Setting: Sanctuary - After Awakening but before Carentan

Doctor Who - After Let's Kill Hitler but before The God Complex (Amy and Rory are still with the Doctor)

Author's Note: Hi guys, you have every right to shoot me right now, I promised an update then kinda failed. I mean… I had it all written up, I just couldn't upload it and yes I say couldn't because my school is being MEAN and won't let me access from my school and because I write my stories at school, I'm kinda screwed in that regard. But anyway, who here LOVES season four of Sanctuary? I just watched Resistance and I absolutely adore Henry in that episode. I just have one bone to pick (before everyone complains I know it was their only course of action, but that doesn't make it any less cool), I really dislike their new anti-government campaign. I mean, I totally agree that if the government ever comes across creatures (and I do not use that in a derogatory sense) they would abuse them, and then we'd have the same circumstances surrounding WWI with the Arms Race and everything… but still, really?

Author's Note (#2): I just read back through my first A/N and realized that only in the Sanctuary Universe, could someone actually have to specify that they do not mean to cause offense when they call Abnormals creatures. That's actually really hilarious! By the way, when I say doppelganger, I don't mean the Flesh kind (for those of you who watch Doctor Who), also you now officially have to read the companion piece because in the 3rd chapter there's a reference that becomes important later (yes this is a shameless plug to make you read the other story and yes I don't care) and as Torchwood is a spin off from Doctor Who I'm going to assume most of you have watched it, if you haven't, there'll be a summary. Oh, and this is placed in the middle of Season Two for Torchwood because I'm in denial about Tosh, Owen and Ianto.

Disclaimer (because everyone is suing): No, I don't own anything vaguely familiar, if I did, then I would kind of mesh all the Sci-Fi shows.

SPOILER ALERT: Hate to break it to you all but this chapter has massive spoilers for The Wedding of River Song. Next chapter I'll write a summary for those of you who haven't watched that Doctor Who episode, but otherwise, ON WITH THE STORY!

Chapter Seven: A Save, an Argument and a Family Reunion

I walk through the doors of the TARDIS to the sounds of everyone ignoring everyone else. In other words, Mel was studiously not listening to everyone's queries for as long as she could.

They had come out of the TARDIS and into the Entrance Hall with Magnus snapping questions at Mel every few paces. Mel looked relieved when she saw me and immediately started speaking over Magnus. "Do you have everything you need?" Not even waiting for my response, she kept on talking, "Alright, good. We'll meet you in the TARDIS."

With that she turned around and walked back into the blue Police Box parked on the lawn, just out the front of the main doors. Magnus waited behind everyone else and gave me the patented Magnus-death-stare and I knew I was in for it.

I bent down and picked up my bags as Magnus continued glaring at me. I went to walk out the doors and into the TARDIS but she intercepted me before I could walk ten paces. "When this is all over, you are going to explain to me how you're involved in all this..." She let the sentence trail off and walked through the doors I followed a bit slower assessing the situation as I went, my sister expecting me to save her ass (again), my boss expecting me to give her the full story and the worst family reunion in all of history about to go down.

"Right then," The Doctor says clapping his hands once at the end of the statement. "Where can I drop you lot off?"

"Oh, no you don't, love." Mel says, "We're going to find out why that place has its own timeline." The Doctor lights up at the sound of an adventure.

I groan, "Not another one of those races around the universe to save the Earth and then, at the last minute I might add, call up Mom and ask her what's happening because she has an IQ of 427 and might be able to shed some light on the matter and you slap your forehead and wonder why you didn't call her before when we all really know it's because you didn't want it to be boring!"

I finish my rant, take a deep breath, let it all out and spot the funny look Magnus is giving me before Mel speaks. "You finished now? Good, let's go pick up Rose and 'Manda." She pulls the lever to send us off and I sigh, One coming up, two more in the foreseeable future.

"Alright, where are they?" Mel asks me and I shake my head irritably, "They're somewhere."

"Can you be a bit more specific?" She asks.

"No, not while we're in the Time Vortex. I mean, I'm good, but not that good." Mel glares at me, yanks the lever down and someone gasps, "You do realise you landed us without coordinates?" I glance over and see a woman who looks exactly like Mel, turn back and do a double-take. "Wha-? What did I miss?" I look around and see a few other people I don't recognize.

"You missed the understatement of the century and various other assortments." Mel responds.

"Yes, but who are they?" Mel walks around the console and grabs a red-headed woman, "This is Amelia Pond, nicknamed Amy." She keeps on walking around the console and drops Amy off next to a young blond male, "This is Rory Pond, nicknamed The Last Centurion and Rory the Roman." She continues walking and reaches her doppelganger, "And finally, this is River Song, previously known as Melody Pond." I raise an eyebrow at her and she nods, So, you mean, this is THE River Song?

Yes, is her gentle response in my head.

Wait, hang on let me wrap my head around this. This is THE woman who kills THE Doctor?

Yes, William.

Wow, okay. That's not good. Hang on; isn't she supposed to be in the StormCage facility?

Yeah, well, not really.

But she killed the Doctor!

He's standing right there. She raises her eyebrows at this point and says aloud, "Teselecta."

I nod, Alright then, but seriously? He marries the woman who kills him?

Yes, Will, have we been over it enough times for you to understand? Mel looks amused and everyone else looks confused. I groan and shake my head, "This is going to take a while for me to wrap my head around."

"Good to know. Now, where are they?"

"Right now they're at Torchwood Four."

"Right, here we are! Torchwood Four, everyone meet everybody and everybody meet everyone." The requisite motions accompany the words and Mel calmly walks past everyONE and everyBODY to go straight to Rose and Amanda. "Right then, what did you find?"

Rose glances over at Mel before turning back to the computer screen she was working on. "Okay, we didn't find much, but it's enough to prosecute under the Shadow Proclamation, Article 8, Paragraph 5, Subsection 3."

"Great, that means we can get out of here and to some real civilization."

"Yeah, not really. We have enough to prosecute, but not anything else. We'll get 'em to court but it ends there. We simply don't have enough to do anything else with it."

"I bet you I can." Mel replies confidently and Rose shakes her head and plays the video as I come up behind them. After the video finishes Mel sighs, "You're right; you see a general profile, but nothing you could claim to be a particular person. Can't you clean up the footage anymore?"

"I've already got Amanda on it, but we can only do so much." Mel nods and bends down to kiss her forehead, "Okay, thanks sweetie. Do what you can."

Okay, this is another shameless bribe to make you all review (truth), I'd really love some reviews and I'm totally not going to post another chapter (lie) until you guys review.
