Author: badly_knitted
Characters: Jack, Ianto, Gwen.
Rating: PG
Written For: Challenge 838: Sweat at tw100.
Spoilers: The Stolen Earth.
Summary: Earth is under attack from the most dangerous alien race in the entire universe.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: Double drabble.
A shock went through Jack as he heard the metallic voice coming through the speakers, and he broke out in cold sweat. Bad enough that earth had been wrenched from its orbit and transported countless light years, along with a bunch of other planets, but knowing who was responsible made their situation a thousand times worse.
‘Exterminate!’
“No. Oh, no.”
Distantly, filtering through the overwhelming sense of dread that filled him, Jack could hear Gwen demanding answers: “What is it? Who are they? Do you know them?”
He didn’t answer. Right now, he couldn’t; the only thing he could do was pull his two remaining team members close and kiss them, a silent vow that he would do all he could to protect them from the worst threat they’d ever faced.
Gwen might not understand how much danger the planet was in, but Ianto did; Jack could feel his lover trembling, his earlier laughter obliterated by the same icy terror that Jack was feeling. Like Jack, Ianto had seen Daleks before, knew what they were, that they were every bit as bad as Cybermen, maybe worse.
Icy fingers crawled along Jack’s spine. This couldn’t be happening! Where was the Doctor?
The End
