AN: Sorry it took a long time to update but things were happening, well four things, well four things and a lizard.


Rory POV

We ran further into the little town. We rounded a corner and froze. In the center of the town square people were being beaten. Ti was a man and a woman. They both were black and the woman's hair was done up in lots of tiny braids. the man was unconscious, and the woman's eyelids fluttered closed. We must have landed in a time where there was still slavery.

"No, no, no, this can't be happening, not to them." Said the Doctor so quietly that I was the only one who could hear him. He walked up to the man who had whipped them. "Those two," the Doctor said gesturing to the man and woman, "belonged to my …errr …cousin who went …ummm… missing. Can't I speak to their current owner and see if he knows where my cousin is."

"I'm sorry, we found them out in the woods standing over a man who had been knocked out cold. Since they were obviously the ones who put him in that state I took it upon myself to punish them justly" The man replied.

The Doctor looked like he was about to explode when it came to how the man decided to 'punish them justly'

"Let me see this man. He might be my cousin." The Doctor said. I was surprised by this. It was obvious that the cousin thing was a lie so the Doctor must have had some other plan in mind.

"Right this way." The man said

They were led to a building where a man was lying out cold in a bed.

"That's him!" Said the Doctor after one look. He bent down and grabbed the man's wrist. He Doctor pulled back the man's sleeve. On the man's wrist was a vortex manipulator identical to River's. He quickly took the manipulator and shoved it in his pocket.

"We'll take them all back home immediately. River you get him, Amy, Rory, you two get the other man, I've got her." The Doctor said. He scooped up the woman and I saw something flicker in his eyes. It was like he was remembering doing that in the past. We struggled with our burdens back to the TARDIS. When we reached the TARDIS the Doctor snapped his fingers and we were surrounded by a golden glow.

"Ummm, what's happening?" I asked, confused.

"Nanogenes!" The Doctor said as though that was a perfectly reasonable explanation. He ushered us down a corridor, and he dropped off the woman in a bedroom.

"Amy stay with her. Let me know when she wakes up, River, Rory the same goes for you. River in here and Rory in here." He said gesturing to two doors adjacent to the room Amy was in. He then ran off back to the control room. I lifted the man onto the bed in the assigned room and let my nurse habits take over. I checked the man over only to be surprised by the fact that his wounds were healing themselves. I sat down in an armchair in the corner of the room and contemplated what trouble the Doctor had gotten us into this time.


AN: I will try to update on Thursdays. Please review.
