Introduction
An alarm blared. And the Stormcage rattled. Footsteps could be heard down the corridor. Footsteps that at first, were slow, but suddenly began to pick up speed. It was a guard. He'd heard a disturbance from one of the cells and decided to investigate.
Of course he already had a feeling from which cell the noises were coming from, he just needed to see it to be sure. And sure enough, when he got there, he saw River Song making another attempt at escape. He ran to the phone on the wall.
"Sir, it's Dr. Song." The guard said as soon as his boss picked up. He looked back over at River.
"You haven't got an extra suitcase, have you sweetie?" River smiled.
"She's packing."
"There's no law against packing you know." Came another voice. It was a females voice, that was for certain. She couldn't have been very old. And she wasn't. The owner of the voice was, physically in her early twenties. She was walking calmly over towards the guard and the cell.
The Guard dropped the phone.
"Who are you?" He said nervously, reaching for his weapon.
"I wouldn't do that, if I were you." The girl said.
"And why not?"
"Well first, let me introduce myself. But before we get to that, you should know a few things." She began, smiling slightly. She placed her hands behind her back, resting them there for a moment. "I have blue eyes, like my Grandfather. I have red hair, like my Grandmother. I have a mind, and can talk like my father, which believe me is a godsend in sticky situations like this one. I mean, my father can saves lives just by talking which is an extraordinary talent that I hope I possess. I don't know yet." She said all this, barely taking a breath. Still she continued.
"And, like my mother. I don't mind using a gun." And in a very quick movement, pulled a gun from the waistband of her trousers and, taking off the safety catch, pointed it at the guard. "I presume you have keys for the cage?"
The guard nodded, eyes wide. He was scared of this girl.
"Keep quiet and open the door."
He did this with no complaint. Keeping his eyes on the gun in the girls hand, he moved slowly towards River's cell and unlocked the cage. River stepped out, grinning like it was The Doctor himself come to rescue her.
"Oh yes, my name." The girl remembered. "I'm Thalia Song." She turned to River. "Hello Mum."
"Hello dear, come by yourself?"
"Of course not," said Thalia, putting away the gun, and handing her mother her own. "Dad's waiting."
The guard, still in shock, did nothing to stop them from leaving. He just stood there, frozen watching Dr. River Song and her daughter walk around the corner.
"I told you he was waiting." And Thalia was of course right, because parked in the middle of the corridor, was the TARDIS, and her father; River's husband, The Doctor was standing just outside with a smile on his face, a crimson red bowtie around his neck and a fez on his brown head of hair.
"Hello Honey," he said, "Ready for a trip?"
