NicoleR85: thanks!

frosty600: thank you!

Freya paused when she saw all those people milling about in area that Adam had just entered. she bit her lip as she watched Adam walk past people with ease. She couldn't just stand there! she had to keep an eye on him! But all those people…. The Time Lady shook her head focus Freya! A voice in her head scolded just keep your eyes on the human. Pretend no one else is there. Freya nodded, that she could do. She took a breath and entered the new area.

Eyes fixed on Adam, the Time Lady manoeuvred her way past people, tensing slightly when anyone brushed past her. She passed by several screens mounted on the wall which were playing various different clips. Freya paused and quickly backtracked to one particular screen. In the top right corner where the three words.

Bad Wolf Channel

She stared at the words, her hearts starting to speed up. She'd seen them once before when she first arrived on Earth. Well…by arrived it was more crash landed on Earth. She'd stumbled out of her ship, hand clutched against her side to stem the flow of blood and there is was right in front of her. It had been spray painted across a sign. A sign which had been decimated when her ship blew up mere moments later.

Freya hadn't thought much of it until she'd heard the tannoy announce the arrival of 'Bad Wolf One', Van Statten's helicopter. But now it had shown up, again. What in the universe does it mean? She thought. Once, she didn't think too much of it. Twice, seemed like a heck of a coincidence. Three times? Three times seems far more than a coincidence.

But she couldn't focus on that right now. Now she had a human to keep an eye on. Freya glanced about but didn't see him. Damn it! Why of why did I get distracted? She huffed and started her search for the boy. Hopefully she could find him soon, preferably before he got himself into even more trouble. As she searched for the missing boy, the Time Lady unknowingly passed close to the Doctor.

The Time Lord in question paused in his work when he felt the faint presence of the Time Lady in his mind. He glanced behind him, eyes darting from one person to the next. No Time Lady. He shook his head. Why did he think she was even in the vicinity? She was safely back in the TARDIS exploring to her hearts content. His mind must be playing tricks on him. It had been so long since he'd sensed another of his kind…of which happened to be his Soulmate.

"Are you alright Doctor?" Rose asked seeing that the Time Lord was a bit distracted.

"Yeah, I'm fine", he replied picking up a bundle of wires and continued his work.

The blonde glanced at Cathica who was looking rather anxious. She knew that the black woman didn't want to anything to do with what they were up to. But despite her protests, Cathica was still hanging around. "You know", Rose began "If you want to be useful, get them to turn the heating down. It's boiling. What's wrong with this place? Can't they do something about it?"

"I don't know!" Cathica said "We keep asking. Something to do with the turbine".

"Something to do with the turbine", the Doctor mocked.

"Well, I don't know!" Cathica almost shouted at him.

"Exactly. I give up on you, Cathica", the Doctor remarked "Now, Rose. Look at Rose. Rose is asking the right kind of question".

"Thank you", the teen said, pleased.

"Why is it so hot?" the Doctor asked.

"One minute you're worried about the Empire and the next it's the central heating!" Cathica exclaimed. She'd had about enough of this Doctor and his friend.

"Well, never underestimate plumbing. Plumbing's very important", the Doctor informed Cathica before he accidently snapped a bunch of wires causing the black woman to look away exasperated. With a bit more fiddling and a smidge of jiggery pokery, the Doctor managed to bring up the schematics of Satellite 5.

"This is ridiculous", Cathica scoffed as she looked at the screen "You've got access to the computer's core. You can look at the archive, the news, the stock exchange…and you're looking at pipes?"

"But there's something wrong", the Doctor pointed out.

"I suppose…"

"Why, what is it?" Rose asked.

"The ventilation system. Cooling ducts, ice filters, all working flat out channelling massive amounts of heat down", Cathica explained.

"All the way from the top", the Doctor said.

"Floor 500", Rose said nodding.

"Something up there is generating tons and tons of heat", the Doctor stated.

"Well, I don't know about you, but I feel like I'm missing out on a party", Rose remarked "It's all going on upstairs. Fancy a trip?"

"You can't. You need a key", Cathica informed them.

"Keys are just codes, and I've got the codes right here" the Doctor gestures to the screen and taps few keys "Here we go. Override 215.9"

"How come it's given you the code?" Cathica asked a little put out that these two strangers had been given the code whereas she'd never gotten it even after applying for three years.

The Doctor glance up at the security camera "Someone up there likes me", he said.


Freya was getting rather fed up. She'd circled the room countless times and still no sign of Adam. He must've gone to floor 16 she thought. She headed towards the lift determined to find the boy. As she neared, a young black woman stepped inside. Freya quickened her pace but unfortunately she stumbled, falling to her knees. She quickly got up almost falling over again in her haste. She was too late. The doors had already closed.

Freya grumbled under her breath, cursing the fact that she'd fallen. She should've been fine. She had been walking for some time and was pretty steady on her feet. Though it seemed she was going to have to practice running so the next time it called for it, she'd be able to do so without falling over.

The Time Lady sighed deciding the best course of action would be to wait for Adam to come back. In all likely hood he was going to as he seemed pretty intent on getting information from that computer. However, she wasn't going to stand around by the lift. She was going to have a wander to occupy her time and who knows? She might even find the human during her wander. That was if he'd come back without her noticing him.

She'd just almost completed her first little 'wander' of the area when she heard a very familiar voice screaming for help. "Adam!" she shouted taking off towards the scream. Freya tripped at least 3 times on the way to the source of the sound. She stopped dead in the doorway of the Spike Room, her eyes widening at what she saw. Adam was laying down on some sort of chair…writhing…screaming as a stream going from him into the device just above his head.

Her eyes grew wider when she saw the TARDIS key floating out of his pocket.

~Floor 500~

The Doctor's eyes widened when he saw Freya suddenly appear on the projection. What was she doing there? she was supposed to be in the TARDIS! He watched as she grabbed hold of the key, struggling to pull it away.

"Who is that?" the Editor demanded wondering who would dare intervene is such a manner.

"She's no one", the Doctor replied, his eyes still fixed on the projection. Freya yanked the key away and tossed it.

~floor 139~

The Time Lady turned back to the human boy once she'd thrown away the key. This was going to be the harder part. Getting him out of the chair. Freya grabbed hold of Adam and with three hard tugs, she pulled him off the chair making him land on the floor with a heavy thud.

~floor 500~

The Editor glared at the projection when he saw this. "Seems like your little plan failed", the Doctor said smugly to the man.

"It's no matter Time Lord. We have enough information and we'll get retrieve the key soon enough", the Editor said.

The Doctor scoffed "She's not gonna let you get the key", he said nodding to the projection.

"Oh, is that so?" the Editor asked, his glare turning into a smirk when he saw the female collapse "your little friend isn't going to put up that much of a fight. She's unconscious". At those words, the Doctor's head snapped back to the projection. His hearts clenched seeing that the man was right. His eyes flickered to Adam who also was slumped on the floor. Anger flared through him. It was that human's fault! His soulmate was in that state because of Adam's stupidity! Bloody stupid ape! He mentally growled. The Time Lord was going to deal with him, once he'd dealt with the Editor and the Jagrafess.

"Today, we are the headlines. We can rewrite history. We could prevent mankind from ever developing", the Editor continued still with a smirk. Oh how the Time Lord would love to smack that smirk right off his face!

"And no one's going to stop you because you've bred a human race that doesn't bother to ask questions", the Doctor said angrily "Stupid little slaves, believing every lie. They'll just trot right into the slaughter house if they're told it's made of gold".

Cathica, who'd been listening to this for where she had been hiding, nods to herself. She knew exactly what she had to do. She quickly made her way to floor 500's spike room and without hesitation, she tossed the corpse off the chair. Cathica sat down in the chair "Disengage safety", she commanded and the walls lit up around her. She ordered the room to override floor 139 "And spike!"

Blue light streamed into her mind. She thought about everything she'd seen and was told. She thought about the hidden truth of Satellite 5. It was working. Icicles on floor 500 were starting to melt. "It's getting hot", the Doctor commented noticing. The Editor tried to get Suki to terminate Cathica's access but it wasn't working.

Suddenly all the screens explode with sparks and the corpses fall to the floor. Rose's manacles come undone and she quickly searches the Doctor's jacket pocket for the sonic. "What do I do?" she asked once she had the instrument in her hand.

"Flick the switch!" the Doctor said almost with a sense of urgency. He had to get free! He needed to get to Freya, now! Rose does so and uses it on the Doctor's manacles. The second the Time Lord was free, he grabbed Rose's hand and dragged her out of the room. They stopped by floor 500's Spike Room for Cathica before going back down in the lift to floor 139. The Doctor watched the numbers move, practically bouncing on his feet with impatience.

The second the doors opened, the Doctor shot out, his eyes darting around for the Time Lady. When he spotted her, he dashed over and pulled her into a massive hug. "Are you ok? Are you hurt?" the Doctor asked stepping back slightly checking her over for injuries.

"Fine" Freya assured him "got…key" she took it out of her pocket, holding it out to him.

"Keep it", the Doctor said.

Freya frowned "Rose…key?" she asked confused. If it was Rose's key, why would the Doctor tell her to keep it? Surely he'd want his companion to have the TARDIS key back.

"Not anymore", the Doctor replied. The teen didn't deserve to have the key back, not after giving it to Adam like that. His companion better consider herself lucky that Freya was actually around to stop the Editor from getting his hands on it. The Time Lady popped the key back into her pocket. They then walked back over to Cathica.

"We're just going to go. I hate tidying up. Too many questions. You'll manage", the Doctor told her.

"You'll have to stay and explain it. No one's going to believe me", Cathica said.

"They…will", Freya said.

Cathica looked confused "I'm sorry?" she asked "I don't understand".

"She says that they will believe you", the Doctor translated "And the human race should accelerate. All back to normal", he added.

"What about your friend?" Cathica asked nodding to Adam.

"He's not my friend", the Doctor said not at all happy about what he did.

"Now don't…" Rose said but he just ignores her, storming straight over to Adam.

"I'm all right now. Much better", Adam laughed nervously, feeling rather uneasy under the Doctor's glare "It all worked out for the best, didn't it?"

The Doctor didn't say a word, he just grabbed Adam by the arm and dragged him back to the TARDIS. "You know, it's not actually my fault, because you were in charge", Adam insisted as the Doctor unlocked the door. The Time Lord just shoved the human inside, ignoring him completely.

~Adam's house~

The Doctor steers Adam out of the TARDIS once it had touched down in his house. "It's my house! I'm home! Oh, my god, I'm home!" Adam said. The Time Lord glared at him, he'd been very tempted to throw the boy into a black hole and he could've sworn that the TARDIS was in total agreement with him. Lucky for the human, Freya managed to talk him out of it though in doing so had caused her to have a mini coughing fit. Which of course made the Doctor more angry at Adam. If the idiot human hadn't done something so stupid, Freya wouldn't have spoken so much making her cough.

"Blimey I thought the TARDIS was going to chuck me out of an airlock", Adam said a little relieved about that as the ride had been anything but smooth.

"I was tempted to toss you into a black hole", the Doctor told him "lucky for you Freya talked me out of it".

"Thanks Freya", Adam said grateful that the Time Lady had done so. Freya only offered the boy a weak smile as she didn't want to risk speaking again, lest she starting coughing once more.

"Is there something else you want to tell us?" the Doctor asked folding his arms.

"No. Um…what do you mean?" Adam asked playing dumb. Freya rolled her eyes and pointed at the telephone where the answering machine had a blinking light, indicating there was a message.

The Doctor went over to the telephone and picks it up "The archive of Satellite 5. One second of that message could've changed the world" he sonics the telephone making it explode. He then walked back to the TARDIS "That's it, then. See ya"

"How do you mean, 'see ya'?" Adam asked.

"As in 'goodbye'", the Doctor elaborated.

"But…what about me? You can't just go. I've got my head. I've got a chip type two. My head opens", Adam said.

"What, like this?" the Doctor snapped his fingers, opening Adam's head.

"Don't", he snapped his fingers, closing his head.

"Don't do what?" the Doctor asked snapping his own fingers.

"Stop it!" Adam said angrily snapping his fingers again to close his head.

"All right now, Doctor, that's enough. Stop it", Rose said.

"Thank you", Adam said grateful that he still had Rose on his side. Then the blonde snapped her own fingers. "Oi!" he protested, snapping his fingers again, closing the little door in his head.

Rose sniggered "Sorry, I couldn't resist"

"The whole of history could have changed because of you", the Doctor said

"I just wanted to help", Adam said feebly.

"You…selfish…", Freya managed to say before she coughed. The Doctor gave her a concerned look.

"Look, I'm sorry", Adam said apologetically, thinking the Time Lady was laying into him as well due to the fact he couldn't understand a word she said "I am, I really am, but you can't just leave me like this".

"Yes I can", the Doctor shot back "'Cause if you show that head to anyone, they'll dissect you in seconds. You'll have to live a very quiet life. Keep out of trouble. Be average, unseen. Good luck" the Doctor opened the TARDIS door.

"But I want to come with you!"

"I only take the best. I've got Rose and Freya", the Doctor said.

Suddenly Adam's mother came through the front door sending Adam into a panic "Rose…take me with you", he pleaded in a last attempt. Rose just looked at him and went into the TARDIS without saying anything.
