Supernatural/Doctor Who crossover fan fic: The Night the Earth Cried
PART SIX: The Test
Hotaru opened up her eyes and looked around. She could not remeber what happened or how long she had been out. She tried to sit up but warm hands held her down. She began to panic. 'Easy I am not going to hurt you, but the Rani is in for a world of hurt.' Hotaru groaned as Sam helped her sit up. 'I am going to kill HER!' Hotaru winced at Jack's angry voice. 'She is a type of Time Lord Jack you cannot just kill her!' Hotaru sighed, there was no way the Doctor would be able to get through Captain Jack Harkness' thick skull. She looked at Sam and Dean, who had been staying back by her just in case. 'Help me stand up. When Jack gets like this only me or Ianto can calm him down. Since my fiancee is not here I have to do it.' Dean did not want Hotaru to move, but he also knew from experience not to argue with a women. The brothers helped her stand and walked her towards Jack. She nodded and they let her go but she stumbled and Dean caught her. 'Easy there.' Hotaru pushed off of Dean gently. 'I will be alright. As a part of Torchwood I have taken worse hits.' She smiled slightly as Dean raised an eyebrow. 'I will tell you about a few of them sometime if we survive this.' Hotaru finished walking over to Jack a lay a hand on his shoulder. She felt the tension in his body begin to relax slowly. 'Hotaru...' He slowly turned to face her and for a few seconds he wanted to kiss her, feel her lips on his own once again. He felt his heart slam in his chest, he lay a hand on her cheek and she leaned into his touch. 'I should not have made you go.' She felt drawn to kiss him and she was close enough for their lips to brush when Jack's phone went off. The moment was broken as Jack answered the phone. 'She is fine Ianto, yes you can talk to her.' Hotaru took the phone and walked away from the group. 'I am fine Ianto, no her spell was broken by the Wincesters and..Jack.' She walked further away so she could finish her conversation alone.
Dean looked at Hotaru as she walked away then, he looked back at Jack. 'Dude why the hell did you let her go!' Sam rolled his eyes and looked over at Jenny who suddenly looked very uncomfortable. He turned back to Jack and his brother. 'It is not that simple Dean!' Jack cried frustrated not even realizing this whole conversation was making everyone uncomfortable. 'What the hell do you mean? I can practically see the sparks flyinf between you two.' Sam tried to calm his brother down this was really not a discussion to have right now! Dean of course, ignored him and kept ripping into Jack. 'I CANNOT DIE!' Jack cried finally snapping at Dean who instantly shut his mouth out of shock more then anything else. Then Dean spoke up after a few seconds. 'No way that is not possiable unless your demon or something your not are you?' Dean asked getting suspicious. 'Even angels can die.' The Doctor thought now was a good time to interevene. 'Your half right. It is not possiable, yet he is the exception. I have never been able to figure it out but Captain Jack Harkness cannot stay well..dead.' Dean and Sam looked at Jack then back to the Doctor. 'He is..unique.' The Doctor finished. Jack sighed as he walked over to Jenny. 'That is why I could never settle down, not with this curse or whatever you want to call it.' Jenny wanted to argue, she could be with him she was a time lord..sort of she could not die, not really. Jack shook his head before she could speak and she kept her mouth shut. 'You know how many friends and family I have seen die! I could write a book on them. I remeber every single one of them, every face and how they died. I watch them die and so do I for a short time then I comeback and it is not a pleasant experience.' He looked at Dean and Sam. Both boys had died before and by some miracle were both brought back quite a few times. By the time Hotaru walked back to them she looked even more tired then she had a few minutes ago. She looked at Jack and she felt the pain in his next words, cause she understood some of them. With her gift there were many times she had been too late and could not save the people she wanted to save. 'All of them dead and gone, yet by some crazy ass circumstaines I am still alive no matter how many times I have been killed.' Jack paused as he met Hotaru's eyes. 'I can't even describe it to you, the rush or even how I comeback. I just..do.' Hotaru turned away from Jack she could not handle this right now. 'We have to get out of here.' Jack and Hotaru and the brothers jumped startled as Amy spoke, they had forgotten she and Rory were even there. 'The Rani got away but she also maybe lying in wait. We have to move.' Amy explained as she held her husbands hand. Hotaru looked at the two and smiled slightly, she could not wait till she and Ianto were married but first they had to get out of here. 'This way.' The Doctor called pointing down a hall. Jenny and River shrugged. 'He does know what he is doing, doesn't he?' Sam asked a little nervously. River smiled. 'He is the Doctor and my husband so to tell you the truth he may or may not know what he is doing, But we are also not going to stand around here like statues and wait for Rani to return. She will and when she gets back she will be more angry then she was before.' Dean raised an eyebrow. 'More angry like psycho vamp angry or Crowley angry?' Sam cleared his throat as the others began to look just a little nervous. 'Um, never mind lets just get out of here.' The others turned back to the hall and went after the Doctor. 'Dean remeber they are not from our time, they have not faced a psycho vamp or Crowley.' Sam explained. 'I knew that.' Dean said. 'I was just curious is all.' Sam shook his head and followed the group. 'Cas I am going to kill you when we get out of this.' Dean mumbled as he followed after his brother once more into the great unknown.
The Doctor smiled at his companions. Even though he did not like that the Winchesters, Harkness and Hotaru were here it was nice to see that they could take care of themselves. He watched his daughter and Jack and he was a little worried. He really did not want Jack to hookup with Jenny. River walked over and squeezed the Doctor's hand. 'Don't worry bout it. You know I don't like the spoliers but you don't have to worry about Harkness and Jenny they do not work out.' She whispered. The Doctor let out a sigh of relief. 'Thank you River.' The Doctor whispered. River nodded. She normally did not tell spoilers but this time she would make an exception. Partly cause she did not want Harkness and Jenny together either. She, thank goodness had never gone down that road. She did not however tell her husband that yes for a short time Jenny and Jack were together. That was one spolier she was not going to tell. She also did not want to think bout what she had seen between Dean and Hotaru. Though that is another story for another time. 'Doctor I see the exit, well I hope it is the exit.' Rory murmured. Amy rolled her eyes. 'You had better be right.' Amy snapped. She was tired of running around this TARDIS or whatever this thing was!
After twenty more minutes or so they reached what appeared to be "the exit" instead they found the door to another hallway! 'Does this thing ever end!' Dean ask tartly. The Doctor turned toward Dean finally his patients at an end. 'They call your angel and tell him to get us out of here!' River grabbed her husbands hand and tried to calm him down. It worked for a little while. 'Don't you think I have already tried that!' Dean cried bitterly. 'He either does not hear me or he is ignoring me!' Sam walked over to his brother and lay a hand on his shoulder which Dean pulled away from. "I am tired of this place. I want to get back to what we are suppose to be doing, closing the gates of hell!' Jack closed his eyes and suddenly opened them when Hotaru took his hand in her own. He looked down at her and nodded. 'I think I can get us out of here.' Jack said. 'Though I am not sure where we will end up.' River looked down at her time watch knowing what Jack was talking about. 'Jack you can't take all of us. I can take half.' She stated. She looked at her husband. 'Though we don't even know if we will end up together or in the same place.' The Doctor sighed and looked at his companions. 'It is our only chance. I don't think we can get out any other way.' River nodded. 'I will take my husband, Amy, Rory and Jenny.' Jack sighed. 'Which means I get the rest of you, Sam, Dean and Hotaru.' It was not excatly even but it was better that they kept the couples together and besides Jenny had her own device if it was needed. 'Alright then set the time for an hour from now. Hopefully it will send us out of here and back to the TARDIS. If the coordinates are right.' The group nodded as they all began to glow and disappered from sight.
