AN: I actually wrote this ages ago. It's a mixture of 'I can't brain' and 'let's progress this shit' that has motivated the posting of this chapter. This was actually going to be the original 'Bad Wolf' moment, but the other one fitted in better.

Sleepy Gecko: the next chapter is all motivated by you and your lovely review. Because I can't wait to show you how Rose reacts to things :D

Disclaimer:

I own nothing you recognise. This is all completely un-beta'd and totally fresh off the top of my brain!


Phil is staring down the shaft of an arrow. Hawkeye is staring down the barrel of a gun. Neither twitch.

Until the arrowhead splinters into gold dust and peels away, creeping up the shaft to devour the fletching. Hawkeye swears and throws the disintegrating bow away from him before it reaches his fingers.

She appears, glitter dripping from her eyes and mouth. Sparks alight in her hair. "Bring him in." The voice that trickles from her tongue is echoed by a howling tempest.

Hawkeye throws his hands towards Phil, wrists bared for cuffs. They're clapped on and he's taken away.

When Phil turns to Rose, her eyes are brown again. She smiles, a sad little smile, and leads him back to their transport.
