A/N: This is my first fic, so please review and enjoy! As it says in the summary, this is an AU where the Doctor takes Oswin from Asylum of the Daleks. I don't own anything!

The Doctor struggled to refrain from gasping when he saw what Oswin truly was. Though he was not surprised, he still had a little hope in him that she would be able to come with him, as she had been such a great help. But, he still had to tell her what she was.

"It's all a dream, Oswin," the Doctor said sadly, "You dreamed it for yourself because the truth was too horrible"

"Where am I?" Oswin asked, horrified.

"Because you are a Dalek," the Doctor hissed.

"I am not a Dalek! I AM NOT A DALEK! I'm human."

The Doctor then proceeded to explain the horrid truth to Oswin, from the ladder he and Amy used to get down to the asylum to the milk and the eggs. At mentioning eggs, something stirred within Oswin, causing her to attempt and exterminate the Doctor. However, she stopped herself at the last second and suppressed the Dalek instinct by asking questions.

"Why do they hate you so much?"

"I fought them many times, and won."

"We have grown stronger in fear of you."

"I know. I tried to stop."

"Then run. I've taken down the force field. The Daleks above have begun their attack. RUN!"

"Oswin, are you…"

"I am Oswin Oswald, I fought the Daleks and I am human. Remember me. RUN!"

"Thank you!" and the Doctor ran off, leaving Oswin, or so she thought. Mere moments later, he returned, "On second thought, I think you need to come with me," and he got behind the surprised Oswin and pushed. Soon, she realized she was being saved, and began to pilot herself, slowly at first, and then began to gain momentum. The Doctor was now running slightly ahead of her, knowing she was right behind him, looking back every now and then to make sure she was keeping up. When they got to the teleport, Amy and Rory had made up and were kissing, completely unaware that the Doctor was back and ready to go.

"Guys? Guys! We're good, let's go!" The Doctor finally gave up trying to tell them, so he grabbed the remote to the teleport out of Rory's hand and teleported back to the ship. When they got there, they all went to the TARDIS, Amy and Rory still not realizing that Oswin was following them. The Dalek Prime Minister, however, did.

"Do not follow the unknown intruders. They are not a threat. Return to your place in the parliament," he told her, not realizing that she had come from the asylum.

"I AM NOT A DALEK!" She screamed and fired her gun at the prime minister, causing it to blow up. At that point, she was just outside the TARDIS, so she went inside. Being connected to the PathWeb, she already knew what a TARDIS was generally, and therefore did not need to question why it was bigger on the inside. Just as it took off, Amy noticed Oswin sitting right inside the door of the TARDIS.

"Doctor! There's a Dalek in here!"

"Yeah, I noticed," he replied, sarcastically, "She's coming with us."

"Wait… she?" Rory realized, "Why would a Dalek be a she? Do they even have genders?"

"Well, yes, but they don't, it's complicated, but this is definitely a she." The Doctor attempted to clarify, "You see, that Dalek is Oswin."

"I AM NOT A DALEK!" Oswin told him.

"What I meant was she's not a true Dalek, she was human when the Alaska landed and then the nanocloud got to her. That's why she could hack all of the Dalek systems of the planet. The cloud detected her level of genius, and did a full conversion, assuming that she would be a better Dalek than a puppet. But they were very wrong, so they locked her up in the asylum with all of the other failed Daleks."

"Well, then, if she is human, why doesn't she sound like one? She did when she was flirting with me," Rory asked.

"Her real voice is the one you heard on the speakers. The Dalek casing only has one voice." He said.

"Well, are there any speakers on the TARDIS she can use? She sounds too much like a Dalek to believe that she's human." Amy asked bitterly. The Doctor didn't even get a chance to respond before Oswin moved over to the TARDIS console and pressed a couple of buttons with her plunger-hand, adapting very easily to the TARDIS controls.

"Is this any better?" She asked over the speakers, sounding like she did before.

"How did you do that?" The Doctor wondered out loud, "You would be recognized as a Dalek by the TARDIS, so why didn't she—"a huge electrical explosion interrupted him mid-sentence, "Oh. I guess I better keep my mouth shut next time," he resolved after realizing the TARDIS was rejecting Oswin. He moved a lever or two while talking to her, "Just this once, OK? Special circumstances," he reassured, "Try it again." He directed at Oswin.

"It's working much better now. Whatever you did helped a lot. Do you want me to keep using this speaker?" She asked.

"Yes, please do," the Doctor replied, "Just remember that the TARDIS is a living consciousness, and, being created by Time Lords, she instinctively hates Daleks. You just need to be a little more careful before you do something like that again."

They finally landed at Amy and Rory's house, where they both got off. As the TARDIS dematerialized with only the Doctor and Oswin, he wondered how Oswin would hold during his adventures.

AN: I don't have much time this week, so the next update should be posted next week sometime :)
