Chapter 1- Two Doctors and a 16 year old girl walk into the TARDIS.
This is the Doctor Who/Criminal Minds Crossover that I have been planning for a while. I looove Doctor Who (I fangirled in the Series finale) and I am mad, but I wanted to create a 12th Doctor, so yeah, I apologise. I also looove Criminal Minds (No way TMG! After all the fanfic you wrote about it!) and the season finale... DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD! :D
I don't own Doctor Who sadly, or Criminal Minds :( Otherwise, Maeve would be alive, and Strax, Jenny and Vastra would have their own show! Anyone for Pasternoster?
Also, working hard on the CM/FFXIII crossover, and had to reorganise it at one point, and having damned writers block on Chapter 35...About this fanfic, apart from the fact that I could not think of the way of getting Dr Spencer Reid onto the TARDIS, hopefully it'll be good, though not entirely happy with the first adventure Reid, the Doctor and my OC Charlotte have, though characteristing the 12th Doctor is really hard... :( All I know is that he is quieter, more cautious, and more aware of death.
Finally... When.. no if, you review, can you also choose between I, II or III? I am trying to decide the other fanfic I write over the summer holidays, and I am having problems choosing. I WANNA WRITE ALL THREE, BUT THAT AIN'T POSSIBLE! :(
Here we are! Chapter 1! Also, rewrote the 1st 2 chapters, thank you Village-Mystic for the reviews and I have rewritten the summary, and corrected some of the things that you mentioned. :D
It should've been a normal supermarket trip, and yet it ended up being so much more.
Dr Spencer Reid was at the checkout of the supermarket, buying a week's worth of take away meals after discovering that his fridge was currently mostly empty. The only thing in there, a microwaveable lasagne, had its sell by date state a day three days before.
If they hadn't had that case in Michigan… If he had bought more food… If he had visited a different supermarket… He wouldn't have seen it.
As he walked out of the supermarket, he saw a royal blue police box in one of the side streets. And yet, no one noticed it. It was if it didn't exist…
Reid quietly walked towards the box, his right hand clutching his gun, his left hand still holding the take away meals that he had bought. He needed to investigate what this box was.
Finally, he approached the door, and quickly knocked on the smooth, wooden surface. He stood there for what felt like forever staring at the box, and trying to work out why it was there.
The door opened.
"Charlotte?" A man asked, poking his head out of the box, before catching sight of Reid. The man paused, before asking, in a distinctive British accent, "Who are you? And how can you see the TARDIS?"
The man was in his late 20s, with blonde hair and green eyes. He was wearing a dark blue suit, with matching boots. He glared at Reid, trying to work out who he was.
"Er... Dr Spencer Reid and you are?" Reid gulped, "And who is Charlotte? What is the TARDIS?"
The man paused, before carefully replying, "I'm the Doctor. Charlotte is my travelling companion, and the TARDIS is…."
"Doctor?" A 16 year old girl approached the TARDIS. She had long, light brown hair and sky blue eyes. She was shorter than both the Doctor and Spencer, and her skin was speckled with freckles. She then smiled, "Who is this?"
The Doctor quickly replied, "His name is Doctor Spencer Reid, Charlotte. He can see the TARDIS."
"Pleased to meet you Charlotte." Reid waved at Charlotte, whilst noting Charlotte's British accent. He thought, "Both British, and yet if they are living in a box, they can't be wealthy. How, then, did they get the money to travel to the US?"
"Can he come travelling with us?" Charlotte asked with a massive smile, "He seems like a capable person. After all, he looks fairly intelligent, curious and he's got a gun, which means that he must be a pretty good shot."
"I've got a job." Reid apologized, "Sorry, I can't travel with you. What…?"
"Please, just come inside then. We can explain everything." Charlotte pleaded, "Then, you can make a decision."
Reid nodded, and he followed Charlotte and the Doctor into the TARDIS, before looking around, and his eyes widened.
"It's…" Reid gasped in awe.
"Bigger on the inside?" The Doctor gave him a wry smile, "Yeah, I know that. Nothing major."
"It's Transdimensional engineering." Reid finally replied, "This scientifically should not be possible! This is amazing! It's like you have fitted a larger dimension into this dimension."
The Doctor stared at Reid. No one had ever said that before. "You're a Doctor? Must be a genius then." The Doctor Stated.
"I don't believe that intelligence can be quantified, but I do have an IQ of 187, an eidetic memory and I can read 20,000 words a minute." Reid rambled.
"You're defiantly a genius then." Charlotte commented.
Reid paused, before continuing, "Then, I guess neither of you are human?"
"Charlotte is human, but I'm not. I am a Time Lord from Gallifrey." The Doctor replied, "And the TARDIS is a time machine. Do you want to come with us?"
Reid nodded excitedly, exclaiming, "Of course I do! That means that I can study more about the past and the future. As long as you take me back, I will come with you."
"Take you back to your own time? That is easy enough." Charlotte smiled, "Where do you want to go?"
"I don't know." Spencer admitted, "You have given me an infinite amount of possibilities that I can choose from."
Charlotte laughed, "Yeah, I understand what you mean about that. When I first started travelling in the TARDIS, I was like 'Wow this is sooo cool. OMG, I don't know where to start!' in the end, the Doctor just randomly chose a destination."
"Ok… I want to go to another planet." Reid finally decided, "I want to see how different alien culture can be."
"Ok then, Dr Spencer Reid. Let's go!" The Doctor smiled a tiny bit.
The Doctor went to the console, pulled a leaver, and then the familiar whooping sound could be heard, and then the TARDIS vanished from the street.
Meanwhile, Reid dropped the take away meals onto one of the benches, before walking to the console.
"So, can you teach me how to fly the TARDIS?" Reid asked politely, "Because it would be cool to learn how to fly it."
The Doctor grumbled, "It's a her, but I will teach you how to fly it. There isn't a Manuel before you ask… I threw it into a black hole."
"Why?" Reid inquired.
The Doctor mumbled, "Because it annoyed me." Before saying more loudly, "Right then, if you have an eidetic memory, all you need to do is watch me control the TARDIS and listen to me explain the name then?"
Reid nodded, and the Doctor began to show Reid how to control the TARDIS, showing each gear, leaver and button to Reid, and Reid's memory stored the information.
Meanwhile, Charlotte walked down the corridor, and into her bedroom. Quickly, she took out her mobile phone and dialled the number she dialled the most.
Quickly, the person she was calling answered "Spy?"
"Yes, it is me, Sage. Hello." Charlotte replied, "The Doctor got a new companion today. What can you tell me about Dr Spencer Reid?"
"Nothing much. I'll look him up for you, and then I'll tell you, is that ok?" The Sage replied, "Also, what other information have you got on the Doctor?"
"Apart from what I have told you before…." Charlotte replied, before being cut off by The Doctor calling out her name, "I'm sorry, Sage, but I need to go now."
Charlotte ended the call, and walked back to the control room.
"Yes, Doctor, what is it?" She smiled happily.
"We're here. The planet of the Smiling Moon." The Doctor replied, "And before you ask, there are no fixed points in time here, however we should not meddle unless it is absolutly necessary."
"Let's go then!" Charlotte grinned, before walking out of the door, followed closely behind by Reid, who was…, suspicious of her. There was more to her than met the eye, that was for certain. However, he shook that feeling away, and walked out onto Smiling Moon.
