Fic: Frozen, PG-13, Epilogue (11/11)
Title: Frozen
Pairing: Only what's seen in canon
Rating: PG-13
Summary: The team must discover the cause of the snowstorm burying Cardiff before it becomes a frozen wasteland.
Spoilers: Up to and including "Combat".
Author's Notes: Betaed, as always, by the amazing lon_dubh. This is an experiment for me. I usually write character study-type pieces, but I wanted this to be more like one of the Torchwood novels.
Disclaimer: Don't own any of them. If I did, let's just say that "Exit Wounds" would have ended very differently.

Owen and Jack stood by a snow bank next to their new SUV, watching Gwen consoling the woman sobbing in her arms. She spoke in soft tones so they couldn’t hear the words. After a few more minutes, the woman went back inside and shut the door. Gwen turned and came down the walk. She sniffled and wiped at her eyes and Jack handed her a handkerchief.
“Thanks.” She wiped her eyes and nose, leaning into the arm Owen put around her. “I think she was relieved to finally know what happened to Geraint.”
“You’re a good woman, Gwen Cooper,” Jack told her, dropping a kiss on the top of her head. “This is why we need you.”
“Well, shall we go to the pub? Forget all this?” Owen spoke up, opening the rear SUV door for Gwen. She stared at him. “What? Case closed, thought you’d want to try and put it behind you.” He climbed into the front passenger’s seat. Gwen pulled her door shut.
Jack started the vehicle. “That doesn’t sound like a bad idea, Owen. Call Tosh. Tell her to get Ianto and meet us at the pub, and don’t take no for an answer from either of them. Tell them it’s an order. Team bonding time.” Jack met Gwen’s eyes in the mirror and he winked at her. She smiled back. After all, the planet had been saved, and another alien invasion averted.
Just another day at Torchwood.
