A woman appeared in a dark ether she turned around and saw a man dressed in a leather jacket approaching menacingly murmuring under his breath growing louder"…become nothing more than what I've always been a coward, running from myself." before fading.
More footsteps to the left turning again and seeing the same man just sitting on the floor staring into the distance "what have I done?" he intoned sullenly before fading once again. Growing frustrated with the situation she cried "what is this? Another test? Another fight? More insight? Whoever is doing this I hope you know who I am because this could go on for a long time.".
Turning again to find another man this one in the same jacket, looking worn and weary covered in an aura of malignant self-loathing "He was just a boy Ollistra, a boy with a good heart and now he is dead like so many others…."a pause and he looks straight at the woman "No more." before he too fades. She begins to frown before stating, "I've lived my life I don't need to see it again.". A deep gravelly voice reverberates around her "The man who keeps running, never looking back because he dare not out of shame.", the voice fades replaced by a more melodic voice with an incensed tone "The Doctor, the name for healer and wise man throughout the universe, when you left your home all those years ago did you ever think it would come to this? That you would become this?".
The woman turns franticly searching for the source of voice finding nothing as the voice continues, "You were so young" and the woman sees a man appear before her with wild hair and pin stripe suit staring down at her with gun in hand hatred in his eyes before the anger froze and he lowered his hand and said condescendingly" I never would…..Never.", before fading away.
Intoning into the Darkness the woman said clearly " I don't know what your doing but I'm starting to get an idea, if you want me scared you won't succeed, if you want me angry you've made a big mistake and succeeded there, so stop this before I do.".
Her defiant gaze cracks slightly as she sees a woman in a white dress with sophisticatedly elaborate brown hair and a man with wild hair and erratically bulging eyes dressed in a large coat with a brown hat and a long scarf. The man seemingly replies to the woman in the dress "You know Romana in all my years I not once did I think that anything good would come from the high council, and yet here you are.".
The woman in the dress replied "Well I expect so Doctor, I was chosen for a reason. However, I am also surprised as while you have not disappointed in the rumoured disrespect and disregard for rules and laws, the rumours forgot to mention just how kind and happy you are." The man replied darkly and quietly "I am not always so jovial Romana and though I try to be the man I hope to be I am in no way a good man. I am not legend, I am imperfect."
She replied "But you try Doctor, you always try to be nice and never fail to be kind, you are not like other Timelords I know, you are worth the trouble and the danger both." The woman sees the woman in the dress fade and before the man fades hears him say "Do I have the right?" before he too fades.
The Doctor sat up she was lying down beneath the coats and shirts in the wardrobe of her TARDIS," Must have fallen asleep somehow…" and she gets up and makes to go find her friends for another adventure hearing naught but the hum of the TARDIS and a lingering voice say" Doctor who?" she pauses and shivers before moving forward again calling out " Guys? You ready for another adventure?". Always running, from herself
