The Unexpected Journey

"So tell me, Sierra," The Doctor said, dancing around the console with what he deemed to be grace. But in all honesty he looked like a baby deer in five inch high heels. "Have you ever heard of the Avengers?"

"I've heard of them." Sierra said. "When Kyre was here, she showed me a couple of the movies."

"Well, their new movie just came out and I was wondering if you… um…" He suddenly became nervous. "If you would… um…"

"Yes?" Sierra asked.

The Doctor swallowed hard. "If you would like to go on… a date… with me… to the movie…?"

Sierra grinned from ear to ear. "Of course."

The Doctor smiled then ran around the console, putting in the coordinates of the nearest movie theater. The TARDIS complied and they headed out. But when they got to their destination, it wasn't quite what they expected.

"Doctor," Sierra said, confused. "The monitor shows that we're in someone's backyard."

"Well thats not right." He said. "But I'm sure that we're close." He took Sierra's hand and led her out the door.

They looked around for a moment and the Doctor looked very confused. "Okay, I have no idea where we are."

"Ummm… can I help you guys?" The young woman asked, taking a few steps closer. They turned around and looked at the two teens. "Yes," The Doctor said. "Could you please tell us where the new Avengers movie is showing?"

"There is no movie." The young woman said, confused. "They've never made an Avengers movie."

The Doctor and Sierra looked confused. "What do you mean?" The Doctor asked.

"There isn't an Avengers movie." The girl said plainly. "There never has been."

"How do you know?" Sierra asked.

"Because I live with the Avengers. And if someone made a movie about them, I would know."

A light bulb seemed to go off in The Doctor's head. "Oh! I know where we are." He said. "But where are my manners? Allow me to introduce myself and my companion. This is Sierra and I am The Doctor."

"The Doctor?" The girl asked with a raised eyebrow. "As in: Time Lord, sonic screwdriver, TARDIS, Gallifrey, Doctor?"

He nodded.

"But that's not possible." The boy insisted. "He's a TV character."

"No I'm not." The Doctor said defensively.

"Yes you are." He said. "And it's also not possible because you look nothing like him."

"What do you mean?"

The boy took out his phone and pulled up a picture of Peter Capaldi as the twelfth Doctor.

"How did you get a picture of my twelfth regeneration?"

"Because he's an actor!" He exclaimed. "And you-"

"Okay, that's enough." The girl said, cutting her friend off. "First, I'm Jackie and the Doctor Who fanatic is Caleb. Second, why are you asking about an Avengers movie? There's no such thing."

"How do you know?" Sierra asked.

"Sierra, they're telling the truth." The Doctor said.

"Okay how about this." Caleb said. "If you're really who you say you are, then take us inside the police box."

"Alright." The Doctor said. They led us inside the police box and opened the door.

"Oh. My Gosh." Jackie said with a gaping mouth.

"It.. it's bigger on the inside!" Caleb exclaimed. Jackie looked over at him and could practically see how hard he was trying not to start fangirling all over the place. He wasn't doing a very good job.

"How come it's so dark?" Jackie asked.

"When we care here, the majority of the energy was depleted. Why, I have no idea." The Doctor explained with a sigh.

"OH! I know!" Caleb said. "This totally makes sense now."

"Do explain." Sierra said.

"Jackie and I thought you were just a TV character, and you guys thought that the Avengers were from a movie. We're from different realities."

The Doctor smacked his forehead. "Why didn't I think of that?!" His expression changed. "But the last time I traveled to another reality, it nearly killed the TARDIS."

"That's right." Caleb said. "Traveling through the void would do that."

"How do you know that?"

"It was in one of the episodes."

"Okay then…"

"How are we going to get home then?" Sierra asked.

A light bulb went off in my Jackie's head. "What about using an Arc reactor as a power source." She suggested. "Maybe that could kick start the TARDIS."

"That will work." The Doctor said.

"Then follow me." Jackie said, leading them into the lab. Where Tony Stark was waiting. And he did not look happy.

"Where have you been?" He asked Jackie sternly. "We have been looking everywhere for you."

"We?" Jackie asked. "Are Bruce and Steve home?"

Tony nodded. "And they're not too happy with your little disappearing act either."

"Are Captain Rogers and Doctor Banner here?" The Doctor asked, stepping into the conversation.

"Yes and…" When Tony saw the Doctor, his mood almost immediately changed. "Oh, its good to see you again, Doctor." he said, shaking his hand.

Jackie looked like her brain just exploded. "YOU KNOW EACH OTHER?!"

Tony nodded. "We met a few years ago. You were about seven."

"Wait, this is Jackie?" The Doctor said, he turned to her. "You've gotten so big!"

"HOW THE HECK DO I NOT REMEMBER ANY OF THAT?!" Jackie exclaimed.

Tony chuckled.

"To be honest, Mr. Stark," The Doctor said, "My companion, Sierra and I came here completely by accident. And now my TARDIS is nearly dead."

"Interreality travel will do that." Tony said. "Since your last visit, I've been working on something for that." He went to one of the cupboards and pulled out a silver sphere about the size of a grapefruit. "This'll keep the power from running out and allow your TARDIS to travel into all sorts of realities."

"Thank you," the Doctor said, reaching for the sphere. Tony held it back.

"Now if you'll let me install-"

"No." The Doctor said quickly. "I'm not going to let you poke around the inside of my TARDIS with all your little tools and things."

Tony started pouting. "Pretty please…?"

The Doctor shook his head.

"What about us?" Caleb asked. "Can Jackie and I help?"

The Doctor thought about it. "Alright. But only if Sierra can have lunch with Captain Rogers."

"Deal!" Jackie said, trying to hold back her excitement.

"Tony!" Steve called. "Have you found Jackie?"

"Yeah!" Tony shouted back as Steve walked down to the lab. "Oh and the Doctor's here."

"Nice to see you again, Doctor." Steve said, shaking the Doctor's hand. Then he turned to Sierra. "And you must be…"

"I'm Sierra." She said. Steve shook her hand and I could plainly see that she was trying not to freak out just as much as Caleb and I were. Only she was doing a good job of it.

"Its a pleasure to meet you." Steve said.

About a half hour later, Caleb and Jackie were working in the TARDIS with the Doctor and Sierra.

"I still can't believe this is actually happening!" Caleb said to me, his voice squeaked in excitement. "We're actually inside the actual TARDIS with the actual, real life, Doctor!"

Jackie laughed. "It is pretty sweet. And who know, they might come back to visit some time."

Caleb's eyes lit up. "I can't tell you how amazing that would be."

"Caleb, can you come over here and give me a hand?" The Doctor called.

Caleb got up and walked over to the Doctor. "What do you need my help with, sir?"

"Well for starters, please don't call me "sir"." The Doctor said. "It just sounds weird."

"Yes sir- oh sorry." Caleb said, flustered. "I just tend to do that for people that I respect."

"How can you respect someone that you just met?" The Doctor asked, fiddling with some of the controls and wiring on the console.

"Well, if you've heard about all the great things that person has done, then it's hard not to." Caleb explained. "Like, I've never met Neil Armstrong but I still respect him for what he did?"

"And what about me?" The Doctor asked. "What have I done that was so great?"

Caleb looked shocked. "You're kidding right? You've saved countless lives and prevented millions of tragedies from happening. You saved your own people from the Time War for crying out loud."

"How do you know about that?" The Doctor asked a little too quickly.

"Everything you've ever done is a TV show or me. I've seen it all." Caleb said. "At least up until your twelfth… er… thirteenth regeneration. It depends on who you ask."

"What do you mean?"

"Well here, people don't really count your regeneration where you fought in the Time War as a regeneration. Mostly because we didn't see any of it."

"Ah." The Doctor said. "Well, the old man with the eyebrows was my thirteenth."

"Which on are you on right now?"

The Doctor smiled slightly. "Ninety-seven."

Caleb's jaw dropped and the Doctor laughed.

"Hey can I borrow your sonic screwdriver?" Caleb asked after they worked for a few moments in silence.

"Do you know how to use it?"

Caleb nodded and the Doctor handed it to him. Seconds later, the device was installed and they were ready to get it started.

"Wow." The Doctor said, surprised. "You're very good with that."

"Thanks." Caleb said. "Jackie! It's all ready to go."

Jackie and Sierra walked over to them.

"Now, let's see if this thing works." The Doctor said. He pulled a lever on the console and suddenly, all the power came back on.

"Squeet!" Caleb said. "It works."

They all raised an eyebrow at him. "Did you mean sweet?" Jackie asked him.

"No, I meant squeet." Caleb said.

"I like it." The Doctor said with a smile."Squeet… I'm gonna use that now."

The four of them walked back to the house and after a delicious lunch made by Steve, the Doctor and Sierra had to go.

"Come back and visit sometime." Jackie said.

"We'll try." Sierra said. "It was sure nice to meet you all."

"Oh, Caleb," The Doctor said reaching into his pocket. "I have something for you." He pulled out a brand new sonic screwdriver and handed it to Caleb.

Caleb was absolutely speechless and for a moment, he looked like he was about to faint. "I'll take good care of it/" Caleb said, taking it from the Doctor.

"Make sure that you do." The Doctor said. "And don't just put it on a shelf for it to gather dust. Actually use it."

"I will." Caleb said.

They finished saying their goodbyes and The Doctor left with Sierra.

"Well they were sure nice." Sierra said as the TARDIS took off and started flying through the time vortex.

"Yes they were." The Doctor said. "Did you enjoy having lunch with Captain America?"

Sierra nodded vigorously. "It was amazing." She gave him a big hug. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." The Doctor said, hugging her back.

"Hey, is everything okay?" Sierra asked. Something in the Doctor's eyes was different. He looked like his mind was elsewhere.

"Yeah, I'm fine." He said. "I just had this weird thought."

"What was it?"

"I'm sure it's nothing."

Suddenly, the TARDIS jolted and sent them tumbling to the floor.

"What's going on?" Sierra asked.

The Doctor helped her to her feet as they got the TARDIS under control. He looked at the screen and his face turned to a blank expression.

"Doctor, what is it?"

He looked at her and she could see a spark of worry in his eyes. "Kyre's in trouble."
