The Torchwood Drabble Files by badly_knitted
Summary: A collection of drabbles, mostly based on the weekly prompts at tw100. Mostly Jack/Ianto as that's what I write, but no doubt other Torchwood characters will pop in from time to time. All genres are possible, but expect mainly humour and fluff, because that's usually what comes out when I write. All are 100 words exactly in Word, but apparently not here!

Chapter 192: Illusive Alien
Author's Notes: My sixth drabble for Challenge 300 at tw100. I've completed the challenge by writing all nine drabbles, and I've just started trying to write another nine, 'cause I'm a glutton for punishment, lol!
Summary: Some aliens prove harder to catch than others.
Torchwood had been chasing an alien through Cardiff’s streets for what felt like half the night, and probably was. It had eluded them numerous times, despite Tosh directing them via CCTV.
That was probably due to it constantly changing shape so they never knew what they were looking for, Ianto reflected.
He and Owen finally cornered it by the lake in Bute Park, quickly netting it before it could escape again.
“How did you know that one was the alien shape-shifter?” Owen demanded.
Ianto gave him a withering look.
“Is your eyesight that bad? Swans don’t usually have three legs.”
