fracturedrp | Out for a Weevil Hunt

Wouldn't hurt to get out and do a bit of hunting. He hasn't even attempted to hunt at all since...Well it's been nearly two years by now. "Warehouse by the river." The captain repeats and puts the SUV in gear and accelerating away from the curb. He can be quick, but without drawing too much attention to themselves. Until he gives the government his final say as to whether he wants to lead Tochwood again he's just a normal citizen. Well as normal of one as he can be.

Ianto looks at this Jack, and then the monitor there's lots of activity as if he almost wonders if there's more than just Weevils out here. "Who's been tending to things here? UNIT?" He asks this Jack with a ping of sadness.

If he could only read Jack's mind he wouldn't mind if this Jack simply wanted to be a normal citizen anywhere. "The monitor is making quite a bit of noise. It might be more than just a Weevil. What if?" Ianto almost wonders or is scared to think it's activity from the Rift that will eventually lead to home. "No, no more what if's..."

"UNIT's suppose to be, but I don't know if they really are or not." He shrugs, "Don't really pay much attention." He takes a turn a bit too quickly and winces hoping that he isn't drawing too much attention to himself.

Glancing over at Ianto and the monitor he lifts an eyebrow. "Is that because of all tears? The last time I saw it that active was...When Gray came." Jack weaves around a couple of slow moving cars and takes a quick left. "Should be coming up on location one in just another minute."

Ianto didn't expect Jack to pay attention to these things when he didn't have too, he's sure his own Jack would rather focus on something else these days. "It'll still be good fun even if we do get in trouble for it." He finds a bit of strange humor in it. "Who knows maybe we'll be cellmates..."

The activity on the monitor is something he's seen in his own universe with the fractured rifts opening and closing. "It could be a way home, but we'd never know." The energy readings are big and it may not be a Weevil. "Oh, lots of tears and you're right this does match up with spikes from when Gray came. It's also too familiar in recent terms.."

The two will see a big ripple of color in the sky, one visible crack in the very fabric of time and space itself. It's big enough for the pair to drive the SUV through it if they desired.

"Cellmates.." The Captain chucklesnorts. "That /really would/ be something." He continues heading toward their original destination weaving past slower moving cars and speeding but nothing terrible. Not like he used to drive. Suddenly he stops the SUV in the middle of the street almost causing the car behind him to read end the vehicle. "Oh..shit.." He breathes staring straight ahead. "I think that's a bit big for a Weevil."

Ianto's observations about Jack's less than wreckless driving skills are noted. There's a cat-like smile on Ianto's face at the prison joke, he holds his hands up. "We'll have to get Love and Hate tattooed on your knuckles."

Then comes the slamming of the breaks with Ianto holding his hand out to catch the dash. "Yes it is. We don't know where it leads to either." The dangers of Rift travel is one never knows where these things will lead. He takes in a deep breath. "It could be something bigger than a Weevil or the Rift has something else in mind."

Ianto's eyes fall on the old Rift monitor and once again he stares at the widening crack. This he's seen before where they could see what's coming for them if it opens up wide enough.

Jack completely misses the last comment he's far to busy staring out the windshield at the expansive gap. "I think the fact that the Rift could have something else in mind is the most frightening part."

He glances at the monitor the back out the window. "Well. We really aren't prepared for anything much bigger than a Weevil..." Jack trails off. "How many others are there?" This is big. The entire situation is bigger than him and with out the proper equipment. They good very well be facing some serious trouble. The immortal grins. "This could be /really/ fun."

Stepping out of the gap is a big large scaly foot, it's elephant shaped and soon a big old head on a long neck follows it. It's one big dinosaur. Ianto stares at the prehistoric elephant that seems equally confused about its surrounding. "We didn't salvage any giant dinosaur nets from the HUB did we?"

He read of reports from Toshiko from her travels with Jack's Doctor about a world where these guys still existed. "It's Veggiesaur so that's a plus on it won't eat us."

Now this will be loads of fun.

"Nooo..Wow. Umm..Shit. I think I have those big tranqs in the back, but this is going to be almost like catching Myfanwy again." Jack grins and glances from the window to the Welshman. "You distract I stab it with a giant syringe full of sedative? We really should think of another 'date' Dinosaur catching is so cliche" He states with some amusement as he puts the SUV in park and throws open his door. Approaching the rear of the vehicle he opens the back hatch and lifts the floor panels to reveal his hidden compartments containing a various arsenal of weapons. Tranq guns, tasers, Weevil spray amongst others. He pulls out the big needle and gets it ready.

Ianto just stares at the dinosaur of the four legged variety it's not huge so it might be young. It's still big enough to get a small smile from Ianto. "I'm not sure we have anywhere to put'em. We might want to try to get him back before the crack closes."

The apatosaurus is a baby by size standards the bus sized dinosaur isn't going to stay still and it begins to plod down the street to much on yummy plants.

Ianto looks to see where Jack went to, of course he went to go something to stop their new friend. He follows Jack out of the SUV to go help him with this guy. "I'm not sure he'd be interested in chocolate either."

The dinosaur is now stripping the hell out of a tree and a bunch of plants on the side of a road.

It's sort of cute. Too bad the HUB is gone..Although..once it's fully grow not even the at would be big enough. "Great idea. See? You always have the best ideas. We'll sedate it and send it back. It'll wake up groggy but at home? No." Jack sets down the syringe. "That won't work. If they're a predator there it'll kill it. Let's try to lure it back with some tree?" Seriously? How the fuck do you get a baby dinosaur back through a crack in the universe?

The baby soon isn't alone when it's joined by a much larger version of itself, the rift wavers and ripples. Ianto ums and he begins to pale at the sight of the mother of the creature. "Well that ruled out the being a hungry predator trying to eat it."

This big gal stomps over to see the little one it was following and there's plenty of flattened things including a small compact car or two.

The two will be lucky this one only nommed on one Time Lord. Ianto stares at the two and then Jack. "We're going to need many large trees to get these guys to go back in there."

The mother's curious to the chattering pink things, she lowers her head to get a sniff at the pair. Ianto smells exceptionally tasty and sweet. "Hey.." There's an innocent chuckle from the Welshman. "At least this is --." He's interrupted by a harmless bump by the happy to sniff creature. "Hey, no tasting. Well better than Wee--!!"

When Jack turns around he'll see a pair of struggling legs hanging out from the dinosaur's mouth. The dinosaur seems to have a love for Welshmen in suits to go with those Time Lords.

Oh..well if that isn't just perfect. Jack looks at the larger dinosaur as it steps through the Rift. "Y'Think? Shit.."

He snorts part of him wants to just load the gear back in the SUV and drive away let UNIT handle this. This sort of thing really isn't his job anymore. He lacks the proper equipment. Jack sighs and watches as the larger of the two smashes a couple of cars making a beeline for them.

"...Yeah. We need a better plan." Fuck. Smashed cars. Giant dinosaurs. She better not smash his Range Rover the immortal would be a bit ticked about that. He is somewhat lost in thought, always picking the most inappropriate of times to let his mind wander, and trying to figure out how one might kill a dinosaur of that size with a pistol.

When it approaches and sniffs the Welshman. Jack starts to laugh. The sight is somewhat adorable, but then the creature lifts Ianto off the ground. "Oh Fuck! YAN!"

Don't freeze. Don't freeze. There is a few seconds this Jack, who has already lost one Ianto almost panics and stares stunned while this one is carried away. He kicks himself into gear and picks up the syringe. Hell with it. The problem now is how do you get a the damn dinosaur to let Ianto go without dropping him.

Shitshitshit.

It was kind of funny, it tickled a bit too and Ianto's feet just kick at the air while the dinosaur figures out he's not a nice smelling plant. It's going to be a slimey feeling and a ruined suit.

There's a muffled scream coming from Ianto while the two make a beeline for a park with lots of trees.

There's more rift activity if Jack is checking near the park the three are going to. He's lucky the dinosaur hasn't swallowed Ianto or dropped him. He finally is let go when the dinosaur stops by a pond to get a drink. The drop isn't exactly nice either with Ianto being dropped into the cool pond waters.

There's another large tear in time and space, it could lead to the dinosaur's home universe or it could lead to somewhere else completely.

Shit. He hurries to keep up as the dinosaurs head for the park. Oh /now/ what? More rift activity.../really/? Jack is some what worried about what might come out of this one.

Jack watches as Ianto is dropped into the pond. Thank God it was the pond and not just a straight drop to the ground. The Welshman might be cold and wet now but at least he's going to be alright.

"Ianto! Are you alright?" Jack laughs relieved. "This isn't the time for a swim we have more problems." He calls out teasing. Hopefully, the younger man's sense of humor is still intact.

This Rift seems stable it doesn't send anything out this time, the pair of dinosaurs begin to trudge into it and it'll be a strange day for the citizens of New York.

Ianto's wet and he's cold, the fact the two dinosaurs have left are a good thing but when he turns his head to see there's a ripple effect its home. The home with the people that are looking for him.

He looks up at Jack from the pond in thought. "Yes I know what cold water does. We still have a pair of dinosaurs to deal with." This one crack seems to be growing to reach out to the pair. They may not have a choice if they come or stay.

"Well if need be I can always warm you back up.." Jack winks with a playful smirk. "But, you would be right. Dinosaurs first then we can talk about you taking a break to take a swim in a pond." Jack teases as he looks back at the widening crack. Aside from the fact that they are suffering from a serious lack of proper equipment the immortal is having a good time. Well mostly there was a few moment there the thought he might panic. All over now though. Everything is fine Ianto is back on the ground, slimy dinosaur saliva, pond water and all. And now this damn rift crack seems to be creeping toward them. So much for a simple harmless Weevil hunt. Nothing is ever simply what it should be when Jack Harkness is involved it's a universal fact. "Well...They're leaving, but..That doesn't look like their home. Now what? Follow?"

Ianto's grossed out by the fact he smells of fermented plants and he's covered in dinosaur saliva. He laughs at Jack. "I'm sure you'll find a good way to heat me up."

He sloshes out from the pond to join Jack. He's happy to see the dinosaurs leave but they're going somewhere that's not Cardiff and with an equally large population. Ianto's enjoying this just as much other than the fact he was almost eaten by the big dinosaur.

"I say we follow them," Ianto's sure they're not going to out run the rift that's creeping towards them. Ianto holds out his slimy hand for Jack. "Shall we go running in this time or shall we just wait for the loss of dignity?"

The immortal grins. "Oh, I'm sure I can think of a few ways. One of which will be a nice hot shower. Dinosaur saliva makes for a terrible cologne."

Jack watches through the open crack at the waiting city. Much larger and much more busy than Cardiff. A pair of prehistoric creatures would probably be a bad thing. A very bad thing. There's that nagging coward in him that just wants to let them go, but it's becoming increasingly more apparent that the rift has other plans as it swirls closer to them.

"I say we go running in syringes a blazin' at least that way no one can say we didn't try..." He slips his hand into the other's waiting one and ignores the fact that it's covered in slime. It feels right. Holding his hand. Normal. Comforting and just the way it should be. "You know me," He smirks. "I rarely turn down a chance to play the dashing hero."

"I'd have to look the door, you've got the habits of a peeper," Ianto smiles, it's starting to look a bit less like New York or there's enough simularities there to add for some confusion.

The fracture in time and space might be more than just the Rift in Cardiff acting up. Ianto looks up at Jack. While he may of been mad with his own Jack for a bit he never wanted to see him cower.

"I'll let you become the next victim of a curious dinosaur this time," Ianto laughs, and he would at least like to make that effort to try. He's rediscovered his love for this job. He could never go back to a normal life after this. "You're not the only dashing hero today." He waits for Jack to drag him along through the opening rift. "Let us be dashing in with syringes a blazin' then."

"Boo..That's no fun. Be much more 'heated' if I were to assist. Make sure you didn't miss any." Jack replies with a playful grin. He's feeling /much/ more like himself right now. A little adventure. A little familiar danger seems to be /exactly/ what he needed. Damn Ianto for being right. /Again/. Apparently, this is a trait that even parallel versions of the Welshman must share in common. They always seem to know /exactly/ what the captain needs.

"Oh. I've been there already, Yan. 'Bout time you decided to join the party." Jack winks and tugs the younger man's hand pulling him forward. "What are you standing there for then. Let's go!" Jack glances back at the SUV. Nothing really in the vehicle that's of much use other than what they have already. He strides forward quickening his pace a bit the closer they get to the gap. "I'm perfectly willing to share the spotlight with you. We can be dashing heroes together then. Off we go.."

They close the last few paces between them and the Rift passing from Jack's home to someplace /completely/ unfamiliar to him. "Time to catch some Dinosaurs." He grins and drags the Welshman down the street after the beasts. Who are leaving quite the 'bread crumb' trail of broken cars and damaged property in their wake. "By the look of it we best move quickly. Come along." Jack tugs the hand in his and hurries to catch up with the lumbering giants.

Ianto knows his team is going to be pissed with him. He understands if they will be but he felt there was a need for this. Ianto pursed his lips in a smile. "The shower's big enough for two or a third." Ianto teases and he's sure Jack will enjoy the penthouse apartment he shares with his friend. He knew Jack well and like a well read book.

He takes that leap into the Rift with Jack, it's a rough experience as he doubles over like someone just punched him in the stomach. They don't need any buses or anything. It takes Ianto a moment to register the dinosaurs are happy to munch on the overgrown grass of an empty lot. To make matters worse..Ianto sighs. "We're two hours south of New York." It was easy to mistake the ripple for New York City. The pair find themselves in a North Philadelphia neighborhood with two hungry dinosaurs.

The rift doesn't last long and it closes shut leaving the two far from Cardiff. "Shit." Ianto frowns now they've got two dinosaurs and there's going to be trouble from more than just those two.

"Oh is it now? Hmm.." Jack smiles it's almost uncanny how well the Welshman knows him. That little voice in his head growing mysteriously more quiet by the moment. It's constant whisper of 'Not his' growing fainter and fainter. That in itself almost as troubling as the voice was.

Rift travel is infinitely more rough than travel with his formerly trusty Vortex Manipulator but after the Doctor 'fixed it' it's been nothing more than a glorified universal remote. The trip through the Rift makes Jack's stomach churn, but they don't have time for that. They really must get these creatures under some form of control.

"New York? Really? Oh.." He isn't sure how he feels about that but the as the opening behind them closes he really doesn't have much of a choice. He didn't even tell Gwen he was leaving. She'll be worried sick that he's done something stupid. (Not that suicide is much of an option for him, but she'll worry none the less.) "Shit is quiet the understatement, Yan. We need to figure out what to do. Fist things first, lets get this situation under control then we'll go from there, yeah?"

The trip was brutal and Ianto looks up to Jack briefly while he holds onto his knees. He ignores the fact this place makes his sister's council area look tame. "I don't know how you both do it."

He winces and he chuckles as the younger dinosaur gives him a nudge on the backside. "Not you too." He looks up at Jack and he shakes his head no while he stands himself up. "Nope. We're two hours south of New York." He squints an eye as he catches wind of an old disposed of news paper. "Philadelphia. The trouble with Rift travel is you never know where you'll end up."

He looks back at the dinosaurs, he feels bad that this Jack never told his Gwen he was leaving. Then again he knew many of these Jacks were not exactly stable in staying. "You might want to get the lil'guy first. He's got a thing for my arse."

"Lots of practice." He winks and ignores the unsettled feeling he has. Jack 'Ahhs' "Philadelphia. I can honestly say this is my first time here. Although, this wouldn't be my first choice of areas to visit."

The captain casts a weary glance at the younger of the two dinosaurs. "Hey hey now little one." He says as he approaches it slowly in the most no threatening way he possibly can. "Well can you blame the little thing? It is quite nice." The captain replies to Ianto. "Why don't you let it have a look while I see if it wants to take a little nap?"

He /really/ hopes that putting the younger one down doesn't make the larger one mad or protective. Trampled by rogue dinosaurs isn't a death he /really/ wishes to add to his list. He manages to get close enough to the smaller of thee two to sink the syringe in its leg hopefully giving it a dose large enough to drop it, and small enough it stays alive. Judging these things is a fairly difficult task.

He continues to stare at the ground for a bit. The spent machine gun rounds in the lot don't help his stomach to settle. "This wouldn't be mine either. We're going to have to stay here with these two. Let's try not to get eaten and shot."

The smaller of the dinosaurs is curious about the other two while the mother seems intent on giving the dried up grass a good mowing. It sniffs Ianto again who isn't exactly smelling too hot right now with the smell of dinosaur slobber is a curious item today. "I'd rather not be mounted by our slobbery friend even if it is small."

There's a sigh of relief that the skin of the dinosaur is still thick enough to keep it from feeling the syringe going into it. It starts to wobble a bit along the field. The more troubling thing is mom brought in some curious onlookers from the neighboring homes. "We're going to have problems securing them. It's a bit of a problem we have sometimes with larger creatures like our friends here."

It could turn bad if mom gets angry and the sight of seeing the collapsing child gets a reaction and she goes to charge at the two..
