Well here it is. The last chapter. I was thinkingbof expanding it but I just can't think of anything. I might come back to it later on if i think I can add anything else to it. Well enough of me talking here is the last chapter.

Chapter 19: Welcome to UNIT Dalek Sec

Outside of London was a huge mansion. It had been built during the Victorian era and later bought by UNIT when they were first formed after second world war. The mansion was large enough to house a great many of UNIT soliders and agents. It was also the second largest labs that UNIT had after the labs that were in the base under the Tower of London and the lab facilities in the Stirling UNIT base. The mansion well out of the city and surrounded by woodlands that allowed the Moonray and the TARDIS to land without attracting unwanted attention.

It was also far away that to take use of the sunny day the celebration could happen outside. Tents and stalls had been set up to cover the celebrating men and women. The sun had been saved and so had the earth. They were also celebrating because they had a new member joining UNIT. Many of them where still unsure of Dalek Sec becoming a member of UNIT but words from Kate, Nightshade and the Doctor had settled many of their concerns but they were still warry of the black Dalek.

Dalek Sec stayed close to either the Doctor or Nightshade. His repaired casing had been waxed by Osgood, a good way to calm the human down, glinted in the bright afternoon sun. He bore no badge that told that he was of UNIT yet, but that would be presented at the end of the day by Kate once he had spoken to everyone.

He turned his domed head over to the side and spotted Nightshade off to the side. A phone in her hand and pressed against her ear. She had a comm. system so why was she using a phone? He was about to go over to her and eavesdrop on what she was she was saying but was stopped when a women stepped in front him.

Studying her he noticed that she wore jeans and brown heeled boots. She wore a shirt that was tucked into her jeans under a jacket that only covered her torso and shoulders. Her brown hair went to her shoulders and she had a bright smile on her face. A smile that was hiding her mistrust for him. "Sarah Jane-Smith!" she said keeping up her smile and showing him a card of who she was.

"CORRECT! DALEK DATABASE INDICATES THAT YOH ARE A LONG LASTING COMPANION OF THE DOCTOR!" he said. He was glad that he had downloaded the massive database regarding the Doctor and his allies. "YOU WISH TO SPEAK WITH ME?" he asked her. They started to walk and hover around the celebrating men and women.

"I do! I have a few questions that I hope you wont mind asking!" she began. She picked up a glass of champagne from a young man carrying a tray of them. He smiled at her before moving on. He kept moving about, but his eyes did drift back towards Dalek Sec.

"I DO NOT MIND IN TAKING PART IN THIS INTERROGATION!" he replied to her. That response caused Sarah Jane to drop her smile and stop walking. "IT IS INTERROGATIONS THAT YOU CONDUCT? IS IT NOT?" he asked. He still felt awkward around humans. He didn't know what to say and when to say must things. When he got it right he was praised, mainly by the Doctor. But then there was many times that he and the person he was talking to fell into an awkward silence. Much like the silence that plagued between him and Sarah-Jane Smith.

"I'm a journalist! Not an interrogater! I think Nightshade might fall into that category!" Sarah-Jane replied with a smile. "What I do is I ask questions about an event or someone and write an article about it in the newspapers! I mainly work with Martha Jones in writing cover stories for UNIT or writing about strange things that are too small for the Doctor, Nightshade and UNIT and Torchwood to take notice of!" she finished explaining to him.

"I UNDERSTAND YOUR FUNCTION!" he responded. He noticed her flinch for a second before he spoke again, "SHALL WE TAKE THIS TALK TO A MORE PRIVATE LOCATION?" he asked her.

Sarah-Jane shock her head at him and once again he felt out of place. "I UNDERSTAND!" he replied. He could see Nightshade still on the phone by the side of the mansion. Not far from him on the other side of the ground was the Doctor babysitting Captain Jack Harkness. He understood that she would want to remain in a place where they both could keep an eye on him.

"What made you decide to work with them?" he heard Sarah-Jane ask him. He had been staring at Jack who was causing a bunch of girls to giggle. The Doctor was trying and failing to drag him away from them but the immortal was not having any of it.

Returning his attention back to the former companion of the Doctor he focused his blue optic on her again and saw that emotion on her face once again. He knew that emotion to well. It was Fear and mistrust. Every member of UNIT shared the same emotion as Sarah-Jane Smith. He could not blame them. He himself had butchered millions of lives either by his own weapons or by his orders. He had led the Carny Wharf attack that was against the Daleks and the Cybermen and the humans of Torchwood. He had killed hundreds in that attack. Many of them had been Cybermen but there were humans and Daleks who died in that attack.

"I WAS ORDERED TO BY THE DALEK EMPEROR BUT HE DID NOT KNOW THAT I HAD OTHER PLANS! HE DID NOT KNOW THAT I WAS PLANNING TO RUN AWAY AND GO INTO EXILE OF MY OWN ACCORD AS I EITHER WENT WITH THE DOCTOR, OR NIGHTSHADE OR IF NOT WOUNDER AROUND UNTIL I COULD FIND SOMETHING TO DO WITH WHAT RESTS OF MY EXISTANCE!" he responded.

He watched in utter fascination as Sarah-Jane scribbled everything that he had said. Was this going to go into a newspaper and he would be known to the world?

"Did you have any regrets when you were with the Doctor?" she asked as she stopped her scribblings. She looked back at him but the fear had been replaced with curiosity. An emotion that he was feeling as well as he wacthed her take notes.

Did he face any regrets. Yes, he did. He faced regrets with everything that made him who he had been and who he was. He was a Dalek. He may have been a Dalek in exile but he was still a Dalek. Their ways had been wrong since the word go. Only a few had retained their Kaled minds and fought to get them back to the way they had once been but they had been silenced before the Doctor could hear about them.

"YES!"

"Can you explain more?"

"EVERYTHING THAT MAKES A DALEK A DALEK!" he responded. He looked past Sarah-Jane to see that Nightshade was off the phone and was watching them. "I WANT REDEMPTION AND I AM GOING TO GO TO NEW YORK WITH NIGHTSHADE TO JOIN THE TEAM OF HEROES STATIONED THERE!" he responded. All at the same time everyone at the UNIT party dropped their conversations and looked over at the reporter and the Dalek. Even Jack who was stuffing his face with cakes had stopped to see what was going on. Sarah-Jane had stopped dead as she broke her pen. A Dalek joining the Avengers.

Sarah-Jane was lost for words. A Dalek wanted to help defend earth! What next a Cyberman taking an oath to heal without upgrading the whole planets population?

"I KNOW IT WILL BE HARD BUT I WILL DO ALL I CAN TO PROTECT YOUR RACE AND PLANET! IT IS NOT ENOUGH FOR THE CRIMES THAT ME AND MY RACE HAS COMMITTED! BUT IT IS A START!" he explained to her. Without another word he glided back towards the mansion where he was going to wait for the ceremony. He just wanted to get away from all the humans that were staring at him.

Sarah-Jane watched him glide away. Never in her life did she think she would feel sorry for a Dalek, but Dalek Sec was different from any Dalek that she had meet. Her son, Luke would not believe her if she said that a Dalek had helped the Doctor fight a Dalek fleet. No he would claim that it was a long running plan to help the Daleks conquer earth. She could agree with him. She had seen the Daleks many times when she was travelling with the Doctor and then that one time when they stole the Earth to be a part of their plan.

"What did he tell you?" Nightshade asked. The shapeshifter had snuck up on her as she thought on what Dalek Sec's motives were that she had jumped out of fright.

Looking at Nightshade she wondered what she and the Doctor were planning, but she knew she would not get a straight answer from either. Handing over her notebook over to Nightshade she left. She was there to enjoy herself and catch up with the Doctor not do Nightshade's work for her.

Nightshade read the notebook before nodding her head towards the Doctor. The Doctor returned the gesture before following Dalek Sec into the mansion. She was going to follow him in but was stopped by a solider. He was a young man who had not even left his second decade. How he got into UNIT, Nightshade didn't know. She didn't know how humans got jobs and why a piece of paper was so important to landing them a job. But in all the years that she had been on earth she had found out that humans love their paperwork. Paperwork helped to keep their world moving.

Finishing her conversation with the young man she went on to find Kate. It was time to get the ceremony done and dusted. They had all spent time in the sun and had a laugh but there was still a reason why they had dropped everything. They still needed to welcome Dalek Sec to UNIT. It was a traditional thing that they done. The new member of UNIT will swear to protect not only their country but also their world. It was also the best way for the heads of UNIT to see who was new and what team to put them in. It was also a good way for them to put into the payroll. When it came to her and the Doctor it caused many headaches in the office. People had to make stuff up for them. Their paperwork that was sent to Wages and Pension department in government told the cover story for the pair of them and that was all that was needed for that side of things. UNIT needed more information on them. They needed to know more about the Time Lords and Dragonoids other than they were all gone. They needed to know every little detail, including holidays and if they had any believes. If Nightshade hated doing paperwork for UNIT now she despised it when she first joined.

Finding Kate had been easy for Nightshade. She was with both Osgood and Bonnie. The three of them were laughing much like how Kate used to laugh when it was her father who ran UNIT. "Kate!" she shouted as she approached the three of them. Glad that she had their attention she continued, "We're ready!"

"Did Dalek Sec pass your test?" Bonnie asked arching an eyebrow at her. All she got as a response was a nod before the shapeshifter left the two humans and Zygon.

oooo00000ooooo000

The Doctor found Dalek Sec staring up at all the pictures of the Brigadier and Kate. "FAMILY MEANS A LOT TO THE HUMANS? DOES IT NOT?" Dalek Sec asked when he came to a stopled behind him. "WHY? WHY IS FAMILY SO IMPORTANT? WHY HAVE I NEVER HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE IN THE HATCHERY AS YOU HAD WITH YOUR FAMILY DOCTOR?" Sec asked roating his repaired domed head around to face him. "EXPLAIN WHY MY OWN BROTHER HATES ME?" he demanded. "EXPLAIN WHY NIGHTSHADE DEFENDS EDWARD AND JULIAN WHEN THEY ARE NOT EVEN OF THE SAME SPECIES? EXPLAIN THAT TO ME DOCTOR!" he demanded once again.

The Doctor sighed deeply. How could he explain families to a creature that had no experience what so ever of the idea of family. "Family is what makes the human race so great. It drives them to look after each other and they need family. There social creatures that need to keep company with others!" he started to explain to Dalek Sec. "Nightshade and Edward have a longer history than anyone else I know! All I know is that those two always hated each other. How they meet and what happened to make them so close is a question you will have to ask either Nightshade or Edward!" he explained to Dalek Sec.

He looked at the picture that Dalek Sec was staring at. The Brigadier lifting a five year old Kate in his arms. Kate wore the biggest smile that day. A day where he got to be a father to his daughter after her mother died. UNIT had been left in the capable hands of Nightshade for the week until the Brigadier came back from his holiday up north.

"I WANT A FAMILY!" Dalek Sec rasped as the doors opened with Nightshade once again on her phone followed by Kate. "WHERE IS NIGHTSHADE GOING?" he asked. His eye stock following Nightshade as she went into one of the conference rooms that the mansion held.

"Nightshade will be leaving in ten minutes! She needs to go up to Stirling for a brief amount of time before she can go to New York!" Kate said as she, Osgood and Bonnie walked up to the Doctor and Dalek Sec. "Ah, I remember this photo being taken! Dad was able to be a father rather than the Brigadier!" she said with a smile.

Kate came back to the present with the shack of her head. "Right I think its time to get this started as everyone has gathered outside in the sun and Nightshade has scampered into the darkest conference room!" she said with a smile before turning to walk out of the mansion as staff continued to work away.

Dalek Sec followed after her. He was going through a lot of strange emotions. He felt nervous but he felt so excited that he was being given a purpose once again. He hoped that he could set up his lab again. His lab had always been a safe place for him to go when Dalek X was around. His brother gave him no peace when they were nothing more than drones. That had been so long ago. That had been before he had become the head tactician in the war against the Mechanoids and Dalek X became The General Inquisitor and waa feared by both Dalek and human.

He stopped suddenly when the Doctor held out his hand to stop him from moving forward. "Let Kate do her speech!" he told Dalek Sec.

Kate stood as tall as she could as she held a microphone up to her mouth so that people right in back could hear her. "I hope everyone has had a good couple of hours in the sun but lets get down to business of this meeting!" she spoke as loudly and clearly as possible.

She awaited for the mumbling in the crowd to quiten down. "You have already no doubt heard and have been a part of the Dalek invasion of our planet! Well I can tell you that that invasion was led by Dalek X. Dalek X was a Dalek who did not agree with the Emperor and had decided to overthrow his empire by finding the Star Bane. According to the Doctor and Dalek Sec, the Star Bane before it was destroyed with the laser powered by Torchwood was a weapon that was designed by both the Time Lords and Dragonoids to be a weapon that would stop wars. It had then been dismantled because it was too dangerous as deemed by its creators. Dalek X would have found it if the Daleks and the Doctor hadn't decided to work together. The peices of the Star Bane were found and would have been destroyed if Seth had not joined Dalek X. Now we would have lost the earth if it was not for Dalek Sec. A Dalek who is unlike any others. He fights for everything that goes against the Dalek Empire and now wishes to join UNIT! I hope that whatever team he is placed in will treat him with open arms like how the Doctor and Nightshade were treated when they joined!" she said not stopping.

She looked behind her to where Dalek Sec hovered beside the Doctor. "Now if all of you would join me in welcoming Dalek Sec to UNIT!" she said clapping her hands as Sec rolled forwards. The men and women in the garden of the UNIT mansion all clapped their hands. It was good to have a Dalek on their side making Dalek and Cybermen invasions much more manageable than before.

She smiled at Dalek Sec before saying, "Welcome to UNIT, Dalek Sec!"

"THANK YOU KATE STEWART! I AM READY TO HELP DEFEND YOUR WORLD FROM INVADERS INCLUDING HOME GROWN THREATS!" he reported to her. He was thankfully that she nodded her head before walking off. Bonnie and Osgood following behind her.

The members of UNIT all patted his domed head before they made their way into the mansion for something to eat. There was no doubt that after this the Doctor would disappear and Nightshade was already heading up to Stirling so she could get things sorted up there. Whatever was happening the Dragonoid was keeping it well hidden and away from prying eyes. He didn't mind not being around them any more, so long as he felt that he belonged and he did belong with UNIT.

He had found his place in the universe. He had found a new family. It may not have been made out of the same flesh and blood, but it was still family. It was his family.
