Welcome!
I'm gonna try something a little different, my Oc is gonna be based on an anime character called Yukina off Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress having the same lithe muscular build look her up if you wanna see what her build looks like. I'll put it on my cover to make things easier along with her main outfit once she joins the Doctor on his travels.
SUMMARY: Athena Hailway was not your average girl she was more into making and fixing stuff, always tinkering with something and had a love of steampunk. She was visiting her penpal's mother in England at Christmas when she met some madman called the Doctor, well, her life is not boring now!
I'll be showing bits and piece if my Oc's past as the story goes on, she'll start off as a serious type to counter the Doctor. She'll definitely try to keep him in check, how will the Doctor handle this tough lady?
I do NOT own Doctor Who, only my Oc and story idea.
Chapter 1: Christmas Invasion Part 1
LONDON, POWELL ESTATE
1 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS
Jackie sighs as she stood in her living room as she put up the decorations on the tree, she looked the tree over as she added another red orb. She would normally be full of Christmas spirit in decorating the tree but this year, well, it was different.
Her daughter, Rose, had been missing ever since she vanished in that alien ship trying to save its alien captain. Jackie just wished and hoped her daughter was safe, but that little voice in the back of her head always spoke up reminding her that what if something had gone wrong?
Shaking her head Jackie went over and picked up a present that was labeled for her daughter, all she could do was hope. She was not gonna give up on her daughter, Rose was a Tyler after all and Tyler were both stubborn and tough.
"Jackie?" A voice said snapping Jackie from her thoughts as she looked over to the owner of the voice.
The owner of the voice was a young woman around 22-years-old, she had shoulder length dark red hair that was almost scarlet red. Her skin was lightly tanned as she stood under the light of the house, her violet eyes watched Jackie with a small amount of worry compared to her currently neutral facial expression. Her body build was lithe yet muscular with curves in the right places and a chest that fitted her build, her clothing was currently a red wool jumper with blue baggy jeans and brown steel-toed boots with a brown belt and her hair done up in a ponytail.
(Look online for Yukina to get her facial features and structure that is what my Oc's face looks like, along with Yukina's body build or in simple terms a real-life human version of Yukina just use your imagination! Except with the changes I made, just go with it, please? You all know what I'm getting at right?)
This young woman was Athena Hailway, a friend of Rose who used to live in England before her family moved to America. They kept in touch up until Rose started traveling with the Doctor, Athena who after seeing the news on all of the alien stuff decided to move back and visit her friend.
Jackie when she first saw Athena was amazed, she remembered when Athena was just a small and skinny little 5-year-old. Now, she had grown into a woman with a body and mind to be proud of! She had a talent for anything to do with machines and she put that to use, she could fix almost anything if she put her mind to it. She had also told Jackie about her self-defense lesson's and the army camp training she went to in order to learn about military equipment to learn how to fix and repair them. Heck! The army nearly wanted to keep her she was that good! But they respected her wishes and let her go but they had a spot open for her in case she wanted to join up.
Jackie smiles saying "I'm fine, just daydreaming," She then went and placed the present under the tree next to Athena's present.
Athena gave a small smile as she walked over and gave Jackie a hug, she had to be careful since she was stronger than Jackie now. Her engineering and self-defense classes sure do put a lot of muscle on a girl, she pulled back from the hug.
"If you need a talk, let me know, I'm right here," Athena said making Jackie nod.
When Athena first visited her Jackie had debated with herself on whether or not to tell Rose's childhood friend of the Alien events or about Rose traveling around space and time, she had kept quiet for a few days until the stress and worry of it all cause her to break down and tell Athena about Rose and the Doctor.
FLASHBACK
Jackie stood in the living room as she paced, worry on her face as tears gathered in her eyes. Her whole body was tense as she bit her thumb, what was she going to do? Was her daughter safe? Where was she right now?!
"I'm back, I've got the coffee you needed," Athena said as she entered the flat with a tin of coffee in hand.
She then spotted Jackie pacing in the living room making her narrow her eyes, she saw the stress lines and worry on Jackie's face. She walked over while Jackie came to a stop.
"Jackie? Is anything wrong?" Athena asked as Jackie turned to face her.
"Oh! I can't!" Jackie said confusing Athena.
"Can't what? What's wrong Jackie?" Athena asked walking over to Jackie to hold her arms.
Only to jump as Jackie grabbed a hold of her shoulders and fell to her knees taking Athena with her as she broke down crying, Athena dropped the coffee tin and held Jackie as she cried.
"Jackie?" Athena asked confused and worried for her Aunt figure, was this linked to Rose? Was it why she had not seen or heard from her recently?
Jackie kept crying as she started to tell Athena about Rose and the alien man known as the Doctor.
END OF FLASHBACK
Just having Athena there to listen and talk to was a big help for Jackie, she was less stressed but she still worried about Rose.
Athena smiles as she took a step back from Jackie, she was about to help her with the decorations when a faint noise reached her ears.
'What the?' Athena thought what kind of noise was that?
It got louder making Jackie gasp yelling "Rose!" She then took off before Athena could ask her what she meant.
"Jackie!" Athena yelled running after her.
She followed Jackie outside the flats where they ran into Mickey who was looking around at the sky, Athena had a lot of respect to Mickey. He was an honest lad and had potential, she had taken him under her wing and taught him about machines and advanced hacking. Yes, she did hack stuff but that was their little secret.
"Mickey!" Jackie yelled looking around as well.
"Jackie, Athena, it's the Tardis!" Mickey said as Jackie frantically nods.
"I know! I know! I heard it!" Jackie said looking around.
"The Tardis? That's the sound it makes?" Athena asked as she looked around the area, didn't it normal appear out of thin air like Jackie told her?
"She's alive, Mickey! I said so, didn't I? She's alive!" Jackie said in joy as Mickey nods.
Mickey held a finger to his lips saying "Just shut up a minute,"
"Well, where is it then?" Athena asked looking for the blue box.
She jumped as a strange noise made her turn to see said blue box appear in mid-air and fly into a building, she watched as it crashed into the building near them making her quickly move to cover Jackie and Mickey with her own body as the blue box crashed into two more buildings while bearly avoiding a post van before crashing into some waste bins.
Getting off Jackie and Mickey she asked: "That was the Tardis?"
She was ignored as Jackie and Mickey ran over to the blue box, she ran after them easily keeping up as the door opens to show a man with big brown hair and brown eyes. That did not look like the man Jackie and Mickey had described to her.
"Here we are then, London! Earth, the Solar System, I did it!" The man said as he stepped out closing the door behind him looking around before spotting Jackie, Mickey, and Athena.
He paused looking at them before saying "Jackie? Mickey? Blimey!" He then pointed at them saying "No, no, no, no, hold on, wait there! I've got something to say,"
He walked around them as the three shared a worried look or in Athena's case a worried and confused look.
"There was something I had to tell you, something important! What was it?" The man said as he moved and grabbed Jackie and Mickey by their shoulders making Athena tense up as she stood between them in front of the man.
"No, hold on, hold on, hold on, shush, shush, shush, shush, Oh! I know!" He then said with a jolt looking at both Mickey and Jackie.
"What?" Athena asked making the man look at her, he paused as if seeing her for the first time then blinking hard as if in a daze.
He then grinned saying "Merry Christmas!" With that, his eyes rolled into the back of his head as he fell forward.
Right into Athena who out of instinct caught him, this also resulted in her stumbling a bit at the sudden catch. She looked down at the man confused, this couldn't be the Doctor from the tales Jackie told her? Could he? Or is it an alien thing?
Athena heard the Tardis door behind her open as a voice asked "What happened? Is he all right?" Looking over her shoulder she saw her penpal, Rose Tyler.
Holy smokes, she looked way different to when she last saw her! Then again, she had changed a lot herself.
"Rose?" Athena asked making Rose turn to her.
Rose's eyes went wide as she saw the very familiar eyes that she knew belonged to only one person. "Athena?" Rose asked getting a nod.
Rose felt her mind spin a bit, first saving the Doctor, watching him change into a whole new guy! Now, her old penpal was right in front of her! And blimey look at her!
The two are shook from their greeting by Mickey who said "I don't know, he just keeled over, but who is he? Where's the Doctor?"
Rose looked down at the man saying "That's him, right in front of you, that's the Doctor,"
Athena grunts as she moved so the Doctor was upright, his right arm over her shoulder as she held his waist. He was fairly light, she had felt heavier and was glad she did weight lifting to keep fit.
"What do you mean, that's the Doctor? Doctor who?" Jackie asked looking at the Doctor and her daughter.
"Can we discuss this inside? I doubt this guy is in any state to chat," Athena said as Mickey moved to help her carry the Doctor inside and up to Tyler flat.
TYLER FLAT- BEDROOM
Athena sighs as the Doctor was placed in the guest bedroom, which also happened to be her room! She looked around, it was a clean room with a few gadgets here and there. Her 5Kg and 10Kg weights were near her wardrobe for light workouts, a mirror was leaning on the wall as her desk sat under the window.
She looked over at Rose who was sitting on the bed beside the Doctor who Mickey had dressed into some pajamas, she sighs leaning on the wall with her arms crossed and her ankles crossed.
She watched as Jackie came into the room with a stethoscope, she handed it to Rose who didn't take her eyes off the Doctor.
"Here we go, Tina the cleaner's got this lodger, a medical student, and she was fast asleep, so I just took it, though I still say we should take him to the hospital," Jackie said which Athena thought was bad, wasn't this guy an alien?
Rose apparently agreed with her saying "We can't! They'd lock him up, they'd dissect him, one bottle of his blood could change the future of the human race,"
Jackie went to speak only to be shushed by Rose, Athena looked on as Rose put the stethoscope on and leaned over to listen to the Doctor's heart. She then listened to the other side of his chest, Athena raised an eyebrow at this another alien thing?
Rose pulled back taking the stethoscope out saying "Both working,"
Jackie looked at her asked "What do you mean? Both?"
Rose looked at her mother saying "Well, he's got two hearts,"
Athena stayed quiet as she watched the mother and daughter duo, she remembered the days she had little yet playful arguments with her mother.
"Oh, don't be stupid," Jackie scoffed at her daughter before looking at the man in a curious way.
Rose got up and off the bed saying "He has,"
"Anything else he's got two of?" Jackie asked eying the man while Athena smirked wondering that herself.
"Leave him alone," Rose said a little annoyed before leaving the room.
Jackie looked over at Athena who pushed away from the wall. "I'll watch him for ya, go and spend time with Rose," Athena said making Jackie nod in thanks as she got up and left the room.
Athena moved to sit in the chair Jackie was sitting in before she left, she sighs watching the man. He sure knew how to cause trouble, didn't he?
She was about to speak when she saw his mouth open slightly, her eyes went wide as a golden dust like energy left his mouth.
'What the?' Athena thought watching the golden stuff as it floated over to her, she watched as it circled her for a few seconds before flying out of the window.
Athena blinked a few times. "Wha?" She asked quietly leaning slightly to look out the window while wondering what the hell just happened.
'It's an alien thing, just an alien thing' Athena thought as she shook her head as she looked between the man and window. She was not even gonna question it! Not one bit! Nope! Besides, it was hardly time to be asking questions, no matter how badly she wanted them answered.
She leaned back in the chair with a deep breath, this was gonna be one strange Christmas.
A FEW HOURS LATER
Jackie sighs as she moved around the flat doing little odd jobs while Rose and Mickey went out shopping, she was hoping this was going to be a normal Christmas but no! With the Doctor around normal just goes out the window!
Shaking her head Jackie paused to look into Athena's room to see that the young lady had fallen asleep in her hair, her arms crossed and head leaning back on the chair.
Jackie smiled before the phone rang making her leave to go and answer it.
While Jackie answered the phone, Athena twitched in her sleep as she dreamed. While beside her in bed the Doctor slept peacefully, unaware of the redhead mechanic watching over him.
Jackie came into the room with a mug placing it beside Athena as she chatted on the phone to her friend.
"Oh, no, don't come round, darling, no, flat's all topsy-turvy! Athena's tired herself out helping me clean up, yeah, Rose just barges in and litters the place, yeah, no, I'll come round and see you on Boxing day," Jackie said on the phone before leaving the room.
If she had stayed she would have noticed the golden energy leave the Doctor's mouth once more, but, instead of it flying out of the window. The golden energy hovered in the air for a few seconds before flying over to the sleeping Athena.
The energy flew over to Athena and floated above her mouth before seeming to be sucked into her. A golden glow traveled down her neck before vanishing into her chest while a small glow split off and went up and into her head before fading away, all the while Athena slept on unaware of her little energy invasion.
A few minutes later Athena gave a groan as she woke up from her power nap to the smell of coffee, she yawned and stretched a bit making her back pop before relaxing as she grunts.
"Oh, sleeping in a chair, never even fun," Athena said before noticing the coffee beside her.
With a mental thank you to Jackie the young woman picked the mug up and began to drink it, the warm liquid soothing her strangely dry throat.
'Why does my chest feel strange? Am I getting sick?' Athena thought as she put the mug down after finishing the coffee off.
Shaking her head she was about to check on the man known as the Doctor when an all too familiar feeling washed over her, a feeling she knew very well and had saved her many times in the past.
There was danger nearby, very close in fact. Almost like it was...
"Jackie!" Athena yelled as she shot up and ran out of the room.
She arrived in the living room as Rose and Mickey burst into the flat looking panicked, Athena looked around the room taking in everything before spotting something that set her on edge.
'When did Jackie get a green tree?' Athena thought before glancing at Rose as she took the phone from her mother.
"Bev? Yeah, look, it'll have to wait," Rose said before hanging up the phone and putting it down and asking "Right, it's not safe, we've got to get out! Where can we go?"
Athena moved closer to the group as they talked, the tree was setting her on edge. Her body tense as she watched it, it was just a Christmas tree, right?
Athena tilted her head listening to Rose and Jackie talked about places to move the Doctor too, so, something was after the man?
Deciding to speak up she asked "Jackie? When did you replace the tree?"
She knew she got everyone's attention when Rose asked "That's a new tree? Where'd you get it?"
"I thought it was you," Jackie said confused.
"How can it be me?" Rose asked as Athena narrows her eyes at the tree.
"Well, you went shopping, there was a ring at the door, and there it was!" Jackie said looking between her daughter and the tree.
"No, that wasn't me," Rose said looking at the tree as the hairs stood up on the back of Athena's neck.
"Then who was it?" Athena asked only to take a step back as the Christmas tree lights started to turn on as jingle bells started to play
"Oh, you're kidding me," Rose said in disbelief while Athena jumped into action.
"Move!" She yelled as the tree started to spin rapidly making stuff fly around.
Athena quickly grabs a chair to hold the tree back as Mickey screamed "Get out! Go, go! Get out!"
Rose yelled over the panic "We've got to save the Doctor!"
"Athena!" Jackie yelled as she watched the redhead girl fend off the tree.
Athena grunts as the tree destroyed the chair making her back up and run towards Jackie, without thinking she pushed Jackie inside and slammed the door shut before running over and ripping her desk from the wall before placing it against the door.
'This is one way to spend bloody Christmas!' Athena yelled in her head as she heard the killer tree get closer.
Why, oh, why did she even get up this morning?
Done! Sorry about the cliffhanger but I'm feeling a little evil today.
Also, can anyone guess what the regeneration energy was doing to Athena? I'll leave you to guess and theorize.
Until the next chapter, SaberbladePrime signing out!
