EDIT: For some really odd reason FF deleted half of the Doctor's lines when he's speaking like the Flash. Sorry bout that. I don't think it approved. :/
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Doctor Who OR Young Justice. Just a fan-story. :)
This is my first doctor who/young justice fan fiction. ^^ Hope you guys like it!
ALLONS-Y!
"Who are you?" Aqualad asked for the fourth time. This man, who had appeared out of nowhere, by-passed their security systems and had snatched a cookie off the kitchen bench on his way past was completely ignoring the Team.
"Of course…" he whispered, looking very intently at the silver and bronze pen-like device in his hand. The arms attached to the tip of the gadget were spread open like jaws, revealing a small crystal inside, which was glowing a soft emerald green in the dim room.
"But what are you doing here…?" he asked himself, pressing a button on the device which made the arms close suddenly. He looked up slowly at Aqualad, realisation lighting up his eyes and CAUGHT written all over his face.
"Oh, hi," he said, grinning from ear to ear.
"Who are you?" Aqualad repeated for a fifth time, using a bit more force in his tone than he would usually have liked to.
"I'm the Doctor," he said, rising up from the crouching position he had previously been in. Aqualad raised an eyebrow, but, on assuming it was some sort of either hero or villain name, he let it drop.
"How'd you get in here?" Robin interjected. The Doctor looked like he was about to say something witty, but obviously thought twice about it when he saw Artemis with her bow and arrow at the ready. He quickly glanced back down at the pen-like device in his hand and sighed.
"I'd love to chat, but unfortunately we've got bigger problems."
Aqualad blinked, clearly not impressed. His sapphire blue eyes narrowed, "You appeared out of nowhere, by-passed all of our security systems and ignored us for a full three minutes. I hope you can see why we're not going to let you go without some answers."
"And stole a cookie!" Kid Flash added in obvious dismay. Artemis looked like she was about to elbow him in the side when she realised that she couldn't with the bow in her hands, so she settled for a withering glare instead.
"Alright then…" he said. The man intook a deep breath and babbled on for about a minute at a rate too fast for anyone to understand. He eventually slowed down, "But that's not the point. The point is that they've either been here recently or they're here right now and if you don't let me pass they'll kill us all. Understand?"
The Team just blinked. Except Kid Flash.
"But what are Cybermen?" he asked.
"You understood that?" Artemis asked flatly.
"It's Flash-speak," Robin replied under his breath. Everyone, except Kid Flash and the Doctor, who weren't listening, nodded in understanding.
"Imagine robots that want to kill everyone on this planet," he said. Kid Flash's eyes widened, but he nodded.
"Except that they're nothing like that," the Doctor added. Kid Flash furrowed his brow.
"Cybermen are actually cyborgs – part human, mostly metal – that want to make every human being like them. Anyone who either isn't compatible or gets in their way will be killed."
"And these… Cybermen are here?" Aqualad asked, trying to keep any hint of fear from his voice.
"Either that or they've been here recently. I'm hoping for the latter."
"What do they look like?" Miss Martian asked.
"DELETE."
The Doctor looked over his shoulder as some kind of robot hissed towards them. A small gun rose from its wrist.
"You are not compatible. You will be deleted."
"I'd say something like that…" Robin said.
The Doctor ducked down as it fired a ray gun at him. Almost instantly he threw up his hands.
"We surrender!"
"You are rouge elements."
"But we surrender!"
"You are incompatible."
"But this is a surrender!"
"You will all be deleted."
"But we're surrendering! LISTEN TO ME!" he said, beating his chest with his hands.
"You are inferior. You will be deleted."
It was then the Team realised two more of the Cybermen had appeared. Aqualad, who had previously been standing in complete shock, suddenly got himself together and dragged the Doctor backwards.
"RETREAT!" he shouted. The Team looked back at him in shock. Aqualad wasn't one to back down from a fight.
"Trust me!" he said desperately, "This is a fight we CANNOT WIN."
"Your logic is correct," the first Cybermen said, "You are inferior. You will be deleted."
Suddenly the Cybermen started shooting at the Team, though it seemed they were mainly aiming for the Doctor.
"RUN!" the Doctor and Aqualad shouted at once. The Team finally obeyed and they dashed off, Kid Flash taking the lead. The young hero seemed to be taking them in the direction of the zeta tubes.
However, when they got into the main room they saw that their exits were blocked by more of the cyborgs.
"Dammit," Superboy swore, looking around frantically for another exit.
"Come on!" The Doctor said, "I know a way out!"
The Team, not really having any other choice, followed him.
Luckily for them the Cybermen were not terribly fast, but their monotone voices could still be heard. They past the kitchen and rounded a corner to see a blue police box in the centre of the room. The Doctor ran over to it and dragged a key out of his pocket.
"Is… is this the TARDIS you were talking about?" Kid Flash asked. The Doctor nodded swiftly and opened the doors.
"Come on!"
The Team walked cautiously over to it, all of them doing a double take when they saw what was on the inside.
"DELETE."
As the Cybermen's voices came steadily closer, the Doctor started to panic.
Robin was probably the most astounded, "It's bigger on the-"
"I KNOW!" the Doctor shouted, shoving everyone inside. Usually he'd rather enjoy seeing the confusion on a person's face, but perhaps not so much when there were Cybermen behind them. He pulled the doors shut and ran over to the console.
The Doctor flew around madly, pulling levers and pushing buttons. After a few frantic seconds he pulled a screen around so he could see it. It seemed to be receiving footage from outside. A monitor?
Whatever it was, it was showing that the Cybermen were right outside the doors.
"GERONIMO!" he shouted, pulling down a final lever, "I suggest you brace yourselves!"
A loud wheezing noise started up, and the machine they were in, supposedly called the TARDIS, rocked back and forth. The Doctor grabbed onto the console, while the Team grappled for the railing on the staircases.
After several seconds it all abruptly stopped.
"What… what was that all about?" Miss Martian asked shakily, still holding onto Superboy with one arm.
"Let's see where we are, shall we?" the Doctor said, dragging the monitor back towards him, "Hmm? Why'd you bring us here, old girl?"
"What are you talking about?" Robin asked. Kid Flash dashed over to the Doctor.
"Time and relative dimensions in space… this thing can travel in space and time, can't it?" Kid Flash summarised. The Doctor looked down at the red-head and pouted.
"Yes, spoil-sport. God, you're so much like Rory. Even your eyes are the same colour. I mean, yours are brighter, but still…"
"Who's Rory?"
"Uhh… an old friend…"
"So we've travelled," Robin said, deliberately changing the subject and getting up, "To where?"
"See for yourself," the Doctor said, moving towards the doors. Robin walked over, the rest of the Team following him, and opened them.
Outside was a huge cave.
"Oh my…" Robin started, his jaw dropping.
"Where are we?" Artemis asked, poking her head out of the doors.
"Guys," Robin started, his voice faltering for a moment, "Welcome to the Batcave."
Hopefully you enjoyed. ^^ Reviews & constructive critism are appreciated!
