The TARDIS

Rose watched the altercation between Jack and the Doctor, even more confused than ever.

She was going to find out what had happened while she’d been in the alternate dimension after everything calmed down.  There had to be some way to heal the breach between the two most important men in her life, and she was determined to find it.

Jack recognised the Hub immediately, but didn’t recall leaving it in the shape it was now.

There was a fine film of dust over everything, as if Ianto hadn’t run a duster over anything in weeks.  Several small pieces of rubble littered the floor, and with a jolt Jack realised that the Hub must have come under attack ( Read more... )

The Dalek Crucible

As the Crucible shook around them, Jack stood at the door of the TARDIS, watching as both Doctors - with a hovering Donna watching them closely - worked around the control console, doing things with the various knobs and sockets around the device.  “How they hell are there two Doctors?” he couldn’t help but ( Read more... )

The Dalek Crucible

Jack couldn’t believe his eyes.

He turned to the Doctor, who was being held within some sort of force field, and then back to the open door of the TARDIS.  The Doctor who was stepping out of it wore a blue suit, different from the one on the current, captive Doctor, and there was something different about him ( Read more... )

The TARDIS

Clint handed the phone back to Donna, thanking her as together they headed back to the TARDIS’ control room.

She shrugged.  “Not a problem.  I know what it’s like when you have loved ones and they worry.”  She smiled.  “My Granddad was really glad to hear from me.”

“How does he handle it?” Clint asked.  “You, travelling in time ( Read more... )

Ianto hadn’t even been aware he’d dozed off over Toshiko’s workstation until a hand touched his shoulder, rousing him.

He blinked blurrily, and Deborah appeared, her pale eyes worried.  He was touched by her concern, and his own hand reached up and grasped hers.

She shivered slightly, her eyebrows drawing down.  “Your ( Read more... )

Interlude - Phil Coulson

The SHIELD Helicarrier, New York Harbour

Phil Coulson sighed, removing his glasses from his tired eyes and rubbing the bridge of his nose.

His office on the Helicarrier was windowless, so he really had no idea what was going on outside, but he’d heard enough reports to know that the Daleks were moving ( Read more... )

The Dalek Crucible

Rose listened as Martha explained about the bombs that had been planted around the Earth.

She couldn’t help but be impressed even as she felt like this was not the smartest thing to do.

She wasn’t as horrified as the Doctor about it, though.  Which was understandable; the Doctor was, at heart, a pacifist, ( Read more... )

The Dalek Crucible

Jack led them back into the access tunnel he’d emerged from, once again using his penlight to guide the way.  The mainframe hadn’t been all that far away, and it would take some time to wire the warp star into it, to cause the maximum amount of damage to the Daleks.  He could feel the warp star, now safe in ( Read more... )

The Dalek Crucible

Jack was slightly out of breath by the time he got to where the Vortex Manipulator had led him.

Pocketing his torch, Jack used the same unlocking command in order to get the access hatch open.  He was out of the confined space in a heartbeat, tired of being in too small an area.  While he hadn’t really become ( Read more... )
