Torchwood drabble! Back to the Owen in the recent past 'verse. No spoilers for Torchwood. Kind of obtuse spoilers for the final three-ep arc of Doctor Who's series three.



There's something Owen isn't saying.

That's fine by Jack. He hardly expects every detail from Owen about that trip into the past. He'll get most of it from Ianto eventually, anyway. But this one isn't about disclosure. This is something Owen needs to let go.

Jack dredges up old Time Agent training, time travel and temporal anomalies, and there. He knows what it is.

Oh god, Owen.

He looks into Owen's eyes and says,

"Toclafane."

Owen goes very still, and Jack finds too late that he doesn't want to hear it.

And you say to yourself, "I'm just going to relax and enjoy and not worry about it," but before you know it you're obsessing over everything from caloric content to the fact that the money would have been better spent elsewhere.

. . . I think I kind of killed the metaphor somewhere in there, but you know what I mean.
