Speaking in Tongues
by Laura
A girl, that’s who the Rift’s given them, today. A burnt, crying girl, but a girl, nonetheless. Just the thing for his first case, Owen decides, fixing her enough to return to the Hub and finish the job properly.
Because he certainly couldn’t have coped with aliens.
She’s talking. Sounds like Latin, but… “Tosh! Translation program,” he says, tapping his earpiece. “This girl’s speaking Latin, but I haven’t got a bloody clue what she’s saying!”
“I have, Owen,” Jack says, grinning away, in the forest clearing. “Taught myself that version, a long time ago, so I could seduce Roman soldiers.”
