LOLFinding Dad

Jimmy made contact with Captain Fallen who was very surprised to hear from the young man."If you want Ambassador Tyler "Ambassador Tyler has been kidnapped by an man called Nafficilonaucalutius, who demands my father in exchange for her life.
"Although the words were said in a calm and clear tone, the Captains expression was one of pure horror. Questions raced through his head as to how this could have happened. Although they'd heard the rumors, he could scarcely believe it had actually happened, here and on his watch. One of his men must have been in on the kidnap.. he would have to set up debriefings, schedule interrogations...

Jimmy Tyler's next words snapped him out of his reverie though."We've got to find my father, captain. And you know how to contact him. Don't you." He demanded.Fallen hung his head, and nodded just the once.
"Then we need you here, as quickly as possible"
"Acknowledged."

A day and a half later the three of them were travelling towards a sector long forgotten by the rest of the Universe. Three it was, because despite her brother wanting her to stay behind in case contact was made again, Laura-Rose had insisted on coming to meet the man that was her father. A worried Mickey and Liz were watching over the console, ready to rely any more information as it came in. It had taken coercion from both his wife, Captain Fallen and Jimmy to get him to stay behind. His parting words were confusing to say the least, concerning a tin dog?
And there had been recriminations as well, between sister and brother, when Jimmy had discovered that Laura-Rose had known about her father before he did. But he had eventually forgiven, if not forgotten that.
So here they were, and according to what Captain Fallen had revealed to them, the way through to the other universe was by the means of an ancient artefact called a CVE. This construct could be used to pass messages and people back and forth, but not entire vehicles.
Another two hours passed and then they had arrived. Quickly Captain Fallen typed in the authenticode and the machine sprang to life.
"What should I say?" He asked Jimmy.
"Don't mention us. Just say that Moth- that Rose Tyler is in danger and needs him." Fallen complied and then sat back.
All they could do was wait for a response.

An entire universe away, the Doctor was kneedeep in machinery and wiring. He contented himself with these 'necessary' repairs whenever he felt lonely or started thinking about Rose. Needless to say, he had almost rewrited every panel in the TARDIS's console room by this time.
He tinkered with this and that, improving and dismantling... not expecting trouble, or visitors.
It had been a number of years, since that day he'd said goodbye to his Rose for the second time.. and the last time. Too many, in his opinion, but he knew they could never go back. Besides which, she had probably married by now, had kids, had grandkids even by all accounts. She didn't need him interrupting her life again, and he knew it. But that didn't stop him thinking about it. Wishing for it even.

A sudden insistent beeping noise interrupted his train of thought and he sat up so quickly he bumped his head on the grating which plated the floor of the console room.
Next time, he thought, next time I redecorate.. softer floor tiles!
He hurried over to the TARDIS console, and flicked a couple of switches. "No, thats not right! How can we be recieving a transmission from there?" He wondered aloud to himself.
Another couple of checks, and the information was confirmed. A message from across the Void, from the CVE he had used such a long time ago.
He quickly scanned it, checked it, rechecked it, reread it, filed it, got it out again, reread it again, then saved it again.
There was no denying the call. Whether it be from an enemy who was using Rose to get to him, or authentically from Rose herself, he couldn't let it go unanswered.
Quickly he typed a message back.

Laura-Rose was the only one not dozing when the message came in, and she shook her brother awake in her excitement.
"What... whazzit!" He was not happy at being woken in such a fashion, but then as Mickey liked to put it, Jimmy had never been a morning person.
"We've got a response! We've got a response!" She said pointing at the screen with glee.
"Well read it then!" Said her brother, peevishly, feeling a same thrill of excitement.
The message was brief. And very confusing.
"MARCO POLO"
Brother and sister looked at each other in confusion. Marco Polo?
"Marco what!" Captain Fallen didn't understand it either.
"Marco Polo." Repeated Jimmy and then something happened. It started out like a warping of space/time and then with a sudden flash, a man appeared hovering above the floor. For a few seconds he hung there, suspended in time, and then he collapsed into a heap onto said floor admist a string of curses.
"Oompfh"
Jimmy turned to the Captain.
"Is that him?" He whispered.
Captain Fallen nodded an affirmative.
For a moment nobody moved.

"Well noone help me up then!" Said the Doctor, as he managed to right himself with difficulty, trying to regain some dignity out of the entrance he'd just made. Not his finest he reflected, but then not exactly his worst either.

Laura-Rose just stared, before reaching out a tentative hand, and touching him lightly on the shoulder.
He spun around at the unexpected touch and let out a smile.
"Hello. I'm the Doctor. And you are?" He asked, sticking out a hand in greeting. She didn't take it.
"Laura-Rose... Laura-Rose Tyler." She revealed.
The Doctor's eyes widened a little, but he recovered well, running his hand through his hair agitatedly.
"Ah well. I'm not sure what your mother has mentioned about me -" He started, embarrassedly.
"Everything. How you eat marmalade out of the jar, how you love listening to the Beatles...what you have for breakfast.." She reached out again, to touch him. To make this all real.
Jimmy stood a little way off, unsure of whether to encroach on this scene.
"A bit more personal then I'd have liked... and whatever she says I do not drink the milk from the carton. I only do that with the orange juice." He clarified.
"So... where is Rose? I thought the message - "
"The message was from us." Jimmy spoke up now.
"And you are?" Asked the Doctor, his eyes narrowing. There was something about this one, something that reminded him.
"I'm Jimmy Tyler. I'm Ambassador Tyler's son." He answered, not holding his hand out or offering any more information then that.
"Well, pleased to meet you. Now, back to my original question. Where is Rose?" He demanded, all niceties aside for now.
"In a minute. Aren't you going to ask about our father?" Jimmy knew he shouldn't, knew it wasn't fair, not really, but fair wasn't exactly what he was feeling like right now. Right now he needed answers, answers from a man who he had never met until today, who wouldn't understand - not straight away. But he had to know them anyway. Because anything was better then not knowing his own father.
"Not really my business. But he must be something special to have cornered your mother. Mind you there was that time she married a prehistoric tribal leader. But that was in the course of saving the world.." He trailed off as he realised both these kids were looking at him now, looking at him in a way that struck like daggers into both his hearts.
"Yes he was by all accounts. He liked to travel alot... in his blue police box." Replied Jimmy, cruelly.
"Jimmy!" His sister was less than amused by her brother's attitude.
The Doctor sat down in shock.
Now he could see it, the chocolate brown eyes, the hair... the ... it was all becoming a bit much.
"Dad?" Asked Laura-Rose reaching out to him.
His eyes rolled up into his head and he collapsed before she reached him.
