Lab

Martha had searched the entire room three times and found nothing, not even a tiny air vent. Maybe it wasn't meant to have air vents, maybe it was designed as more of a closet. The walls were pretty bare, but that could also be because it was an alien spaceship. She just wanted to find the Doctor and get out of here.

"Find anything, Martha?" Alex asked, turning away from the computer in the wall.

"Nothing, and I've checked three times."

"What about you Winn?"

"I don't know much about Zmije tech but this looks like a blaster," Winn said holding up something that looked like a piece of scrap metal, "And it should bust right through the wall."

"Are you sure?" Alex asked as Winn pointed the scrap metal thing at the wall.

"Not really, but it's worth a shot. No pun intended."

"If we're not sure it's going to work then let's not use it. I don't want to end up vaporized to something," Martha said.

"It's our only shot of getting out of here alive, and I don't do well in small places," Winn said.

"I think we should try it. I understand the risks, but the longer we stay in here the more information we give the Zmije. Go for it, Winn."

"All right, stand back. I don't know how powerful this is gonna be." Winn took a deep breath and pulled the trigger. It sent a green laser beam speeding towards the wall, but instead of breaking down the wall, the beam bounced back at them. Luckily for Winn, he was standing at a slight angle and the beam missed him, but it grazed Alex's arm. The beam then hit a weird nook in the wall and bounced a few more times and then stopped.

"Alex! Are you alright?" Winn asked running over to her.

"I'm fine, I think it just grazed me."

"I'm so sorry."

"Here let me have a look," Martha said grabbing Alex's arm, "It looks like a second-degree burn. You're lucky it's not worse. Winn, can you see if you can find me any water and bandages?"

Winn started looking through one of the cupboards on the walls looking for the supplies Martha needed.

"Martha I'm fine, I've had worse."

"I want to keep this burn from getting worse." Winn handed Martha something that looked to be water, "Now hold still." Martha poured the water over her wound then wrapped it up neatly. Alex looked over Martha's handy work.

"You'll make a good doctor, Martha."

"That's only if I can pass my exams."

"You'll do fine."

There was a quiet beep from the computer in the wall and Winn ran to check it out.

"Hey Alex, there's a new symbol by your stats."

"Really?"

"It must be because of your injury. I'm sorry about that."

"Don't worry about it, Winn. None of us knew it was going to happen."

"We should probably stop fooling around with their tech though. The Zmije probably just want us to hurt ourselves to learn more about us."

"Good point. I will no longer touch their tech. I cross my heart."

"Let's just hope Kara and J'onn can get us out of here."

"Me too," Winn said sliding down the wall onto the floor.

"Where are you, Doctor?" Martha muttered.

Prison ship

"Unauthorized cell breach!" The speaker said from all around them.

"Well, that's not good," The Doctor said.

"Can't you just shut it off with your sonic screwdriver?"

"I could if I could figure out where the speaker is."

"You're not going to have time for that Doctor," J'onn said, "We've got company." There were four Zmije guards running down the hallway with rather large laser blasters.

"Run!" The Doctor said taking off down the hallway.

"Why are we running? We can take out those guards," Supergirl shouted at the Doctor as they rounded a corner.

"You and J'onn might be able to take them but I can't."

Supergirl snorted, "A Time Lord being peaceful, what else is new?"

But the Doctor didn't seem to notice the comment, "And we're looking for one of these. A teleport matrix!"

"Why didn't we just use the one in our cell?" J'onn asked.

"Because these types of teleports can have nasty settings, I didn't want to accidentally trip one of those and sending us somewhere far away from Earth."

"You fiddling with this box isn't going to stop the guards."

"I just need a minute."

A laser blast flew down the hallway as Supergirl peaked around the corner, "You don't have a minute," she said.

"But we can give you a minute," J'onn said transforming into his true Green Martian form.

He nodded at Supergirl and they burst around the corner. They each disarmed a guard with ease and it became a punching match with the other two guards not wanting to hit their own.

The Doctor was working away at the teleport matrix overriding programs and disabling safeguards with his sonic screwdriver. He could do a better job with more time as he couldn't use the same coordinates as before without risking Martha and friends' lives.

"I've got it! Hold on!" The Doctor shouted and with one more bleep of his sonic screwdriver the teleport activated and they were sent back to Earth.

Alleyway

Supergirl almost lost her balance but the teleport wasn't too bad the second time around. She looked up and saw the J'onn had changed back into his human form. She also noticed that they weren't in the DEO.

"Why aren't we in the DEO?"

"I couldn't risk using the same coordinates in case there was a fail-safe to direct us somewhere else. And before you ask about your friends I couldn't grab them without using the same coordinates."

"Why didn't you just teleport us onto the main ship?"

"We get onto the main ship then what? If we find our friends then teleport back then how do we get rid of the Zmije? I don't think a human could survive two trips back to back in a Zmije teleport."

"What's your plan then, oh great Time Lord?"

"Whatever your plan is, Doctor, let's discuss it somewhere else. I don't want the Zmije finding our location." J'onn cut in before someone said something that they would regret.

"Let's head back to the DEO and sort figure out our next steps there."

"I think you've forgotten that the DEO is also compromised," the Doctor cut in, "Why do you think I teleported us here in the alley?"

"Because you got the coordinates of the DEO mess up."

"No, and I didn't even use coordinates to get us here. I was looking for traces of Artron energy and since I forgot to close the engines of my TARDIS there was a large enough signature to lock onto."

"Can't the Zmije do the same thing?" J'onn asked.

"Well, yeah. But Artron energy isn't a common energy trace to look for and if I close my engines there won't be a large enough signature to lock onto."

"Hold on a minute, is this just one big ploy to get us onto your ship? There's no way I'm stepping into your TARDIS or whatever."

"I never said you had to come," the Doctor said and turned towards his TARDIS.

J'onn had had enough of Supergirl trying to get a rise from the Doctor. He could almost feel the effects of Supergirl's words radiating from the Doctor.

"Kara, what's gotten into you?"

"Well sorry if I'm being rude but his people cause so many problems in the universe it's about time someone disrespects them."

"He's just trying to rescue his friend and he also happens to have a way to get back onto the ship."

"Whatever happened to figuring this stuff out ourselves? We don't need his help."

"He's offering to help and knows significantly more about the Zmije than any of us. Can you put aside the fact that he's a Time Lord and focus on saving Alex and Winn?"

Supergirl sighed, "Fine, but I still don't trust him. And when this is over we're all going to have a nice long chat."

J'onn walked over to the blue police box the Doctor had walked into earlier; it was an odd-looking spaceship, to say the least. There was no way all three of them were going to fit without a yelling match starting up. J'onn hoped for the best and knocked on the door.

TARDIS

The Doctor had just finished closing the engines when he heard someone knock on the door. He was hoping that Supergirl would have left and he could save Martha on his own. Her sly comments about Time Lords were bringing back some memories he wished he could forget. But he would probably need their help on the ship; the Zmije were known to be violent, he was not. He reluctantly walked over to the door and opened it just enough so he could be seen fully but the interior of the TARDIS stayed hidden.

"Do you have a way to get back on the ship and save our friends?" J'onn asked. At least it was J'onn asking and not Supergirl.

"Yeah, and I have a plan. Well, part of a plan. But it's all the same. And I could probably use your help."

"As we could use yours. Is this your Spaceship?"

"Yeah, come on in."

"Maybe it's best we discuss our plan out here, we would be pretty cramped in there."

"Na. Come on in!" The Doctor said and a wide grim beamed off of his face as he stepped away from the door letting J'onn and Supergirl into the TARDIS.
