The Doctor was running about the control room in a mad huff, no one was with him. It was just him and his TARDIS, alone, like it always was at the end of the day. A bright light engulfed the room, when the light vanished, a woman with long black hair appeared. She wore a light blue shirt under a long brown coat and she had worn skinny jeans on. He looked at her with slight confusion, before furring his eyebrows together."I'm mid travel how did you get here?" He questioned adjusting his bow tie while asking. She raised a brow at that notion.
"That's not a good color on you, Doctor. And you know I'm kind of offended you don't recognize the coat." She spoke with a light time as she walked towards him. He looked shocked, he knew that voice anywhere."Alexandra Scott!" He exclaimed as he pulled her into a hug. She smiled at him and allowed him to cradle her in his arms.
"Doctor!" Alexandra proclaimed happily when he let go of her. "Look at you, all grown, how old are you now little one?" He asked his eyes were soft for a moment as he looked at her.
"I'm twenty-six as of yesterday… I think…" She trailed off sheepishly, rubbing the back of her head with ease. "Never mind that, where have you come from? Where are we?" He asked as he put the TARDIS on autopilot.
"I've been with a younger version of you, gave me the coat. Since this same coat was burnt last time I saw you. At least a fez was destroyed as well." She said with a calm expression wrapping the coat around her more tightly. The Doctor made a face at her, and she stuck her tongue out at him.
"Such a child.." He replied humorously, Alexandra laughed her blue eyes shown with a light he hadn't seen in a long time.
"You're one to talk Doctor, I've met three different versions of you and you all behave like such children." She said with a small laugh, Alexandra looked around the TARDIS.
"Where are Amy and Rory? How long have you been alone?" She asked her eyes narrowed at him, he raised his hands up in defense.
"I just took them back home a hour ago, I promise I have been alone long." He said with a sheepish expression.
Alexandra face soften, she looked at him with a contemplative smile. "May we go see them; I haven't seen them in such a long time." She said thinking back to where she had really come from, the Angels, their death and his tears. She knew she couldn't tell him his future and it hurt her so much. He was her best friend and she couldn't prepare him for what was to come at all. The Doctor notice her dazed expression but elected to say nothing, he knew she wouldn't tell him at all.
"Alright, to the Ponds!" He exclaimed excitedly, taking the TARDIS out of autopilot and setting the coordinate to the Ponds residence.
….
Rory was in the kitchen cooking dinner when he heard it; suddenly he heard the stairs creaking. Amy was at the kitchen door soon after. "You hear that?" She asked him.
"Uh hun." Rory nodded his head, soon after the TARDIS materialized between the two. The doors opened and a blacked haired girl stepped out, she looked back at the Doctor with a scowl."Doctor!" She exclaimed exasperated."What?!" He questioned as he followed her out and looked around, then made a face.
"Oh.." He trailed off then disappeared back into the TARDIS, the woman did not follow him as the doors shut and the TARDIS dematerialized. Both Amy and Rory looked at the woman in shock.
"Alexia?" Amy questioned while looking at her with a shocked expression. "Amelia Pond and Rory the Roman. Come here you two." She smiled at them then pulled them both close to her.
"Alex, are you okay?" Rory asked once she let them go, he noticed the water in her eyes. She whipped the liquid from her eyes with a smile.
"Yah I'm fine, just glad to see you both. It's been a long time for me since I've seen you to." Alive… She thought the last part silently. They both nodded their head at her, the Doctor walked through the kitchen door.
"She's been with the me, before I met you." The Doctor explained from the doorframe.
"Yah been there for a while missed my surrogate parents. Where have we been at this point, when was the last time you saw me? How old was i?" She questioned running her hand through her hair.
"The Pandorica, you were 24. How old are you now?" Rory asked as they made their way to the living room.
"Twenty-Six, I think. It's been awhile for you as well. Can't control that, sorry." She told them as she took a seat in the arm chair, the Doctor sat on the arm of the chair and Amy and Rory sat on the couch they looked at each other.
"That was only a few months ago for us, where have you been Alexia?" Amy asked her curiously.
"I've been with his tenth reincarnation, got my favorite coat back." She smiled as she spoke pulling the coat around her tighter.
"Ugh! I still can't believe you used to where that thing, it might be worse than the boaw tie." Amy stated, the Doctor looked offended.
"Hey! People liked that coat, I liked that coat. That coat was cool." Alexandra rolled her eyes at the both of them; it felt so good to be back with this Doctor and these two companions. The Doctor notice her smile, it was different than he'd seen it before, she looked as if she'd gone through something painful and that whatever was going on now was beginning to heal the pain.
"Alright enough sitting around, let's go whole big world to see!" The Doctor exclaimed and Alexandra rolled her eyes at him again.
"You are a child in a grown man's skin." She told him following him out of the room, Amy and Rory hot on their trail.
…..
Alexandra had vanished from the TARDIS as soon as the boarded her. She was now sitting next to River Song on the banks of Lake Silencio in Utah. Her mind wondered to where she had been, she looked at Amy and Rory with such sadness. River recognized that look, oh how she knew that look well.
"What have you learned?" The blonde woman whispered to her younger friend.
"Manhattan." Were the only words she muttered, but she hoped that River would understand her meaning. The look of realization dawned on her face; she offered the other woman a understanding look.
"I'm sorry." River whispered to the other woman. Alexandra nodded her head in acknowledgment, before turning back to the Doctor as he took a sip from a wine bottle.
"You hate wine." She told him plainly snatching the bottle from his hand.
"Hey!" He shouted reaching for the bottle as she took a sip and turned away.
"Napoleon has bad taste." She told him when she set the bottle down; a smirk was plastered on her face. The Doctor huffed.
"Um... what's that?" Rory asked, an astronaut surfaced in the water.
"What ever happens, don't try to stop it. You understand." The Doctor said standing, Alexandra frowned she knew what was about to happen. A portion of this event had happened already to her when she was younger, 16 maybe, she couldn't remember exactly it had been awhile.
The Doctor walked down to the lake, Alexandra held her breath she knew this wouldn't end well. He spoke to the suit, and then it shot him, the golden light of regeneration began to leak from his skin but the suit shot him mid regeneration and he fell to the ground. They rushed forward with urgency; River and Alexandra were first to his body. A light surrounded Alexandra, and she let out a frustrated growl.
"You can't do this, now is not a good ti-"She was gone. A scream sounded behind them a much younger Alexandra was running towards them, she'd seen herself vanish and she ran down to her family.
"Oh no." River muttered as she caught the girl with ease. This meant the Alexandra that had just been here knew what was going on.
"Alex sweaty how old are you?" Rory finally asked as the girl whipped away tears from her eyes the Doctor was dead.
"I'm fifteen; sorry today's been really awful. The Doctor I was just with regenerated and I've been teleported to him dead." She started crying again. Alexandra buried her face into River's hair; soon they would have to burn the Doctor.
…
Twenty Six years old Alexandra appeared inside a very dark TARDIS, it was also possibly about to crash. The Doctor was nowhere to be seen, until she heard a groan. She looked under the console and their he lie the Doctor in all his large eared glory. Alexandra had only ever met this version a few times and he always seemed so shocked to see her. It never really made any since.
"Doctor?" She questioned but he was responding, the TARDIS was losing power and it didn't have a conscious Time Lord. Her hands began to glow, the TARDIS was absorbing it's power back from her. So this was going to be it then.
"Who are you?" A groggy voice questioned, the Time Lord sat up.
"Hello Doctor, you don't know me yet, I'm sure of it. But one day you will." She told him, as she placed her hands on the TARDIS console. He raised his brow at her.
"What are you doing to my TARDIS?" He questioned angrily, pushing her away from the console.
"I'm fixing her, you've just come from war, and you have freshly regenerated. Let me help you." She urged him trying to get past him to the console, the TARDIS needed the vortex back.
"I don't know who you are, and I don't need your help." He shouted.
"I'm Alexandra Scott, now shut up, because I'm twenty-six years old and I am very upset. Now I'm going to save your sorry hide from dying." She pushed him back away from the console; the light started pouring from her hands as she began to restart the TARDIS.
This is not going to end well… She heard the TARDIS speak to her, she shook her head silently. 'I know ol girl, I know.' She mused to herself glancing over at the baffled Doctor before smiling at him.
"You know something, you're my best friend, and you are an extraordinary man. Now come here you and help me stabilize ol girl, she needs our help." Alexandra spoke softly to him, he noticed the color draining from her face as she spoke. Something inside him knew, he knew she wasn't going to survive this.
"It will be alright Doctor; you have many more times with me ahead. This just is my final adventure." She muttered to herself, her body was growing weaker.
"What do you need me to do?" He asked her.
"Pull the lever to the left, I need you to open up the mainframe, the TARDIS needs something I have." And he did just that, the heart of the TARDIS opened and light shoot through Alexandra's chest and poured into the heart.
"What are you doing?!" The Doctor shouted again, this time he was concerned for her.
"When I was a girl, I fell into the time vortex; I'm a fixed point in your time line. You'll be seeing lots of me. This is just the last time I get to see you. My Doctor." She smiled at him before falling to the floor; she had no more energy to stand. He leaned down to her, taking her hand in his.
"You must have been very brave." He comforted her she smiled at him as the last little bit of light poured into his TARDIS. She let out a very small laugh.
"Brave? I've been afraid very afraid for the last twenty years, but you were always there to comfort your little Alexandra Scott. Which means you always knew, you knew I was going to save the TARDIS and you." Her eyes began to close.
"Hold on just one more moment, please, tell me about those times." He begged her, she'd saved him and the TARDIS and he had been rude a first.
"I can't, you know that Theta. You gave me this locket you know, on my birthday." Her voice began to lose volume; he ran his fingers across her face. His eyes looked down at her locket, it was circular Gallifryan for the word 'Hope'.
"It's been a blast Doctor, thank you." Her eyes closed, and she died with a smile on her face. She had lived, and died with her Doctor.
