Alex stepped out first, looking around. "Nice job. Tight fit" She commented. The Doctor walked out behind her and hummed in quiet agreement as he took out his sonic screwdriver. He turned it on but turned it immediately back off when it buzzed loudly, shushing it. Alex raised an eyebrow, leaning against the TARDIS doors.
"It's sonic Doctor, there's no silent mode" She commented, smirking at him when he rolled his eyes. He continued on the door despite the noise and it clicked open after a minute. Alex pushed herself off the TARDIS to follow him out. She had just squeezed herself in front of him, being impatient, when he opened the door.
Alex froze. They had just opened the door into what looked like some sort of break room filled with around twenty soldiers at the least. They all blinked in surprise, looking at each other for a moment before all pulling out their guns. Alex was suddenly standing in front of a grinning Doctor with twenty guns pointed at the two of them. She squeaked in surprise and moved again, slipping back around the other side of the Doctor to stand behind him, just barely peeking out. The Doctor glanced back at her for a moment but kept the grin.
There was a scream and the Doctor's grin fell and Alex moved forward again to look around him to the hall where the sound came from, forgetting the guns. She moved quickly, taking off at a run to find the source.
"Defence part Delta! Come on, move, move!" The Doctor ordered, following Alex with the soldiers following behind him, surprisingly, following the orders of the man they had just been pointing their guns at.
Alex ran on in front, paying close attention to the world around her as she ran. The last thing she needed today was to get shot because she startled some soldier. She stopped when she found the medical doctor that had seemed to be called in by UNIT, considering the doctors from the hospital had been evacuated and no one had been let back in.
"It's alive!" The woman shouted. She was cowering on the floor, shaking. Alex moved quickly over to her as the Doctor gave the soldiers another order.
"Hey, it's okay" Alex said, speaking clearly and reassuringly.
"My god, it's still alive" She continued. The Doctor knelt down next to Alex and she turned to see the soldiers still standing in the doorway, watching them.
"What are we having, a tea party? He gave you an order" She commanded. The soldiers moved quickly, leaving to do whatever it was they'd been told. Alex noticed the Doctor staring at her and grinned.
"I've always wanted to do that" She shrugged.
"I swear it was dead" The woman spoke up, looking at the Doctor.
"Coma, shock, hibernation, anything" The Doctor listed off, speaking quickly. "What does it look like?" There was a sudden sound from behind them and Alex and the Doctor turned quickly.
"It's still here" Alex spoke in a whisper, not taking her eyes off the dark spot where she heard the sound come from. They stood and the Doctor beckoned for a soldier in the doorway, who moved forward silently. Hearing another rattle the Doctor seemed to pinpoint the sound and got down on his knees to crawl closer around the desk. Alex watched silently by the soldier in the room. She glanced uncomfortably at the gun for a moment but focussed her attention on the Doctor as he seemed to see something.
"Hello!" He said cheerily. A small figure of what looked like a man ran suddenly around the other side of the desk. It looked like a pig used to walking on two legs. Although now it was running. Squealing in terror as it ran. The soldier lifted his gun and Alex was quick to reach over and push it back down as the Doctor called out for him to not shoot. The pig ran past the two of them and out into the corridor. Alex took off after the Doctor as he followed it. There was a small group of soldiers at the end of the hall. One raised his gun as the pig ran towards him.
"No!" Alex shouted. But she was too late. The soldier fired his gun and the pig fell with another squeal. The Doctor slowed slightly as he approached.
"What did you do that for?" The Doctor demanded, staring down the soldier. "It was scared!" The poor boy himself now looked scared, looking from the pig to the Doctor to Alex with wide eyes. The Doctor crouched down, his eyes softening as he looked down at the pig. "It was scared" he repeated softer. The soldier looked up at Alex, who looked from the Doctor to him. She looked at him different to the way the Doctor did. He was angry. Alex's eyes were softer, though not in any way welcoming. She seemed more disappointed.
Because that's what it was. Alex was simply disappointed with the humans. In her mind, they have so much potential for good, but they keep wasting it on wars and making guns and only helping themselves. The Doctor stroked the pig lightly as it died and Alex glanced down at him once more. She gave one last look to all the soldiers, who all seemed almost ashamed by her expression alone, and turned to leave. The Doctor glanced up as she left, taking note of the slow way she walked with her hands in her pockets and her eyes fixed on the floor.
Alex made her way back to the TARDIS before realising she had given the key back to the Doctor. She sighed and looked up at the box, thinking.
"Okay" She spoke. "Apparently you like me. So let's try something, you and I, hmm?" She lifted one hand as if showing the TARDIS what she was doing. "Dear Chuck, I hope this works" She muttered to herself then. There was a moment of silence as Alex took a deep breath and held it, looking between her hand and the doors. "Here goes nothing"
Alex clicked her fingers.
The doors swung open.
Alex's mouth fell open and her eyes widened, staring at the box in wonder.
"Oh, you never fail to amaze, Sweetheart" She grinned. With that she walked inside, trying to restrain herself from screaming and essentially fangirling. She stopped at the console, grin still in place as she turned. She lifted her hand slowly and clicked her fingers, laughing in glee when the doors swung shut. Alex looked up at the time rotor, still grinning uncontrollably.
"Have I ever told you how much I love you Sexy?"
The TARDIS gave pleased hum.
"Well don't go getting too cocky" Alex laughed. She looked around then with a sigh. Deciding after a moment she moved off to the side, climbing the ladder to the metal platform that surrounded part of the walls. She looked around, admiring the view from a higher angle before sitting down with her back against the wall to wait. She hummed to herself and even sang. It did take a while, but the TARDIS kept her occupied. She mostly just hummed in response to her talking and even hummed with her singing.
The Doctor walked in but didn't notice her at first. He was muttering things to himself. Most of it Alex couldn't catch but she heard something that sounded distinctly like 'Gotta find Alex'
"To find one must first attempt to look" Alex found herself saying. The Doctor looked up quickly, frowning.
"How did you get in?" He asked, obviously remembering the key was with Rose. Alex opted to keep the spoilers out of the picture for him and so she simply pointed to the door wearing a 'duh' expression. "It was locked" He pointed out, looking between her and the door, trying desperately to understand.
"I'm magic"
"Alex"
"She likes me"
The Doctor didn't sound upset exactly, simply annoyed that there was something he didn't know. He shook his head slightly, huffing almost childishly before returning to the console. He walked around, pressing buttons and pulling levers as he muttered to himself. Alex held on half-heartedly to the grating beneath her as the TARDIS shook slightly, but it wasn't too bad. It wasn't long until he pulled one last lever and the TARDIS landed with a 'thump'. He didn't stop working though, pressing buttons around the monitor as he looked down at it.
It wasn't even a moment later when the door opened, Rose walking in. The Doctor started chattering quickly.
"Alright, so I lied! I went and had a look, but the whole crash landing's a fake. I thought so, it's just so perfect. I mean, even Alex pointed out, hitting Big Ben, come on. So I thought, let's go and have a look-"
"My mum's here" Rose interrupted, making him look up. He groaned in annoyance as he noticed both Jackie and Mickey walk in.
"Oh that's just what I need. Don't you dare make this place domestic!" He declared. Alex moved a bit closer, sitting on the edge of the platform.
"You ruined my life Doctor" Mickey spoke, his voice unexpectedly even. The Doctor spun around to face him as he continued. "They thought she was dead. I was a murder suspect because of you" Alex cringed slightly at those words, knowing if Mickey knew she was there those words would directed at her too. The Doctor simply turned back to Rose.
"See what I mean? Domestic" With that said he turned back to the monitor, continuing his work. Alex was about to go down and join him when she noticed Mickey take a couple steps towards him, trying to get his attention back.
"I bet you don't even remember my name!" He accused.
"It's Ricky" The Doctor answered confidently, turning to him.
"It's Mickey"
"No, it's Ricky"
"I think I know my own name"
"You think you know your own name? How stupid are you?"
Alex laughed, although it came out more like an evil kind of cackle. Everyone except the Doctor looked up at her in surprise, none even realising she was there. The Doctor looked up at her a moment after them, grinning at her as she was the only one who laughed at his little joke. Alex seemed to be the final straw for Jackie, who turned and ran out the doors.
"Mum don't!" Rose called out to her. Seeing she wasn't going to stop she turned to the Doctor. "Don't go anywhere!" She told him seriously, then moved on to Mickey. "Don't start a fight!" Then up at Alex. "Get down before you hurt yourself!" With each person being given an instruction, she turned and ran out after Jackie.
"Yes Mum" Alex frowned at the door. The Doctor laughed, making her look to him. The two watched each other as they spoke, acting like it was a normal day for them. Well, to be fair, to them, it is. Mickey looked between the two, a little bit bewildered, a little bit annoyed, but mostly watching the two interact curiously. And as every other time someone had done so, the two didn't notice at all.
"Come on, down you get" The Doctor urged, tilting his head back towards the console. Alex leaned back and crossed her arms rebelliously.
"And if I don't?"
"I'll pull you down" He shrugged.
"As if you would"
"Oh I would"
The Doctor started over and Alex's eyes widened as she tried to move back on the platform. He was too quick for her however and managed to grab one of her ankles before she could pull it back. He gave a tug and Alex squealed as he reached the other ankle and pulled again. He managed to steady her before she fell and set sat her back on the ground, grinning as she laughed. She pulled away after a moment, giving him a playful slap on the arm.
"You ever do that again and I will get my revenge" She warned, but it wasn't very menacing as she wasn't able to hide her smile.
"I'd like to see you try" The Doctor scoffed, crossing his arms, but his smile was visible too.
"The TARDIS likes me better" Alex reminded him with a smirk. The Doctor's eyes widened.
"Don't you-" He was cut off when the TARDIS doors opened again, making all three turn.
"That was a real spaceship?" She asked the Doctor.
"Yep!" He answered cheerfully, moving back to the monitor. Rose and Alex automatically joined him at either side, looking over his shoulders as always.
"So it's all a pack of lies, what is it then, are they invading?" Rose frowned. Mickey was trying his best to make himself taller to see over their shoulders at the screen.
"Funny was to invade, putting the world on red alert" He pointed out. The Doctor and Alex looked to each other, giving the other a small nod as they silently communicated the comment was a little impressive coming from him.
"Good point!" Alex declared.
"So what are they up to?" The Doctor followed up. He turned then, going back to work. Alex followed him around the console, sitting down beside him when he removed part of the grating and wormed his way in to work underneath. The two of them talked as he worked, mostly joking and bantering. Alex handed him things he needed every now and then too, trying to feel helpful. She was lying down on her stomach looking into the floor when Mickey walked over, peering down from the other side.
"So, what're you doing down there?" Mickey asked, looking between the two.
"Ricky" The Doctor started, his voice muffled by the sonic screwdriver he held between his teeth.
"Mickey"
Alex reached down and took the screwdriver from his mouth so he could talk clearer, he turned to Mickey.
"Ricky" he repeated clearer. "If I were to tell you what I was doing to the controls of my frankly magnificent time ship, would you even begin to understand?" Mickey paused for a moment.
"I suppose not…"
"Shut it then" The Doctor finished curtly. Mickey rolled his eyes, obviously frustrated as the Doctor got back to work. Alex looked up.
"Don't worry, remember he's not from earth, any nine year old Time Lord could confuse you, not just him. You're no dumber than the rest of us Ricky" She told him.
"Mickey!" He corrected again, annoyed.
"'S what I said" Was all Alex said, looking back down as the Doctor held out his hand for the sonic, and she passed it to him. Mickey walked off over to Rose and Alex heard him mutter something to Rose.
"They're winding you up" Rose told him, trying to make him feel better somehow as she glanced over at her friends. Alex looked back at her before turning back to the Doctor, tuning out their conversation to give tome some privacy.
"So could another human actually understand what you're doing right now?" She asked idly. He glanced at her but kept working as he answered.
"I suppose so, one who understood electrical workings and understood the TARDIS. It's rarely happened though. Why? Do you want to learn?" he glanced at her again at the last question. Alex shrugged.
"I guess, I'd like to know a little more. I'm not that smart though, I might not understand either"
"You're smarter than a lot of humans" He told her, pulling out a couple wires. He missed her look of disbelief as she shook her head slightly. "Okay, here. Hold these" He pulled a couple wires apart and handed her one from each side to hold together while he attached them with the sonic. Alex glanced over the wires he was criss-crossing together with a frown.
"What is that supposed to do?" She asked, not really seeing the point.
"We're rewiring the scanner to pick up the trace of the crashed spaceship" He told her. "Patching the radar through to the monitor and turning it back a couple hours to see which direction the spaceship came from" Alex nodded slowly, but eyed the console and the wires with suspicion, wondering if he actually knew what he was doing, or if the Tardis knew what he was trying to do.
There was a sudden, massive spark from the console just above their heads and Alex jumped away with a startled cry. The Doctor jumped up and ran around to the monitor, seeming unfazed.
"We did it!" he exclaimed, grinning at her. Alex stood and moved over beside him, also looking at the monitor.
"It worked?" She questioned, watching as the screen changed,
"What did you do?" Rose asked, looking between the two.
"Patched in the radar, looped it back twelve hours so we can watch the flight path of the spaceship" Alex told her.
"Here we go, hold on, come on!" He whacked the side of the screen before showing the two. "That's the spaceship on its way to earth, see? Except, hold on, see, the space ship did a sling shot round the earth before it landed" He explained.
"Ooh" Alex muttered, eyes fixed on the screen. She knew she remembered this episode but details were slipping. She hadn't seen season one in a while. But she knew while season one was going on she'd be likely to forget certain things in the later seasons. This would get real complicated, real fast.
When Alex was pulled from her thoughts the Doctor had started switching through channels on the monitor and had apparently finished explaining things to Rose. Mickey was standing behind them now, looking over their shoulders at the screen.
"How many channels do you get?" Mickey asked, watching the ones they passed curiously.
"All the basic packages" The Doctor answered absently.
"You get sports channels?"
"Yes, I get the football" The Doctor sighed.
"Football is weird" Alex frowned to herself. Mickey glanced at her.
"You're joking right?" He asked, confused. Alex looked back at him.
"Listen to the accent Ricky, I call it soccer" She told him.
"Hold on, I know that bloke" The Doctor said, keeping Mickey from responding to Alex. The reporter was explaining about them bringing in alien experts as some people walked inside Downing street from a black car.
"UNIT!" Alex realised. "Oh, they've brought in UNIT. Must be getting serious, United Nations Intelligence Task force"
"Good people" The Doctor nodded.
"How do you know them?" Rose asked, looking up at him.
"Cos' he's worked for them" Mickey spoke up, making the three turn to him. "Yeah, don't think I sat on my backside for twelve months, Doctor. I read up on you. You look deep enough on the internet, and in the history books and there's his name followed by a list of the dead" He looked directly at the Doctor then. "But there was someone-"
"That's nice, good boy Ricky" The Doctor interrupted. Alex frowned, glancing between the two. That wasn't a line as far as she could remember. That's something she'd remember.
"If you know them, why don't you go an help?" Rose asked, trying to keep the boys from fighting.
"They wouldn't recognise me, I've changed a lot since the old days" The Doctor explained. Alex snorted in amusement and the Doctor grinned down at her, in their own private joke. "Besides, the world's on a knife-edge. There's aliens out there and fake aliens. We want to keep this alien out of the mix. I'm going undercover and, eh, better keep the TARDIS out of sight"
"You know UNIT, they've probably already seen it" Alex told him with a shrug.
"All the same. Ricky! You've got a car, you can do some driving" He started heading towards the door and Alex followed him automatically.
"Where to?" Mickey frowned, following with Rose behind him. They stepped out of the TARDIS to find they were already surrounded by police cars and a helicopter was heard overhead. Alex looked up only to have a searchlight fall on them. There was suddenly noise everywhere. From the helicopter above them to Jackie who was being held back by some soldiers. Alex felt her heart rate quicken as she looked around at the soldiers with guns pointed at them, preventing them from escaping. Mickey had disappeared at some point and Rose was on her left with the Doctor on her right.
Alex moved closer to the Doctor, pressed to his side as she looked around, trying to calm herself. The Doctor's arm moved to wrap around her shoulder and he looked down at her.
"I see, so you were actually trying to tell me about this" He realised.
"Yeah, a little bit"
"And I didn't notice"
"No you didn't"
"Raise your hands above your head" A loudspeaker called. Alex found herself looking around to find the source of it. She never liked not knowing who was speaking. "You are under arrest"
Alex glanced up at the Doctor, who looked down at her as he did what they were told. Alex glanced at Rose and back out at the soldiers before slowly holding her hands up. She glanced over to see the Doctor grin up at the helicopter.
"Take me to your leader!" He called. Despite the situation, Alex even smiled.
They were quickly led to a car and the three clambered in. Rose first, then Alex and the Doctor came last, the door closing behind them. The car set off immediately.
"This is a bit posh" Rose commented, looking around. Alex nodded in agreement. "If I knew it was gonna be like this, being arrested, I'd have done it years ago"
"We're not being arrested" Alex shook her head. Rose looked to her and then to the Doctor as she finished, knowing when one didn't explain properly the other one finished.
"We're being escorted" The Doctor finished, not noticing Rose's small smile before her question.
"Where to?"
"Where'd you think? Downing street!" The Doctor laughed, making Rose and Alex laugh in return.
"You're kidding" Rose looked between the two, unbelieving.
"I'm not" The Doctor shook his head.
"10 Downing Street?"
"That's the one"
Rose laughed and Alex grinned at her.
"Oh my god, I'm going to 10 Downing Street?" She looked between the two, who both nodded in return, grinning at her.
"How come?" Rose asked, accepting the fact by now.
"He's famous" Alex said quickly.
"I hate to say it, but Mickey was right" After an elbow to the ribs he added. "Alex too" She smirked at him. "Over the years I've visited this planet a lot of times and I've been, uh, noticed" Alex snorted, sitting back in her seat.
"That's putting it lightly" She muttered, making the Doctor glance at her.
"Now they need you?" Rose asked, ignoring Alex's comments like usual, knowing it didn't mean anything and she wouldn't want it brought up.
"Like it said on the news, they're gathering experts on alien knowledge, and who's the biggest expert of the lot?" The Doctor asked smugly.
"Patrick Moore" Alex inputted seriously, staring straight ahead. The Doctor frowned at her and she shot him a grin.
"Apart from him!" He complained.
"Ah, don't you just love it" Rose grinned at him
"I'm telling you, Lloyd George, he used to drink me under the table. Who's the prime minister now?" He looked between the two expectantly. Alex skipped over the comment, not understanding at all, but frowned at the question.
"How should we know? We missed a year" Rose told him with a shrug.
"And I never followed politics my whole life. I'm also an American who's been in England 2022 for only a year" Alex added in. Rose blinked at her.
"Hold on, 2022?"
"Oh yeah, didn't I mention? I'm from another universe and the future" Alex told her. Rose didn't answer but simply stared at her with her mouth open and her eyes wide. "Apparently I didn't" Alex pulled out her phone and handed it to Rose. "Take a look" She told her. Rose took it, turning it over as she looked at it.
"Is this…?"
"A phone" Alex nodded. "See, you've just got to…" She pressed the button on top to turn it on and showed her how to unlock it. Alex had really forgotten how much phones had changed as Rose was most surprised by the touch screen. She showed Rose how to play some of the games on it and they spent the rest of the car ride like that. Rose playing on Alex's phone and trying to beat her high scores while the Doctor and Alex watched, trying to give her advice while she insisted she could do it herself.
The Doctor informed the two when the car had pulled up and Alex pulled her phone away from Rose, closing the app and locking it before slipping it in her pocket. The door was opened and the Doctor stepped out first, followed by Alex and then Rose. Alex looked around the crowd of reporters and cameras and police men holding them back. She looked up at the Doctor, seeing him grin around at them, waving. Alex looked back over at them, finding herself grinning as well.
Grinning for the pure reason that she was standing beside the Doctor, practically clinging to his coat as they were photographed and recorded and had people shouting out to them. The Doctor's arm slid over her shoulders and he led her after him as he turned to head inside. Alex found herself pressed to his side as the three of them were led into the building. They were guided into a room filled with people standing around talking, apparently waiting for the meeting to start. With the Doctor's arm now wrapped protectively around her waist, Alex glanced around, smiling slightly when she saw Harriet Jones slip in.
"Ladies and Gentleman, could we convene?" The secretary, what was his name?, called out to everyone. "Quick as we can please. It's this way on the right, and can I remind you that ID cards are to worn at all times" He approached the small group as everyone was filing into the conference room. "Here's your ID card, I'm sorry, your companions don't have clearance" He told the Doctor, handing him a card. Alex looked up at the Doctor as he replied.
"I don't go anywhere without them" He told the man simply as he looped the ID card around his neck.
"You're the code nine, not them" The secretary insisted. Alex felt the Doctor's arm tighten slightly around her. "I'm sorry Doctor, it is the Doctor isn't it? They'll have to stay outside"
"They're staying with me" The Doctor said seriously.
"Look, even I don't have clearance to go in there. I can't let them in and that's a fact"
"It's alright, you go" Rose told the Doctor. He glanced over at her before looking to Alex, who was looking up at him. He could tell she was ready to stay behind, but could also tell she didn't want to. He moved a little closer to the secretary, saying something quietly into his ear. The man looked over at Alex in surprise when he pulled away.
"Excuse me, are you the Doctor?" Harriet asked from behind him.
"Not now we're busy" The man told her annoyed, apparently over whatever the Doctor had told him. "Can't you go home?" The Doctor turned to Rose, ignoring the two.
"Are you sure?" He asked seriously.
"Yeah, they're the experts, you should hear what they've got to say" She told him before glancing at Alex. "What about Alex?"
"Oh, I've worked it out" he told her, making Alex frown. "Don't get into any trouble" With that being said, the Doctor turned and followed the rest of the alien experts into the room, taking Alex with him. No one stopped them.
"How did you do that?" Alex asked, glancing back at the secretary.
"Told them you're someone else, don't worry about it" He shrugged.
"But I've no ID" She reminded him.
"Just don't draw attention to yourself"
"I'm following the Doctor, how am I supposed to not draw attention to myself?" Alex frowned at him. The Doctor snorted in amusement.
"Fair point"
They waited until the experts had taken their seats and two people had gone to stand up front until they took their own seats left at the back, picking up the small booklets that were sitting on the chairs. Alex looked over hers, not really reading anything as she glanced at the Doctor, who seemed to be reading extremely quickly. Alex looked over the way he was sitting forward and realised with a smirk what he was just about to do. So much for not drawing attention
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I'd like to have your attention please" A man in a military uniform spoke up front. "As you can see from the summaries in front of you, the ship had one porcine occupant-"
"Now, the really interesting bit happened three days ago" The Doctor interrupted, standing. Alex bit her lip in an attempt to not laugh as everyone stared at him in surprise. He ignored it obviously, walking up and down the row between the seats as he thought out loud. "See, filed away under every other business. The North Sea, the satellite detected a signal, a little blip of radiation one hundred fathoms like there was something down there… You were just about to investigate and the next thing you know, this happens. Spaceships, pigs, massive diversion, from what? If aliens fake an alien crash with an alien pilot, what do they get?" There was a pause as the Doctor thought this over and no one dared to interrupt his thinking.
No one except Alex of course.
"You"
The Doctor looked over at her in surprise, seeming confused.
"Not you as in, you know, you. You as in all of you" She fumbled slightly, gesturing around the room from her spot still in the chair at the back. The Doctor's eyes widened as he seemed to realise she was right.
"It's not a diversion, it's a trap" He clarified. "This is all about us" By now all the experts in the room looked fairly intrigued and were listening closely. "Alien experts. The only people with the knowledge how to fight them gathered in one room" One of the men in the front farted loudly and the Doctor turned, looking pointedly at the man with a raised eyebrow.
"Excuse me, do you mind not farting while I'm saving the world" The Doctor commented, sounding annoyed. Alex bit her lip again.
"Would you rather silent but deadly?" The man raised an eyebrow right back, him and the man in uniform laughing like it was the funniest thing in the world. Alex froze, her eyes widening in shock at how she could have forgotten. She looked around the room, mouth falling open as she realised. The man in uniform took off his hat and reached up to his forehead, slowly pulling away at a hidden zipper, making blue light shine out from inside. He pulled the skin suit down and stepped out as the two continued to laugh. The Doctor backed up slightly so he was in front of Alex when she stood.
"We are the Slitheen" the undisguised alien announced.
"Thank you for all wearing your ID cards" The man still in his disguise spoke, pulling something from his pocket. "They'll make it easier to identify the bodies"
"No!" Alex cried, making the Doctor turn to her just as he pressed the button. It was all so sudden, blue electric light surrounded every other person in the room, the Doctor included. She tried to move towards him.
"No" The Doctor managed, falling to his knees. "Don't" Alex whimpered slightly, covering her mouth with her hands.
"Doctor, no, what do i… what can I do…" She whispered to herself, looking back up at the Slitheen.
"Ooh, someone's not supposed to be here" The suited one tutted.
"Naughty, naughty" The alien spoke in its warped voice.
"What shall we do with her?"
"Hmm, I'm feeling a little peckish I think"
Alex's breath caught in her throat. She looked between the Slitheen, who were laughing at her panic, and the Doctor on the floor in front of her. She felt like she couldn't get her breath back and she was almost gasping for air, backing up until the backs of her legs hit the chair behind her. Doctor please…
