Summary: Owen meets 'Dave' the Bearded Dragon

"What the fuck is that?"

The unmistakable voice of Owen Harper echoed around the surprisingly quiet hub, sending the pterodactyl into flight, screeching as she swooped around at an alarming pace. Tosh jumped, successfully knocking her computer mouse off of the pad and onto the floor. Gwen glared, the battery and back of her phone scattered around her feet. Jack had spun around abruptly, successfully knocking 'Brad' the pot plant Gwen had bought him onto the floor, petals fluttering off and pink flower decorated pot smashed into tiny pieces.

The only person who seemed not even remotely shocked at the alarming sound was Ianto. He stood leaning against the railings with a rather smug smirk on his face, his dark navy suit crease free as usual.

"That is a Bearded Dragon... Dave actually. For now anyway. Jack and I found him on a pick up. He's very intelligent. Don't worry he won't-"

"Ouch!"

"Hurt you." Ianto muttered quietly, rolling his eyes. He never normally spoke to soon with aliens or animals they had brought in before. It seems the Bearded Dragon took a dislike to Owen already. Dave had nipped him, a loud hissing coming from the small animal, its impressive mane spiking up.

Owen stalked away, down to the med bay, to tend to his "wound" if you could even call it such a thing. Ianto sighed, Gwen and Tosh giggled quietly, eyeing Dave as he sat happily, the top half of his body draped over Owen's computer mouse, eyes closed and resting.

Ianto scooped the little bugger up in his hand, watching as its tale wrapped around his wrist, legs hanging over his hand in head on his fingertips. Ianto smiled, using his index finger on his left hand, he petted the dragon on the head as it slept content in his palm. He chuckled, turning on his heal and wondered over to Owen.

The man in question was stood at the head of the autopsy table his back towards the rail around the entrance to the bay. Ianto wandered down the stairs, Dave behind his back hidden away.

"I am sure you'll be alright, it's just a nip... you wont die!" Ianto commented, biting his lip to hide his grin, as he looped his arm round Owen, scooting Dave onto his team mates shoulder, before leaving, slipping into Jack's office, allowing his grin to show. Jack raised a questioning eyebrow, Ianto chuckling as he slipped to sit on Jack's desk.

"Just give it a minute." Ianto said, leaning down to kiss Jack when this came along, causing the two to stop abruptly, noses touching.

"IANTO GET THIS STUPID LIZZARD AWAY FROM ME!"

"When will he learn that Dave has a specific name for his species."

Jack smiled, resuming their current line of action before whispering against Ianto's lips ,

"Never... so I'd stop trying."

Soon Tosh appeared clearly fed up with Owen' screaming. Ianto and Jack were sat chatting away about other names to call Dave. It was somewhat unsuccessful. Ianto smiled at her as Tosh asked,

"Should we help him? He seems quite distressed."

Ianto shook his head, Jack answering the question.

"No Owen deserves it! He should respect the animals and aliens-"

"I didn't mean Owen..." She brought up the current scene which Jack and Owen were blatantly ignoring. Ianto rolled his eyes as poor Dave hung tightly onto Owen's grey sweater.

Owen should tone his screaming down... he's scaring the Bearded Dragon.
