Owen walked along the dawn-lit street humming to himself. This was his favourite part of the day.

It felt as though he had the whole of Cardiff to himself; he could take his time, and enjoy the sights and sounds of the early morning.

This Kiss by Faith Hill played its way around his head and nearby a bird started its early morning call to the world. Owen smiled to himself and an extra bounce appeared in his step.

All too soon though he neared the Hub. As he walked towards the Tourist Information Office door he made an effort to set his face into the scowl his team-mates were familiar with and tried to think of the first few sarcastic barbs he could use this morning.

He loved his team-mates dearly and always looked forward to seeing them, but he knew that the team needed a hard-edged doctor. He needed to appear detached or they would never let him treat them. And so he did. Every day he slipped into the mask of heartless, sarcastic, snappy Owen the bastard.

With a sigh he said goodbye to the singing birds and the song in his head and opened the door.

This is a really different perspective on Owen. I can see him doing that. I always thought he had a good heart under that sarcastic exterior.

Aww. He healed a bit from Katie but he was caught in his own trap. They expect the snark and he has to provide.

Oh nice take on Owen the Snark. It's good we saw his caring side once in a while, and this fits right in - well done!

I like this perspective of Owen and I feel it might be true. I have always believed that owen has a much bigger heart thatn he he pretends to have.

lol ... I was about to say that I never saw Owen as one to like early mornings and then you came up with that twist. Very interesting take on him. :)
Thank you!!

You saw this Owen every once in a while, but most of the time he was well hidden.

Oh, this just makes me a little sad, but it's an interesting take on Owen.
