"You might as well as give up my dear." Journey's cellmate, a man by the name of Bracewell, told her while he stood in the corner. Journey took a step back from the door she had been desperately trying to open and looked towards Bracewell with annoyance.

"Why aren't you helping? The Daleks will kill us if we don't escape." Journey replied as she walked away from the door, not wanting to admit that he was right and knowing that he probably wouldn't have been much help. She still wanted know why he was prepared to just stand there and accept his fate, as even the most suicidal and hopeless of solders would still try to take a Dalek down with them.

"Because there's nothing we can do Miss Blue. Neither one of us have the equipment to make the door open nor do we have weapons to fight the Daleks." Bracewell explained with the calm and collect tone of a teacher who takes pride in teaching, something Journey found strangely annoying in this moment. "The only chance we have of survival is if my friend comes to help us."

Journey struggled to laugh in his face, and she could honestly say she did pretty well despite how she visibly shook. "No offense, but I don't think your friend is coming. Nobody would be crazy enough to attack a Dalek base, even if they had an army on their side."

"Well my friend is known to be crazy, and she enjoys situations that are incredibly dangerous. Besides I imagine there are plenty of people who would fight the Daleks to rescue you." Bracewell said with a smile that soon vanished when he saw the sad expression on Journey's face. "Did I say something wrong?"

"No, its fine." she replied with a cold and aggressive tone, but Bracewell didn't seem to be worried.

"If you're right and my friend doesn't come, I might be the last person you eve talk to. So if there's anything you would like to get off your chest, I'm happy to listen."

Journey hesitated for a moment, thinking his offer rover before deciding that there wouldn't be any harm in it. Like he said he was going to be the last person she ever talked to.

"I haven't talked to my uncle in seven months. I basically just left him and never even messaged him to let him know I was alright. We're all we have left and he's never going to want to talk to me ever again. He definitely hates me." Journey explained while fighting back the tears that always came when she thought of her uncle.

"I'm sure that's not true. He is most likely very hurt, but I doubt he would hate you." Bracewell said in an attempt to comfort her.

"Oh he does hate me. I know he does." Journey hesitated before continuing, not wanting to slip up and reveal that she travels with a Dalek. "I left to travel with someone but they refused to bring me, and I didn't want to go back to him so I left with someone he hated instead. He won't ever forgive me for leaving him like that."

"But he might. Everyone always assumes the worst of everyone else but in my experience people can be rather forgiving. He might be angry but he might forgive you. You never know unless you take the chance." Bracewell told her and Journey was about to argue, though a part of her wondered if there was truth to his words, when there was a loud bang from the other side of the door.

"What was that?" Journey asked in surprise though after a second she was able to place the sound. It was a sound not that different from the sound of a Dalek being destroyed, noticeable by the brief electronic scream masked by the explosion.

"If I had to guess, that would be my crazy friend." Bracewell told her with a smile as the door began to open, though it quickly vanished when the door opened to allow a familiar Dalek to enter.

"JOURNEY BLUE. ARE YOU INJURED?" Rusty asked as his eyestalk glanced in the direction of the shocked Bracewell for only a moment.

"I'm fine Rusty. Thanks for coming to get me." Journey replied while hoping she hid her surprise well. Even though she had made it her goal to keep the ship impossible for him to pilot, she had doubted he would come all this way to rescue her.

"Rusty, couldn't you have been any louder? I'm pretty sure there are one or two Daleks who don't know we're here." said a blond woman who emerged from behind Rusty, glaring at the Dalek before smiling at the two prisoners. "Bracewell! Good to see you again."

"It's good to see you again as well Doctor."

"Wait, Doctor?" Journey asked in confusion as she observed the blond woman. "Doctor who?"

"Just the Doctor. It's me Journey, the old Scottish bloke with short hair." the woman replied as she pulled her hair back in an attempt to make it look shorter. "Do you see the resemblance? I'm trying my best but the most noticeably thing about that last face were the eyebrows."

"You're trying to tell me you're him? You're the Doctor? No I'm not buying it, who are? Is it some kind of title or something that's passed on?"

"INCORRECT. THERE IS ONLY ONE DOCTOR. THE ANNOYING FEMALE IS THE DOCTOR."

"You see, listen to your Dalek friend." the woman said with a smile that quickly disappeared. "Hang on, what do you mean annoying female?"

"YOU TALK TOO MUCH."

"Oh you know what, why don't you you stay here and get blown up with the rest of the Daleks." the woman, the Doctor, said with a wave of her a Mr before gesturing to Journey and Bracewell. "Come on we need to get out of here."

It turned out the the Doctor and Rusty had rigged the base to explode since Journey and Bracewell were the only prisoners. As they escaped the Doctor talked about Journey's encounter with the male Doctor, knowing things she couldn't possibly know unless she had been there herself. With Journey unable to prove she wasn't the Doctor and Rusty also claiming she was telling the truth, the soldier had no choice but to accept that she was telling the truth. Eventually the git ought the base just in time too see it be destroyed by a magnificent explosion, and the four began walking to where they had left Journey's ship. The journey had been pretty silent except for brief conversations, where Journey learned that Bracewell was an android created by the Daleks and a little but more about the Doctor's ability to regenerate, until the ship was in sight and the Doctor spoke up.

"Journey, can I talk to you for a moment." she whispered before stopping, and in confusion Journey followed her lead. Rusty and Bracewell meanwhile continued walking in deep conversation, Bracewell clearly being fascinated by a Dalek which hated it's own kind.

"What's wrong?

"Are you sure you want to go with him?" she asked as she gestured towards Rusty. "I mean, you have to know its not safe. You practically live with him on that ship, he could kill you whenever he wanted."

"You didn't care about that before. If you thought it was dangerous why did you let it go, why didn't you kill it?" Journey asked angrily, not sure where this desire to defend to defend Rusty came from. She certainly didn't trust it and was always aware that the biggest monster in the universe lived with her, but she guessed that she didn't like how the Doctor seemed to be judging her.

"I let him go because he wanted to kill all the Daleks, and maybe I should have checked to see if he was a danger to anyone else. I admit that, I was just disappointed that he wants a good Dalek. But I never thought anyone would willingly choose to travel with him." the Doctor responded with a defensive tone and surprised eyes. "Why are you traveling with him? And don't say it's because you see good in him since you call him an it."

"WHY HAVE YOU STOPPED WALKING?" Rusty asked as he suddenly appeared, making both women jump back in surprise.

"Since when could Daleks be stealthy?!" the Doctor asked in bewilderment.

"EXPLAIN. WHY HAVE YOU STOPPED WALKING?" Rusty repeated while his eyestalk focused on Journey for answers.

"It's nothing, we're just having a little chat. I'll meet you inside the ship." Journey promised and Rusty continued to stare at her for a few second, before slowly turning around and heading towards the ship. Journey spotted Bracewell standing next to it, watching them with a clear look of confusion.

"I travel with it because it doesn't judge me for being a soldier. You did, despite how you didn't care talk all when Ross died so I don't know how you can claim the moral high ground." Journey told the Doctor while trying to keep her tone steady. "Maybe I'm not safe with Rusty, but at least it's honest about what it is and what it wants. It has never claimed to be better than me for such a ridiculous reason."

"I'm sorry. Really, I'm sorry I made you feel like that. You're right." the Doctor admitted shamefully, and Journey was a little satisfied to see how uncomfortable she was in doing that. "But I was literally a different person then, and if you wanted I would be happy to have you travel with me. I just have a thing about guns that's all."

"And that's why I won't travel with you Doctor. Because despite everything you can't see anything good about soldiers." Journey replied with a mixture of bitterness and annoyance. "By the way, thanks for not bringing me with you when I asked."

And with that Journey walked away from the surprised Doctor, wondering if anything she had said would register with the Doctor. Part of her wondered if she was making the right choice and was being too prideful by ignoring the Doctor's warnings about Rusty, but she ignored it because she still believed she was right. The Doctor was arrogant who be lives only her way is the right way and to Journey that made the Dalek a better traveling companion.

If anyone cares I'm going to try and get back into this idea.
