Vivian II
Vivian pinched her nose in annoyance as The Doctor lept into the time fissure and then sighed. It seemed like the reports of his impulsiveness weren't exaggerated. The other side of the time fissure could be anywhere, on the ground, in the air, in the water… in a war zone. He had no idea what was on the other side and the idiot jumped through it.
The time fissure fizzled out and dissipated, leaving behind awkward silence. Vivian cleared her throat and sighed, "So the reports of The Doctors… impulsiveness weren't exaggerated." Vivian muttered.
Clara's head snapped to the right to stare at Vivian, "Reports?"
Vivian turned and looked at Clara, "Yes, reports. Everyone working at High Command, from The General down to the janitors, had to sit in seminars about every credible threat possible. The Doctor was included."
"Vivan, if you don't mind me asking," Vivian turned to Kate, who had stepped forward a bit, "why do the Time Lords consider The Doctor a threat?"
Vivian laughed coldly, "Why do we?" Kate nodded and Clara seemed eager for an answer as well, "For his blatant disregard for The Laws of Time. Time is a tricky subject to understand and more so to master. We have rules, regulations and limit access to the powers of time travel to only those who have gone through courses and proper training. We have, er, had a whole department of our Council dedicated to protecting Time. That's the Time Lord's main job. To preserve the correct timeline and to stop people who would create tear in time. To observe and preserve only and interfere only when it is deemed necessary."
"The Doctor ignores The Laws of Time and interferes on a whim, creating multiple tears in our reality that we were in the process of fixing when… well, you know. Now that the Time Lords have stopped fixing breaches and tears, well, I'm afraid I have no idea what might happen this reality."
"What do you mean, 'more than one reality'. Are there multiple realities?" Clara asked, her eyes wide as she took in all this new information.
Vivian snorted, "Of course, more than you can possibly imagine. But understanding them and how they interact with all the realities is something that not even the Time Lords have mastered. Don't get your hopes up."
Clara looked a bit put out by this and started to open her mouth to argue, probably about how humans can understand more than Time Lords think they can, yeah right' Vivian thought, when the time fissure appeared closer to where Vivian and Clara were standing. Vivian pulled Clara back in time but the time fissure opened too close to her and she fell in.
Vivian saw bright white light that changed shapes every second she looked at them. Triangles, squares, circles, triangles… The light seemed to spin as it changed until Vivian closed her eyes from the effect and she hit the ground with a loud and painful thud. She would probably have some bruises in a couple of hours. Thank Rassilon for quick healing capabilities.
She opened her eyes to find The Doctor and another thin man in a brown striped jacket and pants stared down at her. She looked around and saw that she was in a forest and two other identical looking women also staring at her. Vivian rubbed her temple and grumbled, "Oh I hate time travel without a capsule." The thin man offered a hand but she swiped it away and got up herself, dusting off her pants from dirt.
"Doctor,-?"
Vivian asked when both The Doctor and the thin man responded, "Yes?"
Vivian sighed and hit the palm of her hand to her forehead, "Please don't tell me you both are The Doctor."
"I can not do that." The thin man said.
"You both know the dangers of two versions of the same person being in the same time as the other, right?" Vivian asked angrily.
"Yep." They both responded, popping the 'p'.
"Son of a Dalek." Vivian cursed and saw the thin man raise an eyebrow at that. "This is going to be a bit complicated. What regeneration cycle are you in," Vivian pointed to the thin man. "Because calling you both Doctor is going to become a bit tedious."
"How do you know about regeneration cycles?" The thin man asked.
The Doctor responded, "She's-"
"Doctor, bad idea." Vivian quickly interrupted.
The Doctor's eyes widened a bit, "Ah, so spoilers. Well, he's regeneration number ten and I'm eleven."
Vivian's eyes widened for a split second. She didn't know he was that old. "Okay, the Doctor that I met first will be called Doctor. You will be called Ten."
The Doctor clapped his hands, "Well, now that we've got that settled," The Doctor turned to the two shocked women, "Your Majesties. Probably a good time to run."
"Your Majesties?" Vivian asked. She eyed the woman closely and held back a groan as she recognized Queen Elizabeth the First of England. Of course. Vivian thought. She had also heard the reports on The Doctor's many wives, human or otherwise.
"But what about the creature?" Both Elizabeth's replied at the same time.
"Elizabeth, whichever one of you is the real one, turn and run in the opposite direction to the other one." Ten said.
"Of course, my love." Both Elizabeth's replied at the same time.
The first Elizabeth hiked up her dress, ran over to Ten, "Stay alive, my love. I am not done with you yet." She kissed Ten and left running.
"Thanks. Lovely." Ten said, a bit flustered.
The second Elizabeth walked up to Ten and said, "I understand. Live for me, my darling. We shall be together again." Elizabeth kissed Ten and ran.
"Well, won't that be nice?" Ten got out.
The Doctor looked over at ten with a huge smirk across his face, "One of those was a Zygon."
"Yeah."
"Big red rubbery thing covered in suckers."
"Yeah."
"Venom sacs in the tongue."
"Yeah, I'm getting the point, thank you."
"Nice." The Doctor said, laughing a bit.
"Doctor, is that you?" Vivian heard Clara's voice from the time fissure.
"Okay, Zygons?" Vivian asked sharply.
"Vivian?" Clara asked.
"Ah, hello, Clara. Can you hear me?" The Doctor asked.
"Yeah, it's me." Clara's voice sounded through the time fissure, "We can hear you. Where are you?"
"Where are we?" The Doctor asked Ten.
"England, 1562." Ten replied.
"Who are you talking to?" Clara asked.
"Myself." Both Doctors answered, looked at each other and glared at each other.
Next Vivian heard Kate asked, "Can you come back through?"
"Physical passage may not be possible in both directions. Its. Ah! Hang on. Fez incoming!" The Doctor took the fez off his head and threw it into the time fissure.
"Nothing here." Clara reported.
Vivian frowned, "So where did it go?"
Ten turned to The Doctor, "Okay, you used to be me, you've done all this before. What happens next?"
The Doctor frowned, "I don't remember."
"How can you forget this?" Ten asked, waving his hands around him.
"Hey, hang on. It's not my fault. You're obviously not paying enough attention. Reverse the polarity!" They both aim their sonic screwdrivers at the fissure.
"It's not working." The Doctor commented.
"Your both reversing the polarity." Vivian commented. She had moved to a tree and had leaned up against it, watching the both of them argue.
"We're both reversing the polarity." Ten said as if they hadn't heard her. They probably didn't.
The Doctor dropped his arm in exasperation, "Yes, I know that."
"There's two of us. I'm reversing it, you're reversing it back again. We're confusing the polarity." A man drops through the time fissure.
Vivian recognizes the man and stands fully up, tense. "Oh Rassilon." She breathed
"Anyone lose a fez?" The elderly man asks, holding a fez in his right hand.
Apparently Vivian wasn't the only one who was tense, both Doctor's froze and tensed up also, "You. How can you be here? More to the point, why are you here?"
"Good afternoon. I'm looking for the Doctor."
Ten swallowed, "Well, you've certainly come to the right place."
"Good. Right. Well, who are you boys? Oh, of course. Are you his companions?" He asked.
Vivian snorted as The Doctor asked in an insulted tone, "His companions?"
"They get younger all the time. Well, if you could point me in the general direction of the Doctor?" Ten and The Doctor both demonstrated their sonic screwdrivers. "Really?"
"Yeah."
"Really." Ten added.
"You're me? Both of you?"
"Yep." Ten said, popping the 'p'.
"Even that one?" He pointed to The Doctor.
"You're my future selves?"
"Yes!" Both Ten and The Doctor shouted.
"Am I having a midlife crisis? Why are you pointing your screwdrivers like that? They're scientific instruments, not water pistols. Look like you've seen a ghost." He noticed Vivian. "And who might you be, Miss?"
"She's-" Ten started but stopped as Vivian glared at him.
"My name is Vivian. I'm a… friend."
"Don't play games with me, Missy." The Warrior said sharply. "I know you're a Time Lady." Ten practically gaped at Vivian and The Doctor sighed just as a A troop of soldiers run up, lead by a nobleman.
"Encircle them. Which of you is the Doctor? The Queen of England is bewitched. I would have the Doctor's head." The leader of the guards commanded.
Vivian looked at The Doctor while he looked at Ten and The Warrior. Ten looked between The Doctor and The Warrior while Vivian eyed the guards, quietly getting into a fighting stance,
"Well, this has all the makings of your lucky day." The Warrior remarked dryly.

Review:
SNicole25- It's not, Vivian and The Doctor talk about how Vivian didn't give him her real name in Chapter 2. We don't know The Doctor's real name either and the show has been on for more than 50 years, so don't expect to find out her real name right away.
