This was lovely! I totally enjoy Mica getting in the action, and this was great. I especially like how well you connect everything - I can fully believe that she's a fourteen year old girl, and at the same time, that she's totally Torchwood. Fantastic!

Thank you. :D I am picturing her as Lois's sidekick for a while, the junior detective ala Sarah Jane's kids. Could be an adventure!

Yep, I am totally behind this! :D

They are destined for adventure and excitement. :)

Oh, hey, you done done it now writer!! I love this little girl, loved her from the first time Ianto mentioned her becos there was such pride in him, real quiet, but strong. She'd be like Ianto, that definite twist of how to best approach a question that interests her, that bright mind just working overtime while she put all the pieces of the puzzle in order, but quiet, not to draw attention to herself.

"Lois looks old in the eyes like that man, the one who came to the door once and Mam told him in her iron voice to leave and not come back." This is fab--description of Lois is spot on, looking like how Jack looked, eyes like and then "iron voice" hot damn--Ianto's sis had the family gift as well, that steel spine, like Petty says "stand me up at the gates of Hell and I won't back down". Loved the heckydo out of this line--don't fornicate with the Jones' family,
their family is not trifling!

Aw, thanks! You always say the nicest things. :D I thought it would be interesting to see how two sides of the personality we did know (Ianto) might manifest themselves in the next generation, with the little we saw of Rhi and Johnny right there too.

This is awesome! I absolutely love this glimpse of Mica and her potential. And I adore the idea of Lois and Mica teaming up.

Thanks! :D I think they could be a very interesting team.

:D I'm glad you liked it! It was kinda late in the game to ask if you minded combining the prompts, so yay for that being okay!
