"You're what?!" Jack asked startled, and with what the Doctor thought was one of the sternest looks he had ever Jack give.
"We're going out, we have been for quite a while." Clara responded enjoying the reactions of the two men.
"Jack, I.. I can explain." the Doctor half stuttered, while moving Clara from his lap to the seat beside him so he could stand up without dropping her.
"I'm all ears." Jack said trying to remain calm about the whole thing.
"well, uh you usually hit on my companions and well, you weren't around so I thought I would have a go." joked the Doctor, trying to diffuse the tension.
It didn't work.
"come here you" Jack half grunted as he grabbed the Doctor by his suspenders.
"Don't be too hard on him dad, He had a rough night." and with a sly smirk she added "I made sure of it."
"What do you mean? What does she mean?" Jack pulled the Doctor even closer, staring at him rather angrily.
"Why don't we calm down a bit and talk this out eh? Or go for a walk, I hear walking is quite Calming" said the visibly afraid timelord.
"I don't think so" Jack snarled, his anger building.
"Oh I insist." And with a flick of his wrist the Doctor pulled his sonic screwdriver from his pocket, pointed it at the floor beneath Jacks feet and pressed the button, its oscillating noise echoing around the control room.
Click. "AAH". THUD.
In the blink of an eye Jack had disappeared through the trap door below his feet and, much to the Doctors relief, let go of his suspenders as he did.
"Did you just drop my dad down a trapdoor?" asked the shocked Clara as she ran over and looked down the hole in the floor.
"I don't know, I panicked" replied the Doctor, looking down the hole with Clara.
And this is exactly why I don't like meeting parents.
