!dropped, day 08, ianto jones, jack harkness, logan, open, the doctor (ten)

WHO: Jack Harkness, Logan, Ianto Jones, OTA
WHAT: ~~Jack's ego~~ the Death-Off
WHERE: clocktower
WHEN: Day 8, noon
RATING: High, knowing the mouths in here.
STATUS: Active

First of all, challenging Logan to something like this was completely out of character for Jack. He tried to avoid death at all costs, knowing just how it felt to be dragged over the coals and brought back to life each time. But knowing that Logan couldn't die (or so the man believed) and Jack's utter frustration with the neanderthal, he couldn't help himself.

Well, that and caffeine withdrawl might have had something to do with it. More than something to do with it. Who'd have thought he'd still be suffering with Ianto around? These damned PTB. Was it too much to ask for to get a decent (by his standards) cupof coffee? Not to mention these damned clones running about. Blatantly asking for sex? Jack shuddered, passing the movement off as shivering from the cold. Worst part was... if it was a complete clone, did it carry the same 'side-effect' he had?

God, what if he was stuck with the imbicile for good?

Consequently, Jack knew this was stupid, but he couldn't back down. Besides, it was the best way to provide some entertainment coupled with the 'least' harmful way to take out his aggressions. If anyone was to deal with the Weevils, it was him. Not some arse with a murder complex who couldn't understand that humans weren't always at the top of the food chain.

Standing in front of the clock tower at five minutes to noon, Jack crossed his arms. And waited.

Adamantium caused Jack to lift an eyebrow as well. He tried to catch the Doctor's eye, wondering what the other man thought of that development. That was one of the last things Jack really wanted to hear -- particularly if it was in that. Jack's eyes fixated on the claw, arching a brow as if to say 'impressive'.

Jack knew the death of his that would beat them all, but it was one of those things he didn't like bringing up. Hell, it was one of those things he had hoped to keep from Ianto for a good long time. He'd never explained why the Daleks spooked him so when they had shown up, why there had been a look of pure panic on his face. But... Jack drew in a breath. If he wanted to win, he would have to divulge all.

"The worst creatures you could imagine. Aliens, though that may be too kind. They're known across the galaxies as the Daleks." Jack's gaze flicked quickly towards the Doctor, ignoring Ianto for the time being. "They say very little, but when they say 'Exterminate', that's it. Game over. And being the last man standing, facing down the entire army of 'em."

Both of Logan's eyebrows went up. "How the hell'd you know?" He wants to know. "But yeah, it's adamantium." He retracts the claw, and listens to Jack's attempt.

It sort of lacks in punch, because 'worst alien you can imagine' is sort of vague, but Logan gets the general gist from the description. "That had to have been nasty." He allows. Then grins. "Tossed through the windshield of a truck, got the shit kicked out of me by a guy that looked like Sasquatch. Got my life force sucked out of me ... twice ... got into a deathmatch with Sasquatch and had to tangle with a guy who could manipulate metal twice. All in the space of a week." He grimaced. "That ... beat my old record for most almost-deaths in the shortest length of time."

Oh God.

Ianto's head lifted and he stared at Jack for a minute or so, before turning back to Logan. "Nasty doesn't begin to cover it. They're .. twisted. Nothing stops them except a high powered laser. Their goal is the destruction of every other species save their own. In the universe." Granted, they did look like giant pepper pots with plungers attached, but they did inspire terror in people who dealt with them. Ianto wrapped his arms round himself and repressed a shudder. He had been panicked himself, when the Daleks had come.
