[Martha, feeling decidedly weird (as anybody would after being shot and brought back to life), is quietly sitting on her cot near the kitchen, going through the medical supplies she has there and making a neat list of what's there and what she needs to get on a yellow legal pad she has resting on her lap.

Because she feels weird, she isn't as cautious as she might normally be, and one of the scalpels slips and slices deep into the pad of her left thumb. She curses under her breath, then notices that the blood oozing from the cut appears to be black. She grabs a gauze pad and presses it to her thumb to stem the bleeding - and so she can run tests on it later.]

[Oh look, it's an Owen! Who... doesn't quite know what to say!]

[Martha gives him an uncertain smile] Owen.

[Wanders over, expression turning into a slight smirk, but his eyes are on her hand] Welcome back.

Thanks. [a slight grimace] I'm sorry if I caused any trouble for you.

[Sealink really hasn't talked to Martha enough, so here she is.]

Well, I ain't never seen blood like that before. And honey, I seen a lot of things.

[Martha looks a little worried] Neither have I.

[Noses at her, a little more concerned now that Martha's worry is apparent.] You're saying it weren't like that before now?

[she shakes her head] My blood was definitely red when I died. I should know, I saw enough of it.

[She draws back again, bewilderment clear on her face.] ...died?

[a slow nod] I was shot, and bled out here on the Plane. And then...the Twins brought me back. That's what happens here.

You went to where the lights burn through your lashes.

[nod] Had a nice cup of tea.

Trouble? It's my job.

Even Torchwood doesn't normally deal with cryptic blood-soaked calls for help coming from people in other universes.

I've dealt with worse.

[Sam knows that blood. He's very quiet, then--]

It happens to all of us who--you wake up with that. No one back home will notice.

[Oh lord, Hei knows what that means.]

...Martha?

[grimace] Any other fun side-effects that I haven't discovered yet?

[she gives him a smile that isn't quite as exuberant as usual] Hello, Hei.

I hear you lose or gain ... something. But I haven't found anything in me yet. ...Could be an allergy to mustard, for all I know.

[that gets a chuckle out of her] Considering that it's the Twins, I can't imagine that it could possibly be something as inconsequential as that.

I don't know, they can be a bit... [he waves a hand] They have an odd sense of everything.

[You know what? I give up on propriety. It's boring. Have a kitty!Ianto, Martha. Now with added collar, which you can probably hear jingling as he approaches.]

[Sry, Martha. Sealink's wtf-ing a bit here. She'll be nice to her in a minute.] Well, I ain't never heard that before.

Martha.
