Summary: It started with a blue box....
Chapter 5: I am the Doctor
------------
“So you’re telling me, his blue box is bigger on the inside, they made claims he can travel through time and space and there’s a giant green horse out to kills us?” Barry said. He followed his nephew up the staircase. This was the forth power plant they hit. Of the four they had retrieved 3 tubes.
“Yup!” Wally said. “Don’t forget the little tiny goblins that want to drain all of America for heat.”
Barry raised an eyebrow. “That’s… Kid what the hell did you guys get yourself into?” He was not having a panic attack at the thought of Wally and the kids hanging out THE Doctor, nope, not at all.
Wally snorted. “Not my fault that a blue box appeared out of nowhere.”
-------
“No sign of a green horse,” Artemis whispered over the ear-comm.
“I’m in the generator room,” Megan spoke up. “There’s no one here.”
“Good,” Batman replied. “Check the generator for the device. Stay on guard. It might come back.” He surveyed the damage caused by the horse. Mentally he sighed and added the cost of repairs to his list of expenses.
“I got it!” Megan announced.
“Good let’s go back.”
----------------
“Stupid giant green horse,” Superboy snapped.
“At least we managed to outrun,” Kaldur remarked. “Your superspeed is getting better and we got the tube. Let’s go back now.”
“I hate horses,” Superboy darkly said.
-----------
“Alright, we’ll put that here, twist this there. How’s the hacking coming along, Robin?” the Doctor asked. He fiddled with the device, pulling and reattaching wires.
“Got the coordinates,” Robin said. He wrote them down on a piece of paper.
“Excellent!” the Doctor rushed into the TARDIS. He pulled the scanner toward him and inputted the coordinates. “Let’s see where they are.”
Amy, Rory and Robin appeared behind him. The screen fizzled before clearing up. “Well,” the Doctor remarked. “That isn’t very good.”
On the screen, a few dozen spaceships floated in orbit around Earth. “It looks like they brought the entire fleet,” the Doctor said.
---------
“Man, we’re the last one back,” Wally complained.
Barry ruffled his nephew’s hair. “Yeah but we did hit more power planets then everyone else.” He handed the Doctor seven tubes. “We hit ten power plants, but only found seven tubes. There wasn’t much time to check rest of the Power Plants across the nation.”
“Thank you for your work, gentlemen,” the Doctor said. He placed his goggles back on his eyes and began working on the tubes again.
“We have a problem,” Robin remarked, coming up to his teammates and mentor.
“What kind of problem?” Batman asked.
“Well, I helped the Doctor back trace the signal and he used his scanner in his ship to find out where that coordinates are. Yeah, there’s an entire fleet hovering above our heads in space,” Robin said. He pointed at the sky as he said that.
“How do we stop them?” Megan asked.
“We should call in the entire league,” Batman said.
“Well there’s no need for that!” the Doctor said. He pulled off the goggles. “By the way anyone wouldn’t happen to know where we could get a cyclotron?”
“A cyclotron?” Barry asked. “Well, I got an old model of Captain Cold’s gun in the Flash Museum.”
“Brilliant!” the Doctor exclaimed. “Wait, it’s a gun, as in it is already capable of producing ice?”
Barry nodded. “Well yeah. That’s what Captain Cold is all about. Freezing things.”
“That’s wonderful! Oh you humans, making technological advances by the bucket full, but never realizing what you have in front of you,” the Doctor said. “Well then.” He tossed the ten tubes to Barry. “Fastest man alive yes? Go pick up that freeze gun and then take these tubes and bury them in the ice of say… the Antarctica? If the ice starts melt use the freeze gun to refreeze the ice.”
Barry looked at Batman who nodded. Then with a shrug, Barry was gone in a flash.
“What are you gonna do?” Wally asked.
“Well I’m going to head up to the flagship. All you lot will be staying here.”
“Fat chance of that,” Amy said. “We’re coming with you, whether you like it or not.” She marched straight into the TARDIS, dragging Rory along with her.
“We’re coming with you as well,” Robin said. “Can’t let you go facing dangers by yourself.”
“But,” the Doctor said.
“No ‘buts’,” Batman growled. He entered the TARDIS with the teens following after him.
“Doctor, just get in here already!”
“Well then, Geronmio!”

Vworp! Vworp! Vworp!
Tiny blue goblins scrambled out of the way. What was a blue box doing here? The doors burst open and insanely arrows flew out, spreading a smokescreen. The Tohs screamed and ran for cover. Alarms began to ring announcing the intruders.
“HOLD IT!”
“What are you doing?” Batman asked. The Doctor was ruining a perfect cover. They could get in, find the captain and restrain him before the aliens had a chance to recover.
“They get one chance,” the Doctor said. “Trust me. I’m a pacifist after all. You Americans, always shoot first ask questions later.”
The Doctor stepped in front of the armed superheroes and looked down at the tiny Tohs. “Pardon my friends. They get excited.”
“Who are you?” the Toh in a red hat asked. He held up a sword at the Doctor’s face. It was little laughable. The Toh barely came up the Doctor’s kneed, his sword barely a foot long. A small group of Tohs surrounded the Doctor.
“They speak English?” Superboy asked, eyebrow quirked.
“It’s TARDIS, it translated all alien language into something we can actually hear,” Rory said.
“That doesn’t matter,” the Doctor said. “For you see, I want to know why you’ve come here. Why are you planning to steal electricity from Earth? The Noillats provide more than ample amounts of electricity. You have no need steal from Earth.”
“You can never have enough food,” the Toh in the red hat said. “This doesn’t concern you. Leave!”
“Ah uh,” the Doctor said, wagging his finger. “But it does concern me. You see your little plan could endanger over 300,000,000 people below. You’ll cast an entire nation into darkness for months, maybe even a few years if you drain all their electricity just to get a little bit more food.”
“It does not matter,” the red hat Toh argued. “We will drain the electricity!”
“Is he mad?” Kaldur asked.
“Well, he is a mad man with a box,” Amy said offhandedly.
“You don’t get it do you?” the Doctor said. “See I’ve already figured out your little plan, and now I have a countermeasure. You installed Energy Converters and Transporters into generators. We probably didn’t get them all, but that doesn’t matter. You see I reversed the few that we did fine, so that it drains heat instead of giving heat.”
“Heat transfer!” Wally exclaimed. “Heat naturally moves high to low temperature area. That’s why you wanted Flash to bury those tubes in the ice. This ship is warm. Those tubes will suck all the heat from ship and melt the ice.”
“Smart boy!” the Doctor said in a glee. He looked back down at the Toh in a red hat. “All the heat will drain from the ship. Not only do you lot eat heat as food, you survive because of heat. Cold blooded species you are. Now tell me what will happen if I plunged all your ships into a deep freeze?”
The red hat Toh began to sweat. Their eyes are wide and murmurs broke out in the crowd of Tohs. “Who are you?” the red hat Toh whispered.
The Doctor knelt down. “Hello, I’m the Doctor,” he introduced. “Basically… run.”
Panic broke out among the Tohs. “RETREAT!” the red hat Toh ordered. “CALL ALL UNITS BACK! ABORT THE MISSION!”
The Doctor stood up. He placed his hands in his pockets and walked back toward the TARDIS. “Shall we take our leave?” With a snap of his fingers, he opened the door of the TARDIS. His companions shuffled back in and the TARDIS dematerialized.
She rematerialized in space. The Doctor adjusted the scanner. They watched as ships began to pull away from Earth. Within a few minutes every Toh ship was gone.
“Just like that?” Artemis said. “They’re gone.”
“And never returning,” the Doctor said cheerfully. “WHO DA MAN?!” he said with a pump of his fist.
Silence filled the room. Everyone stared at the Doctor. He looked back at them, sheepish. “Oh yes, I said I was never going to say that again, didn’t I?” He turned his attention back to the console. “Well then, let’s get going. Things to do, people to see, and a bunch of superheroes to turn home.”
He flipped a lever and the TARDIS began to move again. Everyone grabbed onto something. Soon the TARDIS landed back in Hall of Justice.
The teens and Batman shuffled out of it. Barry was waiting for them in the hall. “Are you guys okay?” he asked.
“We’re fine,” Wally said. “That was pretty fun.”
“Interesting to say the least,” Kaldur said in an amused tone.
“Never a dull moment!” the Doctor said. He looked at Batman. “You’ll probably want to check the rest of the power plant generators for those Energy Converters and Transporters. They’re harmless now, but it never hurts to be thorough. The Tohs shouldn’t be coming back any time soon.”
“Thank you,” Batman said.
“Where are you going now? Robin asked.
“Well we were headed to ancient Egypt,” Rory said.
“Wait wait!” Wally said, rushing back up to the Doctor. “You can really travel back in time? How does that work?”
“Doctor,” Amy warned. She didn’t want to sit through another techobabble lecture.
“Right, sorry Wally. Perhaps another time,” the Doctor said with a twinkle in his eye. He walked toward the TARDIS.
“Have a good trip!” Megan called out.
The Doctor stopped before he closed the door. He winked and said, “Until next time.”
Vworp! Vworp! Vworp!
