Spoilers: Cyberwoman.
Summary: Ianto will use any means possible to avoid detection during the Battle of Canary Wharf.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
Unmoving, still as death, motionless, Ianto shut his eyes and prayed to a God he wasn’t sure he believed in anymore. Hell had come to earth, complete with blood and flames and the screaming of souls in torment.
The air stank of smoke and burning flesh, the stench almost choking him and he tried not to breathe as heavy metallic footsteps approached his hiding place. By some miracle, they passed by, the metal monsters apparently unaware that an unconverted, living human lay among the bodies of the slaughtered.
As the robots departed, he finally moved. He had to find Lisa.
The End
Thank you!
great work.
Thank you!
You really captured all that in this drabble...
Jack had very good reasons to hate and distrust Torchwood One.
Thank you!
It's a pretty bleak drabble, but sometimes that just happens.
It wasn't the most cheerful thing to write, but I needed to write it.
This is chilling and very evocative, and I can't come up with an adjective that describes my, um, 'enjoyment', for lack of a better word.
Ianto had only one thing on his mind, getting to Lisa and saving her. He would have done whatever it took to avoid detection and it would have been beyond awful. No wonder he has nightmares.
