Kurt's POV

He couldn't believe he was doing this, standing outside of Sue's office as Blaine tried to have a human conversation with the coach. Didn't the guy realise he was trying to talk to Satan himself? Sometimes Kurt was on the way to believing the woman was some kind of sadistic alien who enjoyed torturing human beings. He could almost feel her eyes on him, trying to get into his soul. He shuddered at the thought of her and wondered if he was ever going to see that intriguing stranger again and as if he had known, Blaine waltzed out as if he didn't have a care in the world.

"So?" Kurt said, having to rush to walk with him as Blaine headed down the corridor as if he had forgotten about Kurt,
"So what?" Blaine asked, absently. His hand was stuck in his jacket pocket as if he was holding something but Kurt waved it off,
"You got into her office... Find what you're looking for without making us audition for the Cheerios?" He asked, making sure to force every ounce of hope into his voice.
"No... I need to go in without her there," Blaine said, casually, causing Kurt to raise an eyebrow,
"What exactly are you looking for?" He asked, frustrated at how he spoke in riddles,
"I'll know it when I see it," Blaine said, simply.

The Doctor's POV

It was getting hard to keep Kurt blindly following him; he was going to have to explain himself soon. He just wanted to gage if he could trust Kurt with that information. He could do with more help in this quest; there was definitely something in that office that shouldn't be in 21st Century Ohio. His sonic screwdriver had picked it out but with her in the room, he couldn't pinpoint the exact object.

"So we have to audition?" Kurt asked and The Doctor looked to him, trying to recall what he had said aloud rather than in his head,
"Oh... She said we're in... Amongst a lot of weird stuff like mentioning Oprah but the basic idea is we're in," Blaine said, "She just has to get us uniforms,"
"Great..." Kurt said, his voice showing how unenthusiastic he was at the prospect of joining the team but The Doctor didn't comment and instead just headed to class.

He had learnt a lot from his time with the humans, he knew they had a brilliance, a potential. But he knew their downfalls as well. He knew the curiosity of great things could cause them to do things they shouldn't, like sending the rover out with a vial of blood only to have the Sycorax control a third of the human race. He knew their curiosity well, from Ian and Barbara following Susan into his TARDIS to Adam getting the chip on Satellite 5 that revealed his brain. So, part of him knew how he could get Kurt to unearth the secret by himself. During the day, he dropped questionable comments about his home life – mentioning being an orphan, living alone – and then come home time, he knew Kurt was following him.

Kurt's P.O.V
The journey home was a longwinded one. He had been made curious by Blaine's comments through the day, he couldn't help but wonder how an orphan could afford to live alone with a suit like Blaine's - then again, it seemed to be the only outfit he owned. It just didn't add up. Besides, in Ohio, there were very few mysteries and he wasn't going to miss the chance of being like a character in an Enid Blyton story. Though he was far less prepared than those kids were - the only thing he had was a torch and that was just because it was an app on his phone. He had no idea what to expect, for all he knew Blaine could be a conman, a murderer... Or he could be a poor teenager, sad and alone. Things were going to change in one way or another by what he saw.

It wasn't too far from where his father worked, he was extra wary in case his father saw him and questioned why he was skulking around outside rather than talking to him like he usually did. He cringed as Blaine soon led him through a wood, his feet moving carefully so he didn't get his clothes dirty, whilst inwardly crying at the inevitability of his shoes getting filthy as they treaded through the undergrowth. He hoped this was all worth it. He hoped Blaine wasn't just leading him on to the middle of nowhere... Steady now, Kurt that would be a bad thing. No matter how adorable his face was, it was not wise to yearn to be alone with someone who was so full of mysteries.

After what felt like hours, Kurt came to an opening. He slowly stepped out, looking around for Blaine. There was nothing for miles around but that blue box. Kurt swallowed, moving towards it, inwardly proud that he had picked up on their connection early on - forgetting that he had neglected that idea soon after and deeming it all as a coincidence. There was nowhere else Blaine could be but in that box but what on earth could Blaine really do in that space. Slowly he found himself moving to the box, there was something about it that struck him, made him feel overcome with some emotion that he couldn't pinpoint. He raised his hand, wondering whether to knock or to just open the door. Neither mattered cause the doors opened in front of him and Blaine stood there but that wasn't what made Kurt's jaw drop.

Without thinking, Kurt pushed passed Blaine and slowly walked into the box. Well, it was a lot more than a box. The room was twice as big as the ground floor of his house - and he could see stairs and hallways leading to others. He swallowed, eyes falling back on Blaine who seemed to be watching him expectedly, waiting for him to say something. Kurt moved back out and did a circuit around the box before he moved back in, Blaine's face seemed amused. Releasing a breath, he observed, "It's bigger on the inside," Blaine let out a chuckle - gosh his voice sounded perfect when he was laughing - and nodded,
"Yes... It's the TARDIS... Stands for-" Blaine started but Kurt interrupted,
"Is there anything else... Bigger on the inside?" He asked whilst raising an eyebrow as his eyes wandered over the other male.

The Doctor's POV

He was rendered speechless, his eyes fixed on the boy opposite him. "Er... I guess... I mean I have two hearts..." He said, looking over Kurt, "And my name isn't really Blaine Anderson... I go by The Doctor." Kurt nodded slowly,

"Just... 'The Doctor'?" Kurt clarified quietly, and after The Doctor had nodded, he paced around, "Are you an alien?" He asked, slowly. The Doctor was taken aback by the question, he had rarely been asked so quickly but he then nodded to which Kurt smirked slightly, "Really? What is an alien doing in Lima, Ohio? Like nothing happens here," The Doctor laughed,
"I was brought here by the TARDIS - my ship - and I haven't found out why yet-" The Doctor started by then Kurt suddenly exclaimed,
"ITS SOMETHING TO DO WITH SUE ISNT IT?" his face reflected the excitement as he worked it out, "Something in her office? What about her herself? She can't be human..." He said, shaking his head causing the Doctor to laugh,

"No... Sue is definitely human... But something she uses shouldn't be here... Whether it's alien or out of its time I don't know yet," he smiled softly. Kurt nodded slowly, the Doctor watched him, wondering if Kurt was going to faint or if he would be okay. He just stood there, quietly, looking around him as he took it in, "Are you okay, Kurt?" He asked softly, moving closer,
"You said out of its time?" Kurt said, quietly, "Time travel?" He whispered to which the Doctor nodded and he took a deep breath, "Do... You time travel?" He asked and the Doctor nodded once more. Kurt sat down and took a deep breath. The Doctor moved over to him and crouched down in front of him,
"When do you want to go?" He asked, softly.


He knew he shouldn't do it, when he did it for Rose, it ended badly but this was different. Kurt was different and from what he told him, it would have been stupid and heartless to say no. Kurt had asked to take him back to the day his mom died, not because he hadn't seen or known her like Rose, but because he wanted her to go with peace. The Doctor landed the TARDIS round the back of the Hospital, walking alongside Kurt as they entered the hospital. Kurt's skin looked paler than normal, his hands tensed and relaxed as he seemed to fidget. The Doctor spoke up and with a flash of his psychic paper they were led to her room. Later, he turned to Kurt when they reached the door,
"Are you sure you want to do this?" he asked, noting how Kurt's eyes were on the floor but then Kurt took in a breath and he seemed to inflate and he looked up and nodded,
"Positive,"

Kurt's P.O.V

He couldn't believe he was going to see his mom again after so long. He remembered this day clearly, his dad collected him after school and they were there when she went. He had noted the exact time so Blai- the Doctor could bring him earlier to prevent meeting himself. He didn't know why he had believed the guy so easy, but it was proved when he stepped out of the TARDIS and it was day time, with a Hospital right in front of him. As soon as he saw the building, his stomach sank, twisted, and flipped. This was something he had wanted to do for so long; he hated the idea that his mom would worry about leaving his father and himself alone. He remembered how the drugs made her drowsy and her memory was a bit off so it wasn't going to be a huge deal in terms of the 'fabric of space and time' or whatever it was.

When they got to the door, Kurt lowered his head so he didn't have to see his mom through the door and break down in front of the Doctor so he was taken away. No matter what Kurt went through at school or anything else, he knew he was strong enough to deal with what the world gave him and that came from the upbringing of his father. He knew he owed him a lot and this was something that he couldn't tell Burt he had done, but the sentiment was still there. After taking a deep breath, he turned the handle and stepped inside. He had left it open from the Doctor but only Kurt stepped into the room. He didn't notice, his attention fully on the woman on the bed, his eyes glistening with tears as he stepped closer to it. He could barely remember that face, it was all from photographs now and he couldn't believe it was his mom in the flesh.

"Hi mom…" he whispered, his hand gently going to hers and she let out a small groan as she turned to face him, her eyes seemed glazed over but Kurt smiled warmly.
"K-kurt? you're so tall…" she murmured and Kurt let out a small chuckle, moving forward and he kissed her forehead,
"Mom… I'm not your Kurt right now… I… I'm from the future…" he said. She didn't say anything, just blinked, looking at her, "I…I came to tell you… you don't have to fight anymore… you have done everything right… you deserve… some rest… and dad and I… we'll be okay…" he said, his voice breaking a bit towards the end and she squeezed his hand.
"Make sure he's happy, Kurt… your father…" she whispered to him. Kurt nodded,
"Always…"
