Primeval Drabble: I Told You So

Title: I Told You So
Word Count: 100
Rating: G
Genre: gen
Challenge: monthly challenge at [livejournal.com profile] primeval_denial, although I didn't manage the minimum of 500 words
Characters: Connor, Tom, Duncan
Disclaimer: Not mine, no money made. Primeval and its characters belong to Impossible Pictures
Author Notes: a drabble, inspired my the February prompt “Nobody who says, ‘I told you so’ has ever been, or will ever be, a hero.” - Ursula K Le Guin.
Set in S01E04.


"

Just how stupid do you think we are, Conn? Space-time anomalies? Dinosaurs? It sounds like someone's been overdoing the Playstation."

"I can prove it. Only I'm not allowed. But one day I can say" I told you so.".

Tom and Duncan thought their friend had lost it.

"Now you can say "I told you so", Tom said, dying in Connor's arms. "The aliens tried to take me over. But I fought them."

"You did a really good job."

"Am I a hero?"

"Definitely, Tom."

"You are too, Conn, despite saying "I told you so." Save the world."

"I promise."

As much as I despised Tom and Duncan for the way they treated Connor, I really did tear up at that scene.

Well done.

Indeed, Tom and Duncan didn't treat Connor very well, but nobody deserves to die lie this. Poor boys, bless them.

Thank you!
I was not completely pleased with it, but at least I was able to write a drabble for the challenge.

Poor Connor, even if Tom and Duncan were mean to him.

They were mean to Connor. Bless them all, though.
