So, this was definitely not one of Morgan's brighter ideas. It was dark, very dark, but since it was the city, somehow it wasn't dark enough for her to see the stars. Because of course, it wasn't. The cold crept in along Morgan's spine and she shivered. She forgot to bring a coat again, didn't she? Sighing, she sneaked closer to where Danny was also sneaking. Morgan crouched and watched as Danny stared confused at the weird gadgets the Doctor had put up everywhere.
She took a step closer into the school, creeping up slowly. Ok, so, this was where her little plan got dangerous. And deadly. Maybe Morgan really was in over her head. Would she really be able to deal with murderous alien robots? Morgan stumbled over something, having not been paying much attention. She swore under her breath as she righted herself. Danny was now alert and calling. Great, now she had to explain herself. She had prepared something for this, but she had really not wanted it to come to this.
"Someone there?" Danny called, his muscles tense as he searched his surroundings carefully. Morgan let out a sigh and revealed herself, waving awkwardly.
"Hi, Mister Pink'' Morgan tried, a forced smile on her face. She cringed a little as his eyes widened in surprise.
"Morgan! What the hell!" Danny almost shrieked, although he said it in a whispered tone. "What are you doing here?" Danny hissed again, pulling Morgan closer to him so that they could hide better.
"I'm out with friends!" Morgan explained, smirking a bit. Danny sighed.
"Which friends Morgan?" Danny asked and Morgan scowled. Really! Morgan had friends- how dare he insinuate- Calm. She needed to be calm. She couldn't have a repeat of what had happened earlier that day. Morgan winced a little at the thought.
"Well you of course," Morgan shot him a mischievous grin and he sighed, massaging his temples.
"Really Morgan?" Danny said. Morgan scoffed in mock offence.
"Are you saying that we aren't friends!" Morgan gasped and Danny shot her an unamused look.
"How did you even find me?" Danny hissed again, lowering his voice as they crept further through the hallways.
"My alien telepathy powers of course," Morgan said offhandedly but then winced again. That hit a bit too close to home. A flood of images of her mom threatened to spill but Morgan stopped them just in time. She needed to focus. Danny shot her an unimpressed look. Danny paused as he noticed the blinking gadget and reached to touch it.
"Maybe you shouldn't touch that," Morgan cut in, reaching out to stop his hand. Danny waved it away and continued being an idiot. Honestly, when was touching something foreign ever a good idea?
"I know what I'm doing, Morgan," Danny told her condescendingly and Morgan bit her lip. No, actually he had no clue what he was dealing with, that much was obvious. Morgan on the other hand actually did know what was going on.
"No you don't, otherwise you wouldn't be sneaking here in the middle of the night because you thought the caretaker was suspicious." Morgan bit back and Danny jst glared at her. Morgan returned it right back.
"Morgan, you know it's at times like these that I would just wish that you would shut up," Danny said and Morgan scowled again at that, crossing her eyebrows. Really? So he was using that as an excuse not to listen to perfectly sound advice! Fine, if he wanted to do something stupid, that was on him. Nobody was going to get hurt in the end by this, so it probably didn't make much of a difference. That didn't mean it wasn't still annoying though. Biting back her response, Morgan sat in silence as he removed the device and it started blinking red.
It was another few hallways before they arrived at the storeroom again. Morgan stopped and Danny paused. He took a breath in before knocking on the door. Morgan held her breath, even though a little voice at the back of her mind told her that no one was going to reply. But still, the tension caused her to stiffen in anticipation. Danny paused, as he noticed another one of the devices in the hanging basket. He reached out, and took it, this time the light blinking red, to begin with. Morgan had to bite her tongue to hold in her angry retort. No! Don't take another one stupid! They were obviously not to be tampered with for crying out loud!
A sudden noise shocked them both out of their stupor. Mrgan jumped up, turning her head in the direction of the noise, scrunching her nose in concentration. Danny grabbed her hand and began to speed walk towards the noise, ending up right outside the school hall. Morgan sucked in a breath. This was it. Where everything was about to get much more complicated.
"Hello?" Danny called out towards the school hall. Maybe not the best course of action at that moment. They finally went into the hall and Morgan's eyes widened as the weird robot thing (Skovox blisomething).
"What? Red? Red. No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no!" The Doctor's panicked cries made Morgan wince and she sprinted across trying to get to somewhere a little safer. Danny's eyes widened as Morganskirted across to where the Doctor was, mouthing her name to come back. The Skovox... Blitzer! That was its name! The Skovox Blitzer can in at that point, whirling turning and flashing.
"Range one point four nine scan complete problem problem." its robotic voice called.
"Listen. I'm unarmed. I'm peaceful. Don't you understand? I, I know that you shouldn't be on this planet but I can help you with that. I-" the Doctor was cut off and Morgan winced a little as it started yelling louder in its robotic voice.
"Problem solution destroy." it screeched, turning to face Danny.
"I want a word with you," Danny called pointing to the Doctor. Morgan winced as his glare landed on her. Ok double meaning, apparently she was included in this.
"Get back!" the Doctor called and the Blitzer turned again to face the Doctor. Wait. That wasn't supposed to happen! Had Morgan changed something? OR was the- The Blitzer suddenly fired a shot directly towards the Doctor. Morgan's eyes widened and in a split second, without thinking she had shoved the Doctor to the ground. Morgan blinked a little disoriented, the Doctor frowning as he quickly regained his posture. Morgan stumbled back up groggily.
The Blitzer suddenly whirled around to Danny again, pointing its gun at him. It started shooting and Danny ducked, throwing himself to the floor, dropping the gadgets he had picked up earlier. Suddenly the circle of the devices turned green, indicating that it was back to normal. Morgan let out a sigh of relief at that. She turned her attention quickly back to Danny as he took a chair and poised it to attack.
There were a few more panicked cries from Danny before the Doctor got to work. He whipped out his sonic, and activated it, creating a glowing vortex. The Blitzer started getting sucked towards its, although, to Morgan's dismay, so did Danny. Was that supposed to happen? Morgan couldn't' remember and she wanted to slap herself for not being able to remember the right stuff when it was actually important.
"Temporal disrupt. Warning warning. Temporal failure." the robotic voice called out again and Morgan turned her panicked gaze back to Danny. At that moment, Clara came running in, grabbing Danny and pulling him away in one fell swoop. Morgan let out a breath of relief, her heartbeat relaxing somewhat.
"No! No, no, no, no! Doctor, stop! Doctor!" Clara's shrill cry broke through the robotic droning and Morgan covered her ears a bit as the noise cut through.
"Warning system failure. Abort. Abort." and then there was a bright flash. Morgan shielded her eyes and peeked through as the Blitzer was sucked away and the vortex disappeared.
"Oh, oh, well done, PE, brilliant work." the Doctor said with his sarcasm but its Scottish ™ voice. "What's this? A chronodyne generator? I'll just deactivate that, shall I? I've got a swimming certificate so that qualifies me to meddle with higher technology." Morgan winced a little at that, it wasn't a lie, Danny had done something stupid, but the doctor was being a bit harsh. She was one to talk... "Never mind that some people are actually trying to save the planet. Oh, no. There's only room in my head for cross-country and the offside rule." Morgan crossed her arms at that. Ok, Danny had been an idiot, but it was wrong of the Doctor to belittle him like that.
"Danny, what are you doing here?" Clara asked, turning to face Danny.
"I was checking up on him." Danny replied, "He's been up to something, fiddling with the electric," he continued, "but what the?" Danny's voice got a little lower as he broke down. "No. What- Did you see that thing? Tell me you saw that thing." Morgan froze, everything finally hitting her. Alien, murder. Robot. She had almost died, the adrenaline was wearing off and everything came crashing down, threatening to spill through. Morgan shakily stood taller, trying to convince herself that she was fine. Morgan was fine. Morgan was not fine.
"I saw the thing, yeah. Doctor, are we safe? Is the planet safe? It's gone?" Clara called again from beside Danny across the room. Morgan stood frozen, her feet glued to the ground where she stood, continuously repeating the words over and over again in her head. She was fine. She was fine. She was fine.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, for the moment." the Doctor's voice interrupted her thoughts abruptly. "But the thing is, you see, the chronodyne generators have to be precisely aligned to generate the vortex. But the sergeant here, he went and moved one." Ok, Morgan was pretty sure that Danny got the picture here. The Doctor had hammered home his point enough.
"But the chronodyne worked. It's gone."Clara's voice turned shrill as she tried to explain away the danger. Sometimes it worked, unfortunately, a lot of the time, explaining it away did nothing. Morgan knew that from experience. Morgan's panicked breathing resurfaced at that moment but Morgan shut it off. She needed to distract herself. Think of something else. Chronodyne! That was a fun word to say, right? Chronodyne. Chro-no-dyne. chro-
"But not far enough." the Doctor scanned it with his sonic screwdriver. "The vortex will open here again, but not in a billion years." Yeah, more like tomorrow. Morgan gulped, the thought of the Blitzer returning making her gut clench. She needed to think about something else... Like the Doctor! The Doctor, real and standing right over there!
"Then when?" Clara questioned and Morgan's mind helpfully answered too soon.
"Er, seventy-four hours." the Doctor started, "Three days?" he reiterated, " Three days to think of something new because now it knows what to expect. Now it has scanned me and it will kill me on sight, thanks to PE here." the Doctor spat, gesturing to Danny.
"Clara, why are you talking to him like that? Why are you using words like chronodyne?" Morgan winced a little at that. "Was that thing a space thing? Oh. Oh, my God, you're from space." not really but it was a solid effort from Danny there, "You're a spacewoman. You said you were from Blackpool." Technically, even if Clara was a spacewoman, she could still be from Blackpool. Not all aliens were born off-world.
Morgan paused her thoughts for a moment, noticing that the doctor had started writing in a notebook. She slowly made her way closer to him, trying to stay as inconspicuous as possible, trying to see what he was writing. Morgan's attempt was brutally interrupted by her being yanked sideways by a strong hand. Morgan looked up wide-eyed, tearing her arm out of Danny's grasp and whirling around to face him.
"Morgan get away from him, he's a space thing-" Danny pulled her behind him and Morgan sighed. Now would probably not be a good time to mention that she was a space thing too. Or half-space thing. Morgan winced. She did not look forward to that day.
"It's a play!" Clara suddenly exclaimed. Morgan resisted the urge to groan at the terrible lie. "For the summer fete." Clara continued, looking down for a moment, obviously making it up on the spot.
"It's a what?" the Doctor cried offended from the corner where he was sitting.
"Yes, it's a play. Shut up, it is a play. We are rehearsing a play. Shh, shh, shh, shh. A surprise play. And, er, you see, the vortex thing is, is a lighting effect." did Clara seriously think that they had no brains at all? Maybe they would have actually believed her if she had any acting ability at all! Which made the fact that this was supposedly a play even less unlikely since Clara seemed to have no acting ability whatsoever. "Very clever. And that thing is, is one of the kids. In fancy dress. Really, really good fancy dress."
"How stupid do you think I am?" Danny cried, Morgan nodded and was about to step in before the Doctor gave his sarcastic remark.
"I'm willing to put a number on it." the Doctor said offhandedly. Morgan shot him a glare but the Doctor didn't seem to notice. Ok, enough was enough, Morgan marched up to stand beside Danny.
"Ok, this is enough Everyone shut up for one second!" Morgan cried, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. Everyone thankfully stopped talking. For a grand total of one second. "Why don't we actually listen to what everyone has to say instead of jumping to co-" Morgan bristled as Danny cut her off suddenly. She glared straight at Danny. Maybe if she glared at him enough he would actually listen and shut up and let her speak.
"I'm not a moron, Clara. And he's not the caretaker. He's your dad. Your space dad." Danny finished, looking close to tears. Morgan gave a loud exasperated sigh groaning in frustration
"Oh, genius. That is, that is really, really brilliant reasoning. How can you think that I'm her dad when we both look exactly the same age?" the Doctor exclaimed and Morgan just shot him an incredulous look. She knew this was coming, but this was ridiculous.
"We do not look the same age." Clara cried, her voice shrill.
"I was being kind. Right, I'm going to hypnotize him. I'm going to erase his memory. " The Doctor said, then paused for a second before adding, "And then we'll figure out what to do with this one" he gestured toMorgan and she crossed her arms giving him an unimpressed glare. Relly Doctor? 'This one'? What was she, an object!
"Doctor, stop!" Clara cried, grabbing her head in frustration. Morgan took a tiny step back. He didn't do it in the show, but now that she was here, things could change. It was always good to be a little careful anyway.
"Tiny little brain, only take a moment." the Doctor said and Morgan turned her rage on him. Tiny little- Oh she would show hi-
"He's my boyfriend." Clara cried out. Morgan winced.
"Well, I'll try not to erase the whole thing. I'll leave the bits that-" the doctor really did not have any social skills. No social skills whatsoever.
"He's my boyfriend. I thought you'd figured this out." Clara cried out again
"Him?" the Doctor said incredulously, "Then who's she then, your daughter?" Morgan jumped a little, surprised at being mentioned.
"Yes, him." Clara cried out again, she paused adding in "And no, that's just Morgan" Oh yes, just Morgan. No need to pay attention to her. She was just some stupid 14 year old without a brain.
"No, he's not." the Doctor argued back. Morgan took a few steps away, getting progressively away from the idiotic argument.
"Yes, he is." Clara rebutted.
"Yes, I am," Danny confirmed, bristling at the Doctor denying the fact.
"But he's a PE teacher." No, he was a MATHS teacher! God, when Morgan got near that chair she was going to throw it at the Doctor! "You wouldn't go out with a PE teacher. It's a mistake." So? Even if it was a mistake it wasn't the Doctor's decision to make. It was Clara's life, Clara's decision. "You've made a boyfriend error." Ok. that was enough. He had crossed the line and there was no going back now.
"You're wrong." Morgan started, stalking towards the group, arms crossed from the draft. She really should have brought a coat, "And even if you were right, it isn't your decision to make, Doctor," she spat his name out, just to make it very clear how she felt about all of this, "It's Clara's. She is a grown adult and can make her own decisions. It's her life, not yours." Morgan finished, now only about a meter away from each respectively. There was a beat of silence. Clara shot her a grateful smile, relaxing her tense muscles a bit. Morgan gave her a small smile at that.
"Yeah," Danny was the first to speak and all of their eyes shot to him as he did, "And also, I am not a PE teacher. I am a maths teacher." Danny held himself taller and Morgan gave a smile at that. He may have made some choices that he regretted earlier in his life, but his past mistakes didn't define who he was now. His actions in the present defined that. And in Morgan's humble opinion, he was a pretty damn good math teacher.
"You're a soldier." the Doctor dismissed, he turned to face Clara. "Why would you go out with a soldier? Why not get a dog or a big plant?
"Because I love him!" burst out suddenly. Everything fell silent. And the Doctor, well his expression melted for a moment behind his facade to show something else for a split second. Was it hurt? Disbelief?
"Why would you say that? Is this part of the surprise play?" the Doctor said as if maybe Clara had made a mistake in her words.
"There is no surprise play." Clara sighed, and the atmosphere shifted. Morgan couldn't exactly place it, but everyone seemed to have started processing everything.
"Oh, it's a roller coaster with you tonight, isn't it? What about the handsome one, the one with the bow tie?" the Doctor added masking his almost slip up with his usual angry facade. The Doctor sill missed his past regeneration, didn't he? Morgan's heart clenched a little.
"Who? Adrian? No, no, no. He's just a friend and not my type." Clara added at the end, trying to make it clear that she did not like Adrian. So that was his name. Morgans stored that information for later.
"Clara, are you going to explain any of this?" Danny burst out "Who is this guy?" Clara paused for a moment, looking between the two of them.
"The Doctor is-" Clara paused and both Danny and the Doctor raised their eyebrows at her. Morgan felt kind of bad for Clara, being put in between the two. One angry idiot and one scared and confused idiot. Maybe not the best combo.
"Go on." the Doctor urged on, and Clara cleared her throat.
"Yes, explain. Who is he? Why have you never mentioned him?" Danny asked.
Because!" Clara started, trailing off "he's an alien." Morgan sucked in a breath, then realized she was supposed to act surprised at this new information. She shot the Doctor a raised eyebrow as if she were slightly skeptical of this information.
"Er, are you an alien?" Danny asked, and Clara shook her head and laughed a little.
"No, no, no, I'm still from Blackpool. Me and the Doctor, we travel through time and space." Clara explained and Morgan couldn't' help but speak.
"Space AND time?" Morgan asked and Clara paused a bit at Morgan's remake, "Does that mean you can go back in time and meet Einstein? Or Marie Curie? Or go to an alien beach?" Morgan piped up, reciting her list of places she wanted to go. The Doctor raised an amused eyebrow at her as he sauntered off towards the TARDIS.
"An alien beach?" the Doctor asked and Morgan nodded. He raised another one of his attack eyebrows. But his expression had softened already, becoming less angry and more 'I'm about to show off my TARDIs and they are going to say that it's bigger on the inside!'. Morgan smiled at that thought as the Doctor pulled the curtain away to reveal that magical blue box.
"Exhibit A." the Doctor proclaimed, making a big gesture of showing off the TARDIS.
"It's called a Tardis, but it's disguised as an old police phone box," Clara explained and Morgan smiled, walking right up to the blue box herself. She smiled and reached her hand out to touch her but hesitated. The Doctor gave her a cautious look as she neared his TARDIS but Morgan paid it no attention.
She reached out again this time laying her hand on the TARDIS' wooden surface. The surface was smooth and there was a warm hum emanating from her. Morgan smiled warmly at the TARDIs. Hello. She thought and a warm tingling filled her mind. Morgan relaxed into its warm embrace, running her hands across the smooth surface. A warm tingle went up her spine as Clara continued to explain the TARDis to Danny, but Morgan was too distracted to listen. My name's Morgan. Morgan introduced herself, and another wave of warmth went through her mind. Morgan smiled at that, not quite making out words, but imagining it to be somewhere along the lines of ' My name is Sexy'.
Morgan froze as a hand touched her shoulder, nudging her gently to the side a bit. The Doctor then threw open the doors of the TARDIS, stepping back as Danny walked forward cautiously.
"Voila." the Doctor proclaimed, Morgan stared wide-eyed at the expanse within. It was hard to describe, exactly like the show yet somehow more. The columns were there, the low lighting, the bookshelves (that Morgan was definitely NOT planning on raiding later) She was humming, it was emanating from the whole TARDIS, even stronger now that the door was now open. It was almost overwhelming, except the warmth was so comforting that it was impossible to even feel that way. Morgan thanked the TARDIS for that again in her head.
"And we travel the universe in it," Clara added. Morgan continued to stare in wonder at the TARDIS, a large grin sneaking its way onto her face. She took a tentative step forward, then another, standing in the doorway of the TARDIS, running her hands along the inside. Danny leaned in at that moment, shooting a worried glance at Morgan who was now standing fully in the entranceway of the TARDIS.
"It's bigger on the inside," Morgan whispered from where she was standing inside. She paused, looking back to find the Doctor watching her from outside with an amused smile. Danny grabbed her shoulder, trying to pull her away but Morgan shrugged it off.
"And what about that thing? Did you bring that here?" Danny asked, his voice returning to a more panicked state. Morgan glanced his way, stiffening at the mention of the Blitzer.
"No. I'm going to protect you from that thing." the Doctor declared, stepping in and slowly peeling Morgan away from the inside of the TARDIS. Morgan followed him, a pit of slight disappointment laying in her stomach.
"You said it was coming back." Danny challenged and Morgan winced a little, coming back to her senses.
"Yes, it is coming back, thanks to you." the Doctor said emphasizing the 'you' bit. Morgan stopped away towards Danny giving him a comforting squeeze. He shot her a grateful smile. His smile turned worried and he turned his gaze back to the Doctor.
"This is a school." Danny said, "there are students here that could get hurt" everyone glanced at Morgan at that point making her flinch, "We have to evacuate, call the Army." he spoke hurriedly and Morgan raised an eyebrow at his statement.
"I'm not sure that's the best-" Morgan started but the Doctor quickly cut Morgan off.
"And that is the most dangerous thing right there." the Doctor marched past Morgan and closed the TARDIS doors.
"Are you sure hypnotizing's not on the menu?" the Doctor asked and Morgan whirled around to face him. Even though she knew he wasn't going to do t, a tiny part of her still worried. What if, after all, of this, she just forgot. And she'd continue going on following Clara, being none the wiser that she had had the opportunity already- What if that had already happened? And Morgan wouldn't even remember-
"Yes." Clara breathed quickly and Morgan nodded her head adamantly in agreement with Clara. She took a subconscious step away from the Doctor.
"But we need to get help." Danny cried, "This is an emergency." he reiterated. He did have a point honestly and if Morgan didn't know what she did she might have even agreed with him.
"Look, take him away. Shut him up, shut him down. Up or down, it doesn't matter to me. I've got a lot of work to do." the Doctor said, "Again." he spat emphasizing the word. Morgan winced. She should have done more to stop Danny from touching the gadgets. Or chronodyne thingys. She should have done more than just stand there and argue and act as if she was better than the other three. Because the truth was, she wasn't.
"Will you be okay?" Clara asked, the worry leaking into her tone. I'm always ok. Is ok timelord talk for really not ok at all, because then I'm ok too. Morgan gave a sad smile as the memory of Donna resurfaced. Of the forest of the Dead. The one where River died. Her mind added helpfully.
"Why wouldn't I be okay?" the Doctor said quickly. "I was fine till you three blundered in." the Doctor emphasized the word fine and gave each of them a glare.
"Am I just being ignored?" Danny complained and Morgan sighed.
"Welcome to the club. We watch BAck to the Future every-" Morgan paused as Clara began to lead Danny away. Ignoring Morgan. Again.
"Come on, Danny. It's all right, it's. Come on, it's all fine."Clara whispered, continuing to comfort Danny as they went down the stairs of the stage towards the exit.
"That's ok," Morgan muttered, "Yeah, just keep on ignoring me, I'll be fine over here" Morgan continued, she raised her voice a bit so that they could better hear her, "I'll be sleeping over at a friend's house tonight Danny!" Morgan called down and Danny nodded, evidently still dazed. The Doctor walked down the stairs to go talk to Clara and Morgan followed, hugging herself as another draft went through the building. They really needed better heating in that school. Well, to be fair it was really old.
"And when this is all over, you can finish the job." the Doctor called as he went down the stairs. Clara turned around.
"How do you mean?" Clara asked while Morgan was standing awkwardly behind the Doctor as he stood on the stairs facing Clara.
"Well, you've explained me to him, you haven't explained him to me." the Doctor finished and Clara looked back one last time with a pained expression as she began to lead Danny off. There were a few beats of silence before Morgan cleared her throat. The Doctor turned, slightly startled.
"Oh, you're still there," the Doctor remarked, and Morgan crossed her arms. Although it was less out of anger now and more out of the cold. She really should have bought a coat. "I thought you would've gone away with your what's he, your dad?" the Doctor asked and Morgan shook her head.
"He's my dad's friend," she corrected quickly, "And uh, I have to go, so could you please get out of my way?" Morgan said gesturing at where he was still standing on the stairs.
"Oh yeah," the Doctor said and quickly went down the stairs. Morgan climbed down herself and started towards the door before being interrupted by the Doctor's voice.
"You not bringing anything to your friend's house," he called from behind her. Morgan turned around to face him and gave him a mischievous smile. But it quickly fell more into a sad smile but she fixed her face, hoping to mask it. "For your sleepover" he called again walking closer until he was beside her.
"I'm not going to my friend's house," Morgan admitted. She took out her phone, opening her texts. Nothing from her father, he'd probably already gone to sleep. She sighed, "I'm walking home. Why don't you go," she waved her hand around gesturing to the TARDIS, "Do whatever alien-y stuff you're supposed to do to make sure no one else gets hurt." Morgan finished making her way to the door. The Doctor continued to follow her.
"Won't your parents be worried?" he asked and Morgan shrugged.
"My dad's probably already asleep by now, he had a long day at work," she paused, "I'll be fine anyway" She started down the hallway, the Doctor still following. Morgan sped up a little. Her lids were drooping and she had to hold in a yawn. The faster she walked the faster she'd get into her bed. Also, maybe the Doctor's stop following her and get back to what he was supposed to be doing then.
"You aren't wearing a coat," the Doctor remarked, Morgan raised an eyebrow at that comment. Yeah, no kidding. "Did you bring a coat?" the Doctor asked again and Morgan shot him a glare. No, obviously not!
"No, otherwise I'd be wearing it!" Morgan pointed out and the Doctor's face dropped in an 'o'.
"Why didn't you bring a coat, what if you freeze to death or something!" The Doctor complained and Morgan sighed. He'd said almost the exact same thing a few days ago hadn't he? "And then if you die, then I would never hear the end of it from Clara," the Doctor continued. Really, that was his reasoning? He had a strange way of getting to his point, didn't he? They would have to start the classes on how to properly interact with humans earlier than she'd planned.
"So you don't want me to freeze to death, because Clara'd get angry at you?" Morgan clarified and Doctor paused and sputtered incoherently for a bit.
"Wel no, that's not what-" he paused searching his coat pocket for a second, his arm disappearing into it. So, bigger on the inside? Morgan leaned closer trying to see how big exactly the pockets were but the Doctor swatted her away.
"How'd you fit a coat in there," Morgan decided to ask to pass the time, the Doctor glanced at her as he continued searching.
The Doctor smiled "They're bigger on the inside," Morgan grinned at that comment.
"Of course they are," Morgan said, rolling her eyes at that glancing at the time on her phone. Her eyes widened. It was getting late, she should probably be heading home soon.
"There we go!" the Doctor exclaimed, "Here, you can keep it," he grinned and Morgan's eyes widened again, probably almost as wide as Clara's. It was beige and warm-looking. But that wasn't the main issue. The main issue was, well-
"That's my coat..." Morgan trailed off, furrowing her eyebrows. That was definitely her coat, she had worn that a few weeks ago. Strange. The Doctor frowned, taking the coat from her quickly and sonicing it. He frowned harder as he examined the results. "What's wrong," Mrgan asked, trying to peer over his shoulder. The Doctor quickly put his screwdriver away handing the coat back to Morgan.
"Nothing!" the Doctor exclaimed. Morgan shot him a skeptical look. Ok, so something was wrong, but that wasn't really that important right now. Never ignore a coincidence. Unless you're busy, then always ignore a coincidence. "Sooo..." the Doctor continued pacing around.
"Sooo?" Morgan echoed starting back towards the door.
"One more thing before you go," the Doctor said, "give me your phone, I need to do a thing" Morgan paused, taking out her phone, then reconsidered for a moment. What thing? Was he giving her universal roaming? Want it a little early for that? Or was he just going to delete everything off her phone?
"What thing?" Morgan questioned, holding her phone a safe distance away from the Doctor.
"Just give me your phone, I promise I won't go snooping," he joked and Morgan deflated, handing it over to him. He took out his sonic again and started doing something. Morgan couldn't really tell from her vantage point.
Morgan frowned "What are you doing?" She tried to lean over to see again but the Doctor just put his screwdriver away and gave her phone back.
"Just added something to your phone in case you get into any trouble while you walk home. Just press the button and it should notify me, but only for emergencies!" the Doctor clarified at the end, "Also, you may find a few things are missing... sorry" he finished and Morgan narrowed her eyes. Of course. What was it with the Doctor and accidentally deleting things. She deflated a bit though. He was making sure she didn't die on her way home, she commended him at least for that.
"Thank you," Morgan said, giving him a small smile.
He nodded. "Yeah yeah, now go on and do whatever it is you students do these days," Morgan put on the coat and walked out the doors, disappearing into the distance. Tomorrow. Tomorrow everything would fall into place.
