Unconventional Tourist
"Shit! They're everywhere." Jack looked around Motorpoint Arena and saw alien after alien. "The rift monitor did not pick up this much activity."
"Uh, Jack? This is Comic Con, they're mostly just people in costume."
"How do we find our alien then?" Jack's eyes fell upon a man in a Superman costume with a very fitted codpiece.
Ianto rolled his eyes at his lover whose attention span was nonexistent.
"Can I get you one of those to wear?" Jack was almost salivating.
"No." Ianto said flatly. "Let's get back to doing what we came here for."
"Yeah, right. Aliens," said Jack looking around. "Any idea where it went?"
"Nope," Ianto replied before reaching up to toggle his bluetooth. "Tosh?
"I have one non-human life form on Level Two. There is a Red Dwarf talk scheduled to begin there in five minutes." Tosh replied.
With a location now confirmed Ianto and Jack took off, but an all too familiar robotic voice made Jack stop dead in his tracks.
"Shit Ianto there's a Dalek in here! Get everyone out!"
"Relax Jack, I don't know about you but I've never heard a real Dalek say 'excuse me'."
"That's not a real Dalek?" Jack asked confused. "Why would anyone dress up as a Dalek?"
"The government passed them off as mass hysteria. I guess that person thought it was fair game for a sci-fi convention. It is quite realistic, must have taken them hours."
"Yeah," Jack shuddered. "Anyway, there's the stairs. Level two was it?"
"At least the Dalek can't follow us upstairs," Ianto dead panned.
"Ok Tosh, where is he?" Jack asked as they entered the room the talk was being held in.
"Near the front, left hand side. By the fire exit."
"Thanks, I think I see him."
"Is that him there?" Ianto asked, pointing to an alien figure on his own, but hovering around the edges of a large group of costumed people.
"I think so. He looks harmless enough, but I'm going to go and talk to him. My galactic standard is a little rusty but we should be able to find out what he wants."
Ianto readied his hand on his gun holster, just in case as he and Jack approached the creature.
"Come with us," Jack said in a low tone, trying not to draw too much attention.
"Are you part of the welcoming committee?"
"Welcoming committee?" Ianto asked, trying to hide his confusion.
"I'm supposed to be meeting some people, but I got lost. Is this the place you humans call Las Vegas?" The alien asked. "I saw other non-humanoids heading this way so I followed them."
"Yeah sorry, but those people you followed were just humans. We haven't officially made contact with other planets yet." Jack explained. "What were you going to Vegas for anyway? You are a little far off..."
"Why else would one go to Vegas? The gambling, the drinks and all the sex you can eat."
"Come with us and we'll get you where you are supposed to be." Jack took the alien by the arm. He'd have to ask Ianto later about some all you could eat sex.
"Is everything alright?" Tosh asked over the comms. "You haven't checked in."
"It's fine, Tosh. Just a lost tourist who mistook Cardiff for Las Vegas."
