Note:

ElizaPendragon – thanks for the review especially your hint about the Dragon. All I remember from the first series is him complaining about being kept prisoner and giving Merlin riddles or advice (that wouldn't be followed).

Anne Camp aka Obi-quiet – thanks for the feedback on the layout – I think it's only the first chapter without breaks between the POVs, I published it before I fully knew how it all worked. I think i'll go back and change it at some point.

Magambo paced her office well into the night, it had taken three of her largest men to hold the king down to administer the sedative, as the maid screamed in the corner convinced they were killing him. She had let the girl stay awake to fuss over the unconscious man but was starting to regret that, maybe she should authorise another sedative so she could at least try to sleep without worrying about medieval people and their horses.

She made herself another coffee and sat at her desk, this whole ordeal would require some serious paperwork and if the Doctor did return the two to their own time then how would they ensure no secrets of Unit or the future went with them.

An idea occurred to her as she finished her mug and closing down the card game she had open she logged onto the UNIT server.

'MAG52 OVERRIDE TORCHWOOD7' she typed in to the machine and an unfamiliar interface came online

'MESSAGE CAPT JACK1: UNIT REQUESTING ASSISTANCE FROM TORCHWOOD AUTHORISE DOCTOR OVERRIDE SYSTEM' she typed.

Almost immediately a message returned to her 'WHATS HE DONE THIS TIME? J X'

Ignoring the informality of the captain's message she replied 'REQUESTING OVERRIDE 29 ACCESS CODENAME RETCON'

'MUST BE SOMETHING REALLY BAD :P' came the reply

'CAPTAIN THIS IS NIETHER THE TIME NOR THE PLACE'

'SPOILSPORT' came the reply immediately followed by 'OVERRIDE GRANTED CODE 27195'

'THANKYOU'

'TELL THAT MAN HE NEVER CALLS ANYMORE'

Magambo logged off and sighed, however infuriating he was, you could always count on Jack to be awake at the strangest times. She stood up and stretched making her way quickly to the safes. The over ride code would only last a few minutes so she would need to get the pills now and decide if she should use them later.

'27195' she typed into the little electric box and a draw slid out holding around ten of the little pills torchwood was so fond of. She grabbed two and contemplated on taking a third for Nora but decided against it, far too much paperwork would be involved there. She slid the box shut and locked it with the same code.

Dropping the pills on the desk she lay back in her chair, maybe a quick nap would put her mind at rest.

"Oh you beauty" The Doctor ran towards the TARDIS with glee in his eyes and pulled the key out of his pocket to unlock the door, "Terrance, Donna in we go" he said as he swung the door open.

"But but.. the inside.." Terrance began to stutter

"Is bigger yes" Donna said shoving the bumbling guard towards the door "I don't know how you put up with it" she said to the Doctor shaking her head.

"Do you want to come with us" he asked Merlin "one quick round trip"

Merlin stared into the vastness of the box and shook his head, I will go fetch Arthur, so he will see that you were true to your word

"You sure, there's magic beyond even your great mind in my little blue box Merlin" replied the Doctor.

"I'm sure" replied Merlin, "I must fetch the Prince, how long will you be?"

"A minute a second, no time at all" grinned the Doctor "Go fetch your Prince and I will be here when you return"

Magambo awoke early to the sound of Gwen screaming, she should have sedated the girl after all, it was only as she opened her eyes she noticed the sound was coming from a little closer than she'd expected. Above her stood the king of Camelot and his sword. She closed her eyes again, maybe it'd go away.

"Yes Sire." She said re opening her eyes, she had decided to play along if it meant calming the man down "How may I be of assistance".

"Don't joke with me" he said lifting her chin with his blade "I demand we are released at once"

The usual then, thought Magambo as she signalled for help on a switch under her desk, seconds later two soldiers guns at the ready burst through her door, Uther turned to face them sword still drawn as he advanced on the men Magambo stood and drew her own gun from its holster and pointed it at Uther.

"I'm sorry Your Highness but I cannot allow you to leave right now, please lower your weapon"

Uther glanced to his left where Gwen still stood in the corner of the room, breathing deeply, 'at least she wasn't screaming' thought Magambo as The King lowered himself to the ground as if to place his sword down before spinning towards the first solder and attempting to swipe at his legs.

The nimble soldier jumped the sword and cocked hi gun aiming it at the Kings chest. "Cournal" he asked.

"Do you know what we hold sire" asked Magambo turning her gun to its side and letting Uther look at it for a moment.

"A magic weapon, I suppose witch"

"Science sir, this is a gun, it does this" she turned the weapon and fired it neatly into a cabinet, twice.

Gwen screamed at the noise of the bullets echoing around the room "What was that?"

"Deadly" replied Magambo, "do you understand now sire what we threaten you with."

The King dropped his sword with a clatter onto the concrete floor.

Magambo strode over to her desk and grabbed the two Retcon pills, "Would anyone like a cup of tea?" she asked.

Donna was trying to calm Terrance down, he was not enjoying his ride in the TARDIS much, "its .. its bigger" he stuttered for the fifteenth time.

"Doctor, can't you deal with him" Asked Donna

"Can't, driving" The Doctor leaned against the centre console looking like the most relaxed man in the world.

"Let's just knock him out then" said Donna, "shut him up"

The Doctor grinned, "No point" he said "we're home"

Donna led Terrance to the door and shoved him out first before turning to The Doctor, "so we grab our medieval people and get the home before tea time right?"

"right"

They strode out of the TARDIS in unison to the sight of an unconscious King and Gwen, being guarded by two soldiers.

"What have you done" raved Donna, "You've killed them"

"Don't overreact dear" said Magambo coming out of the shadows, "its just a mild sedative boosted with an appropriate portion of retcon"

"Retcon? That's a Torchwood thing" said the Doctor, "How did you get that"

"We have a small supply for emergencies Doctor, the captain asked me to inform you, you never call anymore" she sounded strictly unimpressed at this comment but The Doctor grinned.

"It's on the to do list" he said "Now let's get these two home"

The King and Gwen were laid on the TARDIS floor as the Doctor set the controls Donna chuckled, "what?" The Doctor looked confused.

"The King and future Queen of Camelot are unconscious on our floor what's not to find funny."

"Arthurs face when he thinks we did this"

"ah"

The Doctor pulled his walkie talkie out of a pocket as he turned another dial, "Oh and Magambo" he said into it as the TARDIS set off "Your machine won't work anymore, have fun with the Horse" he threw the device on the floor and chuckled "Now her face, that would be funny".

Donna rolled her eyes.

Next chapter will be the final one I think, Please Review.

Would anyone be interested in a sequel, I'm going to give it a proper plot and everything.
