A/N: Episode title = drabble title. It’s just easier that way





It hadn’t taken Ianto long to realise the best way of keeping Lisa hidden was to make himself invisible.


Never one to draw attention to himself, he quickly learned to blend into the background, being indispensable while going about his tasks unnoticed.


It was simple. Most of the team barely noticed him as long as whatever they needed appeared when, or better yet, before they needed it.


Jack’s attention, however, proved impossible to avoid; different tactics were required.


So Ianto encouraged him, flirting, leading him on, diverting his attention.


Sometimes, he mused, the art of concealment is all about misdirection.
