Title: Cleanup - Sequel to ‘Victory’

Author: badly_knitted     

Characters: Ianto, Team, mentions Jack

Rating: PG

Written For: Challenge 302 - Thaw at tw100

Spoilers: None.

Summary: The battle is over, all that’s left is to clean up the scene.

Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.

A/N: I've decided to post the last two at the same time, so the link at the end leads to the final part.

Cleanup is a subdued affair. Death should never be taken lightly, not even when it’s meted out in defence of the planet.

The invaders’ remains will have to be burned. Creatures with an affinity for ice are not something Torchwood wants in their cryo freezers. They’re almost certainly dead, but it’s still a chance none of the team are willing to take.

Besides, there’s not all that much left anyway. Ice melts, and beneath that protective covering they were smaller than they’d appeared. Ianto might have felt sorry for them, had he not seen how much they’d enjoyed Jack’s suffering.
