I woke in the medbay. I had a thin sheet laid over my body, and a soft pillow under my head. A glass of water with a bendy straw was beside of me, and a sleeve of jammie dodgers. I moved my hand from my side to my face, and felt my skin was raw. I swallowed and groaned at the searing pain in my throat. For some reason, numbers and shapes were flying through my head at an impossible speed. It didn't bother me though, so much as make me curious. Probably just head trauma. That's when I noticed the Doctor, asleep in a chair beside me. He looked so much younger when he was sleeping. His floppy hair softly blanketing the side of his face, his coat on the chair, and arms crossed over his stomach. I reached for my water, and a bright pink pill beside it. I swallowed it, assuming the Doctor put it there for me to take when I awoke. I heard him stir, and looked over at him and tried my best to smile. His eyes shot open and he rushed to my side, and I moaned when he accidentally touched my arm. "Oh, sorry!" I waved my hand dismissively and croaked "When will my skin heal?" His soft frown deepened and said "Only should be about 12 hours. You've been asleep for 2 days." I almost shot up right then and there. TWO DAYS? Well that explains why I feel rested…I looked over at the Doctor, MY Doctor, and smiled. He softly patted a spot on my hand where it wasn't burned, and said "I'm so sorry." I softened my expression and said "it's okay." I took a sip of my water and continued. "What happened to me?" He sighed and leaned back into his chair again. "Well." He clasped his hands and started. "The cybermen apparently had been inhabiting the planet for a few years, then just decided to wait for me to visit to attack my companion." He looked over at me and gave me a sympathy smile. "They took you to their temporary dome, and tried to convert you into a cyberman. I got there right before the process was complete, and reversed the polarity of the" I rose a single brow at him as in "you know I don't get that stuff." He gave me a sheepish grin and continued. "Well I basically just stopped the process, which is why you glowed for a bit. He frowned for a moment "Then you collapsed, and the energy surrounding the room killed the cybermen by frying their system."
"Wow."
"Yeah. Sorry about the attack…I kinda promised no crazy aliens."
I grinned at this. "Hey, a companion has to have at least one crazy moment." And then I felt drowsy, which must have been the pill, and fell back into oblivion, but before I did, I felt the Doctor kiss my forehead.
I woke in the medbay again, but this time, not in much pain. Just a headache. I looked at my arms, and they were back to their pale hue, instead of bright red. I had no clue how long I had been asleep, I just knew I felt better. I know he was lying earlier about the glowing. It scared me….and I've seen ENOUGH Doctor Who to know what happens when someone reverses polarity energy. You DON'T glow. And he's a rubbish liar. I couldn't find the Doctor, so I got up and walked around. Right then he opened the door and grinned. "Ahh, you're awake! Here, this is the last thing you need. He came around the bed with a bottle of buzzing little yellow lights darting around. I gasped. "Are those…nanogenes?" He smiled. "Indeed they are." "I've always wanted to see them in person, I saw you use them on those gas mask people...they're so cool!" He seemed to phase out for a moment, as if reliving the memory of doing that, before quickly snapping out of it and putting the nanogenes on my head. Within 10 seconds the throbbing had subsided.
"Wow. That's amazing." I marveled, touching my head lightly.
"It certainly is."
We both looked up at each other at the same time. I cleared my throat first and looked away. Then I decided I had to know. Right then and there. I followed him to the console room and sat in the pilot chair.
"Doctor?"
He turned towards me slightly, "Yes?"
"I've watched the show long enough to know that reversing polarity energy doesn't make you glow." He had a look of shock for a moment before sighing and motioning me to sit down beside him on the pilot chair.
"Leah…" He looked at me with a grim face. "I ran some tests for the past few days when you were resting. You're right, reversing polarity energy doesn't make humans glow."
I raise my eyebrow as an indication to continue.
"But…" He paused. "It does make timelords glow. With…regeneration energy."
I'm so evil, I know. :3 please review to have the next chapter uploaded! 3 y'all!
