Chapter 10: Darlene Meets Faith
When The TARDIS landed. All Darlene could do was smile with glee. The excitement and the rush of just being alive, made her feel like the luckiest person in the world, and hey, she had just done an impossible thing, but thanks to Alex's teachings she knew how to properly fly the TARDIS. "Done and" she said when she pressed one last button "done!" At this Alex couldn't help but laugh when he saw how well that Darlene had handled flying the TARDIS.
Even he had some troubles with it himself, that's why ID helped out more often, speaking off ID, the Droid had entered the console room "whilst I applaud your return Mistress Darlene, could you please not fly this ship any more, it's my job after all, to make sure this ship stays in one piece" when ID said this all Darlene could do was laugh and say
"Glad to see you to ID" she then looked at Alex and opened the doors "all in a day's work" when she said this Sky came out and when she noticed him she smiled and said "hey, you're back, what do you think?"
"I think you did great" Sky said, although he wasn't as interested as he should have been, he wasn't focused on the task at hand, Alex wondered whether his brother was going to snap again, and his split personality would return. When Sky saw what Darlene was dressed in he said "I think you need a change of clothes"
"Great idea" Darlene said looking at herself in the TARDIS scanner "you two boys wait here's, whilst I get my battle armour on" at this Sky couldn't help but laugh and say
"You have battle armour?"
"Gotta be ready for any occasion" Darlene said happily "who knows, between now and later, anything could happen" and with that she walked down to the TARDIS wardrobe to get changed. It was at that exact time Faith came up from her room in the TARDIS console. When Darlene passed her, Faith gave her a strange look and then looked back at Alex.
"She seems to be taking this rather well"
"She'll get used to it" Alex said when he saw Faith "immortality, it's quite a thing to get used to" he smiled and said "how long did it take you by the way?"
"Oh me?" Faith said she laughed "I think it was probably between either 100 years, or 200, give or take a few days" at this Alex couldn't be sure whether or not she was joking "don't worry about your friend" Faith said geninually serious now "I'll help her in anyway I can" she looked at her cards and felt a vision coming on. Which was still so weird and yet so comfortable at the same time.
She was used to them by now although her visions of the world ending were somewhere in between the no go area. This one was a much pleasant experience, If you call being forced to watch the world on ruins, a pleasant experience. Faith thought that her visions would give her clarity, in stead they always came jumbled up and not very clear. And she wondered whether that had to do with the many years of living in the universe.
"I'm ok" Faith said once the vision had stopped "I'm fine" although she clearly wasn't she was clearly disturbed by what she saw, and she would need to consult her cards for this one "I don't know what I saw" Faith said to Alex and Sky "which is rare even for me, but based on my last vision, sorry for that one by the way" she directed this at Alex who looked says when she said this, Faith had predicted Ahsoka would turn dark, and she did "you'd think I'd be used to these kind of things by now huh"
Sky didn't know what to say, instead her helped her and stood next to her as she sat down on one of the chairs in the console room. "I hate my visions" Faith muttered to herself which was something Sky never expected her to say, but once Faith looked at him seriously "you don't know the kind of hell they put me through"
"I think I get the idea" Sky said, and then just as he was about to say more. Darlene came back from getting changed, and Sky almost did a double take at what he saw her dressed in. She was dressed in black leather from head to toe. And no matter what she wore, she always looked sexy. And Sky blushed when he saw her "whoa" he said in awe.
"Ready?" She said looking at the doors, "cause I sure as hell am" Faith and Darlene looked at each other and said "don't believe we've been introduced, Darlene Turner" she gave her hand to Faith to shake which Faith gladly did
"Faith" Faith replied "I've heard a lot about you"
"Nice to be known" she said smiling and then she looked at Sky "you ready?"
"Hell yeah"
"Then let's go" Darlene said but not before looking at Faith and saying "nice to meet you"
"Very nice to meet you too, I only wish it were under better circumstances"
"Ha" Darlene laughed "I like you Faith, I'm sure we're gonna be great friends," at this Faith smiled and then standing up, walked out of the TARDIS door with the rest of Team Avatar...
