Like I said before, I hate putting chapters in parts, but because this was going over 10,000 words (and because my iPad can't seem to handle it) I had to split it up.
For quite some time the Console Room remained silent with the two groups staring at each other.
Then the silence was broken by Alexia speaking up. "Oh…my…god! It's the Fifth Doctor! The ACTUAL Fifth Doctor!" She exclaimed, completely marking out before turning to her daughter. "Did you know?" She asked Jaime cryptically. The woman looked back at the Fifth Doctor with a happy grin. The Doctor, as played by Peter Davison, was her all time favourite classic Doctor.
Feeling her mum's excitement washing off in waves, a confused Jaime turned to her. "Huh? Did I know what?" She asked.
"Did you know we'd be dropping in on the Fifth Doctor?" Alexia reiterated her question. "After all you are the Super Psychic!"
A still confused Jaime shook her head. "No, I didnae know," she replied. "It depends on how I connect tae a TARDIS. This one bein' in the vicinity at the time as it was in the Eye of Orion." Jaime explained.
"Okay, so you can connect to the TARDIS but only if it's close by?" Alexia asked in order to clarify what she heard and her daughter nodded. "I'm sure you didn't mention that before, but that is truly amazing. You continue to surprise me."
Jaime grinned sheepishly.
"Wait a minute!" John spoke up. "Did you say we're at the Eye of Orion?" He asked, looking from Jaime to Alexia, his eyes wide.
"Aye," Jaime replied with a nod. "Why?" She could feel he was extremely worried and he looked spooked.
"There's something familiar about this. I just can't put my finger on it." He replied.
Now both Jaime and Alexia looked worried as well. "How do you mean?" Alexia questioned. "Why does it…"
"Who the hell are you?" The Fifth Doctor finally uttered in anger once the shock had worn off. "And what are you doing aboard my TARDIS?"
The three Time Travellers from the future dithered a bit until the Half-Time Lord stepped forward in order to explain why they were here. Only he never got to explain why because the Fifth Doctor suddenly collapsed to the floor, Turlough barely catching him.
Tegan gasped in shock. "What's the matter with you, Doctor?" She cried out, falling to her knees in a bid to help him. She was quickly joined by Turlough, Alexia and John. "What's wrong with him?" Tegan cried out again in a questioning manner, because quite frankly he'd been acting odd for the last half hour. It was then that the Doctor began to fade out and Tegan panicked even more.
"I thought this felt familiar," John uttered. "I recognise what's happening." "I do too!" Alexia blurted out and he looked at her grimly. He didn't need to do the maths to work out this was another one of their episodes. "Save it for later," he told her before turning to Jaime. "Get the TARDIS into the Vortex ," he ordered her. "Quickly!"
With a nod of her head, Jaime turned to the console, quickly set up the destination and pulled the lever. The Rotor began to move with a wheeze/groan and the TARDIS hurtled into the Vortex. Turlough watched her do this, amazed that somebody else, other than the Doctor, could fly the TARDIS.
"Do something!" Tegan cried out when it looked like The Doctor was going to completely fade out.
"We are," Alexia replied. "Calm down!"
The Half-Time Lord smirked at her attempt to calm the loudmouth Australian. "Somebody's messing about with the Doctor's Timeline," J.D explained for Tegan and Turlough. "He'll be okay in a bit."
Glancing at John, Alexia knew the Doctor would be far from okay. A certain Time Lord, she couldn't quite remember the name, was messing around with the Doctor, his previous selves and his companions. They were in the beginning of 'The Five Doctors'.
"Are you sure?" Turlough questioned John. "He doesn't look at all okay!"
"Just listen tae the professionals, Turlough. We know what we're doin'." Jaime told the young ginger as she leaned against the console.
The young man just about couldn't take anymore and stood up, glaring at the strangers. "Look, just who are you people?" He questioned.
John also stood up, except he looked sheepish as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Well I'm…" He was about to introduce himself using his full name until he sensed a warning from Jaime. "…Doctor Smith," her told the companions and nodded at Alexia. "This is Alexia and over there is…"
"You can call me The Omni." Jaime introduced herself.
"Doctor?" A wide-eyed Tegan uttered. "Are you a version of the Doctor?" She asked. "Because he said something about his other selves earlier."
John glanced at the almost invisible Doctor. "No," he shook his head. "I'm not The Doctor, well I sort of am but it's complicated. I'm his brother."
"Oh!" Tegan exclaimed, a look of understanding appearing on her face. "You're family?" She looked at Alexia. "What does that make you then?" She asked the woman.
"Family friend."
"Mother-in-law."
Alexia and John said at the same time, followed by surprise from Alexia when she looked at the Half-Time Lord.
"And you?" Tegan asked Jaime, her eyes narrowed. "Are you a Time Lord as well like The Doctor and The Master?"
The Omni shook her head. "No, technically I'm a Time Lord/Human Hybrid. Much like my bond-mate Doctor Smith. I'm The Doctor's daughter." Waves of shock washed off the two humans. "He adopted me." Jaime added. Now she felt their understanding.
"Talk about keeping it in the family!" Tegan sniped.
The TARDIS landed at its destination with a thud.
"Where are we?" Turlough asked.
"No idea, I just put the co-ordinates in at random," Jaime replied. "Let's see where we are!" And she flicked a switch, causing the cover on the wall monitor to rise.
Once it was fully up, all occupants stared at the view. It was nothing but inhospitable landscape and in the distance was a rather dark and ominous looking Tower looming over the land.
Turlough approached a section of the console and did some checks. "According to the instruments, we're nowhere in time." He stated.
"Oh, it's not nowhere," John told him. "It's worse than that."
Tegan stood up along with Alexia. "So where exactly are we?" She more or less demanded.
"The Death Zone," Alexia answered, completely surprising John. "That over there is the Dark Tower. We're on Gallifrey."
J.D was rather curious to know how many episodes of this show of theirs took place on his home planet, but now wasn't the right time to question.
"You mean you took the Doctor home?" Tegan said to Jaime but she shook her head.
"Nah, not me. I think my co-ordinates were hi-jacked." She defended her piloting skills.
A groan was heard and when everyone looked down at the Doctor he had stopped fading away and was back in solid form.
"Doctor!" Tegan cried, returning to the Time Lord's side and falling back to her knees. "What's happening to you?" She asked. "Your brother said your Timeline was being messed with."
Waves of confusion came from The Doctor and a puzzled expression appeared on his face. "Brax?" He uttered but shook his head. "No, need to concentrate. I'm being sucked into a Time Vortex, part of me is there already. It's pulling the rest. I must send a signal."
Tegan felt confused. "What signal?" She asked before looking up at John, worried. "What is he talking about?"
"I must send a signal," the Doctor continued to mutter. "Find them. I must be whole."
"Doctor, what do you mean?" Turlough asked.
Luckily for the Doctor's two confused companions, J.D was happy enough to give them an explanation. "In order to fix what's happening to him, the Doctor sent out a recall signal to all of his previous selves."
Turlough nodded, understanding more than Tegan did. "So you're saying his previous selves will be coming here?" He asked.
Jaime nodded her head. "Aye! That's what he said." She replied, watching as John and Tegan pulled the Doctor to his feet.
"Is that what you meant, Doctor?" Tegan asked, obviously wanting to fully understand.
"More or less!" The Doctor replied, staring at John and trying to figure out who he was. "Who are you?" He asked, confused.
"He said he was your brother." They told him again and the Doctor peered more closely at John.
"Brax? You don't look like him! Nor can I sense you."
The Half-Time Lord smiled sheepishly. "Uhh, no. I'm your 'other brother'!" John reiterated.
It just left the Doctor even more puzzled.
"And she said she was your daughter." Turlough nodded at Jaime, who rolled her eyes at his tact.
"What?!" The Doctor's voice turned squeaky as he stared at Jaime. "But that should be impossible!"
"I can explain it if you let me show you." John tried to calm the Doctor and gain his trust.
The Time Lord gave him a look of suspicion but he nodded his head anyway. So J.D placed a hand on the side of the Doctor's head and showed him the basics.
Once he had the necessary info the Doctor nodded his head. "I understand now. Yes, he is my brother, and yes, The Omni is my daughter I adopted. Just not yet at least. They're from my future, that's why I didn't know from the start."
Tegan looked looked from the Doctor to John, Jaime and Alexia. "Oh, well, I suppose that makes sense." She said now.
The Doctor turned his attention to Alexia, puzzled because he'd never seen her before, yet she bared some resemblance to Jaime's First incarnation. "And who are you?" He asked.
"This is my ma'." Jaime introduced, chuckling at the excitement that was washing off her.
Alexia was grinning like a mad woman. "I'm Alexia." She said and the Doctor smiled back at her.
"Hello, I'm The Doctor." He replied, holding out his hand.
"Oh, I know you are!" She answered in such a coy manner that alarm bells rang and Jaime narrowed her eyes suspiciously. And then, to her actual surprise, along with everyone else in the console room, Alexia grabbed the Doctor by the lapels, pulled him towards her and full on kissed him.
"MOTHER!" A shocked Jaime squawked. John stared, dumbfounded and the Doctor's blue eyes widened as his arms wind-milled. His two companions watched on, completely gobsmacked.
When Alexia was done she let go of the Doctor and stepped back from him. "Oh, you're definitely the Doctor!" Alexia sighed with a wink.
Somewhat stunned, the Fifth Doctor collapsed to the floor, unconscious.
"Doctor!" Tegan cried, falling to her knees again to check on The Doctor, this time lightly slapping his face in a bid to wake him up. "What did you do to him?" She accused Alexia as Turlough helped her.
"Oh, ha'way!" Alexia put her hands on her hips. "It wasn't THAT bad."
Extremely annoyed, The Omni pulled the woman away from the Doctor. "Wha' the bloody hell was tha' 'bout?" She demanded.
Alexia smiled sheepishly, her face beginning to blush. "Sorry, I just couldn't help it. Peter Davison was my teenage crush…and my favourite Doctor at the time."
John groaned and shook his head. "A simple hug would have just done!" He admonished the woman and her face turned even redder.
"What are you lot talking about?" Turlough demanded.
Nobody gave him an answer as, once again, the TARDIS door opened and two more people walked into the Time Machine. This time it was the First Doctor and an older, adult Susan. To Alexia's surprise it wasn't the Richard Hurndall version of the Doctor. It was the original Doctor that looked like William Hartnell.
Tegan stood up and stared at the new strangers. "Who are you?" She asked.
The First Doctor looked around at the six strangers in the Console Room of his TARDIS. "More to the point, what are you young people doing inside my TARDIS?" He asked.
Tegan glared at the Doctor and folded her arms. "It's HIS TARDIS." She replied, nodding down at the unconscious Fifth Doctor.
"And who might he be?" The First Doctor asked as he looked down at his future self.
"The Doctor." Turlough told him.
"Hmm…good grief!" One realised.
At this point the Fifth Doctor had regained consciousness and opened his eyes, smiling when he saw his past incarnation. "You're here, you're here." He said.
"Yes. Evidently," the younger Doctor appeared to smirk. "Now take it steadily, my boy, and let me help you up." Despite his appearance, One had a strong grip and helped Five back to his feet.
Alexia noticed the rest of the conversation took place in a different language and she had to presume it was their native Gallifreyan language. She also noticed that her daughter appeared to understand what was being said as she looked too embroiled in the conversation.
Finally, One turned his attention back to Five's companions. "And, er, you four are…" He queried.
"Turlough." The ginger introduced himself.
"Alexia MacInarah." Alexia introduced herself and expected Jaime and John to introduce themselves next when the First Doctor looked at them. Except they didn't and he furrowed his brow before turning his attention to Tegan.
"And I'm Tegan Jovanka," Tegan replied. "Who might you be?" She asked the First Doctor.
A sardonic expression appeared on One's face. "I might be any number of things, young lady," he answered the Australian. "As it happens, I am The Doctor. The original, you might say."
The look of surprise and shock coming from Tegan made Jaime grin.
The former Air Stewardess was looking from one Doctor to the other. "But you shouldn't be here at the same time. With him, should you?" She asked, sounding worried.
"Certainly not…" One said.
"It only happens in the gravest of emergencies…" Five picked up.
"Like now…" One continued.
"Yes, unfortunately." Five finished.
The First Doctor once more turned his attention to Tegan and he requested her to get them some tea. Tegan took offence at being told what to do but Five calmed her down and asked Turlough to go with her.
"Thank you." Turlough said and followed Tegan into the inner TARDIS. Alexia was about to follow the two companions until Jaime stopped her.
One frowned before turning to Five. "And now, young fellow, before you tell me all about it," he looked at the three strangers who had such odd timelines. "Who are these people?"
Doctor Number Five looked towards his family before giving a nervous suspicious look at Alexia. "That's Alexia, mother to Jaime," he began to introduce. "That's Jaime," he nodded at the Scots-girl. "Our adopted daughter…" He sensed surprise from his past self and the look on his face was one of bafflement. "…and this is…Smith…our brother." Now the original Doctor looked bemused. "They're from our future." Five added.
Jaime expected a reaction from the First Doctor, so she was not all that surprised to feel his anger washing off him. She wasn't particularly worried either as he was well known for being a crotchety old git. Though she couldn't say the same about her mother and John. She could feel they were very worried.
Still bemused and looking angry because he didn't believe what his future self said, One turned to face Five. "Contact, my boy, contact!" He all but demanded.
Both incarnations closed their eyes and established telepathic contact. When it was done they opened their eyes again and One appeared to have calmed down, a knowing smirk on his face.
"Yes, yes. I fully understand now," he said. "I see how that could have happened." One looked at the Half-Time Lord and tottered over to him to give closer scrutiny. "Interesting, very interesting." One muttered, causing John to shift nervously on his feet as he rubbed the back of his neck. "An actual two-way Metacrisis of a future me, fascinating. Of course, you do realise a Metacrisis cloning is an illegal looming, don't you, young man?"
Brown eyes wide, J.D silently nodded.
"And if the Time Lords were to ever know you existed they would likely to destroy you."
Alexia gasped, her eyes widening, while Jaime took offence.
"Aye, well they'd have tae get through me first," she growled, pushing her way in between the First Doctor and John, giving a dark eyed glare at One. "And I ain't no pushover." She felt pride and adoration washing off John as the First Doctor smirked sardonically.
"Hmm, yes…" He turned away. "I believe they would find you rather formidable." He said as he returned to Five's side and gave Jaime a serious look. "But you're also loyal and protective of him, my dear, I don't exactly fully understand what is happening in my far flung future, yet I do know I would be proud to call you my daughter."
Jaime smiled at this, feeling extremely happy to have been accepted by the First Doctor.
Susan, who had been listening and watching this entire time, finally spoke up. "Grandfather, what is going on here?" She asked. "What makes these people family?"
One turned his attention to his Grand-daughter in order to speak to her. But Jaime took the decision and approached Susan.
"Arkytior Lungbarrowmas," the Scots-girl spoke to the older female in Gallifreyan, registering the look of surprise from Susan and feeling it from both incarnations of The Doctor. "Wife to David Campbell, Grand-daughter to Theta-Sigma, also known as The Doctor, daughter to the House of Lungbarrow. My name is Jaime MacInarah, also known as The Omni. To fully understand how we became family you need to trust me. Can you do that?"
Susan was suspicious but she was also curious so she nodded her head.
"Then let me show you!" Jaime added, raising her hand.
In a bid to show Susan everything about her, she lightly grazed her fingers across the Time Lady's temple. Susan gasped at the info-dump she was given before staring at Jaime in a new light.
The Omni grinned back. "I think that would make us cousins, would it not?" She asked in English and Susan nodded her head.
She gathered the younger female in her arms and they both hugged it out.
After awhile, Turlough and Tegan returned from the kitchen with snacks and refreshments provided by the TARDIS. Then when everyone else was busy eating, Doctors One and Five began discussing the issue of why they had been pulled from their Time Streams. With a little added help from Jaime and John. The First Doctor wanted to go right ahead and send the signal to the rest of his incarnations and wait for them, but Five just couldn't wait and was rather eager to get a move on because the Time Instability was making him vulnerable. However, One thought that was an extremely dangerous idea.
"Well, they'll never make it," Five stated. "There is evil at work."
Tegan frowned. "Evil?" She asked.
"Oh, yeah, the usual nefarious business we tend to come across," John spoke up. "Only this one is closer to home."
Turlough sighed. "How can you be so sure?" He enquired.
The Omni let out a frustrated noise. "We're in the Death Zone, remember! On Gallifrey." She reminded the ginger.
"Hasn't it actually got something to do with the Tomb of Rassilon?" Alexia said. "Somebody wants to be immortal or something."
Jaime gave her mum a warning glare and J.D shook his head. Though he remembered very little about this incident there had been something about Rassilon that rang a bell.
As for the two Doctors, they were surprised with what she knew. "You seem to know more than you're letting on, my dear," The First Doctor approached the woman. "What else do you know?"
Face blushing, Alexia spluttered over her words until Jaime saved her.
"Mum doesnae know anythin'," she said to One, before adding in Gallifreyan. "We just happen to come from a universe where your adventures are seen on screen, that's all. She just needs to learn to keep her mouth shut."
One nodded his understanding even though he didn't fully grasp what she said.
"So who is Rassilon?" Tegan questioned.
"He was once Lord President of Ancient Gallifrey," Five answered his companion. "Look, we really can't afford to wait," he stressed. "Especially if someone is tapping his power."
A grunt was heard from One. "Well, what do you intend to do, young man?" He asked his future incarnation.
The Fifth Doctor paced a little, looking like he had the entire universe on his shoulders. Finally he turned to everyone watching and announced his intention to go to the Dark Tower. This worried the First Doctor extremely, but Five asked for help in using the scanner to figure things out. Once they got the scanner running, the Doctors brought up an image of the Tower, Jaime, John, One and Susan crowding around him.
"Now, as far as I can make out," Five pointed at the image. "There are three entrances. One above, one below and the main door here."
"Which do you plan to use?" One asked as if it wasn't obvious.
"Uhh…" Five looked confused at his previous incarnation, ignoring the chuckling from several of his companions. "Well the main door would be handy." He replied.
One sighed. "I still think you should wait." He said, yet Five was as adamant than ever.
"There may be very little time!" He cried out, desperate. Susan tried to calm him down but he began pacing in a worrying way.
"Even if you reach the Tower, what are you going to do?" Turlough asked The Doctor.
Five furrowed his brows at his companion. "Uhh…release the TARDIS." He replied, his attention going to the beeping console.
It was John who got to the Scanner first. "Looks like the scanner has found the Forcefield," he stated, peering at the monitor with his glasses on.
"I'll come with you." Susan requested and Five grunted thoughtfully.
"I'd like to come too." Tegan also requested.
"Me too!" Came a third request from Alexia, completely surprising both Half-Time Lords. However, Jaime noticed the odd reaction from the Fifth Doctor when her mum asked to go with him.
As for the First Doctor, he felt that it would be safer if Tegan and Alexia stayed in the TARDIS away from danger. But the Australian only argued back, adamant that she wanted to accompany her Doctor.
"Uhh, yes, okay," Five uttered. "I'd like to bring Tegan and Susan with me…" He gave a suspicious look at Alexia. "It's best you stay in the TARDIS. The Death Zone is a dangerous place for humans."
Glancing at Tegan and bemused at the brush off, Alexia argued that the Australian was human, until Jaime grabbed her hand and told her not to argue with him. Alexia huffed like a child.
"Now," the Fifth Doctor turned to One and J.D. "You'll bring the TARDIS to the Tower as soon as I'll turn off the Forcefield."
"Of course!" The First Doctor replied."
John nodded silently, along with a hint of a salute.
"Of course," Five repeated with an odd look at John. "Right, better get started. Time's running out." He pulled the lever for the door and it opened. "Eureka!" Five uttered and he, along with Tegan and Susan, exited the TARDIS.
Letting out a frustrated sigh, Alexia scooped up a plate of fruit and went to sit on the pilot's seat off to the side of the room. As she ate the weird looking fruit she watched Turlough, the First Doctor, Jaime and John discussing things over the monitor. She couldn't understand why the Doctor didn't want her coming with him. After all, Tegan was human and he let her go with him and Susan.
Yes, she was well aware the Death Zone of Gallifrey was a dangerous place to be for anybody, after all, it had once been used as a bloody and ruthless combat arena. But she had really wanted to accompany the Fifth Doctor in his bid to make it to the Dark Tower…even if he didn't quite manage it. The Master would turn up, followed by the Cybermen. At least that's how she remembered the scene.
Feeling he mum's annoyance, Jaime stepped away from the console and walked over to where Alexia sat, sitting next to her. "Wha's gotten you in such a twist, ma'?" She asked, taking a piece of fruit from the plate.
"What makes you think I'm 'in a twist'?" Alexia replied, air-quoting her words.
Jaime rolled her eyes. "Because I can feel that you're pissed off," she uttered. "It's literally washing off you."
Alexia blew out a breath and shook her head. She kept forgetting that her daughter could feel emotions. "Alright then. If it's bloody dangerous out there, then why'd the Doctor let Tegan go with him? There's Cybermen, Daleks, a bloody Raston Warrior, even The Master. So why didn't he want me along with him?"
Jaime raised her brows, unsure if she was actually hearing this or she was dreaming. Her mum actually sounded like a whiney kid who never got asked to the school disco. "Get a grip, mother," the Scots-girl snarked. "This version of the Doctor knows Tegan more than he knows you. And not only that, but you make him uncomfortable."
Bewildered and bemused, Alexia stared at her daughter, brown eyes wide. "Excuse me? How exactly do I make him uncomfortable?" She asked. "Ain't it obvious?" Jaime answered back. "First thing you did was kiss him. Even I've never done that! I never even thought tae go after The Doctor expectin' tae get a relationship out of him. I mean, if that had happened it would have just been the same old cliched shit!"
Looking puzzled, Alexia blushed, her face going red in embarrassment. "Look, all I did was get a tiny bit carried away in meeting a favourite Doctor. It's not as if this one was in a serious relationship with anybody."
Jaime let out a surprised snort. Her mum wasn't even sorry.
A short time later they were joined by John, who sat next to Jaime. He'd been listening to their conversation. "Why in the name of Rassilon would you even want to go out there for?" He asked Alexia. "It's the Death Zone. There's nothing there apart from rocks and mountains."
"No," the woman shook her head. "It's not the Death Zone that interests me. It's setting foot on Gallifrey and I always wondered what it would actually look like, bar that place out there and inside the Matrix. I just wanted to see what it was like. CGI or a garden on the TARDIS doesn't do it justice."
John sighed and Jaime looked at him before turning her attention back to her mum. "Gallifrey ain't all good you know. Time Lords are pretentious bastards…" John was heard snorting laughter. "…and it's mostly war torn and desert. Maybe that'll change in the future…I mean, there is a version that survived and that one has what you're probably thinkin' of."
"Red grass and silver leafed trees?" Alexia queried and Jaime nodded.
"Speaking of Gallifrey," John spoke up, used to the idea of Gallifrey surviving the Time War at this point. "Just how many of these episodes featured my home planet?"
Alexia looked over at the Half-Time Lord. "Quite a few actually," she told him. "It began with 'War Games' when the Second Doctor was briefly put on trial, then continued with various episodes taking place on Gallifrey."
John nodded his understanding, looking thoughtful. "…Great heavens. Two more traces." The First Doctor was heard to utter and J.D looked over at him and Turlough. He then stood up and rejoined them at the console.
"Time Lords?" Turlough questioned.
"No, he means two more incarnations of The Doctor." John corrected the companion.
One gave a nod. "Quite right, my boy," he said. "The scanner is keyed to my, our, brain patterns." He looked intently at the scanner. "Well, well, well. So the two of them made it. I wonder what happened to the other."
That was a really good question. The Half-Time Lord had vague memories of his Second Incarnation…and…the Brigadier maybe?...walking into a wet looking cave. Or was it his Third Incarnation with Sarah Jane running to safety from a Raston Warrior. He had even less jumbled up memories of his Fourth Incarnation during this incident, and it was all confusing.
Seven and a half minutes later, Tegan and Susan clattered their way back into the TARDIS without the Fifth Doctor. Susan was limping and being helped by the Australian.
"Susan? What happened to you?" One asked, worried something serious had happened to his Granddaughter.
"I think I twisted my ankle." Susan replied as Alexia and Jaime made way for the Time Lady to sit down.
"And where has my future self got to?" One then questioned.
As Tegan told The First Doctor what had happened outside with Five, J.D checked how bad Susan had injured her ankle. She yelped and Jaime sat beside her cousin in a bid to comfort her.
"Sorry!" John apologised. "There's nothing broken. It's just badly sprained." He told Susan and got Turlough to get the First Aid kit. Sensing agitation from Jaime, the Half-Time Lord looked at her, noticing she was restless as she stared at Susan's sprained ankle. "Don't even think about it!" He warned.
"Och, but it'll only take less than a minute. A few seconds at best." Jaime replied, fidgeting even more.
"It's just a sprain. Don't waste your energy on it."
Turlough had returned with the First Aid kit, so John began to bandage Susan's ankle.
"What are you two talking about?" Susan asked in a bid to get her mind off the pain.
"It's nothing to worry about." John told her. Susan shrugged her shoulders.
"And then?" One asked once Tegan finished her explanation.
"Then he just disappeared." Susan said to her Grandfather about the Fifth Doctor.
One grunted in thought.
"What could have happened?" Turlough questioned.
"Sounds like a transmit device was used." John put in.
"Yes, but he must have got it from The Master." Tegan uttered, worried about The Doctor.
"I do hope he's alright." Susan also worried.
"Yes, well. With our young friend gone, I shall have to go to the Dark Tower." One stated.
"I'll come with you." Tegan offered.
"Oh." One furrowed his brow at the Australian and was about to tell her he didn't need her. Yet he felt she wouldn't take no for an answer. "Oh, if you must. Thank you my dear."
Jaime saw a chance and jumped to her feet. "Can I come too?" She requested. The reaction she expected came from her mum and John.
"What? No!" J.D stood up straight and stared at Jaime.
"You said there's nothing much out there!" Alexia argued.
Jaime looked back at her mum and J.D. "It's okay, I know what I'm doin'." She told them.
"No, no, no…out of the question," the First Doctor argued. "It's too dangerous out there for humans, let alone Human Hybrids…"
"Just give me a chance tae explain!" Jaime interrupted One. "I can get you to The Dark Tower quicker without the need for walkin'."
One raised his brows and chuckled. "How will you manage that, my dear?" He asked.
"Teleportation," Jaime answered and continued on before the Doctor could interrupt her. "I mean, The Omni isnae just what I call myself. I am literally that. I'm an Omni-psychic, a Psionic manipulator." And with that she clicked her fingers which made a ball of electrified fire appear in her hand. "See!" She felt waves of surprise washing off various people in the room.
"Wow!" Susan exclaimed, her eyes wide.
"I've seen some wonders while travelling with the Doctor, but never this." Tegan added, looking a tad amazed.
Turlough just stared silently in a gawpy way.
Jaime then extinguished the fire with a fine mist. "So how 'bout it?"
The Doctor smirked. "You won't be able to teleport straight into the Tower. It's surrounded by protection."
"I dinnae care, I just know I can get you there quicker than usual." She argued.
A thoughtful frown appeared on the Doctor's face as he wondered whether he should let her tag along or not. "Alright, if you think you can help, you can come along too." He told the Scots-girl and she grinned happily.
"Thank you!" Jaime said.
"Are you sure about this?" A worried John asked.
Jaime turned to him. "I'll be fine, there's no need tae worry."
John put his hands on her face and leaned forward. "I'll always worry about you you when you're far away from me." He told her and kissed her before stepping back from her. He watched as she hugged Alexia and finally exited the TARDIS with Tegan and The Doctor.
