Just Jane
Prologue
A/n: so this is my second Who-niverse story my other one is a Torchwood story :) I'm just testing out what everyone thinks with this chapter and I'll update once I start getting some reviews from people who want to read more other than that I hope you enjoy :D
The sun was just setting on the western Teranoirburn as a tall pale woman in black robes stood by her window staring out at the planet's blue grass blowing lightly in the evening winds. As she stood there in a sense accomplishment at having so nearly completed her plans was quite overwhelming and for the first time since the dark day a smile spread across the woman's deep maroon lips. "Madame," said a male voice through the coms system.
"Any news Nicholias?" she asked.
"He has arrived on Zxrag nine,"Nicholias responded.
"Good thank you," she said.
For so very long had she waited for this; this moment had been hundreds of years in the making. The thought of his and the entirety of his race's destruction caused the formerly small smile on her face to grow to twice its size.
She had been lying in wait in the cover of the dark skies of Teranoirburn for so very long where the blue grass flourished and there was no sun to light the florescent orange sky except for during the month of light. That day had been the last day of light for the next fifteen months. That day would mark the end of a race and the age of the Personanocturus but, most importantly it marked the death of her much hated half sister. Jane of Gallifrey.
"Shit! Shit! Shit!" Jane yelled running around the TARDIS like a chicken with its head cut off.
"Jane calm down it's going to be okay!" the Doctor yelled grabbing her by the shoulders and shaking her slightly.
"What if it isn't though!" Jane exclaimed.
"Jane it will be okay. I won't let her get away with this. I won't let you be alone again!" he promised looking deep into her eyes.
"Doctor we're here," said Jack's voice from the other side of the controls counsel. "I think I see the compound."
"We're going to save them I promise, "the Doctor said.
And to think five months ago she had been living a peaceful life on earth, under the radar hidden even from Torchwood.
Date- Twenty eight October 2010
Location- United States, Missouri
The Doctor's eyebrows pulled together in confusion as he looked at the screen displaying his present location to him. "Why on earth are we here?" he muttered more to himself than to the TARDIS.
Sighing in exasperation the Doctor turned on his heel and went out the door knowing the TARDIS always brought him places for a reason. The scene upon which he was now looking took him slightly by surprise. He was standing in a field of bright thriving green grass that nearly reached up to his knees. There was a forest, of what he was sure were deciduous trees, off in the distance and the sun was hardly reaching up out of from behind the protection of the tree's leaves. Though slightly simple he found it an absolutely fitting first sight for his new eyes, especially after the trauma at the near end of the world, and it was beautiful.
As he continued to drink in the beauty he noticed a soft humming sound coming from a little ways off. Quickly he spun around to find the source of the noise only to find a lake with a glassy surface less than a few meters off. "Hello?" he called out taking a few steps in direction of the sound.
"Hello?" he called out again.
Just as abruptly as the noise had started it stopped and the Doctor frowned stepping forward a few more steps. "Is any one there?" he asked.
'Why would anyone come out here? No one knows I live out here' said a feminine voice inside his head.
"Hello?" he called again.
Suddenly something popped out of the grass causing the Doctor to jump a little. "Who's there? I saw you," he said slightly annoyed by now.
"Who are you and why are you on my land?" said a feminine voice just before the source appeared in front of him.
"I'm the Doctor and my TARDIS brought me here. Tell me is there anything strange going on around here, strange, abnormal, anomalies, or any other sort of oddness you've noticed at all?" he asked arching an eyebrow at the girl whose face was only centimeters from his.
"You?" the girl said arching her eyebrow slightly as well.
"Hmmm reasonable answer I suppose but, other then me," he said.
"No," she said.
"That's quite rubbish now isn't it," said the Doctor frowning. "What's your name?"
"Jane," said the girl.
"Jane…what?" he asked.
"Just Jane," she replied.
"So Just Jane if there's nothing strange here then can I have a look around?" asked the Doctor.
"Are you with the police?" she asked skeptically.
"Why yes I am!"he replied enthusiastically.
"And where's your warrant then sir? You'll not get inside my home without a warrant," Jane said.
"Not very accommodating I see. You'll find anything you need to know right here; now where's your house at?" he asked briefly flashing her his physic paper.
"This way," Jane murmured unagreeably.
Jane's pace was brisk and disciplined though she showed a slight anxiousness in the way she kept glancing over her shoulder to check if the Doctor was still there. "Why're you here anyway?" Jane asked.
"A few reports of strange goings on," the Doctor said vaguely.
Jane frowned at him as they arrived at her house. It was a small English cottage looking place and if he didn't know better he might have thought he was in the English countryside from the looks of everything. Reluctantly Jane stood by the door leaving the Doctor to look about her home without her hovering over his shoulder though it was blatantly obvious she was not happy about it.
He looked around the main living room noticing instantly that it was strewn with what could have been hundreds of pieces of a variously sized canvas as well as paint. The carpet was black and the walls were white. It seemed the black and white was a common theme of the room and perhaps even the whole house by the looks of the carpet running into the next room but, the thing that interested him the most was the device sitting on the table in the kitchen off to his left. Turning on his heel he made his way into the kitchen and picked it up turning it over and over in his hands as he inspected it. It was clear to him immediately what it was but, he was more concerned about how the young painter had come into possession of such a device. The Doctor walked out of the house still with the device in hand and stopped in front of Jane.
"Where did you get this?" he asked.
"I found it," she lied quickly.
"Where?" he asked more urgently.
"Just in the fields," she lied again.
"I don't believe you," he said bluntly.
"That's because I've always been a rubbish liar," she snapped scowling at him.
"What race are you? The Personanocturus are far more pale then you and they don't share their technology lightly," the Doctor all but demanded.
"And what are you doing on Earth? And out in the middle of nowhere? That seems quite suspicious."
"I am from Teranoirburn," she snapped.
"You can't be," he said. "You wouldn't be here if you were."
"What's it to you? And how do you know of my people?" she asked.
"Because I'm a Time Lord," he said.
"Extinct," she said crossing her arms over her chest indignantly.
"Wrong," said the Doctor.
"Prove it," said Jane smirking at him.
"Come with me, The Doctor led Jane to the entrance of the TARDIS where it stood in the middle of the feild where they had first encountered each other. "Awesome you brought me to a box," said Jane boredly.
"Go inside," said the Doctor.
"What?" Jane asked skeptically narrowing her eyes at him.
"Go-in-side," he said slowly and auniciating ever sybolo.
Rolling her eyes in the process, Jane yanked open the door and stepped inside. At first she said nothing and simply stood in the doorway, staring in at the interior of the awesome machine that was the TARDIS before finally turning and looking at the Doctor. "Okay. A box that's got it's own dimension inside it," said Jane, looking slightly unimpressed.
The Doctor just stood there looking at Jane as she stood in the doorway of the TARDIS staring at him expectantly. "That doesn't really prove you're a Time Lord," Jane said crossing her arms and leaning in the doorway.
"Give me a date and a location," said the Doctor, stubbornly walking inside and closing the door behind them.
"Oh I don't know; how about Central Lozima in the city of Marabeczi 1200"Jane said smirking.
"Surprising. Okay let's go," said the Doctor as he pressed random buttons, fixing the calculations before the TARDIS lurched violently and took off.
"What the hell!" Jane yelped.
"Bit of a bumpy ride, sorry, but here we are!" said the Doctor excitedly running over to the doors. "Come along then, Jane!"
Jane sighed in exasperation and followed after this mad man out into the unknown. The moment she stepped through the doors out into the outside world, she froze in place. No longer was she standing in the middle of her lovely meadow by the lake; instead Jane found herself standing in the middle of 1200 Mabeczi town square. It astonished her more by far that nobody noticed a random blue police box materialize in the middle of the square than, that she had actually just traveled through time and space. "Great isn't it?" the Doctor said.
"I'm imagining things," she murmured softly to herself.
"Can't imagine that stench, thank the lord for deodorant! I only wish it was invented sooner!" said the Doctor.
"You're insane," said Jane, staring at the Doctor slightly bewildered. "And you're supposed to be extinct."
"Insanity is brilliance! I thought we'd take a nice stroll in Marabeczi square since we're here!" said the Doctor, grabbing her arm and looping it with his own.
"I wasn't, like, serious! I just came up with something!" Jane exclaimed.
"Oh, well it's too late fro that now," said the Doctor as eh came to a stop outside of the Marabeczi palace of the Soprano.
"No, Doctor I want to go home," Jane said staring around at the whole scene around them. "I need to go home."
"What why?" he asked.
"Take me home," she said.
"Gee alright then," the Doctor murmured giving Jane a very crestfallen look as they walked back to the TARDIS. He attempted to try and figure out why in the universe she would want to go back to Earth so soon after he had shown her what wonders the TARDIS could do.
As they both stood around the TARDIS main control counsel the Doctor thought for a moment before Jane's voice interrupted him. "Doctor, you're not doing anything," she pointed out.
"You're wrong. I am thinking," he replied smartly.
"Well I had said I wanted to go home," she said.
"You know, we're in a time machine," the Doctor said.
"Yeah," replied Jane.
"So technically you could go home whenever you want and still get there only an hour or so after you left," he pointed out.
"Where are you going with this?" Jane asked.
"Travel with me," the Doctor offered.
"Travel?" she asked.
"Yeah! All time and space at your finger tips! Just name a place and off we go! Nothing to lose," said the Doctor.
Jane stared at him a moment before sighing and looking around the TARDIS and then looking back at the Doctor. "I suppose one or two trips wouldn't hurt," she murmured.
"FANTASTIC!" he exclaimed beaming at her before he began running around and hitting random controls and such as he punched in the coordinates for where they would go next. " the Doctor said.
