Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: Owen is not happy about being the victim of a mishap with alien tech.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: Double drabble.
The next person to ‘teasingly’ call him Bigfoot, Owen decides, is going to receive a totally unnecessary complete medical, including a… No, that would just be punishing himself; some medical procedures are as unpleasant for the doctor as they are for the patient, but he’ll think of something to register his displeasure. It’s not like this is HIS fault, but he’s the one suffering for it, in more than the obvious manner.
Maybe Ianto is right, and the team shouldn’t mess around with unidentified alien devices, or if they do, they should make sure that if something reacts, it only affects the one who’s messing about, which in this case, was NOT Owen.
It’s so unfair that Gwen was the one fiddling but Owen is the one paying the price for her inability to keep her hands to herself for five minutes. Sure, she claims she thought it was a puzzle someone had brought in, she didn’t realise it was alien, but… Hello, Torchwood! Practically everything that passes through the main Hub is something alien delivered via the Rift. She should have at least asked before fiddling.
Thanks to her, Owen’s feet are now size seventeen. He can hardly walk!
The End
