I do not own Doctor Who or the Defenders. Only this story. It takes place after the Defenders series on Netflix. The only new thing is that Matt Murdock is alive and well and the other Defenders know it. A few months have passed.

This story is a sequel to my first story "The Time of Heroes", a Doctor Who-Daredevil Crossover, and this story is part of a greater series of mine called 'the Fight for Earth", a Doctor Who-Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. crossover. However, the events of this story are not particularly connected to the events of those stories and there will be brief summaries as needed. Enjoy!


Chapter 1: Aliens in New York

Manhattan, New York City, United States 2017

The city of New York had been a target for aliens in recent years. The city was subject to several invasions. In 2015, the Devil of Hell's Kitchen (now known simply as Daredevil), teamed up with some of the Avengers and some companions of the Doctor to stop a plot by the Master and the Slitheen to move Manhattan to the planet Xandar, which would have killed the millions of people there. The city also faced several local threats from 2016-2017, including a secret society known as the Hand (fought by Daredevil and the Iron Fist separately), the twisted madman Kilgrave (killed by Jessica Jones), and the criminal mastermind Diamondback (stopped by Luke Cage). Then in 2016, the city was attacked by the Cyber-Daleks, a hybrid race of the Daleks and the Cybermen from a parallel world, but this global invasion was stopped by the Doctor, the Avengers, and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. In 2017, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and the Iron Fist teamed up to defeat the Hand. This evil organization planned to destroy the city. The heroes were nicknamed the Defenders and they haven't teamed up together since. Now, New York City was once again under attack, but from more than one threat.

The TARDIS materialized in Lower Manhattan right next to New York City Hall. The building where politicians governed this massive city was located in a large public park complete with trees and grass, a nice scene amongst the towering skyscrapers. At least that's what it was supposed to be. On this fall day, all the leaves were gone. This was not atypical for fall in New York for the leaves to fall of the trees. However, all the grass was dead and the tree trunks had also begun to wither away. No one in New York had an explanation as to why all the trees in this park were dying so suddenly and so rapidly. Now, a Time Lord had arrived to investigate.

The Twelfth Doctor stepped out of the TARDIS, followed by his companion Bill Potts. The two of them had just been to Asgard and assisted Thor in evacuating the city to save it from Ragnarok. The Asgardians were currently on their way to Earth. The Doctor and Bill decided to visit New York City before the Asgardians arrived. They walked out right next to city hall. Bill was impressed by the sight of the skyscrapers and the urban rush that surrounded the park. However, both Bill and the Doctor were concerned that the park was in such decay.

"What happened here?" Bill asked.

"I don't know." The Doctor said.

"No one would just let this happen to a public park." Bill said. "Everything is dead. How can everything be dead?"

"Let's see." The Doctor said as he took out his sonic screwdriver and scanned the area. "Oh my."

"What did you find?" Clara asked.

"Traces of alien radiation." The Doctor said.

"So aliens ruined this park." Bill said.

"Apparently so." The Doctor said.

As the Doctor looked around, he noticed a particular blind man walking around the park. The Doctor knew that this man was Matt Murdock. As the Daredevil, Matt assisted the Doctor, Clara, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers last year to fight the Master and her Cybermen. The Doctor rushed up to Matt. Bill followed closely behind.

"Where are you going?" Bill asked.

The Doctor did not respond. He simply kept moving. Eventually the Doctor reached Matt.

"Matthew." The Time Lord said.

"Doctor?" Matt asked. "I thought I heard the TARDIS. How are you? How's Clara?"

"I'm good all things considered." The Doctor said, avoiding the topic of Clara altogether.

"Who's your friend?" Matt asked.

"Bill Potts." She said. "I've been traveling with the Doctor for a while now. How do you two know each other?"

"I'll explain later." The Doctor said. "We were just wondering if you know what's happening in this park."

"I came here today to investigate." Matt said. "Have you found anything?"

"Something in this area is emitting a massive amount of alien radiation and that's what's killing all the plants and grass." The Doctor said.

"Aliens in New York." Matt said. "I should've known."

"We could use your help to find out what's going on." The Doctor said.

"Agreed." Matt said. "Can we take the TARDIS back to my apartment?"

"Absolutely." The Doctor said.


Queens, New York City, United States 2017

Across the East River in Queens, another alien event was being investigated. Private Investigator Jessica Jones was walking down Queens Boulevard. She had traveled to this part of the massive city in order to investigate reports of an alien sighting. The Avengers had not been as involved in these sorts of incidents as they previously had ever since their civil war that literally divided the team in half and made many of them fugitives. Jessica knew that if there were aliens in New York again, there would be no one to investigate it. So, she took the initiative. She would find out what was going on and call the other Defenders if she felt she needed to, but Jessica tended to think she could handle most situations on her own.

There was still plenty of daylight, but the sun was going to set soon. Jessica was on the street where the alien was sighted last night. She looked around now, and aside from people walking about here and there, there wasn't much activity. However, she heard some rustling in a nearby alley. The area on the sidewalk behind her was deserted. Only she could hear the banging going on in the alley. Jessica approached with caution. Then, she looked inside the alley and saw a small man throwing some trash in a dumpster. Nothing out of the ordinary she thought, until the man turned around to face her. This man was nothing like she had ever seen before. He was small and his head was large and rounded. He wore a blue armor and was carrying a laser gun. Jessica Jones had stumbled onto a Sontaran in Queens.

"What the hell are you?" Jessica asked.

"For the glory of Sontar!" The Sontaran shouted as it launched a blast from its laser gun directly at Jessica.

She froze. Jessica had super strength, but not super speed. She could not outrun the blast. Suddenly, a man grabbed onto Jessica from behind her and pushed her out of the way. Jessica had avoided the blast, which flew out into the street and hit a parked car. Jessica fell to the floor. She quickly got up and saw the man who saved her life. He was a tall man in a leather jacket with a buzz cut. This was the Ninth Doctor. Standing next to him was a blonde girl in a red sweatshirt, his companion Rose Tyler. Jessica ran back to the alley to fight the alien, but the Sontaran had disappeared.

"What the hell just happened?" Jessica asked.

"Forget about it." The man said. "Just go home. Read a book. Watch some TV and forget."

"Excuse me?" Jessica replied.

The man then opened a small wallet flap that had his identification on it.

"As it says here, I'm with the police." The man said. "We'll take care of it."

"Bull." Jessica said. "That's fake."

"It's not." The man said. "Now go home."

Jessica had had enough. She hated not having answers. So, she grabbed the man's shirt with her right arm and lifted him up. She was holding the man up with just one arm.

"Oh my god!" The blonde girl cried.

"Tell me what that thing was." Jessica yelled.

"Look at you." The man said in amazement. "You're incredibly strong."

"Nice observation genius." Jessica said. "Now tell me what I want to know so I can help. Someone needs to fight these aliens if the Avengers aren't coming."

"Put me down and we'll talk." The man said.

Jessica then put him back down on the ground and let go of his shirt.

"Start talking." She said.

"My name is the Doctor." He said. "This is Rose Tyler. We're here because we detected an alien presence in this city and we came to investigate."

"Came from where?" Jessica asked. "England?"

"Rose and I travel around stopping aliens from hurting people." The Doctor said.

"Are you human?" Jessica asked. "Or are you like me?"

"You're an alien?" Rose asked.

"No." Jessica said. "I have powers."

"Yes we saw." The Doctor said.

"The Doctor is an alien." Rose said. "I'm just a normal human."

"I believe you." Jessica said. "With all the crazy things I've seen in this city over the years, I'd believe just about anything."

"What's your name?" The Doctor asked.

"Jessica Jones." She replied. "I'm a P.I."

"Did someone hire you to investigate this?" The Doctor asked.

"No." She replied. "I wanted to do this myself."

"What have you found?" Rose asked.

"Nothing." She replied. "Only what you just saw. What was that thing?"

"A Sontaran." The Doctor said. "It's a soldier from a military race of aliens. Their presence on Earth can't be good. Will you help us investigate? We could use someone with your skills."

"Ya." Jessica said. "Let's get to work."


Manhattan, New York City, United States 2017

In the police precinct in Harlem, Luke Cage sat in the lobby with Claire Temple. Earlier that day, Luke discovered a reptile-like alien in a mask in one of the Harlem subway stations. He attempted to fight it, but the alien had a laser gun and shot him in the shoulder. Then it escaped into the tunnels. Luke then came here to report the incident to Detective Misty Knight and the NYPD. Misty then took a police squad to the subway to investigate. While Luke waited in the precinct for Misty to return, Claire was using her nursing skills to tend to his wound and she was basically done.

"What did it look like?" Claire asked.

"It looked like any human." Luke said. "Except it had green scales all over its face and a lizard shaped head."

"Lizard people in the subway." Claire said. "Well that's new."

Just then, Misty returned through the doors with two people she had apprehended at the subway. The first was a man in a suspenders and a tweed jacket. The other was a red haired girl. This was the Eleventh Doctor and his companion Amy Pond.

"I told you." The Doctor said. "You've got it all wrong! We aren't the problem. The Silurians are the problem."

"Who are they?" Luke asked.

"We closed off the station to investigate and these two kept sneaking in and interrupting a police investigation." Misty said.

"Because you need my help." The man said. "I'm the Doctor. Have you heard of me?"

"Do you know what's going on?" Luke asked. "I saw the lizard people down there."

"You saw a Silurian." The Doctor said. "I need to figure out what they're doing here."

"Quiet." Misty said. "Take them to the interrogation room."

Misty and the police then led the Doctor and Amy away deeper into the building.

"That guy knows what's going on here." Luke said.

"Are you sure?" Claire asked. "He sounded crazy to me."

"I have to talk to him." Luke said.

"You know Misty." Claire said. "She's not going to let them go without a fight."

Luke noticed from down the hall when he peeped over that Misty and her officers were at their desks dealing with some paperwork before they questioned the Doctor and Amy.

"They're in there alone." Luke said. "How mad will she be if I break them out of here?"

"Furious." Claire said with a smile. "Go. I'll cover for you."

Luke Cage then got up, with his shoulder now basically healed. He speed walked through the hallway, passed Misty's office, and into the interrogation room. Luke looked at the Doctor and Amy sitting at the table. He walked over to them and used his strength to break their handcuffs off.

"What's going on?" Amy asked.

"Come with me." Luke said. "I need to protect Harlem from these aliens and I need your help to do it."

"Finally someone who understands." The Doctor said.

"We have to move quickly." Luke said. "We can't let Misty see us."

Luke opened the door and peeped his head out to make sure the coast was clear. He then speed walked down the hall again, with the Doctor and Amy right behind him. They walked past Claire, who smiled at the trio as they exited the building. Once on the street, the Doctor began to speak.

"Who exactly are you then?" The Doctor asked. "How were you able to just break handcuffs?"

"Luke Cage." He said. "You haven't heard of me? Where are you from?"

"All over." The Doctor said. "I'm the Doctor this is Amy."

"How do you know about aliens?" Luke asked.

"Well…I am one." The Doctor responded. "Amy's human though. We travel around exploring and stopping evil aliens when we find them. The Silurian presence in New York is troubling. So we came to investigate."

"Let me come with you." Luke said. "I have special abilities that may help."

"Abilities?" Amy asked.

"Ya." Luke said. "I'm bulletproof."

"No way." The Doctor said with a happy smile on his face. "Are you an alien?"

"No." Luke said. "It's a long story. We need to keep moving before Misty notices we're gone."

"Smart idea." The Doctor said. "Let's get working then."


Brooklyn, New York City, United States 2017

It was now night in the city. Danny Rand and Colleen wing lurked in the shadows of the Brooklyn waterfront. Unfortunately, it had happened again. Danny's company Rand Enterprises had purchased land in Brooklyn for reasons that didn't entirely make sense. The purchase of new land on the Brooklyn waterfront made no sense for the company's current ventures. The last time this happened, the Hand was behind it. As the Iron Fist, Danny made a vow to stop the Hand at any cost. So, he decided to investigate, and took his friend Colleen along with him. As they crept through the shadows they saw a large blue police box that seemed very out of place next to an old warehouse by the docs. The watched the box from across the street.

"What is that thing?" Colleen asked.

"I don't know." Danny replied.

Suddenly, the doors to the blue box opened and two people stepped out. One was a tall skinny man with spiked hair. The other was a tall woman with red hair. This was the Tenth Doctor and his companion Donna Noble.

"What were they doing in there?" Colleen asked. "There can't be much room for two of them."

"Let's follow them." Danny said. "Two unusual people coming from an unusual place on the land my company just bought behind my back. That can't be a coincidence."

The Doctor scanned the dimly lit area with his sonic screwdriver as he and Donna walked through the area.

"Yep." The Time Lord said. "There's some kind of alien presence here."

"Aliens." Donna said. "In New York!"

"I know." The Doctor said.

"It's just like all the films." Donna said to herself. "What do you suppose they want?"

"Donna." The Doctor said.

"What?" She replied.

"We're being followed." The Doctor said as he turned around.

Donna turned around as well and only saw darkness. However, the Doctor knew that there were two people, who were hiding behind a nearby tree with almost ninja-like precision.

"Who's there?" The Doctor shouted. "There's no point in hiding. I know you're there."

Then, Danny Rand and Colleen Wing emerged from the tree and took fighting stances.

"Oh my god they're ninjas." Donna said.

"No they're not." The Doctor said. "Are you?"

"We ask the questions here." Danny said. "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

"I'm the Doctor." He said. "This is Donna. We're here investigating suspicious activity."

"What kind of suspicious activity?" Colleen asked.

"Aliens." Donna said.

"What?" Danny said as he let his guard down. "What would aliens want with my company's property."

"So this is your property?" The Doctor asked. "Who are you then?"

"Danny Rand." He said. "I'm the immortal Iron Fist."

"The what?" Donna asked.

"You need to stop introducing yourself like that." Colleen said. "I'm Colleen."

"I thought the Iron Fist was just a legend." The Doctor said.

"The Iron what?" Donna asked.

"An ancient warrior who can summon chi in his hand to make it glow and become a powerful weapon." The Doctor said.

"You know about the Iron Fist?" Danny asked.

"Are you with the hand?" Colleen asked.

"What hand?" The Doctor asked. "I've only got two, except for the third one I took from Jack, but that's another story. So why are you here?"

"We're investigating too." Colleen said.

"Why do you need to investigate your own property?" Donna asked.

"Someone in my company authorized the purchase of the land without my permission." Danny said. "The last time that happened an evil group called the Hand was using the land to funnel drugs into this city. I need to be sure that isn't happening again. Now you're telling me there's aliens?"

"That's exactly what I'm telling you." The Doctor said.

"These two aren't Hand." Danny said to Colleen. "They're doing the same thing we are and they seem to know more about what's going on."

"Can we join you?" Colleen said. "We want to uncover the truth just the same as you."

"I don't see why not." The Doctor said. "Come along Iron Fist."

With that, the four defenders had teamed up with four versions of the Doctor to investigate four alien incidences in New York. None of them had any idea that these alien events were all connected in a sinister plot that would destroy New York. The Doctors and Defenders will have to move quickly to uncover the truth.
