphere.
Owen practically fell out of his chair. “You sound like a mouse!”
“Shut up!” Ianto squeaked. They were all getting decaf, possibly forever!
The End
