My Darling Irish Girl - Ianto Jones

"Nostrovites are shape shifters and they hunt in pairs. They could be anyone" Jack said,
"Well that's helpful, not"
"Um – bat?" Ianto said
"Oh right, I'm gonna find the Nostrovites and do their knees in with my bat" I chirped happily,
"Saoirse you're scaring Ianto" Jack said
"Sorry love, well I'm away back here. Keep an eye on the bride that sort of thing. Plus I have t-shirts to pick up tonight and a lot of drink to consume"
"I need your number" Ianto said before I walked off,
"You're being very forward lovely"
"We need it to keep in touch encase the Nostrovites attack" Jack said being professional,
"Fine" I flipped out my phone and gave Ianto my number; "well back into the fray" I adjusted my bra under my top and walked back down the street with my bat over my shoulder, "Daddy? Ma" I called,
"You're home early" Daddy said coming out of the kitchen,
"Work thing. I got the promotion"
"Congratulations, so what does this mean?"
"More money but the hours are longer and there are less of us but it's still in Cardiff at least"
"Well done anyway for getting it. Was that why you left Siobhan earlier?" I cringed,
"What did she say?"
"That an American by the name of Jack Harkness, a Captain came and pulled you to one side. You two had a chat and then you had to leave her home"
"Yeah that was him telling me I had the promotion. I'm gonna go lie down for an hour okay? Wake me before five 'cause I have to go get the t-shirts"
"Alright baby girl" I trudged up the stairs and flopped down into bed.

After Saoirse left Jack and Ianto met with Owen. Tosh and Gwen had opted to stay behind to monitor rift activity,
"So what did she say?" Owen asked Ianto when they met back at the hotel lobby,
"She brought a bat" Ianto said sitting down next to Owen, "swore a lot and then when we explained about Nostrovites she swore some more then went home"
"Jack how do you know that girl anyway?" Owen asked,
"I worked with UNIT once and she was part of the team I was working with. I reacted the same as you did. She is rather scary"
"Did I hear her right when she said she was in the IRA?" Owen said,
"Yeah she was there for two years. Something to do with her Granda, she'll tell you about it herself if you get to know her better" Jack explained, "for now let's focus on those Nostrovites"
[hr]

"Saoirse love it's time to get up" Daddy said shaking me,
"Mm what time is it?"
"Half four" I stretched some and sat up in bed,
"I need to go get the t-shirts" I got dressed again and went back down the town to get our Hen Night t-shirts.
The front of them looked like a tuxedo and the back had "Siobhan's Hen Night 2006' and a name underneath it.
When I got back from town I stopped in Siobhan's with the t-shirts and my skirt and boots for later since if I left the house in what I was planning to wear out that night Ma would string me up by my toes.
I got back to the house and called in with Jack, no sightings of a nostrovite not that I'd know what one was until it jumped up and bit me like but still, the hen party was given the go ahead so once again I made my way to Siobhan's where her sister and the girls from the office were waiting,
"I love these t-shirts!" Eimear, Siobhan's sister said preening herself in front of a mirror; Eimear was the same age as the twins. She and Siobhan weren't really close but they were family so she had to be a bridesmaid she was a bit put out that I got to be Maid of Honour though,
"Thanks the idea just sort of seemed funny to me, tuxedos for a hen night" I said lacing up my boots,
"Well are we ready to go then?" Siobhan was buzzing with excitement,
"Yup, come on then" I linked arms with Siobhan and we made our way down the town and the first bar.
By the fifth bar I'd forgotten all about the Nostrovites and was thoroughly enjoying myself, until someone screamed,
"OH MY GOD IT'S A MONSTER!"
"Bollox" I took a gun from the holster under my skirt, took aim at the now snarling nostrovite and emptied a clip into it.
Walking over to check it was dead I nudged the body with the tip of my boot, "Siobhan take my phone out of my bag and call 'Ianto' and tell him 'it's here', ok just that it's here, can you do that for me?" I turned to look at a frightened Siobhan,
"O-ok" she took my phone out as I checked the nostrovite a little closer, bad idea it snarled at me again and clawed my face,
"Oh now you've done it" I took my other gun out and emptied it into the Nostrovite, "you better be dead this time"
"The guy said he was on his way" Siobhan said sobbing now out of fear, "what was that thing?"
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you"
"Why do you have two guns? I thought you weren't working for y'know anymore"
"I'm not. I work for an organisation called Torchwood, we hunt down things like that and deal with them" I said putting both guns away, "don't worry alright I won't let anything ruin your big day"
"B-but"
"No buts just trust me alright?" Siobhan nodded, "good girl" Jack, Ianto and Owen came bursting through the doors,
"Nice boots" Jack said when they got across to where I'd gunned down the nostrovite
"Really? I thought they might be a bit trashy"
"Well considering you've probably got a knife hidden in one of them they aren't so much trashy as deadly. Right Ianto" Ianto was trying his best not to look below my shoulders, apparently embarrassed by my short skirt giant boots combo,
"How many bullets did you empty into this thing?" Owen asked me when he looked at the body,
"Two full clips, the damn thing just wouldn't die. And look what it did to my face!"
"Let me have a look at that" Ianto took my face in his hands and examined the wound, "flesh wound but lots of blood"
"Whatever I'll clean it up later, what are we going to do about this? Everyone has just seen me fill a nostrovite full of bullets. Two clips full"
"Retcon" Jack answered, "It's an amnesia pill" he explained in reaction to my confused face, "we can put it in the drinks and everyone will forget what happened"
"They'll just think it was one hell of a night. Sweet" I stood up and smoothed out my skirt, "Ladies and gentlemen can I have your attention please. You have all just been featured in a new motion picture from Sony BMG, in thanks of your cooperation drinks are on us"
"S-so it was a movie?" Siobhan asked
"No it was a government training exercise but I'm not about to tell everyone that, here take this. It'll help your nerves" I said handing Siobhan the pill Jack took out of his coat, "good girl. Now go and have a drink"
"I'll look after you" Jack put his hand on the small of Siobhan's back and led her to the bar.

One drink later and everyone was out for the count on sofa's, seats, the dance floor anywhere really,
"That stuff is strong" I commented sipping my whiskey, "where did you get it? Cause UNIT has nothing like it"
"I made it myself" Jack answered giving me an odd look,
"I'm not about to run back to UNIT 'oh you'll never guess what torchwood has'. Please I have a bit more wit than that"
"You should really get that seen to" Ianto said again about my face, "it might get infected"
"Don't really care; add another scar to my collection. But I suppose I'd better start getting people home" I took out my phone and flipped it up, "there are some people who owe me favours" I walked away from the boys making my phone calls . Minutes later there where several men in tan green jumpers and combat boots with black berets walking through the doors,
"Saoirse O'Neill as I live and breathe" one man said walking up to me, "I thought you'd abandoned us for Wales and the English government"
"Hiya Paddy, nah Siobhan is getting married so I'm home for a week. Anyway can you take some of these one's home? Or to a ditch somewhere I don't really mind, the idea is that they've had one too many"
"Understood. Come on you lot we have our orders let's get to work. Saoirse" he saluted and started the clean-up,
"Who are they?" Jack asked suspiciously
"Friends and we'll leave it at that, come on help me put Siobhan in a taxi. Later eye-candy" I blew Ianto a kiss and put Siobhan, Eimear and the rest of the girls in Taxi's and got them all home safe and sound. Then eventually got round to dealing with the wound on my face, I'd just tell people I got into a fight and the bitch clawed her fake nails across my face it'd work.
The problem was Mummy nostrovite now that her mate was dead she'd be out for blood and Siobhan's would be first and I wasn't about to let that happen.
