The trio landed in a wooden décor Console Room that contained stained glass windows, a rather large wall monitor, various clutter scattered around the place and it was a tad smaller than the regular Console Room.

"Ohh, I remember this one!" J.D uttered as he looked around the Console Room. "This is the secondary console room The Doctor decided to use because Sarah-Jane liked it."

"Aye, I often wondered why he changed Console Rooms," Alexia spoke up, looking around. "It's a tad snug."

John nodded in agreement as he fiddled around with the console, while Alexia turned to her daughter, frowning. "What you just did? Is that considered as a Paradox?" She asked.

A thoughtful expression appeared on Jaime's face. "Aye, I suppose it could!" She answered. "Thing is, he won't remember our visit. All he'll actually remember is that he blew up a factory, helped tae place a banana grove and then suddenly had a good idea tae go back tae Rose."

Surprise washed off Alexia. "Really? Is that the time-stream thing you mentioned before?" She asked.

"Yep!" John answered instead as he continued to fiddle with the Console. "When we arrive, our time stream merges with The Doctor's and he'll remember us as long as we're here. When we do leave, his time stream will sync back into place and he'll forget us." The Half-Time Lord explained.

Alexia furrowed her brow and nodded faintly. "And that happens with every version of The Doctor?"

"Yep!" John said.

"Along with companions, if necessary." Jaime added.

"Aha!" J.D crowed once he found what he wanted and pressed a button..

The view screen on the wall opened up and they all saw that they were flying through the Vortex.

"We're in flight." Alexia stated.

It was really hard to tell if they were stationary or in flight because there wasn't a Time Rotar in the Console. Before anyone had a chance to reply to this, they were interrupted by a companion walking through the open doorway from the inner TARDIS.

"Doctor, where did you say…" She stopped in surprise when she saw the three strangers in the console room, eyes widening.

Alexia stared back at the companion who was dressed in skimpy warrior clothes of the Sevateem. It was Leela.

"Oh, hello there!" John spoke first with a little wave.

In reply, Leela let out a Warrior scream, pulled out her knife, jumped down the steps, ran straight at a wide-eyed John and pinned him against the wall. She placed her weapon against his throat. "Who are you stranger?" Leela demanded. "How did you…" She glanced at Alexia and Jaime. "…and your women get aboard the Doctor's ship?" She asked.

"Well…" John squeaked, sounding very scared. "…it would be a lot easier to explain if I didn't have a knife to my throat." He said.

Leela's only action was to growl and shove the weapon closer to his throat. "Reveal yourself or I'll send you off to your God earlier than expected." Leela continued to demand. The feeling of heightened fear washed off certain people in the room. In Leela's case adrenaline, panic and anger washed off her.

Jaime took a step towards the Warrior Woman with her hands raised. "Leela," she called and felt surprise and suspicion from the warrior. "Let him go, Leela."

But Leela shook her head, glaring at John. "Not until you tell me who you are!" She growled.

"Sorry, no. It doesnae work like that," Jaime said. "If you put that weapon away, then we'll tell you who we are."

No-one made a move and it appeared they were at a stalemate.

"For the love of sanity, you're dealing with a feral creature here!" Alexia cried out. "Just tell her to put her knife down!"

"Shhhh…" Jaime hushed her mother, though she had a point. She looked at John who was being very careful to breathe. *What do you think?* She mentally asked her bond-mate.

*Do it!* Came his panicked reply. *Do it, NOW!*

Nodding her head silently, Jaime took another step towards Leela. "Can you put your weapon down, please." She commanded towards the Sevateem warrior.

Leela blinked several times and her hand loosened on her weapon where it clattered to the floor. While she was stunned, John pushed her away and ran to Jaime's safety. Poor Leela shook her head in confusion and looked down at her knife, puzzled. "What did you do to me?" She asked, looking up at Jaime. "Some sort of…thought control?"

A grim smile appeared on Jaime's face. "Sorry, but I rather you didnae threaten tae kill people with your knife." She replied as Leela went to retrieve her knife without taking her eyes off Jaime.

"We shall see about that!" The warrior uttered, feeling intimidated by the female stranger. She threw her knife at Jaime but it was caught in a telekinetic hold. Leela gasped, her eyes widening again.

"You could just ask us our names instead of revertin' tae your primitive nature." Jaime admonished, letting Leela's knife clatter to the floor.

In reply, Leela started shouting for the Doctor, even going so far as running out of the console room.

"That ended well!" Alexia sarcastically stated with a shake of her head.

"Well, I'm not surprised," J.D answered her. "When she boarded the TARDIS she was barely civilised. Not to mention she had invited herself on board." He rubbed at his neck, feeling pretty sure that Leela had nicked him with her knife.

"You're fine." Jaime answered his thoughts before picking up the discarded knife and placing it on top of the console. Faint chatter from the inner TARDIS caught her attention, so she pulled herself onto the railing surrounding the console and waited. Moving behind her, J.D put his arms around her waist and once again nuzzled her neck. "I can hear The Doctor comin'." Jaime told the Half-Time Lord.

He just grunted a reply.

As for Alexia, she was watching the monitor, Vortex mesmerising her. "I can't hear anything!" Alexia said thoughtfully and shook her head. Her human hearing wasn't as acute as John and Jaime's hearing. Although, over a minute later she could actually hear the Fourth Doctor's booming voice, alongside Leela's own panicky voice.

"Alright, alright, calm down." The Doctor was telling her. "We're in the Vortex. It's physically impossible for someone to get into the TARDIS while in flight."

Both J.D and Jaime chuckled when they heard this. Alexia smiled, humoured by the Doctor's words and leaned against the railing as she waited.

Finally the Doctor appeared from within the inner TARDIS and walked into the Console Room. He stopped at the top of the steps when he saw there was indeed strangers in his TARDIS. "By Omega's beard, you were right!" He said to Leela who was still in the corridor and peering in from around the doorway. "There are people in the Console Room! Who are you and how did you get in here?" He asked.

"Be wary, Doctor," Leela spoke up. "That girl tricks your Mind."

The Doctor raised his brows at this and Jaime sighed when she felt his suspicion. "You know me, Doctor. You just havnae remembered me yet." She answered The Doctor's question while wondering if she was going to have a serious issue with Leela.

As for The Doctor, he blinked several times when new memories came to Mind. "Oh! There really is no need to worry, Leela. I know them." He told his companion before entering the Console Room. "That's my daughter, her mother and my brother."

Hearing this, Leela gasped and moved into the doorway, watching as the pale female scooted off the rail and hugged The Doctor. She wasn't sure if she should believe they were family members. Especially when he said he hadn't known them seconds before. Nor did he look like a family man. She didn't trust the strangers and she was going to keep a wary eye on them. "You never said you had a family." Leela tested, walking into the Console Room but remained at the top of the steps. Then she saw that her knife had been placed on top of the console and became twitchy.

"Well it's all terribly complicated and you wouldn't understand." The Doctor told his companion, which quite frankly made her feel even more suspicious.

The Doctor looked around at his new guests, knowing they were from his future. And he did wonder why they were here before putting his arm around his adopted daughter's shoulders. "This is Jaime." He introduced the Scots-girl, who smiled grimly. "This is my brother, John." The Doctor next introduced, frowning when he noticed the Half-Time Lord was shifting uncomfortably on his feet. "And this is…uhh…oh, Jaime's mother." He lastly introduced the woman.

Alexia sighed and rolled her eyes at this. "It's Alexia," she told him. "My name is Alexia." What was it with versions of The Doctor forgetting people's names?

"Yes, yes." The Doctor dismissed distractedly, making Alexia huff in annoyance.

"You don't look like each other," Leela spoke up. She was now at the bottom of the steps and edging her way towards the Console. "If you were related you'd look like each other." The brown haired female didn't look at all similar to the pale female. The brown haired freckled man didn't look similar to The Doctor.

Jaime was about to speak up when The Doctor answered the Sevateem warrior's question. "Leela, like I said, it's terribly complicated." He said. Furrowing her brows, Alexia wondered why The Doctor seemed unwilling to help Leela understand who they actually were.

At this point, Leela was as close to the Console she could get and she was able to snatch her knife up and return it to its place by her side. She glared at the strangers who claimed to be family, remaining suspicious of their activities.

Meanwhile, a curious Doctor wanted to ask his guests why they were here…until his attention returned to John, who was still shifting about on his feet. And not only that, he could sense arousal from his Metacrisis brother. "What on Gallifrey is wrong with you?" He asked the Half-Time Lord. "Do you have Dustworms in your pants?" Although that wouldn't be the cause of the arousal.

J.D's eyes widened and his face blushed as waves of embarrassment washed off him. They were in a particularly awkward situation in which they couldn't really tell The Doctor what was going on.

"John just needs the toilet," Alexia spoke up, saving the pair from complete and utter embarrassment. "He's just being too polite to ask."

Smiling sheepishly, John's face turned even redder and he looked away.

"Oh? Well the bathroom is in its usual place." The Doctor told his brother.

When John didn't move, Jaime gave him a telepathic push. *Go!* she ordered and he quickly waddled to the door and into the corridor.

As soon as he was out of their sight, J.D felt the ice melting. He stopped and squawked when he felt ice water running down his legs. It soon warmed up and he felt his arousal sky rocket…but now his underwear and trousers were soaking wet. He grinned, knowing he had to sort himself out and hurried down the corridor.

*Don't take too long and keep your hands off yourself,* Jaime warned in his Mind. *Because I'll know!*

The grin fell off his face and he groaned.

Back in the Console Room, The Doctor moved over to the console and pressed the button to cover the wall monitor. Once he'd done that he turned back to Jaime with a big toothy grin on his face. "What are you doing here this time?" He asked, ever more curious.

"Och, do we really need an excuse tae be here?" Jaime replied, blushing slightly. "I just wanted tae visit you, that's all."

The Time Lord chuckled, his blue eyes wide. "Me? You wanted to see little old me? I'm rather flattered," he replied. "It's been a long time since I last saw you."

Jaime nodded before glancing over at Leela when she continued to feel the woman's suspicion. "Aye, I suppose it has." She said thoughtfully.

"Hold on," Alexia interrupted them. "What do you mean by 'this time'? Have you been here before?"

Jaime looked over at her mum. "Aye, that's right. We got into a wee bit of trouble on Helter, so me and John made a quick escape and ended up in the Console Room of this Doctor's TARDIS." The Scots-girl explained.

"Yes, I remember," The Doctor picked up. "I had Sarah-Jane travelling with me at the time." He grinned at Jaime and leaned against the railing. "I dropped the both of you off in New York. How was it?"

Jaime winced at the reminder of their awful trip to early noughties New York, yet she felt this Doctor's curiousness. Maybe he hadn't known what would happen on that fateful day. "It would have been amazin'," Jaime answered his question. "If you hadnae dropped us off in the middle of a terrorist attack!"

"WHAT!" The Doctor boomed, scaring Leela so much her hand went back to her knife.

"He did what?" Alexia angrily echoed as a shocked Leela kept her hand on her weapon. She had no idea what they were talking about but it sounded bad.

"Aye," Jaime replied. "It was right in the middle of the Plaza between the Twin Towers with only less than a minute tae go." She stopped talking, thinking about the incident once again and what she'd felt. "Do you have any idea what it's like tae feel the emotions of thousands of people trapped in two burnin' buildin's?" The Scots-girl glared back at a wide-eyed Doctor. "Or what it's even like tae feel thousands of people dyin' at the same time? Because it was horrible and it hurt. And it was at a time I could barely control my powers. It took our Doctor all day tae find us again." She could feel anger from her mum and curious confusion from Leela, but decided to ignore it for the moment because The Doctor was feeling guilty.

"Jaime! I'm sorry. I didn't know there was an attack on New York. If it had been a Fixed Point the TARDIS would never have landed there." The Doctor seemed to timidly approach her. "Come here!" He uttered and pulled Jaime towards him and captured her into a hug.

The Omni put her arms around The Doctor in a return hug, closed her eyes and sniffed. This one smelled of time, mothballs and jelly babies…obviously!

"Doctor?" She heard Alexia speak up and her dad acknowledged the woman with a grunt. "There is something I told your future self if you were to ever put my daughter in danger."

Jaime's eyes flashed open as she remembered her mum's anger and felt she would do something drastic she would likely to regret later. The Scots-girl stepped back from The Doctor and looked over at her ma', noticing the angry glare. When she checked the Timelines she saw several possibilities so she had no idea which thing Alexia would do.

"Oh? And what's that?" The Doctor inquired, looking over at Alexia as she approached him.

She placed her hands on his upper arms and smiled sweetly. The Doctor grinned back. "I told him I would have his balls!" Alexia told him and before Jaime could even react, her mum had rammed her knee into the Doctor's testicles.

"Mother!" A wide-eyed Jaime exclaimed as a groaning Doctor sunk to the floor with his hands between his legs. "Wha' the hell?" She fell to her knees to check on the Doctor, his pain washing off him in endless waves.

"I promised I would do so and I kept that promise." Alexia continued.

"You didnae have tae bloody act on it!" Jaime snapped back. Laughter made the MacInarah's look up and found Leela laughing her head off. "What's so funny?" Jaime snapped at the companion.

"You are a warrior," Leela said to Alexia. "You would fight to protect your family. I like you."

Alexia grinned but Jaime just groaned.

A sudden beeping from the console caught Jaime's attention and she quickly jumped to her feet. Checking a section of the control panel. "Mauve alert! Some sort of S.O.S call!" She explained, registering a wave of surprise from Leela knowing that she could work her way around the console. "Co-ordinates show that it's somewhere near the Isop Galaxy. It's…" She peered more closely at the monitor screen on the control panel and gasped, her dark eyes widening. "It's Tetrapyriarbus!"

Alexia looked up at her daughter, finding the name of the planet familiar.

"Who is Tetrapyriarbus? Leela asked.

The Doctor sprang to his feet as if he hadn't been knee'd in the balls and quickly joined Jaime at the console to get a look at what she was seeing. "Not who, but what." He answered his companion. "Tetrapyriarbus is a planet. Home of the Tetraps."

Leela blushed at her mistake. "What are Tetraps?" She asked instead.

"A Tetrap has a humanoidal appearance but they look like a cross between a boar and a bat. They're known to feed on blood plasma."

"Blood?" Leela's eyes widened. "They are blood suckers like the Swamp Toads of my planet?"

The Doctor nodded his head. "Although I don't understand why there would be an S.O.S originating from Tetrapyriarbus. What would the problem be?" The Time Lord looked at Jaime. "You sounded surprised it was Tetrapyriarbus. Have you dealt with the Tetraps before?"

"Well, not exactly," the Scots-girl looked up at The Doctor with a sheepish smile. "We sort of turned up completely by surprise by accident in the middle of a scheme."

The Doctor raised his brows. "Turned up where?" He asked.

"Lakertya," Jaime answered him. "There were several Tetraps there usin' the natives as slaves."

"And The Rani." Alexia added. "She was there too."

A bout of laughter hit The Doctor. "That old witch?" He uttered. "Been a long time since I last saw her. What is she up to?"

"She's not up tae anythin'," Jaime told her dad with a shake of her head. "Her plan fell through, thanks tae us, and the Tetraps decided tae kidnap her and take her tae their planet."

"That S.O.S is likely from The Rani," Alexia picked up. "Not to mention they have a food shortage."

The Doctor paced around the Console Room in deep thought and the three women watched him do it.

But it was Leela who broke through his thought process. "These Tetraps feed on blood and now there's a shortage of food," she placed her hand on her weapon. "What if it's a trap, Doctor?" She asked.

Alexia nodded in agreement. "She's got a point," she said. "Especially if The Rani's involved. They may have kidnapped her but she's probably managed to make them work for her."

Stopping his pacing, The Doctor turned his attention to Jaime. "A possible trap to lure us in or a genuine rescue mission. What do you think?" He asked.

Jaime found herself grinning. "It doesnae matter what it could be," she answered. "We should risk it and go anyway!"

The Doctor's grin was just as big. "That's exactly what I was thinking." He said, set in the co-ordinates and sent the TARDIS on its destination.

Feeling the TARDIS change direction, Alexia almost tumbled to the floor, but luckily Leela caught her before she could fall. "Thanks!" She muttered.

"We warriors must stick together." Leela replied, not understanding the woman's bemused frown.

*Hurry up and get changed,* Jaime called to John as she and The Doctor worked around the console. *No time for self pleasure. We have an emergency.* She sensed his acknowledgement and was pleased to know he would hurry straight back.

One minute and twelve seconds later, J.D came running into the Console Room wearing a new pair of baggy jeans and jumped down the steps. "What's going on?" He asked, brown eyes wide.

"S.O.S, we have a rescue on." Jaime answered. Skipping past the Doctor in order to press some buttons.

"Except the destination is to the incredibly dangerous Tetrapyriarbus," Alexia told the Half-Time Lord. "And the person that needs rescuing is The Rani."

Hearing this, J.D's features twisted into a grimace. "Why exactly are we off to rescue The Rani, of all people?" He practically shouted.

"Because it's a fellow Time Lord in trouble," the Doctor answered his brother. "Even though the Time Lord is a witch with barely any morals of a scientific nature."

"And it's an S.O.S. You cannae ignore somethin' like an S.O.S." Jaime spoke up.

"Even if it's probably a trap." Leela added, causing J.D to glance over at her. He had a feeling the Sevateem warrior would relish being put in a trap. After all, she did take her adventure with The Doctor in her stride.

John groaned and leaned on the railing surrounding the console. "Right, well we should stick together at all costs, because those Tetraps are dangerous in any type of situation. Being on a planet full of Tetraps is just asking for trouble."

The Doctor snorted. "Hark at you putting yourself in charge." He said in a snarky way. Narrowing his eyes, John opened his mouth to reply, until the TARDIS landed with a thud. "We're here." The Doctor exclaimed, pressing a button to open the door.
