Chapter 3: Missy's Back

London, England 2016

Clara Oswald, Falcon, and Scarlet Witch stood in Clara's apartment, watching the TARDIS materialize in her living room. After almost a year away from Earth and not answering Clara's calls, the Doctor was finally returning. Within a few moments, the blue box finally finished forming. The doors swung open and the spry old Time Lord stepped out into the apartment followed by Rose Tyler.

"Clara!" The Doctor said with a smile. "What are you doing with the Avengers?"

"You didn't answer my calls." Clara calmly said.

"I was busy." The Doctor said.

"You've been away awhile." Clara said. "You missed some things."

"We came back because we detected more trouble on Earth." The Doctor said.

"The Cyber-Daleks." Rose and Clara said at the same time.

"Then you know that one appeared here and attacked the Avengers base." Falcon said. "We were barely able to destroy it."

"Oh." Rose said. "Apparently they don't know."

"Don't know what?" Scarlet Witch asked.

"Two more Cyber-Daleks appeared on Earth." The Doctor said.

"Two!" Falcon said.

"That's the good news." The Doctor said. "The Cyber-Daleks can't send anymore over from the parallel universe. If we destroy these two then we should be safe here."

"How's that going by the way?" Clara asked. "That's what you and Rose were doing this whole time. You were looking for a way to destroy the Cyber-Daleks."

"We found something, but it's on Asgard." Rose said. "We tried to take it, but we were almost arrested."

"Doctor." Falcon said. "We need to get back to the Avengers facility and warn the others. Can we take the TARDIS."

"Sure, but there's one thing first." The Doctor said.

"What?" Falcon asked.

"Where's P.E.?" The Doctor asked.

"What?" Scarlet Witch asked.

"Clara's boyfriend." The Doctor said. "Danny. Where is he?"

"Dead." Clara said. "He died. He was murdered by Slitheen in New York."

"What?" The Doctor said. He was not expecting that response. "What we're Slitheen doing in New York?"

"Working for Missy." Clara said. "Like I said. You missed some things."

"Well what happened?" The Doctor asked. "Tell me everything."

"At the end of last year, three large wheels appeared across Manhattan." Clara said.

"Wheels?" The Doctor asked.

"That's what they were." Scarlet Witch said. "They were large silver circles the size of elephants with a big green gem in the center of them. The Avengers went to New York to investigate."

"S.H.I.E.L.D. was too busy to deal with it." Clara said. "So Coulson asked Danny and I to be part of a team that would investigate on their behalf."

"After awhile the gems started to glow." Falcon said. "Whenever they glowed, the city would shake. They created artificial earthquakes."

"At least that's what we thought at the time." Clara said. "Turns out they were teleportation devices."

"Missy hired the Slitheen to put them in New York." Falcon said.

"Why?" Rose asked.

"She's been conquering some planet in another galaxy and the destruction was intense." Clara said. "She thought that it would just be easier to teleport a big city onto the planet instead of having to rebuild from scratch."

"We eventually destroyed the green gems in the center of the wheels, thus deactivating the wheels entirely." Falcon said. "But not everyone made it out alive."

"I kept calling you." Clara said. "You didn't answer."

"Clara I'm so sorry." The Doctor said.

"Tell that to Danny." Clara said.

A brief, awkward moment of silence filled the room after that comment. Eventually, Falcon spoke again.

"We should really get back to the base." Falcon said.

"Right." The Doctor said. "Everyone in the TARDIS."


Avengers Facility, United States 2016

The TARDIS materialized inside the large conference room at the Avengers base. The long table had been filled by the Avengers and Coulson's S.H.I.E.L.D. team, though there were still some empty seats. The Doctor, Rose, Clara, Falcon, and Scarlet Witch stepped out. The Doctor said hello to his old friends and then took a seat at the table to get down to business. The only ones who were not there were Iron Man, Captain America, and War Machine. They had not yet returned from California.

"Welcome back Doctor." Coulson said.

"We have grave news." The Doctor said. "It's about the Cyber-Daleks."

"Something more urgent has popped up on the news." Agent May said.

"We already destroyed the one Cyber-Dalek. We can revisit the issue later." Black Widow said.

"That's just the problem." Rose said. "You didn't destroy the only Cyber-Dalek. Two more of them have just come over from the parallel world."

"We don't know where they are." Falcon said. "We need to find them and take them out. That's our top priority."

"That's our secondary priority." Daisy said.

"What?" The Doctor asked. "What could possibly be more important than the Cyber-Daleks?"

Black Widow then turned on the large TV at the other side of the room so that the Doctor and the others who came in the TARDIS could see the news. Clara, Falcon, and Scarlet Witch all recognized what was on the screen. They saw the same thing in New York City last year. A large silver wheel with a big green gem in the center had been placed in another city on Earth. This time, instead of New York City, it was Sydney, Australia.

"Is that the teleportation wheel you were talking about?" The Doctor asked.

"Yes." Clara said. "Missy's back."

"That's not all." Daisy said. "She put them in more than just one city this time."

"How many?" Scarlet Witch asked.

"Five." Simmons said.

"Sydney, San Francisco, Paris, Beijing, and Boston." Fitz said.

"Why those cities?" Clara asked. "They're all so far apart and so different."

"We don't know." Lincoln said. "All we know is that those cities have all been experiencing minor earthquake activity."

"Which means Missy is going to teleport them across the universe." Hunter said.

"We estimate that there will be millions of people who don't survive the trip." Bobbi said.

"Missy wants to bring cities to another world." Vision said. "She doesn't care how many people have to die to make that happen."

"What are we going to do?" Rose asked.


Captain America, Iron Man, and War Machine were in a quinjet flying over the mid-western United States. They were on their way back to the Avengers facility. However, the two Cyber-Daleks had locked onto their location. They were determined to capture Tony Stark by any means necessary. Armed with only bullets and a shield, these three heroes didn't stand a chance.
