Well, I decided to do a thing. I hope it's okay.


He showed up at his door nearly three years ago, horrid yellow outfit and red goggles and all. Dick shut the door almost as soon as he opened it, locking every door and window to keep out what he perceived as a madman. Well, he was a madman. Actually, is— he still is a madman. Not a man though. A Time Lord.

Irregardless. Titles are a waste of time. As were locks, at least for the Yellow Man. Dick walked away the door to the kitchen, probably to make a sandwich or something. As he perused the fridge for something good enough to eat, he heard a click, suspiciously like a lock unlocking. He ran into his living room, brandishing a knife, ready to attack the redhead wielding some strange metal doo-hickey.

The man grinned. "You look bored," he declared simply.

"I—what?" In shock, he lowered the knife.

"Do you want to go on the adventure of a lifetime? Or perhaps several?" The redhead's smile broadened.

Dick tilted his head to the side, as if another angle could make this weirdo seem less crazy. "I— I don't know! What kind of question is that?"

"Just a question. One that I think I know the answer to."

Dick shook his head, trying to clear away the apparition of the Yellow One. It wouldn't leave, and in fact it drew closer. "What are you—I'm calling the cops!" He reached for the cellphone in his pocket.

"No, you won't." He wasn't being threatening or commanding, simply stating something. It was true. Dick wouldn't call the police; he was far too curious. The adventure of a lifetime… the prospect was enticing.

"Come with me. Just one adventure. Anywhere and anywhen. Be my companion." He eased the knife out of Dick's hand, laying it on the side table. "Please?"

"Who…who are you?"

"They call me the Doctor." He gently held Dick's hand with his own two.

"Who?"

"Exactly."
