New York City. Vworp. Early 21st century. Vworp. Tall buildings, streets flooded with cars, sidewalks bustling with people, parks, stores, musicals, and a blue box. Vworp.It seemed counter-intuitive that an old British police box could appear anywhere in the city of New York and not be noticed, but that was exactly what happened. Not in front

Peter was walking down the sidewalk with a cup of coffee. He didn't have anywhere to go but he'd spent most of the morning working on his powers and he needed a break. He planned on wandering around the city, drinking his coffee and not thinking about anything.

He was surprised to see The Doctor walking down the same side walk. He stopped and glanced around. "Hey! Doctor," he called out, threading his way through the people on the sidewalk. "Nice to see you. Surprised but nice."

Speak of the devil, sometimes he had the best luck (or best coincidences, depending on one's point of view). He couldn't help but grin. "Peter! Fancy running into you soon as I get here. I didn't really expect to be back, not this soon, but it's good to see you again. Always good. Right, er...this might sound a bit weird, but you're used to that by now. Straight to the point, then--has something been going on? Something weirder than normal, something bad, something...well, off."

"As much time as I need. Time and space machine, remember?" Weird how--that was a good question. "Weird as in...okay, here, let's go to something more general and better understood. Is there anything going on that you've noticed that might cause something quite like the end of the world to happen? Something that might cause something bad beyond bad? I don't know, the TARDIS never tells me what's the matter, just takes me to where the problem is. I'll figure it out sooner or later." He always did.

And since he always did, if something on the scale of Very Bad was going on, he was bound to stumble on it very soon. He wrapped an arm around Peter's shoulders and led him down the street (no, he didn't have a destination, but that didn't matter). "What I mean to say is, we know you've got these special abilities--that makes life weird enough as it is, especially since there are a lot of others that can do amazing things. That already makes this situation, whatever it is, highly volatile and delicate. Whatever's going on, I'm
