Plenty research went into this chapter, but if certain things are wrong, then blame the internet and all the map apps.
Also, the character of 'Christopher' is based off a real person. His name has been changed and he can be found on Youtube.
In Lincoln County, Nevada, in a very small town called Rachel, with a population of 54, two TARDIS's were parked up around the back of a motel/restaurant called The Little A'le'inn. It was a popular destination among the alien spotters as they travelled along the Extra-terrestrial Highway. Around the front of the motel/restaurant stood the Tenth and Twelfth Doctors, along with Missy. They were glaring at the novelty signs scattered around the building.
"These humans and their weird obsession with little green men," Missy sneered. "If only they knew the truth!" She grinned in a rather creepy twisted way.
"This is beyond offensive," Twelve uttered, ignoring Missy. "No wonder this State has so many Off-World visitors. They're all laughing at the ridiculous of it all!" He turned his attention to Ten. "Did you know there's a horror movie called 'Alien'?" He asked.
Ten nodded his head. "Yeah, me and Rose watched it one Halloween night." He had found the way the alien bred to be extremely creepy. Not to mention the way the alien looked. If they had been real he never wanted to confront one. And then there was the first character to die via the 'chestburster' who looked a hell of a lot like his younger self during the Time War. It had distracted him so much he'd missed most of the beginning of the movie.
"Och, I love those movies. They're such a hoot!" Missy replied to Twelve's question.
Both Doctors gave The Mistress a withering look.
"You would!" Twelve said to her.
The front door of the motel/restaurant opened and J.D stepped out. "Oi, Spacemen! Are you going to stand out here all day?" He called out. "They've got a little shop selling all sorts of funny alien items."
Ten perked up. "A little shop?" He uttered. "I LOVE a little shop!" And he followed J.D into The Little A'le'inn.
Missy scowled after the younger Doctor before turning to the Twelfth Doctor. "Why don't we just dump the Meta Twins and rescue the Ginger Ninja ourselves?" She asked. She meant that as a compliment. Ever since she first set eyes on her she had potential to be tormented. But Missy quickly found out that Delta was not one to be messed with and ever since their adventure on Skaro she greatly respected the human hybrid. Even after the annoying ginger counter-tricked her into the Dalek casing.
Twelve looked at her, his impressive attack brows furrowed. "Sometimes I often wonder if you have any actual brains in that head of yours." He said to Missy. The Mistress's expression turned into shock at the insult. "Remember it's a paradox. We can't go messing around with them and causing the destruction of Timelines and the Universe. Come on." Twelve said and approached the Restaurant.
Missy let out an exasperated sigh and followed after her Doctor.
Inside the Little A'le'inn, Nardole was busy perusing the little shop with its alien memorabilia, along with the Tenth Doctor. The DeltaVerse Jenny was in a booth with the OmniVerse Jenny and they were busy comparing notes. J.D, Alexia, Rose, Katie, Ed and Cena were sat in a bigger booth, waiting for the two Doctors and Missy to join them.
Alexia looked around the place with curious interest. For an establishment that was literally out in the middle of nowhere, along some not so busy motorway, it appeared to be quite popular. Then she heard the door open and watched as the Twelfth Doctor and Missy walked in. But there was still somebody missing. "Where's Jaime?" She asked the Half-Time Lord. "Didn't she say she would meet us here?"
J.D nodded his head, a thoughtful expression on his face as his skin tingled unpleasantly.
"Well? Where is she?" Alexia worried.
"She'll be here," J.D told her. "It just takes a long time to travel via electric. The United States is a big Country after all!"
Alexia shook her head in disbelief, vaguely remembering she did that before on the Dinosaur ship.
Katie looked fascinated. "Wow! She can do that? She can travel through electrical wiring?" She asked.
J.D nodded his head again. "Of course! Considering she's a Psionic Manipulator she can do just about anything." He answered the young wrestler.
"And that includes Astral Projecting into other Universes?" Cena queried. He was confused as to why this group from an entirely different Universe seemed extremely wary of him.
"Yeah." Rose said, giving him a mistrustful glare.
"When we first travelled with The Doctor, Delta did the same thing. Except it was to Gallifrey, during and after the war." This caught Alexia's attention. "Every morning she'd wake up and look like she hadn't slept a wink, or she'd wake up with new bruises or scratches because of some sort of barrier was making her Projection solid,…" Cena looked a tad confused despite having been a Time Traveller himself. "…I would have thought she'd still be able to do it outside of the TARDIS."
"She still can do it," Ed corrected. "She found it easier to train than Cryokinesis and it was useful for when we were on the job. But these past few years it feels like somebody's watching me sleep, yet there's never anybody there." The MI5 officer shook his head and let out a sigh. "Oh, I don't know. I just miss her."
Alexia knew that feeling well and felt sorry for him. But at least they were close to busting Delta out.
"We all do!" Katie added. She tried not to psycho-analyse Ed because she knew he hated it, but the expression on his face and the look in his eyes told her how much he cared about his missing fiancée.
The flickering of lights made her and everyone else look around out of surprise. Then seconds later all the lights blew out in an explosive way before there was a power outage.
"Looks like Jaime has arrived!" J.D stated.
Outside, close to The Little A'le'inn, was a setup officially deemed as Weather Station. Unofficially it was one of the many surveillance posts dotted around the region. At first it made a faint buzzing noise, then it got louder until it turned into a full on crackle. Because of the highly charged electricity running through it, anyone who had been near it ran from the possible danger. The crackling got louder and the arcs of electricity got worse. Suddenly the whole thing exploded, sending out a big ball of electricity. That soon got bigger and turned into the shape of a humanoid.
The electrical energy ebbed away until Jaime was left standing there, staring at the remains of what used to be a Weather Station/Surveillance Post. "Whoops!" She uttered, feeling the tingle of static electricity across her skin. "I hope tha' wasnae important!" She grinned, knowing it had been. The Scots-girl turned away and walked over to the Little A'le'inn, destroying a couple of mobile phones with an EMP Blast along the way. She really didn't need the publicity here, not to mention she was going undercover soon. Nobody needed to know what she looked like.
By the time she neared the front of the Restaurant/Motel, the door opened and The Doctor quickly stepped out, followed by her mum, J.D and Rose. Jaime grinned when she saw them, though she noticed the Time Lord didn't look all that pleased with her.
"What did you do?" He more or less demanded. "The entire power has gone off in there," then he looked around. "And by the looks of it the entire town!"
Jaime shook her head. "Not jus' here, but the entire North-East, Mid-West and South-West States are currently powerless." They looked at her, aghast.
"What did you do that for?" A shocked Alexia asked her daughter.
"Distraction," Jaime answered. "It will give authorities somethin' tae do. Though I had hoped tha' Area 51 would be out of power but the wee buggers appear tae have their own electricity grid."
Rose frowned. "How can you tell?" She asked.
"I can sense electricity a couple of miles tha' way!" She pointed up the road. "It's strong."
"You can sense it?" Alexia asked, surprised this time.
"Aye!" The Scots-girl nodded.
Awed, J.D moved towards her and went to put his arm around her shoulders, only to yelp when he was given a static electric shock.
"Sorry." Jaime apologised, grimacing.
The Doctor sighed. "Well, it's a start I suppose," he said, rubbing the back of his neck. "But we still have to figure a way to get inside the facility or even know where it is."
They walked back into the building and once they were all sat down began discussing ways of getting into Area 51 and its high security. None of the humans seemed to know where the secure facility was, just that it was in the middle of the Nevada desert. And judging by the heat and the landscape it wasn't wise to go wandering about following the electricity.
"Groom Lake." Somebody said, interrupting their conversation.
All chatter stopped and they looked around for who had interrupted them. Stood close by was a man with very little hair on his head, wearing a checkered shirt, jeans and boots.
"Excuse me?" Ed spoke up, sounding a tad hostile.
"Sorry," the stranger apologised. "I couldn't help overhearing your chat about Area 51. You wanted to know where it is? It's by Groom Lake and nearby Groom Lake Road and Groom Road," he explained. "But if you wanted to know its actual name it's called Homey Airport."
The Tenth Doctor raised an intrigued brow. "What more can you tell us?" He asked the stranger.
"I know for a fact that Area 51 is heavily Surveillanced and heavily guarded. You can't just walk up to the front door, knock on it and ask to be let in. Also, the surrounding areas of Homey Airport are regularly patrolled by the 'Camo Dudes'." His explanation had everyone's attention now.
"Why don't you sit down," the Twelfth Doctor offered. "And tell us your name."
Nodding, the stranger pulled up a chair over to the large group of Time Travellers and sat down. "My name is Christopher and I often do guided tours for those curious to know the where-abouts of Area 51. They're mostly excited about spotting the 'Camo Dudes' driving around in their Raptors." The man know known as Christopher introduced and explained. "And who are you?" He then counter-questioned. "What are your names, apart from the obvious two." He nodded towards the Cena family.
"I'm The Doctor," Twelve introduced and noticed a guarded hint of recognition from Christopher. "And these are my friends and family, Katie, John, Ed, Nardole, Missy and Jenny." He introduced everyone else.
"I'm James Smith," Ten introduced next. "And this is my brother, J.D Smith." He nodded at the Half-Time Lord who gave a little wave.
"I'm Alexia." She spoke next. After that Jaime introduced herself as The Omni, followed by Rose introducing herself as Bad Wolf and finally the OmniVerse Jenny introduced herself as The Infinite.
Christopher looked around at the large group with suspicion, thinking that most of them were a bit odd. As part of the Alien Community he'd heard of The Doctor but hadn't thought he was real. But now here he was, in the flesh and apparently plotting to find a way into Area 51. "It's nice to meet you all," Christopher said to the group. "But if you're thinking of what I suspect you're doing, then it's not a wise idea. Especially after what happened last year."
There were mutters of curiosity from the group. "Why? What happened?" Rose asked, feeling bouts of sadness, surprise and realisation from Katie, Cena and Ed.
"There was a call put out online to storm Area 51," Christopher answered. "It really didn't end well."
"I remember that," Ed spoke up. "The circumstances surrounding the aftermath are being kept under wraps. It's said over 50 people turned up and only sixteen survived." There were several shocked gasps and Cena just shook his head. "Whoever put that call out knew what they were doing and knew what would happen." Ed added.
Meanwhile, Christopher looked devastated. He'd stayed away from such stupidity but he hadn't known about that. "Why do you even want to get near that place anyway?" He continued to question. "Not that you will anyway. Not with those 'Camo Dudes' patrolling the area, in and around the mountains."
A look of curiosity appeared on Alexia's face. "Who are these 'Camo Dudes' you keep mentioning?" She asked the man.
"They're the ones who work at Homey Airport, ma'am," Christopher replied and Alexia blushed at being called 'ma'am'. "They often make regular patrols. The Online Alien Community like to call them 'Camo Dudes' and it kinda stuck."
The Twelfth Doctor had been in deep thought and now he sat forward in his seat, giving Christopher a very serious stern expression. "Are you part of this so-called Online 'Alien Community'?" He asked the man and Christopher nodded. "Then tell me, what else do you know about Area 51?"
Waves of various emotions washed off the Nevadan native and he seemed to be carefully choosing his words. "I do believe in aliens and I do believe they live among us," he said. "Like those shape shifting creatures that are rumoured to be living in the United Kingdom." Twelve gave a hint of a smirk, appearing to know what Christopher had referenced, while Rose could feel a bout of amusement from the Time Lord. "And, at this point, everyone's heard of ICE. Immigration and Customs Enforcers…" He scowled distastefully at the mentioning that particular part of the Government.
"But Online rumours claim there's another Enforcement Agency called Alien Immigration, dubbed as the 'Alien Police' online…" He noticed some odd reactions from some of the group. "…apparently they don't wear uniform, just suits, a bit like 'Men in Black' in a way. I've never seen them myself so I don't know if it's true or not." He finished.
"I have." Cena spoke up.
"Me too." Katie also said.
"And me." Jaime added. She looked around at Ed and the DeltaVerse Jenny expecting them to say the same, only the MI5 officer shook his head.
"They work fast," Ed said. "There were always live reports of their appearance, but by the time we got to where they were last spotted they'd be already gone."
Christopher's eyes were wide with fascination. "They're actually real?" He queried the two wrestlers and pale skinned female. "Where did you see them?"
"Outside in an Arena carpark," Cena answered him. "During an event."
"They took a friend of ours," Katie added. "Her name is Delta Sasco."
Christopher suddenly looked devastated. "What? No!" He uttered in shock. "She was my daughter's favourite wrestler." He shook his head in disbelief. "I didn't know she was an alien."
There was a sudden feeling of high tension among the group of Time Travellers.
"She isn't, but it's a very long and complicated story," Twelve replied, making it clear that Delta was the victim in all of this along with all the other aliens snatched from their homes. "And it's a very complex situation. We want to get Delta and the rest out of there, but we need help. Will you help us?"
Christopher shifted uncomfortably in his seat, the look The Doctor was giving him felt powerful enough to keep him seated. He thought about their call for help but was worried about being called out as a traitor to his country and his fellow humans.
Ed could tell the man was hesitant so he decided to speak up. "All I want is my fiancée back," he appealed. "All her family want is their daughter and sister back. Would you like it if your daughter was taken away from you?" He saw he got the reaction he needed. A look of horror had appeared on his face.
"Okay, yeah," Christopher finally agreed, mainly because he didn't like what his government were doing by locking up people in cages, including children. "I can help. I know my way around the area. My truck is out in the parking lot, so I can show you where Area 51 is."
The Twelfth Doctor nodded in satisfaction.
"Ummm, before we do that, can I get something to eat?" Rose spoke up. "I'm a little bit hungry and I am eating for two." A surprised expression appeared on Twelve's face, then he looked at her with a mad looking grin, happy and excited for the blonde.
"Well, we could do," Ten replied. "But the power's still down."
"They've got a back-up generator," Christopher frowned, looking around the Restaurant. "They should have got it started by now."
Jaime let out an exasperated sigh. "It's alright. I can fix the power. It's my fault anyway." She stood up and went off to find the main power supply.
Christopher's truck turned out to be a mix of Range Rover and Freelander, with plenty of room for four people in the back and three in front. The Tenth and Twelfth Doctors elected to sit in the front with Christopher, while Jaime, Katie, Ed and J.D were all sat in the back. Everyone else was in the DeltaVerse TARDIS observing the monitors as Twelve and Jaime were wearing an audio/visual earpiece. Apparently they were last used when The Boneless were invading, or at least tried to invade.
As for Christopher, he now knew a lot more about the people he was helping after stepping inside the impossibly bigger on the inside blue box. He was currently driving his passengers into the slightly bigger town of Alamo. When they neared a carpark, Christopher slowed down. "See that bus over there," he pointed towards a white bus parked up there and his passengers looked at it. "That's the bus the workers use to get to and from Homey Airport."
Twelve kept his eyes on it for the benefit of those watching in the TARDIS. Katie thought it like a formerly yellow school bus painted white. "So they leave in that bus in the morning and it brings them back at night?" Twelve asked and Chris nodded his head. "What do you think?" He asked those in the TARDIS.
"It's too obvious, sir. Too dangerous." Nardole was heard to say.
"Your weird wee friend is right," Jaime heard Missy say over the comms. "These humans are likely to keep it protected so stealing it wouldn't be a good idea."
To her own surprise, Jaime found herself nodding in agreement with Missy. "I dinnae want tae wait or cause a big scene, not while everyone is still distracted with gettin' the power back on." She said.
Hearing that, Christopher still couldn't believe The Omni had done all that. When she told him she was a manipulator of Psionics he didn't believe her. So she showed him by producing a ball of water in her hand, which then froze into a ball of ice. It scared him a little but he was also amazed.
"I really don't like the look of those police officers." J.D spoke up, looking out of the window.
Jaime followed his gaze and saw that a small group of cops were stood outside what looked like a police station. They were looking over at where the car was idling.
"No, they don't like it when people come by and film the bus," Christopher said, looking at the cops as well, along with the Tenth and Twelfth Doctors. "They know my truck and often work with the Camo Dudes if needed."
In a bid not to gain further attention from the cops, Christopher drove on, leaving the bus behind. They were soon leaving Alamo and drove out along the road into the Nevadan desert.
"Where too now?" Twelve queried their guide, having noticed they were heading back towards Rachel.
"Doubling back to Rachel and taking the back gate," Christopher replied, seeing a bunch of confused expressions seconds later. "Back Gate Road," he soon reiterated. "It's the back gate into Area 51. It's another popular tourist destination."
J.D nodded faintly before winding his window down. It was getting particularly hot with seven people in the car.
"What did you mean back there?" The Tenth Doctor asked. "That they know your truck?"
Christopher smiled a grim smile. "Like I said earlier, I drive tourists around the area and when it comes to the Camo Dudes it's practically a game of cat and mouse. They don't seem to mind me being in areas not normally visited by other people."
Katie looked mildly fascinated while Ed just scowled as he scanned his passing surroundings. As for Jaime, one of her senses that could detect Earthquakes were putting her on edge. And the fact that her danger senses were sky high didn't make it any easier either. Sensing another tremor she squeaked and ducked her head.
Sensing her discomfort, J.D looked over at his bond-mate. "Are you okay?" He asked. Jaime glanced over at the Half-Time Lord with a wince. "Too many Earthquakes, tha's all," She muttered a reply. "I'll be fine."
"Are you sure?" J.D checked and Jaime nodded her head.
Katie was looking at her with renewed fascination. "You can feel Earthquakes?" She asked.
"Sense them, aye," Jaime answered. "The tremors feel like I'm 'bout tae tip over. A fully fledged Earthquake feels like the sky is 'bout tae cave in on me and I can sense it minutes before it happens."
"Just like a dog!" Missy was heard to comment.
Jaime just rolled her eyes and decided to ignore the Time Lady.
"We are close to California and the San Andreas Fault," Ten weighed in, obviously listening in. "I presume there'll be lots of little tremors around that area."
Christopher nodded as he drove, even more surprised than ever. "More so than ever," he said. "Los Angeles had a big one last year. A 7.1."
J.D whistled in wonder. "Was there much damage?" He queried.
"Much of the quake was in a less populated area, so damage was at a minimum." Christopher answered him.
The car turned left on Back Gate Road and Jaime perked up, concentrating deeply despite the distractions. Ed sat up straight, glaring ahead at the road while Katie felt a hint of fear despite being excited. The drive down the road was long and tense and when they finally got to the gate, Christopher pulled over to the side of the road. Everyone in the car stared at the fenced off areas, the gate and the checkpoint in silence.
"What do you think?" Twelve broke the silence. "Any way around that fence?" He queried.
"You could always ram your way through the gate!" Missy was heard to casually suggest, which got an angry remark from Cena.
"Those guards in that hut are heavily armed with weapons. They try ramming the truck through that gate and they'll be Swiss Cheese within seconds." After that, they heard Missy make several childish noises.
"He's got a point," Twelve said. "Very bad idea to go storming through the front door. Or in this case the back door."
Letting out a shocked gasp, Christopher gawped at the Time Lord.
"We could try waiting for somebody to leave." Ten suggested.
But Christopher shook his head. "That won't work," he spoke. "I've sat here dozens of times and waited but they just idle until I leave." The mood in the car seemed to change. "And I wouldn't talk openly about trying to get inside. They have monitoring and listening equipment."
Jaime was about to correct their driver until Ed interrupted her. "There is a vehicle coming!" He told them in such a monotone way it surprised everyone in the car. He'd been so focused on the entrance he'd zoned everyone else's voices out.
Sure enough, when they looked past the gate they saw a Raptor moving towards them. The pickup truck stopped at the inner gate and to their surprise they watched one of the guards come out of the hut and lifted the gate up.
Christopher frowned, confused. "That's odd. They don't normally come out when I'm here." He said as the Raptor moved to the outer gate.
"Tha's 'cause I've hidden the car from view," Jaime told him as the gate lifted up on its own.
"Huh? What do you mean, hidden? Hidden how?" Their driver blustered.
"And I blocked any listenin' equipment from hearin' us." She added as the Raptor passed them by.
"How'd you do that?" A confused Christopher persisted.
"How about you follow the damn car!" Ed roared impatiently, scaring everyone but Jaime.
"Yes sir!" Christopher muttered, turned the car around and chased after the Raptor.
They had followed the Raptor into the mountains and now it sat, idling on the dirt road, as the occupants inside sat, waiting for possible trouble. A couple of feet behind them sat the currently invisible vehicle with its mix of occupants inside.
"So what do you plan to do?" Christopher asked, feeling a tad dumbfounded. He'd never been this close to the Camo Dudes before, ever! Sure, they've driven past him loads of times, but he'd never once sat this close. It was completely ridiculous!
"I'm goin' tae sneak in on 'em," Jaime replied. "And they're not goin' tae have time tae react."
Confusion washed off Christopher. "And how are you gonna manage to do that?" He asked.
Without a word, the Scots-girl disappeared in a flash.
"Like that!" J.D said as his Emulator beeped.
"Jesus!" Christopher blurted as he looked back at the rear passengers.
In the Camo Dude's truck the two men sat chatting while keeping an eye out for trouble. One of them saw something flicker in the side view mirror. "What the hell?" He uttered when he saw it was another truck. And so close.
His partner frowned at his reaction before looking at his own side view mirror. His eyes widened when he saw how close the truck was. "What? We should have seen that coming from a mile away," he said. "How did that even happen?"
"Well, it's easy when ye know how!" Spoke up a foreign sounding voice in the back, making them practically jump out of their skin.
One of the men looked in the rear view mirror as he scrambled for his gun and saw a figure dressed in black, the hood obscuring most of their face.
Quick as a flash, Jaime reached forward, grabbed both men and made them disappear. Shortly after that she short circuited any possible listening and monitoring equipment that might have been in the vehicle.
"What did you do to those men?" Alexia was heard to ask over the comms.
"Dinnae worry, ma, I didnae kill 'em," she spoke as she exited the vehicle. "I jus' sent 'em off somewhere safe." What she didn't add was that she had sent them ten days into the future and put them on a barely populated island in the middle of the Pacific. They'd hopefully find help and a way off the island.
She slammed the door shut, almost breaking it in the process, and turned to the other vehicle as its occupants exited the truck. "Job done, but we havnae got long." She said.
At first, Christopher goggled at Jaime's sudden change of clothes, then he hurried over to the Raptor, opened the front passenger door and peered inside the car. "Wow!" He breathed out in awe. It was kitted out pretty nicely. He was joined by Ed, who also inspected the inside of the car.
Twelve made a note of what Jaime was wearing. It was dark black fabric like spandex that clung to the body, yet it wasn't spandex at all. He knew what it was. "Are you wearing ChameleonWear?" He asked.
Jaime nodded. "Aye, we both are." She nodded as J.D joined her. "Right," Twelve frowned. "So why do you look like you've stepped out of a Marvel movie?"
"That's her Superhero outfit," OmniVerse Jenny said over the Comms. "The Black Bullet."
"Of course!" Twelve muttered sarcastically.
"It's a bit P.C isn't it?" Cena was heard to comment and Jaime scowled.
"Not really. It was Winston Churchill tha' first started callin' me tha', then Torchwood continued tae call me tha', so it jus' kinda stuck." She waited for a reply but there was silence on his end. Well, apart from mirthful laughter from Missy. She wondered what had gotten the Time Lady tickled.
"Missy, behave!" The Twelfth Doctor admonished.
"Can we cut the chatter and get this done already," Ed snapped at them. "C'mon, let's go!" He said to Jaime before going off to the driver's side of the pickup truck.
"Hold on!" Jaime called out and held her hand out, catching him in a telekinetic hold. "Ain't ye forgettin' a wee issue?" She asked the MI5 officer.
Ed just scowled angrily at the Scots-girl. He didn't appreciate being held in a telekinetic grip.
"She's got a point," Katie told him. "You made such a fuss that every airport in America knows what you look like. Everyone at Area 51 will likely know what you look like." She explained, hoping to get through to him. He just looked so goddamned angry.
Ed eventually sighed and took a deep calming breath. "Sorry." He muttered as Jaime put her hand down. "It's just that…Delta is so close, yet still so far away."
Jaime smiled grimly as the waves of sadness washed off him. "Tha's alright. We'll get her back for you." She told the MI5 officer and then her outfit suddenly changed into Khaki coloured camouflage. She looked over at J.D who's clothes had also turned into Khaki camo.
The Half-Time Lord looked down at what he now wore with a disdainful scowl. He didn't like it but it would have to do in order to sneak in to Area 51 to rescue a friend.
The Twelfth Doctor took out the audio/visual earpiece and handed it too J.D. "You'll need this." He said.
J.D muttered a thanks and gave it a good wipe before putting it in his ear. He winced when it adjusted, then he could immediately hear chatter from inside the TARDIS. "Right, are you ready?" He asked Jaime.
"Aye. I suppose you'll be doin' the drivin'?" She questioned. J.D nodded that he was. "Good, 'cause last time I tried tae drive I ended up damagin' several cars in Cardiff, was arrested by police and pepper sprayed."
There was an awkward silence after that.
Ten looked aghast while Alexia was heard to groan in disbelief over the Comms. "Oh no, don't tell me you have a Criminal Record!" She cried out.
"Och, no!" Jaime was quick to calm her mother. "The Doctor sorted it out."
Katie, Ed and Twelve looked at Ten, but he just shrugged his shoulders. "I don't have any memory of doing so. It'll most likely be a future me." He replied.
"What about you, John?" Alexia calmly asked, yet there was a hint of anger in her voice. "How could you let her drive without a license?"
J.D grimaced and looked at Jaime who had an apologetic expression on her face. "Well I couldn't really do anything," he muttered a reply. "After I got zapped by a Cornish Pixie wielding a wand." This brought on lots of confused noises.
"Look, as much as I'd like tae hang 'around, tellin' stories, we've got a rescue tae undertake." An impatient Jaime uttered.
The Tenth Doctor gave his daughter and brother good luck hugs and reluctantly let them go.
Katie watched as the Half-Time Lord couple approached the Raptor before deciding to speak up. "Wait!" I want to come with you!" She croaked out, joining the two Time Travellers.
With a scowl, Jaime turned towards the younger female, listening as Cena urged his daughter not to be stupid and it would be dangerous. "Really? Ye want tae come with us?" Jaime asked. "I'm not sure if it's escaped your notice, but you're a wee bit popular. Everybody knows who ye are and wha' ye look like."
Katie frowned, realising Jaime had a point, but Delta was a friend she'd known ever since the ginger debuted in 2011. "Okay, then I'll be the first Civilian to get into Area 51." The Boston native croaked, yet Jaime still didn't look all that happy. In fact she looked a tad angry.
"This isn't a game," J.D spoke up. "What we're going to do will be very dangerous and you might get hurt, or worse. And I doubt your father would be too pleased if that were to happen."
Jaime shivered at the thought of John Cena being angry.
But Katie narrowed her eyes at the Half-Time Lord before letting out a huffy chuckle. "Oh, come off it. I'm not some fair maiden. I'm a wrestler and I've wrestled against a lot of men. I'm strong and I can fend for myself."
J.D and Jaime glanced at each other before the Scots-girl let out an exasperated sigh. "I suppose ye could come along," she said. "As long as ye stay out of danger." She then turned to The Doctors. "Do any of ye still carry a TARDIS key perception filter?" Jaime asked them.
Ten shook his head, unsure, but checked his pockets anyway.
Twelve grinned knowingly. "I've got something better," he said, reaching into his pocket and pulling out an object. "I've got a Shimmer." He gave it to Katie and the OmniVerse Time Travellers watched in stunned amazement as she clipped it into the waistband of her trousers.
"Do you know how to use that?" The Tenth Doctor asked her.
"Of course. I've used one before," Katie replied. "But The Doctor forced me to leave it in my room on the TARDIS."
Now it was really time to go into rescue mode. The two Time Travellers and Wrestler clambered into the pick-up truck. Jaime sat in the passenger seat and J.D sat in the drivers seat, his many years of driving Bessie coming to Mind. Katie sat shotgun between them.
"Alons-y!" J.D muttered before starting up the vehicle.
As they left the mountains and drove back towards Back Gate Lane, Jaime checked all the cubby holes on the Dashboard. There were few things of interest. There was a pair of Binoculars, a book called Summer Falls, written by Amelia Williams, another book entitled as 'Adventures in a Blue Box', also written by Amelia Williams, a small D.A.B radio, an odd looking gadget and a firearm that looked for too futuristic for the 21st Century. She pocketed the futuristic firearm, the odd gadget and other bits that looked useful, then closed the compartment door on the Dashboard.
She had the odd feeling of being watched and from the corner of her eye she could see Katie staring at her. And it was getting a wee bit annoying. Jaime let out a sigh of frustration. "What?" She asked. "Why are ye starin' at me?" She asked the younger female.
Katie reacted to being acknowledged and smiled sheepishly. It's just so weird how similar you look to Kate," she replied. "Same hair colour, same complexion, same accent, same eye colour."
"Aye, Wha' of it?" The Scots-girl huffed out, keeping her eyes on what was considered a road.
"Because you used to look like me, but then regenerated to look like my dad's girlfriend."
J.D snorted laughter while Jaime gave him a dirty look. "Okay, fine. So I may have borrowed her shape out of respect. I saw her in Ed's Mind, how tough she was with her no none-sense attitude, and planted tha' suggestion in my younger self's Mind."
To Katie it sounded like one of those weird paradoxes that Delta kept encountering when they first started travelling with The Doctor.
"I'd like tae think I'd do her justice with all the crime fightin' I'll be doin' in the near future." Jaime concluded.
"Just like Kate." Cena commented over the Comms. It sounded like he was smiling.
Jaime just scowled.
"I guess that makes sense," Katie said, continuing to look at Jaime, reading what she saw. "But unlike Kate, you've seen and done a lot more, and not all of it good."
A chill ran through her and she stared at the younger female. "What?" She mumbled, dark eyes wide.
"Your eyes says it all," Katie replied. "You've seen so much, done so much. But there's also so much turmoil. Things you did that you never meant to do. Things you purposely did to cause harm…"
"Stop right there," the Scots-girl snapped and looked away, extremely annoyed that the tension was high. "I dinnae bloody need psycho-analysin', so keep yer wee opinions tae yerself!"
There was an awkward silence from inside the Raptor and from those watching from inside the DeltaVerse TARDIS. "Sorry," Katie eventually muttered. "Because of my ability to read emotions I trained to be a psychologist. I did most of my schoolwork on the road, between matches and days off."
J.D frowned as he drove. "You never went to school?" He asked.
Katie shook her head. "No, mom homeschooled me…or at least tried to. She wasn't in the best of mental health."
Jaime felt waves of sadness wash off her parallel self when she spoke about her mother. She couldn't imagine losing her own mother all over again.
"You know what's funny," Katie continued, looking at Jaime again with a grin. "My mom wanted to call me 'Jaime', but my Grandparents got their own way, so I was called Katie instead."
Both J.D and Jaime were stunned, amazed.
"Is that true?" They heard Alexia ask Cena over the Comms.
"Uhh, yeah," the West Newbury native stumbled over his words, probably stunned over a parallel version of a woman he'd cared about acknowledging him. "Yes. Sarah's parents were a nightmare to talk to," he answered.
"How well do you get on with your Grandparents?" J.D asked Katie.
A scowl appeared on Katie's face and Jaime felt a hint of anger wash off her. "Not very," the young wrestler answered. "They're strict and religious and they'd often disowned mom when they felt like it. When she died they never even bothered going to her funeral…" The Scots-girl felt shock and disgust wash off the Half-Time Lord. "…they're the main cause of my mom's mental health issues." She concluded while Jaime rubbed the younger female's back in comfort.
"I barely know my Grandparents," Jaime spoke up shortly after. "Despite 'em practically raisin' me up when my ma' couldnae." Those memories were fuzzy or completely non existent at the best of times. "I only get tae speak tae them over the phone 'cause they live in another universe."
"Wow!" Katie uttered, greeny-blue eyes wide. "That's extremely long distance."
Jaime grunted her acknowledgement.
With a frown, Katie turned to Jaime. "Why couldn't your mom look after you?" She queried.
But Jaime just shook her head, believing her mum's personal issues shouldn't be freely discussed. Though she soon scowled when she overheard Cena on the Comms ask a similar question to her mum.
"I'm an alcoholic," Alexia quite happily answered Cena's question. "Well, was. I've been dry for a long time now, but I still get tempted now and again." She sighed. "And when that happens I think of my daughter. I think of Jaime and how much she needs me. Then I'm not thinking about having a drink anymore."
With a happy smile, Jaime felt touched that she was what came to her mum's Mind if temptation came too much. And in turn she told Katie why her mum hadn't been much help in her first few years. "…and combined with the fact tha' I was born with Brittle Bone Disease didn't seem to make matters any easier." Jaime finished, noticing a stunned expression on Katie's face.
"For someone with such a debilitating condition you looked well." The Twelfth Doctor spoke up, remembering that time they'd bumped into each other on the OmniVerse Planet Fiction. They'd meant to go to their own universe's Planet Fiction but ended up on the wrong version. He, the Tenth Doctor, Ed and Christopher had entered the DeltaVerse TARDIS five minutes earlier.
"Aye, well tha's a long story." Jaime muttered.
Seconds later Cena was heard to let out a chuckle of humour. "What's funny?" Rose asked, sounding defensive.
"It's the difference in parallels," Cena explained. "Yet the issues stay the same. Sarah suffered with her mental health and you have your problems with alcohol. It's like the universe is determined not to let you have a happy life." He pointed out to Alexia.
The Scots-girl raised her brows. "Tha's nowt, it seems the universe is doin' the same thing wi' me. I once met another version of me tha' had combined Autism/Aspergers. Now she's livin' on Gallifrey after sacrificin' herself." Rose had told her the story of what had happened to Jaime after she and J.D had left her universe.
Becoming worried about herself, Katie opened her mouth to say something. That was until the Raptor turned on Back Gate Lane.
"Okay, this is it!" J.D uttered nervously. The young wrestler reached down and turned her Shimmer on.
