Who: Toshiko Sato, Jack Harkness, Ianto Jones
What: a mini Torchwood reunion
Where: outside Valhalla Inn
When: backdated to the day after the monsters retreat
Notes: rated B for extensive backdating and probable backtagging
Warnings: angst?
It's not exactly like the old days in Cardiff, but close enough that when it's all over and the monsters finally begin to retreat, Tosh feels a little at a loss as to what to do with herself. Back at Torchwood, there would have been the period of post-encounter debriefing and recovery, she would have had data to compile or equipment to repair or some alien technology to investigate. They'd have ordered pizza or Chinese and Ianto would have made everyone's coffee exactly how they like it, and Jack would have told them all in whatever way they needed to hear that they'd done well.
Everything is different now, though, and even with Tosh expecting to see the two of them sooner rather than later, there's still a sense of being a single motionless island in the flow of the city around her. So while she waits to hear from Ianto, she does a careful, unobtrusive patrol of the neighborhood surrounding the inn to make sure there really are no new attacks taking place, Integra's shotgun an unfamiliar weight on her shoulder.
