Hi! Sorry I didn't post this on Friday, I've been sick and busy. Please leave any advice, criticism, and anything you want to say in the comments!
The man in the brown trench coat was starting to get on Gordon's nerves. Not only did he keep insisting that his name was "Just the Doctor", but he kept asking weird questions about Gordon's suit.
"So, how does it work? It seems to use a field of disconnected electrons to reduce the velocity of incoming projectiles, am I correct?" Gordon grunted, and the two rebels who were with them simply looked confused. Conversations like this, with the doctor asking a long and complicated question and Gordon giving grunts of varying pitches and lengths in response. When they got back to the White Forest Base, Gordon immediately took the Doctor to Dr. Kleiner.
"Ah, you must be Dr. Kleiner! People keep saying I should see you!" Kleiner turned around, holding Lamar in his hand and asked, "Who is this, Gordon? I can't be disturbed right now!" The Doctor completely ignored this and approached Kleiner while putting on a pair of 3D glasses. "Well now! Aren't you gorgeous! A species of crab that has adapted to control their host's nervous system, correct?" Kleiner nodded, seeming a little taken aback by the man's demeanor. "Who are you, again?" he asked.
"The Doctor." Replied the Doctor while looking intently at Dr. Kleiner's pet headcrab.
"Doctor who?"
"Just the Doctor." Kleiner looked even more confused, and so Gordon explained. "He just kind of showed up in the middle of the forest having no idea where he was. He probably would have gotten himself killed or captured by the combine if we didn't find him. The Doctor looked up at the mention of the combine. "What is this 'Combine' anyway? You keep talking about it as if it's the worst thing in history, but what IS it?" Gordon gestured to Kleiner, giving a silent 'See?' Dr. Kleiner looked incredibly excited at that, realizing that he would get to explain a lot without anyone telling him to shut up, and he asked Gordon to get down to the launch room with Dr. Magnessun and Eli. He then started to explain everything from Black Mesa onward to the Doctor.
Gordon went down to the launch room and after hitting a button to send a rocket into space, he went to talk with Alyx outside.
"So who's the guy you found?" she asked.
"Some crackpot we found in White Forest." Responded Gordon. Then Eli came out and they celebrated for a bit on their victory over the Combine, and went into the hangar to check on the Helicopter that Alyx repaired. She was about to show it to Gordon and Eli, but suddenly they were attacked by an Advisor. The thing grabbed Eli, Gordon and Alyx with it's phsycic tendrils, before snapping Eli's neck. It was about to do the same to Gordon and Alyx, when Dog broke through the wall and bashed it with his fists. The thing screamed, green blood gushing from a wound in its side, and it fled. The last thing Gordon saw before blacking out was Alyx crying over her father's dead body.
