Author's Note: As promised here's the next chapter. I hope to get a new one up in the next two days, sorry I have Orchestra Camp and stupid driving school. I really don't want to learn how to drive but that's beside the point. Sorry if it seems rushed. Enjoy!
Doctor Who- After Midnight but before Turn Left
Sherlock- Before season 2

Doctor Who
After most of them had got on appropriate attire, Tony was being stubborn and stayed in his sleep wear, they all gathered at the giant table they met at last night for breakfast. Tony complained about having to walk around the giant blue box at the end of the table and John kept bumping into it.
Jack had specifically sat himself right next to Captain America and Hawkeye. Thor sat by Donna and the Doctor discussing the changes Asgard had gone through. Sherlock was still clearly upset about earlier and did a terrible job of trying not to show it.
Whilst they ate Doctor showed everyone the inside of the TARDIS to confirm his and Donnas' story. Sherlock told everything about Thor to prove his abilities and John kept him from getting slapped. Harry and Ginny had a friendly wizard duel next to the table, Ginny won. Hawkeye shot an arrow through the keyhole in the door across the room.
After everyone had finished explaining their powers or gift they ate breakfast a discussed the alien problem.
"So these aliens, how do you know they're aliens? Some people use alien technology without permission," he glowered accusingly at Jack.
"Hey, they shouldn't leave their stuff laying around," Jack retorts.
"Hey wait, what is that song called?" the Doctor asks hearing the music in the background.
"Exterminate, regenerate by Chameleon Circuit," Jarvis answers.
"Is this about Daleks?" the Doctor ventures.
"Yes and you sir. All of Chameleon circuit songs are about you but I've left out the spoilers. They base all their songs of you on the popular sci-fi show, Doctor Who."
"What how is that possible?"
"Am I in it? How do I look?"
"Yes Donna you are also on the show, and I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
"What for? What's going to happen to me?" the Doctor puts a caring hand on her shoulder.
"Oh it all makes sense now! Why you didn't know about The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes or the Harry Potter books. We've ended up in a parallel universe, but I suspect it's not like the one Rose is in," the Doctor exclaims.
Hearing they're names, Sherlock, John, and Harry turn to look at the Doctor.
"So you're saying that where you live there's books about us?" Harry asks.
"Yes and movies and TV shows. Even in a different universe people know you, and I'm sorry it no spoilers," the Doctor tells them.
"Oh also I must have slipped into the crack between universes a while back because I worked with Headmaster Dumbledore when he was just starting out. How is he now?" the Doctor realized.
"He died at the hand of one of his most trusted friends because he had to make Voldemort trust him to help me be able to live to destroy the Dark Lord," Harry informed him.
"I'm sorry to hear that, great man," the Doctor frowned with a deep sadness in his eyes, another friend gone.
"Sorry to butt in but I just thought you'd like to know that there's a TV show from the 60's about you. I can't believe I forgot about that. It's been a while since I've seen an episode," Tony tells him.
"Please no spoilers Tony," the Doctor asks of him almost sounding frightened of knowing his own future.
"Okay but where was your last stop before here?"
"The planet Midnight."
"Wow, okay I only have one thing to say, no spoilers promise. Allons-y! Man I've always wanted to say that to you," Tony tells him.
"I'm confused am I from a parallel world then to?" Thor inquires.
"No I don't think so, I think that I shouldn't have been able to travel to your world," the Doctor explains.
"Parallel universes are great and all but we need to focus on the problem at hand with everyone disappearing," Romanoff interrupts.
"Yes you're right we'll discuss this later," the Doctor agrees even though Donna continues to whisper to him.
"So earth, they've been swallowed by the Earth!" Everyone turns to the Doctor.
"I know who is behind the missing children, but what I don't know is why they want children," the Doctor attempts to figure out.
"It's two aliens working together. One could or could not be an alien but they are wizards. The patterns are different can't you see it," Sherlock told them.
"Um no, how do you figure?" the Doctor asks with interest.
"Most of the disappearances occur during the day and those who have been returned come back with scars like yours on their body," Sherlock looks at the wizards.
"We can be sure that more kids have been abducted in the same manner as the one swallowed into the Earth because the accounts of the abductions report an absence of grass or rock where the victim had been standing." Sherlock was about to elaborate but had been abruptly stopped when the glass pane next to them shattered into a million pieces.
Harry Potter
Everyone evaded the glass and ducked under the table as a natural reflex. They looked up and saw a cloud of dark smoke flying about the room and its presence chocked the air with a feeling Harry had only when black magic was being used. His scar burned on his forehead but it was different than the burning Voldemort's felt like, it was more alive and full of rage. He held Ginny under his arm and took out his wand. The cloud rushed at him and he countered with his patronus. It kept the cloud back but it did not leave. Then it proceeded to turn into the mark of the death eater with the skull and the snake.
"What the...?" John commented. The Doctor took out his sonic and soniced the cloud trying to figure out its origin.
After a quick spell Harry had rid the room of the suppressing magic.
"Quick I have the coordinates for where it came from. Get what you need and into the TARDIS now!" the Doctor commanded. He grabbed Donna and Jack and they went to the TARDIS to wait for everyone else. Harry, Ginny, Sherlock and John followed them into the blue police box. Dr. Banner walked in with Romanoff seeing as the both preferred to fight with hand-to-hand contact if necessary. Thor ran in with his hammer, Capt. America brought his shield, Barton brought his arrows, and Tony came with his ironman suit.
The Doctor instructed everyone to move back and he and Donna started flying the TARDIS into the time vortex. It followed the signal to Central Park and landed at the same time that they had left. They ran out to find the park was empty, not a soul in sight, no birds, crickets, absolutely nothing. It's the middle of spring in New York on a Saturday afternoon and nothing.
"What?! This isn't right!" The Doctor runs back into the TARDIS and checks the screen it shows that all the people that once walked on the earth had disappeared into it. Running back out the Doctor felt the air for vibrations or a metallic taste when that failed to bring forth any insight he bent down to the ground finding dirt where grass should've been growing.
"What's happened Doctor?" Thor asks.
"Everything in the park has been swallowed, literally every living creature," the Doctor paces back and forth.
"Where do we need to be?" Ginny asks.
"About 100,000ft below us," the Doctor tells her.
"Well Harry and I can apparate everyone so the TARDIS doesn't get stuck there somehow," Ginny offers.
"Apparate?" Dr. Banner asks.
"Wizard teleportation."
"Okay then, Allons-y!"
"Jack, Steve, Sherlock, John, and Dr. Banner go with Harry. Thor, Romanoff, Tony, and I will go with Ginny." the grab a hold of each other and apparate into the Earth.
