Hey everyone! How you all doing?! This chapter will be really cool and were going to see Jenny starting to recover, but she and Ben are also going to be put into a position that neither of them are expecting.
This chapter will be full of humour, so please enjoy!
…...
Jenny held onto her crutches as she slowly walked across her hospital bed room. It had been three days since she had awoken and her Time Lord abilities were healing her up incredibly fast.
Ben sat in the corner and watched her as she tried to grab some water. He shot up when he saw her shakily reach for it and was by her side within seconds.
"Stop. I'll do it." Ben said, placing one hand on the small of her back and the other hand to the cup. He held it up and brought it to her lips and Jenny drank the whole glass, feeling refreshed.
"Thanks. But don't get used to it, when I'm back to full health I won't need you with me twenty four seven." Jenny said a little harsher then she had meant to.
"Oh, right." Ben said, his hand falling from her back.
"Well, maybe just every twelve hours or so." Jenny said with a smirk as she turned to face him.
He laughed and he helped her across the room back to her bed, which she sat on the edge of.
Over the last few days Jenny and Ben had gotten to know each other really well, although he had told her a lot about him before hand, he was still a great listener as Jenny told him of her stories.
"You know when we were down in that facility and you took that Gretcah's memories. You said that they were somewhere that couldn't be possible. What did you mean by that?" Ben asked as he looked at Jenny.
Jenny wasn't sure how to explain, she hadn't even told the Doctor about it, not fully.
"The Gretcah, I thought they were something the Eternals had found in the Void, something that was made from the darkness of the Void itself. And at first I thought I was right. I saw them, floating, starving in the Void and they were…" Jenny looked at Ben's face. He seemed confused and he let out a small smile as she giggled slightly. "You have no idea what the Void is do you?" Jenny asked as she continued to giggle.
"Nope!" Ben said, giving her one of his best silly smiles.
"The Void is an area between this Universe and all the Parallel Universes that co-exist between reality. The Void has no colour, or tone, or feeling. The Eternals fled into it and they found the Gretcah." Jenny said and Ben nodded, actually understanding what she was saying. "The Eternals thought that the Gretcah were made by the Void, but they weren't. The Gretcah are impossible…"
"Why?" Ben asked as he looked at her, his face lit up in worry.
"Because Ben, they…" Jenny was cut off as a rumble ripped through the Crucible and the power went off.
"What the fuck!" Ben said as he looked out of the door. People were rushing by and he grabbed hold of one of the male nurses. "I'm captain Ben Spears, what's happening?"
"No idea, all powers just gone off. We can't get to any floors and the Crucible has gone into shutdown. Most of the nurses are on the upper floors. We can't get off this floor and the air supply won't last forever. Now, if you'll excuse me I've got patients!" The Male nurse said before running down the corridor.
Jenny stood up slowly and made for the door.
"Where are you going?!" Ben asked, getting in her way.
"To find out what the hell is going on. Now get out of my way!" Jenny said, walking forwards.
Ben grabbed her and within second gently pinned her to the wall.
"If you think I'm letting you out of her you have another thing coming, I'm not going to let you get hurt again." Ben said, his face inches from hers.
"Then come with me, idiot." Jenny said, using all her strength and pushing him off of her. "I didn't plan to run into any danger anyway."
Be quickly recovered and followed Jenny out of the room.
"What if it's the Eternals… or the Daleks?!" Ben asked as another nurse rushed by, she looked distressed and Jenny was sure she heard someone screaming.
"It won't be the Daleks!" Jenny said as she carried on down the hall.
"Oh yeah, how do you know that?!" Ben snapped back, his hands on Jenny's waist as he was scared to let her walk to far in front of him in case of danger.
"I killed them all!" Jenny shot him a look back as she said it and Ben let go of her, realising she could handle herself.
Reaching an intercom station, Jenny pressed a button and a small face came on the screen.
"What the hell is going on up there!" Jenny shouted at the woman in front of her.
"The Crucible is in shutdown. We ask all patients to stay with us and hope for the best. Systems should be up and running soon." The message repeated twice before Jenny turned it off.
"There automated in cases like this." Ben said, only now thinking to add that in.
"Yeah, I guessed that. So, where is the medical bay in the Crucible?" Jenny asked looking at Ben.
"The very bottom." Ben said, his face looking even more solemn. "They designated it the lowest priority, we have about four hours of air left. They figured if people are sick, then they are going to be useless anyway."
"So we lose air first." Jenny nodded in realisation. Suddenly, Ben had his arms wrapped around her and she wrapped hers around him, not wanting to lose him now she had him, well, she didn't have him technically, did she?
"I won't let you die Jenny. I promise." Ben said as what sounded like an explosion a good way away happened.
Another scream came from another private room and Jenny and Ben let go of each other. Ben raised his gun and Jenny raised her crutch.
Ben raised his eyebrow at Jenny's choice of weapon and Jenny merely shrugged and nodded at the door where the screaming came from.
Ben kicked open the door and they rushed in to a sight that Jenny nor Ben was expecting.
Two nurses looked up in bewilderment as Martha Jones laid in bed, screaming in agony.
"Well don't just stand there! We've got a baby on the way and we don't have enough staff! Were going to need all the help we can get!" The nurse said, throwing two clinical aprons at them.
"Jenny! Your alive! AAARRH!" Martha screamed as another contraction came.
Jenny and Ben looked at each other. They were in a Shutdown, something was attacking the Crucible, the air was running out fast and Martha Jones was about to give birth.
Jenny didn't think things could get any worse.
But she was oh so wrong.
…...
Omega watched as the doors opened. He sat in his throne as two Eternals dragged a man dressed in tweed towards him.
"Hello Doctor." Omega said as he stood and the Doctor was forced to kneel before him.
"Omega. What have you done?" The Doctor asked, as he was held by two Eternals and other Eternals lined the walls.
"Oh, this is just the beginning Doctor. I'm going to destroy everything in this Universe and then build my own empire and nothing shall stop me! Now, tell me where the Time Pieces are!" Omega warned, looking at the Doctor angrily.
"No." The Doctor simply said as the Eternals put more pressure on his arms.
"Fine then, I'll find someone who will tell me! Tell the Gretcah to leave anyone who smells like a Time Lord alive and to notify an Eternal. Have them all captured and brought here, because from what I have heard Doctor, you have quite the collection…" Omega said with a smirk. "Take him away."
The Doctor looked shocked and defeated as he was dragged away. They were going to get Jenny and River. They were going to win…
…...
So now Omega has the Doctor! But did the Doctor forget about another partial Time Lord on the Crucible?!
Shutdown will be a group of four chapters! The next two chapter will focus on River and Gwen trying to save Jenny, Ben and Martha!
And Chapter Four shall return to Jenny, Ben and Martha again!
And lets just say, the next two chapters are going to make the action in Die Hard look like My Little Pony!
