Last Time: he pulled on another fake smile and said, "Now, the Opal Galaxy."
As the Doctor was setting the coordinates to go to the Opal Galaxy, the Tardis groaned and then the console started sparking. The Tardis was rocking and Amy had to scream over all the groaning, "Doctor, what's happening?!" She had grabbed one of the railings, and Rory and River had done the same.
"It's the Tardis, someone has locked onto it. It's being dragged across time and space, by something powerful!" He screamed back. Then all was still, and they all stood up. The Doctor looked at the door, and smiled widely, "Ooooh, a new adventure. What do you thinks out there?" The Doctor asked.
"Another very scary and dangerous alien that most likely wants to kill us." Rory suggested.
"Exactly what I was thinking," The Doctor said, his smile growing wider. "Oh, this is exciting. Amelia would you do the honors?" He said walking beside the doors.
"Of course, Doctor." She said, bouncing to the door. Rory and River followed standing behind the Doctor. Amy pulled open the door and they all piled out the door, what they saw shocked them all.
The Professor was tied to a chair and she looked pale, and extremely exhausted. She didn't have her gun or her jacket, all she was wearing was a black tank top and black jeans. "Professor?" River said and she ran to her side, pulling at the restraints. The Doctor was frozen, Amy grabbed his sonic screwdriver out of his pocket and handed it to River, "Thanks Amy." She opened the first restraint and the Professor zapped to life, she used the free hand to try and grab Rivers throat, but River grabbed her wrist before she could, "Professor, it's me River." The Professor seemed to calm down then she groaned, "What's wrong?" River asked, getting the other restraint
"If your River," The Professor said, looking at her, "Then I'm not hallucinating again, and that's the real Doctor." She said weakly pointing at the still stunned Doctor. River got the leg restraints off and she helped the Professor up, the Doctor snapped out of his trance and tried to help the Professor walk, she hit off both their hands, "Stop it, I'm not dying, and I'm not fragile. I'm fine, now you guys can leave and I will go to my Tardis, please." She said, trying to stand tall and failing miserably. She took a step towards the black door and fainted. On instinct the Doctor reached out and caught her.
He sighed and picked her up bridal style. Her head fell against his chest, and he sighed again, "So stubborn." He muttered, as he brought her into his Tardis and carried her into the med bay. Amy, Rory, and River followed close behind. He set her down on one of the beds and sat down beside her.
"What's wrong with her?" River asked urgently. The Doctor got up and turned on the machine next to the bed, it beeped and he hit it in frustration, "What's wrong?" River asked again.
"Nothing," He said in frustration, "Everything is perfectly normal, her vitals are fine, her heart rates are normal. She's just… tired." He said, sitting back down and staring at the comatose Professor.
Amy, put a hand on his shoulder, "She's going to be okay." She said, reassuringly. She didn't really like the Professor considering, she had upset the Doctor so much. But the love and adoration was clearly visible whenever he laid eyes on the Professor.
The Doctor didn't looked convinced and Rory's inner nurse kicked in, "Doctor, her body is just healing and for that she needs rest. She'll be fine." Rory said, putting a hand on his other shoulder.
"We need to figure out who did this to her." River said, pacing.
"Only she can tell us that." The Doctor said, throwing his hands up in frustration.
"So we wait." Amy suggested.
The Doctor groaned, "We need to be patient." Rory said.
"I hate being patient. Patience is for wimps." He said, pointing at Rory.
"Oh, well that's not very nice." A voice croaked out. The Doctor turned and saw the Professor awake and smiling slightly.
She tried to sit up but he pushed her back down, "No, you need to rest."
She pouted and hit his hands away, "Stop it, I'm still mad at you." She said, weakly. She sat up and groaned, "God I have a headache." She rubbed her temples. She pouted again, and her hand absently went to her waist, "Where's my gun?" She asked.
"We found you without it," The Doctor said. "How come it takes you to be tied up and hurt for us to be together again?" He asked, smiling slightly.
She laughed, then flinched, "I'm not hurt. I am perfectly fine."
"No you are most definitely not fine." Rory said, pushing her back down, she scowled at him but obeyed.
"Then what's wrong with me?" She challenged. There was silence, "That's what I thought." She said, and she quickly stood up, wobbling a bit in the process. "Now, if you will excuse me. I have to meet an old friend." She said, a pained expression on her face.
"Professor you can't just walk out there." River said, blocking her way. "I mean whatever's out there is powerful, you'll get yourself killed."
"I know what's out there, and it's not powerful. He's weak and scared and he needs help. Now I will be going." She said, walking out of the med bay. River sighed and followed her. Amy Rory and the Doctor practically ran after both of them. They all followed the Professor out of the Tardis and back into the room with the chair. They all took the moment to actually examine the room around them. It had white walls, one white door, and a mirror that probably wasn't an actual mirror. The Professor walked to the white door and pulled it open. On the other side was a black hallway that led to a wooden door. She walked down the hallway and stopped in front of the door, the others close behind. "River, give me your gun." She said, holding out her hand. River sighed and put it in her hand. The Professor cocked it and then she turned and grabbed the Doctor's sonic screwdriver out of his coat pocket.
She pointed it at the door and the Doctor said, "It doesn't work on wood."
"It's not wood." She stated, as she pressed the button. It whirred and then everyone heard the lock click. She pushed open the door and raised the gun. It looked like a regular office, there were chairs and a desk. On the other side of the desk, there was a big black chair, it's back to them. The Professor pointed the gun at the chair with a grimace.
"Hello Professor." A voice spoke.
The Doctor gasped as the chair swiveled around to reveal a blonde-headed guy with a psychopaths smile. The Professor smiled a bitter smile, "Hello Master."
