CHARACTERS: Jack Harkness, Ianto Jones, Todd
LOCATION: Jack and Ianto's room (007)
WARNINGS: Violence
SUMMARY: Todd chooses the wrong victim, thereby pissing off the victim's immortal boyfriend. Oops.


Something was on the loose in the ship, and it was attacking people. It had taken very little time for Jack and Ianto to agree that they couldn't leave this one alone. There were plenty of capable people on the ship, including the Doctor himself, but every little bit helped, and to be frank, their adrenaline was pumping. The long, slow days on the ship had been pleasant in some respects, but neither of them could deny that they longed for weevil hunts in the night and rift alerts that threw them for loops. So they were out their room and half way to the lift before Ianto realized that in their rush, he'd left his communicator.

"Wait a tic," he said to Jack, "I'll just go fetch it." Jogging back around the corner and down the hallway, Ianto reached their doorway and looked down to run his tattoo over the lock. It was for that reason that he didn't see the figure hidden in the nook next door.

Jack's worry had let his guard down, which made him an easier target than he might otherwise have been. His gun, still in its holster, was pretty much useless against the attack, and this creature, whatever he was he was stronger than Jack. And he'd had a leg up on the fight with the element of surprise.

Jack tried to fight him off but he was at the wrong angle, he couldn't get a grip on him, he couldn't tear himself away, and his mind was half on Ianto lying there on the floor and how at least if he got attacked he could keep the attack away from him. Not the most logical line of thought but then again slightly panicked as he was, it was the best Jack could come up with spur of the moment. At least he wouldn't stay dead. Not that this other knew that fact.
