Night 49: Room of Earth

[From here]

"...What?"

The door slammed shut behind them and locked with a rather distinctive click. The Doctor glanced back at the door-which was very different on this side than it had been on that side-but it wasn't the slam or the door that ended up grabbing the Doctor's attention. There was a loud rumbling that did not, he was quite ( Read more... )

Dean was gonna go with a nice what the hell himself but sure, what summed it up pretty well too. Sweet and to the point.

He stared.

No way. No. Way. He'd gone this way plenty of times and they should be out on the field, not...here.

It was still there, this whacked out scene totally stolen out of Raiders of the Lost Ark and amped up on steroids. And then some. Dean scrubbed at his eyes with one hand, half-hoping he was roofied again - seriously, pretty lame when that was the best option - and glancing sidelong at the Doctor to make sure, again, that they were on the same page here. He couldn't tell if the other patient was just plain impressed or shocked or what. Man, Dean wasn't even sure himself. It took a long couple of seconds to get past the fact that the boulders were rolling from one hole to another along the walls, and actually see past 'em. Dean squinted, frowning ( ... )

The initial shock of the unexpected change in locale was fading, and the Doctor took a moment to assess the situation. On the one hand, the teleport (or else dimensional transport, though that seemed somewhat less likely) through one door and out another was fascinating to have encountered here, and potentially gave one, tiny clue towards the capabilities of the Institute. On the other hand... he had no idea where they had ended up.

He moved away from the door when Dean motioned for room, looking between the door the man was trying to break down and the boulders coming out of the walls and rolling across the room.

Dean's efforts against the door proved futile, so the Doctor focused on the boulders and the door beyond them. "Then it looks like that's our only way out..." he said, indicating the far door. "We'll just have to hope that door is unlocked ( ... )

Dean snorted. "Man, you make it sound so easy ( ... )

The Doctor grinned at Dean. "Easy? No... But it's a lucky thing you're here with me," he said confidently. Tricky or not, he had a distinct advantage over humans when it came to timeHe considered Dean's offer to carry his coat, and pulled it off. On the chance it were to be pinned under or between anything, it would be a danger... both for them and for the coat itself. He bundled it up and held it out for Dean to put in his bag. "Thank you. Take care of it, alright? I love that coat ( ... )

Frankly, Dean was just surprised they were still alive. He wasn't real keen on arguing when the Doctor had got them this far and it'd not even been a minute.

Dean could feel a bead of sweat trickling down the side of his face as he did exactly as the Doctor prodded him to. They should be dead. All of these looked random as hell to him and several times he could feel the rush of air as one of those huge boulders came barreling past with only inches to spare. Every time he thought they'd hit a safe zone, he'd spot the Doctor looking at something else, almost sidelong, and then he was prodding him forward again. Normally Dean wouldn't be cool with some random dude pushing him around but getting stuck in some freak obstacle course with a guy who had some downright crazy observational skills there tended to kinda change things. No point wasting time bitching when the Doc had got them this far.

Although he was wondering if the guy had eyes in the back of his head there.

Dude's gotta rock at video games.It was one of those stupid ( ... )

It was a relief to reach the other side. He released his grip on the man's shoulder once they were safe, glancing back at the boulders still speed across the course.

They'd managed to make it across in one piece, but the Doctor felt there had been a few close calls-too close for his own comfort, honestly, especially being so close to that unlucky collision; beyond the noise, a fragment of rock that had shot by nicked his shoulder. He was alright, but his suit was worse for wear from it; he felt fortunate that it hadn't been his coat in the line of fire... or himself. If the Doctor had been shaken by those near-misses, however, he didn't show it as he smiled at Dean.

"I'm good at... lots of things, actually, but especially anything to do with time. Or timing," he said. "Even if I couldn't predict when the boulders would be coming out, once they appeared, well... It was just a matter of calculating where they would be when. Nothing to it ( ... )

"I'll do it," Dean turned toward the door.

He threw a last glance at the death trap behind them, and then back at the door. Seemed like they'd just been at this party and if it wasn't for the crushed boulder and the fresh tear on the Doc's clothing, he would've almost thought they hadn't made any progress. All the rumbling and crash of the boulders made it real hard to get some quiet time to just think.

Dean reached out and tried the doorknob.
