Photographs

Part 1 – Carson Beckett

Carson had photographs of his family on his desk, his parents, grandparents, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews… and a man, just one man, standing alone.

It might have surprised some people in Atlantis to know that Carson hadn't always wanted to be a doctor.

Then he'd ended up sharing a table with a man in a café and after introducing himself had been quite shocked at the look of intense puzzlement that came over the man's face.

"Carson Beckett… Why do I know that name?"

Somehow he'd ended up telling him everything with the man's smile growing bigger and bigger as he'd talked until he'd asked him to accompany him somewhere.

Carson must have looked wary though because the man had grinned again and made the sincere promise that even if Carson did decide to come with him then he'd be back, outside the café not an hour from now.

For some reason he'd trusted him and he'd followed him, not questioning things even when he'd been led into a 1950's style police box.

Over the next month he'd been to more places than he could ever imagine.

But on all the worlds there had been one thing in common, people were still suffering, still hurting, even a hundred thousand years into the future people still needed help.

And that's when he'd known.

The Doctor had smiled at him knowingly and returned him, just as he'd promised, not even an hour after they'd left.

And if Carson hadn't looked too surprised when he'd been told aliens existed… well that wasn't anybody else's business, was it?
