A/N: Aaaannnd….another random update! Someday I might come up with an actual schedule…until then, they'll just keep popping up unexpectedly. (Much like the Doctor himself.) Spoiler Warning: Very light references to Seasons 2-3 of Warehouse 13. That's about it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Warehouse 13 or Doctor Who.

Acquaintance

"How are you not worried?"

They sit in airport security. Jinks is tense, rigid, wound tighter than the propeller on a rubber band airplane. She's the exact opposite, slouched in her chair, listening to her iPod, relaxed and not at all concerned.

"I told you…I know a guy."

"I know a guy too. His name is Artie, and he said we're on our own with this one." He rubs his face in aggravation. "Ugh. I knew we should've just shipped the knife!" Claudia shakes her head.

"Nope. No mailing artifacts. Not since Dr. Doomsday."

"Doctor who?"

"Someone say my name?" Steve nearly falls out of his chair, he's so startled by the tall, skinny man who seemingly appears out of nowhere.

"Geez!" he exclaims, flinching. Claudia snickers.

"Now who's the spaz, Jinksie?"

"Sorry I took so long, got caught up in 15th century France. And you know how that goes." Steve examines the stranger, wondering how it is that Claudia knows him. He doesn't exactly seem like her type. The two couldn't look more out of place beside one another, with his tweed jacket and suspenders and bowtie, and her with skinny jeans and a band t-shirt and a streak of bright blue hair.

"You used that excuse last time." Claudia accuses him.

"Like I said, you know how it goes." He sticks out his hand. "Hello! I'm the Doctor. Pleased to met you. Meet you…sorry, tenses. Time traveling tends to muck them up a bit." Steve raises an eyebrow.

"…Time traveling?"

"Yes. I'm a Time Lord. It's what I do." Steve opens his mouth and gapes. He's seen a lot of strange things since starting at the Warehouse. Things that have…surprised him, you could say. But nothing is quite as surprising as this.

"You're not lying."

XXXXX

I'm honestly not sure how Jinks would get along with the Doctor. Thoughts? Leave 'em in a review! Or, if you don't feel like talking about that, you can talk about the Warehouse 13 Christmas episode and how awesome it was. :D (Well, I thought it was awesome, anyway.)
