Parallel Universe Series

Parallel Family

Bluebox345


A/N: Happy New Year! This is my sixth story in my Parallel Universe Series, Parallel Family. I would highly recommend reading the first five stories before this (Parallel Universe, Parallel Earth, Parallel Future, Parallel Passion and Parallel Silence).

Susan is now 39 years old. I imagine Susan to look a bit like the actress Felicia Day (with glasses). Amelia Rose Harkness (Lia) is now 15 years old. [Lia is pronounced LE-A.] Lia's first body's theme song is Freedom Ship (Battlecry) by: Two Steps From Hell. I imagine Amelia to look like a younger version of Felicia Day, with green eyes.

This story will have a total of 35 chapters. This story will be updated every Monday and Friday, unless I can't get onto the website for some odd reason.

Asylum of the Daleks- Part 1

Susan's POV

I groaned as I sat up and rubbed my forehead, "What happened?" I asked. Then I looked around the room. It was a white room with windows on the right far wall, which showed space and what looked to be a fleet of Daleks.

I swallowed and looked around to see Amy and Rory lying on the floor a little ways off to my right and to my left, "Jack! Lia!" I gasped, seeing my husband and daughter unconscious on the floor. I scrambled up and went over to them.

I first checked the pulse on Jack. He had none so I concluded he must have put up a fight and hopefully he would wake up in a minute. I moved onto Amelia, or Lia, as Lia had taken to calling herself. I checked her pulse and found a steady one.

I breathed in a sigh of relief. Lia's face twisted in pain and she groaned and shot up. "Mum!" Lia gasped, "Where am I? What happened?"

I placed a hand on her right arm, "Calm down, Lia. Everything's fine."

Lia turned her head to me, "Mum? But, you collapsed!" It was then that Lia saw a lifeless Jack, "Dad!"

"It's alright, sweetheart. He's fine." I said in a soothing tone. I had already figured out where we were. It was the beginning of series seven. As I finished 'fine', Jack took a deep breath and began coughing and sat up.

"Ugg. I'd forgotten how that feels." Jack said, rubbing the back of his neck with his hands, "Susan, Lia!" He exclaimed, after remembering what happened, lunging forward and hugging us.

I laughed, "We're fine, dear."

As I was checking over Jack for injuries, Lia said in a cautious tone, "Mum, Dad, where are we and why does it look like we are in space?"

Jack and I glanced at each other and stood up, "That's because we are." I said.

Lia turned around and looked at me in shock, "I've heard stories, but never believed it was…." Lia trailed off.

"True." Jack finished.

"Yeah." Lia said, staring out into space, "Who are they?" Lia said, pointing to an still unconscious Rory and Amelia Pond.

"Amelia and Rory Pond." Jack said, carefully, "You're Godparents."

"I was named after her, right?" Lia asked, stepping cautiously closer to Amy.

"Yes." I said.

"Their young." Lia replied dryly.

A groan made Lia jump back in alarm, "Ow, my head." Amy said, sitting up, and looking around, "Susan! Jack!"

I grimaced, "Hey Amy."

"You were dead." Amy said sharply, causing Lia to gape at me.

"Didn't River tell you how we survived?" I asked.

"Don't answer my question with another question." Amy snapped, standing up and crossing her arms.

"Don't you remember? It was that shot of Jack's blood that saved me." I replied.

"Mum?" Lia asked.

At Lia's voice, Amy turned around sharply and stared at my daughter, her mouth opening and closing, but no sound coming out, "H-How long has it been for you?"

I glanced at Amelia Rose, who's eyes were wide, looking between Amy and me, "Fifteen years."

"Fifteen years." Amy echoed.

Rory wakes up with a small groan and stands up, looking around, "Where are we?" Then Rory looked at Lia, puzzled, "Who is she?"

"Rory, meet Amelia Rose Harkness. My daughter."

Rory's mouth dropped open, "Wha-" Then Rory saw out the window and looked at the massive Dalek fleet, "So, how much trouble are we in?"

The door opens and a Dalek enters. I stepped closer to Lia, "How much trouble, Mister Pond?" The Doctor asked from the hallway and walked in, under escort, "Out of ten? Eleven."

"Doctor!" Lia cries in astonishment. The Doctor kept his face impassive, but discreetly nodded at Lia.

The ceiling opens and the floor rises, lifting us into the Dalek Parliament. The Dalek Parliament is large domed area with a multitude of Daleks in tiers around them, and the White Supreme Dalek nearby, along with an organic Dalek and the Tardis.

"Where are we? A spaceship, right?" Lia asked, looking around in amazement and fear.

"Not just any spaceship. The Parliament of the Daleks. Be brave." The Doctor said to Lia.

"What do we do?" Amy asked.

"Make them remember you. Well, come on then. You've got me." The Doctor spreads his arms out wide, "What are you waiting for? At long last, it's Christmas! Here I am." The Doctor closes his eyes tight, expecting to die.

The PM Dalek speaks, "SAVE US. YOU WILL SAVE US."

The Doctor cracks his eyes open, "I'll what?"

"YOU WILL SAVE THE DALEKS."

The Daleks began to chant, "SAVE THE DALEKS! SAVE THE DALEKS! SAVE THE DALEKS! SAVE THE DALEKS! SAVE THE DALEKS! SAVE THE DALEKS!"

"Well." The Doctor said, stunned.

"SAVE THE DALEKS!"

"This is new." Jack said. I sighed and leaned against him, Jack wrapped his arms around me.


The Doctor has walked to a place on the floor and was looking around the room. I crossed the short distance to my daughter and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. She shrugged it off and walked over to Amy and Rory. I tried not to show the hurt on my face.

Jack moved next to me. Let her calm down. She's still in shock.

But we told her! We told her about our adventures, about the Tardis. Why wouldn't she believe us?

Jack moved a free strand of hair out of my face and behind my ear. Probably because we wouldn't let her see the Tardis or leave the planet. All those stories, were just stories to her and now, all of a sudden, it's real.

I sighed and leaned into Jack, ignoring Amy, Rory and Lia talking together, "I just hope our teaching was enough."

Jack kissed my head, "Me too."

"WE HAVE ARRIVED." The Dalek PM said, making Lia jump.

"Arrived where?" I asked.

"Doctor." The PM said.

"The Prime Minister will speak with you now." Darla said to The Doctor.

"Do you remember who you were before they emptied you out and turned you into their puppet?" The Doctor asked.

"My memories are only reactivated if they are required to facilitate cover or disguise." Darla responded.

"You had a daughter."

"I know." Darla said coldly, "I've read my file."

The Doctor walks up to the Prime Minister, who is the organic Dalek, "Well?"

"What do you know of the Dalek Asylum?" The PM asked.

"According to legend, you have a dumping ground. A planet where you lock up all the Daleks that go wrong. The battle-scarred, the insane, the ones even you can't control. It's never made any sense to me." The Doctor said.

"Why not?"

"Because you'd just kill them." The Doctor said flatly.

"It is offensive to us to extinguish such divine hatred."

"Offensive?" The Doctor asked.

"Does it surprise you to know the Daleks have a concept of beauty?"

"I thought you'd run out of ways to make me sick. Hello again. You think hatred is beautiful."

"Perhaps that is why we have never been able to kill you." The PM says. A hole opens in the middle of the floor. The Doctor and Darla walk back to it. A planet is visible.

"The Asylum. It occupies the entire planet, right to the core." Darla says.

"How many Daleks are in there?"

"A count has not been made. Millions, certainly."

"All still alive?"

"It has to be assumed. The Asylum is fully automated. Supervision is not required."

"Armed?" Amy asked.

"The Daleks are always armed." Darla replied.

"What colour?" Rory asked and everyone looked at him, "I'm sorry, there weren't any good questions left."

"I thought it was a good one." Lia said and Rory smiled at her.

"This signal is being received from the very heart of the Asylum."

Carmen comes over the speakers.

"WHAT IS THE NOISE? EXPLAIN? EXPLAIN?" A White Dalek shouts.

"Er, it's me." The Doctor said.

"Sorry, what?" Lia asked.

"It's me, playing the triangle. Okay, I got buried in the mix. Carmen. Lovely show. Someone's transmitting this. Have you considered tracking back the signal and talking to them?"

"Hello? Hello? Carmen." The Doctor said, "Hello? Come in. Come in. Come in, Carmen."

"Hello! Yes, yes, sorry. Do you read me?" Comes Oswin's voice over the loudspeakers.

I sighed and whispered, "Clara."

"Yes, reading you loud and clear. Identify yourself and report your status."

"Hello. Are you real? Are you actually, properly, real?"

"Yes, confirmed. Actually, properly, real." The Doctor said.

"Oswin Oswald, junior entertainment officer, star ship Alaska. Current status, crashed and shipwrecked somewhere not nice. Been here a year, rest of the crew missing. Provisions good but keen to move on."

"A year? Are you okay? Are you under attack?"

"Some local lifeforms. Been keeping them out."

"Do you know what those lifeforms are?" The Doctor asked.

"I know a Dalek when I hear one, yeah." Oswin said.

"What have you been doing on your own against the Daleks for a year?"

"Making soufflés?"

"Soufflés? Against the Daleks? Where'd you get the milk?" The Doctor asked.

"THIS CONVERSATION IS IRRELEVANT." The White Dalek said.

The Doctor spun around to face the Dalek, "No, it isn't."

"Because a star-liner has crashed into your Asylum, and someone's got in. And if someone can get in, then everything can get out. A tsunami of insane Daleks. Even you don't want that."

"THE ASYLUM MUST BE CLEANSED." The White Dalek said.

"Then why is it still here? You've enough firepower on this ship to blast it out of the sky." The Doctor asked.

"The Asylum forcefield is impenetrable." Darla replied.

The Doctor raised his eyebrows, "Turn it off."

"It can only be turned off from within the Asylum." Darla said.

"A small task force could sneak through a forcefield. Send in a couple of Daleks. Oh." The Doctor starts applauding, "Oh. Oh, that's good. That's brilliant. You're all too scared to go down there. Not one of you will go, so tell me, what do the Daleks do when they're too scared?"

"THE IMMORTAL ONE AND THE PREDATOR OF THE DALEKS WILL BE DEPLOYED."

"You don't have a Predator and you are certainly not immortal. Even if you did, why would they turn off a forcefield for you?" The Doctor asked.

"Because you will have no other means of escape." The PM said.

"May I clarify? The Predator is the Dalek's word for you, Doctor and The Immortal is Captain Jack Harkness."

"Immortal?" Echoed Lia, looking shocked and pale, at her father.

"Me? Me?" The Doctor asked.

"You will need this. It will protect you from the nanocloud." Two humanoids put a wristband on the Doctor's wrist and my husband's.

"The what? The nano what?" The Doctor asked.

"The gravity beam will convey you close to the source of the transmission. You must find a way to deactivate the forcefield from there." Darla said.

"You're going to fire me at a planet? That's your plan? I get fired at a planet and expected to fix it." The Doctor said.

"In fairness, that is slightly your M.O." Rory said.

"Don't be fair to the Daleks when they're firing me at a planet." The Doctor said.

Rory, Amy, Lia, and I all have wristbands put on us too.

"What do you want with them?" The Doctor asked.

"THEY ARE YOUR INCENTIVE." The White Dalek said.

Four humanoids come and grab Amy, Rory, my daughter and I to the hole in the floor.

"Let me go!" Lia yelled, struggling against the grips.

"Lia, Susan!" Jack yelled, running forward but restrained by a forcefield that surrounded him and The Doctor, "Let me through!"

"Amy, Rory!" The Doctor yelled.

"Lia!" I cried as she was shoved, screaming, into the hole. Making a decision on the spot, I jumped in after her, my husband screaming my name still echoing in my head.

In the stream, I caught up to Amelia and wrapped my arms around her, "Don't let go!" I yelled.

"I wasn't planning to!" Lia yelled back.

I looked up and saw Amy and Rory screaming above us and Rory was facing the wrong way, "Wrong way! Wrong way up!"

The stream split, taking Lia and I off to one side and Amy and Rory off into another. I twisted so that my back was to the ground when we hit, causing Lia to land on me. I moaned softly as Lia's body slammed onto me in full force.

Lia rolled off me and stood up, not helping me up and spun around, looking at the snow covered planet with wild eyes. I got up and asked, "Are you okay sweetheart?"

Lia spun on me, "Okay? OKAY? I got shot down to a hostile PLANET by the Daleks! Then I find out that my father is immortal! Just when were you planning on telling me?"

I swallowed. Oh she was pissed, "Lia, listen-"

"No, you listen! Why the hell didn't you tell me?"

A flicker of pain crossed my face but I quickly hid it, "We were going to tell you when you turned eighteen."

"Eighteen?!" Lia screeched. She threw her hands up, "I would storm away but I have no clue where we are!"

I heard a noise and saw that one more beam came down from the sky, were I knew the Dalek Parliament was and shot down near us. That could only mean one thing, Jack and the Doctor had followed us, "Jack!" I yelled, running in the direction the beams hit with Lia running behind me.

I came over a hill and saw Jack lying on the ground, slowly getting up. I ran to him, "Jack!" I cried and flung my arms around him. Jack smiled and drew me in for a kiss.

"Eww." Lia said, disgusted, which turned to concern as she said, "Have we realized who is missing? We Aren't Amy and Rory sent down with Mum and I? What about The Doctor, Dad? Did he jump with you?"

We turned and looked at our daughter, "You're right."

"Of course I'm right." Lia muttered.

"What was that?" I asked sharply?

"Nothing!" Amelia said rather quickly.

"Uhhuh." I said. Then I yelled, "Doctor! Amy! Rory!"

Nothing.

"This isn't good." Lia remarked.

"We need to move. We don't know where the Daleks are on this planet or if their weapons are inactive or not." Jack said, "If they are, we are in big trouble. We don't have any weapons on us."

"Oh goody." Lia remarked sarcastically, "We're trapped on an hostile planet, without weapons, are lost, and on top of all that, have no clue if the others are alright. Fun."

"That's just how we like it, don't we, Jack?" I asked, smiling up at my husband, "Oh, I've missed this."

Lia looked at me like I was crazy, "You've MISSED this?! You're out of your mind!"

"Perhaps." I said and looped my arm through Jack's right, "Shall we?"

Jack smiled at me, "We shall."

Lia made gagging noises in the background.


We had been walking for a while when we heard Lia say, "Mum, Dad, what's that?"

I turned around to see Amelia pointing her finger at the eyepiece of a Dalek stick that had popped out of the snow. Immediately Jack ran over to Lia and drew her back from it. It spins around, seemingly looking at all three of us, then it plays Carmen, the same song that we heard from the Parliament Dalek ship.

"Wrong switch, Oswin." I remarked lightly.

We heard Oswin's voice say, "Sorry, sorry. Pressed the wrong switch."

"How did you know it was her?" Lia asked me suspiciously.

I rolled my eyes, "I always know. So, Soufflé girl, how are you doing that? This is Dalek technology."

"You can always call me Oswin, seeing as that's my name. Concerning the Dalek technology, it's very easy to hack."

"No, it isn't, I should know. Where are you?"

"The ship broke up when it hit. Somewhere underground, I think. You coming to get me?" Oswin asked.

There was static and Oswin's voice was cutting in and out, making it difficult for us to understand her.

"You're breaking up!" I called.

"Doctor! Amy, Rory!" Lia yelled, still calling for them.

A humanoid walked over one of this hills, "There was another beam. There. Over there. Are you the rescue team?"

At the sight of him, I immediately tensed, remembering what he was from the show, "Could you take us there?" Jack asked.

"Of course." The man said, "My name's Harvey."

"We came down two days ago. There's twelve of our escape pods. I don't know what happened to them." Harvey said.

"Alaska? That's the same ship as soufflé girl." Lia said.

Harvey opens a hatch covered in snow.

Jack narrowed his eyes, "Yeah. Except she's been here a year."
