torchwood100.Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: Sensing Ianto is in trouble, Nosy cleverly conceals its identity and goes to the rescue.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: Triple drabble.
Nosy the Fluff, unsurprisingly, tended to watch the kinds of TV shows and movies its friends enjoyed. Jack and Ianto did make sure it saw more educational things as well, nature documentaries, quiz shows, Sesame Street, and some other programmes designed to help young children understand the world around them, but it mainly watched TV with its friends.
It liked action movies, they were exciting, and because they were Ianto’s favourite movie series, it had a particular passion for James Bond. Sometimes it played at being Fluff, Nosy Fluff, double-o oh, international master spy, able to assume any identity, travel incognito, be unrecognised by those around it. But somehow no matter how careful it was, the team still recognised it, even when it draped itself in a tablecloth, disguising itself as a table, although that might have worked better if it had stayed in one place.
But now Nosy sensed Ianto was in danger, and it couldn’t stay in the Hub when its friend heeded help. What to do? Inspiration struck; it would take on the identity of a black cat. Cats were everywhere, and black ones had green eyes, like Nosy’s.
Changing its fur colour was simple, Nosy could do that as it went, and it knew how to get out of the Hub through the Tourist Office. The garage entrance would have been faster, but that had to be opened using an electronic device, which Nosy didn’t have.
It slithered up the stairs instead of using the lift, and was outside in less than five minutes, its green fur now black as coal. Speeding to the rescue, it slithered across the Plas, through night-dark alleyways, to where a blowfish had Ianto at gunpoint.
Hissing, Nosy reared up, biting the alien’s gun arm.
Nosy the cat saves the day!
The End
