Companion
"Shut up!" Skye squealed in delight. "You're kidding me, right? You do NOT have one."
Fitz grabbed the remote and paused the episode of Doctor Who right on the Eleventh Doctor throwing the bread and butter out of Amelia's house. He jumped off the couch and ran into his bunk. The two of them had learned that they shared a common interest in the famous show, and had been watching it together twice a week. Originally, the plan was one episode a night, but it had evolved into three episodes, and sometimes an occasionally blast from the past with the classic series.
"Care to change your opinion?" Fitz smirked as he returned and flopped on the couch beside her. He was holding a silver object, on which he pressed a button. The end of the sonic screwdriver raised up, and the end glowed blue. Skye stared at it in amazement, grinning at him.
"Oh my god," Skye murmured, trying hard not to go crazy fangirling over it. "You actually have one. I just wrapped a pen in duct tape and stuck a bead on the end. But that is so cool, especially since it's Ten's."
"Ten was my favorite," Fitz confessed, taking his finger off the button. "He was amazing, and I did not want him to go."
"Not cool, but true," Skye said as he cracked a smile at her joke. "But yeah, I loved him too. He was just THE Doctor. Who was your favorite companion?"
"Of Ten, or all time?"
Skye thought about it for a moment. "All timeā¦in the new series," she added. "I don't know any of the old companions from the classic aside from Sarah Jane."
"Ugh," he groaned, running his fingers through his curls at the agonizing decision. "I'm going with Rose, or Amy. But Rory was great too, even though he kind of came with Amy. He was good, he was faithful, really cared about people. I liked that about him."
"I'm going with Martha," Skye told him, tracing a spiral on her jeans. "She had to deal with a lot, like when the Master took over the Earth or when the Doctor forgot who he was and everything else, yet she powered through it. I'm not bashing on the other companions-they had to go through a lot too. But for Martha, she just overcame it all and still kept on going."
"Kind of like you," Leo replied, tapping her wrist with the sonic screwdriver. "You wanna watch some more?"
"You're really asking me that?" laughed Skye, pressing the play button. But even as Matt Smith drank the bowl of custard, her thoughts remained on Martha Jones. It hadn't just been what she'd told Fitz, but more. Martha didn't get a lot of respect with her teacher at the hospital, and Skye felt common ground there. When she first started out with Rising Tide, it had been the same way. But then a man in a blue box had whisked Martha off to see the stars and planets and all of time and space. Just like the team had taken her in on the wildest ride she'd ever experienced.
She looked over at Fitz and smiled a little to herself, wondering if she'd found her Doctor.
Yep, there it is. Hope you guys like it.
Also, what Skye did for her sonic screwdriver is what I did for a Halloween costume, but I used a marble.
