"Doctor!" Eva yelled.

It was no good. She was swarmed by a mob of frightened patients. The Doctor was nowhere in sight. Eva figured that he might have gotten swept away with the massive crowd of people. She felt the panic start to swell up within herself. Ever since they landed in London, Eva felt the odd sensation that she should not be here. Somehow, she was out of place.

"I have to find the Doctor. I have to get out of here." She thought to herself.

All of the shouting and cries of hysteria were starting to take their toll on her sensitive ears. The cries for help, the screaming, it was all overwhelming her senses. Eva tried to cover her ears as she ran to the nearest corner, hoping o drown out the panicked voices of a thousand people.

"Somebody help me! Somebody help me!"

"Have you seen-?"

"I'm sorry, I can't!"

She fell to the floor in agony, covering her ears as tight as she could. It was no use. The screaming, the crying, the yelling, everything continued to pierce her sensitive ears. She curled into a ball, sobbing in pain.


Meanwhile, the Doctor had found himself swept toward the main entrance of the hospital. Curious, he reached his hand toward the glass door.

"No don't!" someone yelled. "You'll cause all our air to get sucked out!"

"No he won't." a young woman retorted.

The Doctor turned to see who it was.

Standing next to him was a very beautiful young woman, with perfectly dark skin, black hair, and brown eyes.

"These windows aren't airtight at all." She began. "If the air were going to be sucked out, then it already would have happened."

The Doctor smiled at her, impressed at her understanding and calm demeanor.

"You're right." He said, quite pleased as he swung the doors open.

Surely enough, the air did not escape. The patients inside gasped, relieved that they still had air, for now at least. That fact seemed to help everyone settle down. The Doctor turned to the young woman he had just met.

"What's your name?" he asked.

"Martha." She replied. "Martha Jones."

Standing behind them was the young man who had bumped into the Doctor shortly before the hospital was transported. The man took one step closer, then tapped him on the shoulder.

"Excuse me, Doc," he said in a friendly manner.

The Doctor turned around, his eyebrow raised.

"Have you seen that lady you were with earlier? You know, black hair, blue shirt, blue eyes, blue jeans? You know come to think of it she really seems to like that color, not surprising considering-"

"Yes I know who that is. That's Eva!" The Doctor interrupted, a little annoyed at this stranger disturbing his analysis of the current situation.

"She must have gotten lost in all the commotion." He said as he looked at the crowd of people before him, trying to find her face. "She's probably fine. Why? Who are you?"

The man let out a frustrated sigh. "You mean you didn't keep her with you?! Why? Why would you do that?!"

The Time Lord furrowed his brow, offended at this young stranger yelling at him.

"Look, I don't know who you are," he said angrily. "But right now I'm trying to figure out what's going on in this hospital so that I can save everybody in here, and you're not helping!"

The man grunted angrily. "You had one job, Doctor!" he yelled before disappearing into the crowd of patients.

"Wait, how does he know who I am?" the Time Lord asked himself.


Eva breathed a sigh of relief as she relaxed her hands and put her arms down. The noises stopped. She took a moment to gather her thoughts before standing back up. In the back of her mind, she couldn't help but feel out of place. There was nobody around her, and it was eerily quiet.

"Doctor?" she called out.

She continued walking down the halls, searching for any sign of him, when suddenly she heard someone call out her name. Eva saw a young red haired man run in her direction. He skidded to a stop right in front of her.

"Eva! There you are. I've been looking all over."

She tilted her head in confusion. "I'm sorry, but who are you?"

"Oh yeah I forgot!" he said with a chuckle. "My name's Wally."

"Wally." Eva repeated the name and paused for a moment. "No, I don't know anyone with that name."

"I know." He said to her. "Look it's a long story, but you're gonna have to trust me on this. I'm here to help."

Their introduction was interrupted by the sound of loud engines whirling from above. Eva covered her ears once again. Wally looked at her face and lightly tapped her shoulder.

"Hey, hey look at me."

Eva obeyed.

"Don't concentrated on all the noise. Listen to me okay? Can you try that?"

"I can't." she said, cringing. "It's too loud."

Wally scratched his head. He hadn't fully realized just how early in Eva's timeline he really was. He had to think of something to help Eva control her hearing, and fast.

"Come on, just isolate my voice, like selective hearing. Focus on me."

Slowly, Eva heard the engines getting softer and softer. It was working. Wally smiled as Eva put her hands back down to the sides of her body.

"There you go. Better?"

"Much." She replied. "How did you know I could hear so well?"

"That's a long story." He said to her. "But we got bigger things to worry about right now. Come on, we gotta get back to the Doctor."

Wally took off running, although at a relatively normal pace for a human being. Eva ran beside him, and together they ran down the halls of the hospital, squeezing and nudging their way past individuals within the massive crowd. They both slowed to a stop, and looked ahead as patients and staff alike were pushed against the wall and being scanned by what appeared to be giant rhinos in black armor.

"What the-?" she started to speak.

The giant rhinoceros proceeded to pull out a black marker and draw and "X" on the hands of the people they were scanning. Eva made her way closer toward the strange creatures before a hand grabbed her from behind.

"There you are!" said the Doctor, relieved that Eva was all right.

"Doctor," Eva began. "What's going on? What are those creatures?"

"Judoon." He answered. "Police-for-hire. It appears they're looking for a non-human on the run."

"Then they can't find you." Said Martha, who was standing right behind him.

Eva pointed to her. "Who's that?"

Martha wasted no time introducing herself. "Martha. Martha Jones. Look, the Doctor is not human. He just told me. We can't let the Judoon find him."

"This is weird." said Wally.

"What is?" asked Martha.

"This- this whole thing, it's just so different."

Five of the Judoon started to march their way toward the four of them.

"Okay, hold on." Said the Doctor. "Who are you and what do you mean 'different'?"

"My name is Wally West."

As they continued marching, one of the Judoon shouted orders in their native language. The five alien mercenaries stopped in their tracks and pulled out their energy blasters.

"I'm here to help you."

The Judoon then aimed the blasters at the four of them.

"Because this wasn't supposed to happen."
