I own nothing

Know your enemy

Martha and the Doctor stood outside the TARDIS in Martha's flat. "I guess this is goodbye then," she said. "What do you say, one more trip?" the Doctor asked her.

"No," Martha replied

"Why not?" he asked puzzled "I thought you liked it."

"I can't be just a passenger anymore," Martha told him "if that's how you think of me then I'd rather stay here She turned away.

The Doctor looked at her. I really should say something he thought to himself, otherwise she won't travel with me.

Think, he told himself, say something like Martha you've never been just a passenger, give her a key, anything. Say something you stupid man.

Martha walked to her room and changed into a sweat pants and a T shirt, meanwhile the Doctor stood in her living still trying to find the strength either to ask her – nicely – to travel with him or to leave.

The phone rang, Martha came out of her room; looked at the phone and the Doctor.

'Martha', her mother said, 'it's your mother'. 'I know who this Doctor really is, I know he's dangerous. You're gonna get yourself killed'. 'This information is from Harold Saxon himself'. 'You are not safe'.

At her mother's words the Doctor turned to Martha, "What? What does she mean?"

"Who is Harold Saxon?"

"Some guy running for prime minister," Martha replied. "He says he knows who I really am," the Doctor was pacing, "but how, and how come I don't know him."

He grabbed Martha, "you should call your mother."

Francine was at home, praying, hoping Martha would return her call. That Doctor was a monster trying to steal her daughter, making her do all kinds of things. When the phone rang, she jumped. "Hello,"

"Mom, it's me,"

"Martha, thank God, are you alright? Is that Doctor with you?"

"Mom calm down," Martha told her

"You said you knew who he really is, tell me"

"Well you've certainly become ruder since you met him; anyway Harold Saxon says that that man who calls himself the Doctor is really an alien."

"Mom, come on be serious," Martha interrupted her mother.

Francine continued, "He is, apparently he is from some place called Gallifrey and his one mission in life is to take over the world and make us all slaves. I know that sounds like Pinky and the Brain but there it is."

"Harold Saxon told you all this?" Martha asked.

"Of course Harold Saxon himself would not talk to me, but while you were running around with the Doctor at the Lazarus do, a man came up to me and told me that Harold Saxon had sent him to warn me about your new boyfriend."

"Don't tell me you believed him," Martha asked

"Why not, some guy whom I have never met, let alone heard you speak of, shows up has you following him like a lovesick puppy doing crazy things and he had a screw driver thingy, besides since you met him you've changed."

"I haven't changed," Martha told her mother.

"You have, the man also said that this Doctor of yours has a blue box in which he travels and also uses it to do weird things."

The Doctor, who was also listening to the call, almost replied weird things indeed. Who was this crazy Harold Saxon?

"Weird things," Martha laughed, "anyway don't worry Mother as you can hear I am at home not travelling around in blue boxes."

She hung up and turned to the Doctor.

"So what have you to say for yourself then? This Saxon person clearly knows you well at least the Gallifrey part."

"Yeah, but how?"

"So Martha it seems we have a mystery on our," he looked around the room "I guess the TARDIS will be safe here while we find out who Harold Saxon is and how he knows me so well." He laughed and rubbed his hands together.

Early the next morning Martha got a call from Tish. "You'll never believe this; I just got a call for an interview with the Saxon campaign team. It's weird because yesterday my boss died – what a creepy old guy - and before I can even think I get a call. Am I lucky or what?"

"You are lucky," Martha told her sister.

"Apparently they were impressed by my work at the Lazarus Laboratories. Enough about me , where did you meet that Doctor? Just the other night you were telling me you never have time to meet guys let alone go out with them."

" I met him after Leo's party and we are, well seeing how it goes."

"You know I can't talk now," Tish told her, "but I expect details later."

"Good luck," Martha told her and hung up.

"I guess that Harold Saxon really knows your family ," the Doctor said when she related the news, "first Francine and now Tish. Maybe we won't have to look for him after all; he may come looking for you."

Martha showed him the Saxon website and they saw pictures of him and his wife, school friends, graduation. "I don't recognise him," the Doctor was looking at the pictures, "yet he knows me, he knows about the TARDIS, he even knows you're my companion."

Later the day Tish came over to Martha's flat. She was surprised to find the Doctor there. "So has he moved in then?" she asked.

The Doctor and Martha looked at each other, "well temporarily."

"Anyway how was the interview?"

"Martha I got the job," "Congratulations," Martha hugged Tish.

"Did you meet the man himself?" the Doctor asked

"No, I'll meet him at the victory party after the elections."

"So he's gonna win then is he?"

"Well it was pretty weird," Tish told them "they didn't even ask me about work. Only about you," pointing at Martha, "and even you," pointing at the Doctor. "Your sister's new boyfriend they called you."

"What did you tell them?" the Doctor asked, "this is really important."

"I said that Martha is a medical student interning at the Royal Hope hospital, as for you well, I said I didn't know about your relationship with my sister."

The Doctor walked to the window and looked out, "I don't suppose they asked you where Martha lived?"

"They did, but before I could answer a sinister looking woman came in and said the interview was over and I had been given the job."

"Is that the woman?" he asked pointing to a blond woman who was walking towards the building.

"Yes," Tish agreed, "but what are they doing here?"

The blond woman was walking and behind her were three men.

"Martha," the Doctor grabbed her hand, "we have to go." Martha pulled Tish and they run into the TARDIS.

"Where did this come from?" Tish asked, "I didn't see it before"

"It sort of blends in," Martha answered her

"COOL."

"Hang on ladies, this may be bumpy."

"We have to make a stop in Cardiff," the Doctor told them

"Why?" Martha asked

"To refuel, meanwhile we have to find out who the blond woman is and how they out about you people. Tish I guess that's your area you are in PR after all."

While they were refuelling, they heard a knock at the door.

"Seriously Martha no wonder you couldn't describe it. This man and his toys are seriously cool," Tish told Martha.

The Doctor walked to the door, a man wearing a Second World War coat stood outside the door.

"Doctor," he said

"Captain," the Doctor replied

"I have been looking for you," the captain said as he entered the TARDIS. He spotted Martha and Tish, "my, my ," he turned to the Doctor."You have certainly changed, who are these beauties?"

"Don't start," the Doctor told him.

Martha and Tish smiled. "Captain Jack Harkness at your service," he saluted.

"Tish and Martha Jones," the Doctor introduced them.

"Wow, Doctor, you are a man of many surprises."

"It's not what you think; anyway you said you were looking for me."

"I knew you'd come back here for fuel so I hang around and here you are although it's taken me centuries. Anyway my people in London tell me that Harold Saxon wants you dead."

"What? Who is he anyway?"

Jack continued, "the story is either he wants you dead or maybe he just wants the TARDIS either way.."

Suddenly the TARDIS began to move.

"WHAT? WHAT?"
