Previously,
"So! Canton Everett Delaware III! Who's he?"
As the TARDIS becomes visible, Canton and the other men holding the Doctor release him and stare, open-mouthed, at the TARDIS.
Nixon speaks up, "What the hell is that?"
Emily was going to answer, but she started to cramps in her stomachs. She gripped her stomach and Amy noticed, "Are you okay?"
Daniel turned his attention from their conversation to his girlfriend, "Em.." Rory and River turned at her also.
"I'm fine. It's just cramps, not a big deal." Daniel nodded.
"Is something wrong?" Daniel looked calmly, worried... if that was even possible.
"There's something I've been keeping from you..." Emily looked down at their feet.
There is a crackle of energy from the tunnel behind Emily. She slowly turned and there is a bright flash.
"Emily!" River shouted.
~ 3 months later
[San Fransisco, California]
Emily was found placing together different wires, while Daniel was seen to be running around handing her supplies she needed. They were both covered in black tally marks, except their face.
What they didn't know was right around the corner was Canton and his team.
Daniel was just about to hand over a rusty wrench to Emily when Canton yelled, "Freeze!"
Daniel had dropped the wrench and both, Emily and Daniel, had put their hands up.
Canton held his gun up to the couple, "Whatever you think you two are gonna try, don't."
"Canton, please you've got this all wrong," Daniel pleaded.
"Save your breathe," Canton stopped him, "I heard this from your now-deceased friends."
"What?" Emily gasped, in shock.
"Now it's your turn," Canton fired his gun.
Emily quickly, pushed a button on the machinery she was working on. The bullet that was fired had hit a some-what invisible wall.
"Not this time," Emily grabbed Daniel's hand and ran behind a curtain.
When the 'invisible wall' was down, Canton and his men ran in the direction of the curtain, but found an open window that lead down to a 20 foot drop.
[Area 51, Nevada]
Canton walked into the hanger, two soldiers dragging body bags. The Doctor's cell, which is made of zero balanced dwarf star alloy, is complete. The soldiers dragged the bags inside.
"Is there a reason you're doing this?" The Doctor seemed agitated.
"I want you to know where you stand," Canton expressed.
"In a cell."
"In the perfect cell," The soldiers left. "Nothing can penetrate these walls. Not a sound, not a radio wave." He inserted his fingers into holes in the wall and the door slid shut, "Not the tiniest particle of anything. In here, you are literally cut off from the rest of the universe. So I guess they can't hear us, right?"
"Good work, Canton. Door sealed?"
"You bet."
The Doctor stood and shook off the chains and removed the straightjacket just as the body bags sat up. The Doctor unzipped Rory's bag, "You ok?"
Canton helps Amy. "Finally," Amy breathed out.
Rory suggested, "These things could really do with air holes."
Canton shrugged, "Never had a complaint before."
The Doctor stretched his arms as Amy climbed out of the bag.
"Isn't it going to look odd that you're staying in here with us?" Amy inquired.
Canton shrugged once more, "Odd, but not alarming. They know there's no way out of this place."
"Exactly. Whatever they might think we're doing in here, they know we're not going anywhere," With a snap of his braces, The Doctor leaned to the side and on the TARDIS. He knocks on the door, and Emily opens it from the inside. "Shall we?"
With a smile, Amy follows Rory into the TARDIS. Canton followed Amy, "What about Dr. Song? She dove off a rooftop!"
"Don't worry. She does that," The Doctor closed the TARDIS doors and ran to the console, "Amy, Rory, open all the doors to the swimming pool." Amy and Rory run to do what they're told.
"And you two," Canton walked over to Emily and Daniel, "How did you possible do that with my bullet?"
"With an easy scientific mechanism, that I made," Emily answered. Daniel coughed to receive more credit. "With Daniel's help, of course," Emily kissed him on the cheek.
The Doctor walked around the console, using the controls, "So, we know they're everywhere. Not just a landing party, an occupying force. And they've been here a very, very long time. But nobody knows that, cos no one can remember them." River had already arrived, drying her hair.
"So what are they up to?" Canton turned to The Doctor.
"No idea. But the good news is...we've got a secret weapon," The Doctor ran to the door.
The Doctor stepped out onto the wetlands followed by the others.
"Apollo 11's your secret weapon?" River puts her towel across her shoulders.
The Doctor smiled into the distance, "No, no, it's not Apollo 11, that would be silly. It's Neil Armstrong's foot."
The Doctor injected something into Canton's hand. "Ow!" Canton explained.
"So, three months, what have we found out?" The Doctor questioned.
Rory spoke, "Well, they are everywhere. Every state in America." The Doctor injected into his hand, "Ow!"
The Doctor clarified, "Not just America, the entire world."
River added, "There's a greater concentration here though."
The Doctor injected Amy. "Ow!"
While Amy and The Doctor had they're own conversation, Daniel and Emily had their own.
"Are you sure you don't want to tell him?" Daniel whispered.
Emily sighed, quietly, "I want to tell him, truthfully. I don't even wanna think about. What if there is something wrong with our child? Considering what has happened over the past months. What if it's just a false alarm too?"
"What would make you think that?" He looked perplexed.
Emily looked down at her stomach, "The fact I'm not showing is what is worrying me."
"It'll be fine, everything will be alright... in time." He put his arm around her and a caring smile was put upon his face. Emily just bit her lip and looked back up at rambling Doctor. He came over and swiftly injected into her hand and did the same for Daniel. Both just seemed to flinch, but did not say a word.
"So you've seen them, but you don't remember them." Canton tried to clear up.
River spoke, "You've seen them too. That night at the warehouse, remember? While you were pretending to hunt us down we saw hundreds of those things. We still don't know what they look like."
"It's like they edit themselves out of your memory as soon as you look away. The exact second you're not looking at them, you can't remember anything," Rory commented.
Amy continued, "Sometimes you feel a bit sick though, but not always."
"So that's why you marked your skin?" Canton asked.
"Only way we'd know if we'd had an encounter," Emily answered.
"How long have they been here?"
Daniel replied, "That's what we've spent three months trying to find out."
Emily sustained, "Not easy, if you can't remember anything you discover."
"But how long do you think?"
"As long as there's been something in the corner of your eye, or creaking in your house, or breathing under your bed, or voices through a wall. They've been running your lives for a very long time now, so keep this straight in your head. We are not fighting an alien invasion, we're leading a revolution. And today the battle begins," The Doctor dramatically responded.
"How?" Emily asked.
"Like this," The Doctor reaches back and injects River. "Ow!" She shrieked, shaking her hand.
"Ha-ha! Nano recorder. Fuses with the cartilage in your hand." The Doctor injected himself, "Ow! Then it tunes itself directly to the speech centers in your brain. It'll pick up your voice, no matter what. Telepathic connection. So the moment you see one of the creatures, you activate it." His palm glowed red, "And describe aloud exactly what you're seeing." He pressed his palm again and playback began.
"Because the moment you break contact, you're going to forget it happened. The light will flash if you've left yourself a message. You keep checking your hand. If you've had an encounter that's the first you'll know about it."
Emily tilted his head, "Why didn't you tell me this before we started?"
The Doctor turned to face his daughter, "I did. But even information about these creatures erases itself over time." He pressed a few buttons on the console, "I couldn't refresh it, cos I couldn't talk to you."
Emily glanced over her shoulder and then straightened the Doctor's tie. The others watch her.
She noticed they were all staring at her, "Yeah...? What are you lot staring at?"
River gestured, "Look at your hand."
Emily looked at her hand and it was flashing red, she was agape. She glimpsed at the others for a moment then back at her hand to push on it.
The playback: "Oh my gosh! It got in!" Emily exclaimed.
"Keep eye contact with the creature and when I say, turn back, and when you do, straighten my bow tie," The Doctor's voice came through.
Emily turned around at a steady pace. There stood one of the Silents.
"It's a hologram, extrapolated from a photo on Amy's phone. Take a good long look," The Doctor makes the hologram dissipates. "You just saw an image of one of the creatures we're fighting. Describe it to me." He snapped his fingers.
"Uh, I can't," Emily tried to dig deep in her mind to remember.
"No. Neither can I. You straightened my bow tie because I planted the idea in your head while you were looking at the creature."
Amy tried to make sense, "So they could do that to people. You could be doing stuff and not really knowing why you're doing it."
Rory named, "Like post hypnotic suggestion."
"Ruling the world with post hypnotic suggestion."
"Now then, a little girl in a space suit. They got the suit from NASA, but where did they get the girl?" The Doctor looked around the gang for answers.
"Could be anywhere," Canton factored.
"Except they probably stayed close to that warehouse, cos why bother doing anything else? And they take her from somewhere to cause the least amount of attention. But you'll have to find her. I'm off to NASA."
The Doctor used the scanner to zoom in on possible coordinates in Florida.
"Find her? Where do we look?" Emily questioned.
"Children's homes."
[San Fransisco, California]
The TARDIS materialized inside the disused building that Emily and Daniel were building their contraption in. There step out of it was a man with curly brown locks and a long coat. After, a woman with light brown hair had stepped out.
The left over contraption was an eye-sight for the man, so he quickly ran over. "Grace! Come here!" He shouted, sounding amazed.
"What is it, Doctor?" Grace Holloway, the first companion of the eighth doctor, questioned. She walked towards his direction.
"It seems to be a control panel for a forcefield," The Doctor flicked a switch and a messy wave stopped Grace as she tried to walk towards The Doctor.
"Oh my!" The Doctor turned it off with another switch and went to the other side to examine Grace, "Are you alright, my dear?"
"It didn't shock me or anything painful, so I do hope there is no post-effects."
The Doctor theorized, "This is obviously advanced science to be making these in this era." He whipped out his sonic screwdriver and scanned around, "Earth tech; not extraterrestrial."
"Where are we by the way?" Grace inquired.
"In your hometown, but 30 years in the past." He inspected around the area.
"That means were in 1969, the moon landing!"
"Hmm, wonder why the TARDIS took us here..."
"Maybe she is giving us a clue for something?" Grace was just guessing.
"That would explain why she took us to Egypt, when I clearly wanted to go to the Cricket Country."
Grace had turned around and already heading back to the TARDIS.
When The Doctor had finally noticed she was leaving the scene, "Where are you going? There could be a a great adventure!"
"OR we can go back to the TARDIS and see where it wants to take us next." Grace entered in.
"Fine," The Doctor muttered under his breath as he dropped some of the pieces he was examining. He started to head back into the direction of the TARDIS after glancing back at the control panel.
A/N: Here is another chapter for all of you! Hope you enjoyed it!
So it is official! Emily is pregnant... well sort of. It will all be explained before the end; I assure you.
I have no reason why I included Grace and the Eighth Doctor; it was just a random idea made by my friend and I. There's an alternate version where The Eighth Doctor and Grace actually help Emily and Daniel build the temporary force field. So yes, the force field only transmits a wave not a wall.
Additionally, I would love to hear your theorizes about this story! So review, review, review. Thank you for reading. 'Til the next time.
