A/N: I have an awful lot of explaining to do and I am possibly the worst author on this site because I haven't wrote in ages. It happens every year, when our favourite TV show is no longer showing, I go off Doctor Who completely. It's horrible and I hate that it happens. But a great best mate of mine has been harassing me to get back into it so I have read 2 books, 12 long fan fictions, watched episodes of series 1 and 2 and pasted doctor who all over my room again to get me back into it. I am succeeding! YAY!!!!!!!! Lets hope I'm back for good people. I couldn't write because it is incredibly hard to write something that is not of any interest to you. I am truly sorry and I don't blame you guys (what's left of you..) for hating me(if you do).
SO SORRY!!!
The trio sprinted down the corridor, jumping over patient's legs while trying to loose their pursuer in leather. They span around a corner, skidding into each other and then pegged it down a set of stairs nearly bashing into some Judoon that were on their way up.
"Not that way then!" The Doctor yelled and turned the girls the other direction. He accidentally stepped on Martha's heel but decided there was no time to apologize as he sped left through some double doors, Martha now a bit behind him and Rose. They both slowed their pace a little so she could keep up. They were a bit more practised at running for their lives than the med-student. All three reached a corridor that had all kinds of hospital equipment strewn in their path. They sped up even more, dodging the trolleys, med-packs and god knows what.
Martha got in front of Rose blocking her view so Rose couldn't see where the littered items were. Her foot caught on a discarded gown and she went sprawling across the floor. The Doctor noticed and cursed under his breath. He pushed Martha ahead and skidded to a stop. He turned back around and helped Rose scramble up.
"Thanks," She said breathlessly as they continued their run. They caught up with Martha quickly and sped down another length of corridor.
To their right the Doctor spotted a smaller darker passage and decided to try down there. He turned quickly and caught the skidding girls before thrusting them ahead of him. He was right there was a room down here that would come in handy. He made Rose and Martha go in ahead of him before slamming it in the leather guy's face, locking it with him sonic screwdriver.
"When I say 'now', press the button," he ordered as he frantically pushed both girls behind a glass wall.
"But I dunno which one!" Martha shouted panicked.
"Then find out!" He replied sharply. Rose looked at the panel completely unsure of what to do.
"Don't you have a guide for dummies or something?" Rose asked her scanning the room hurriedly. Martha looked at the shelf behind them and snatched up a folder marked operators manual.
She flicked through it but found nothing helpful in the whole two seconds of looking at it. The leather man slammed into the door and bashed it off it's hinges is a crash. On the same impulse, both girls slammed their hands on the big yellow button, completely guessing but they thought it was worth a go.
They guessed correctly. The doctor held onto the X-ray machine squinting while the room was filled with a flickering white light. The radiation hit the leather man and made him spasm and fall to the floor with a loud thump. The Doctor exhaled relieved and let go of the machine.
"What the hell did you do?" Rose asked looking at the immobile leather man on the floor. Martha had wide eyes and was staring at the Doctor.
"Ah I just increased the radiation by 5000%! Killed him dead. Well, when I say dead, he wasn't technically living anyway. He was completely made out of leather." he smiled at her.
"Jesus! Won't that kill you?" Martha asked worried putting the folder back on the shelf.
"Nah," The Doctor dismissed casually, "it's only rontgen radiation. Used to play with rontgen bricks in the nursery! Used to have one heck of a time. Used to make me very ticklish!"
Rose smiled finding his strange ramblings normal while Martha looked at him like he had just turned pink.
"Oh it's safe, you can come out. I absorbed the excess radiation he told them grinning. The girls went back into the room cautiously watching the Doctor as he twitched his shoulder and bounced on the balls of his feet.
"I have just got to expel it." He hopped a bit more and gasped what seemed like in pain.
"You all right?" Rose checked watching him with furrowed eye brows.
"Ouch! Yeah I'm fine Rose, don't worry." He gasped managing a smile. "I've just gotta shift the radiation... see if I can get rid of it. Ah! It's in my left shoe," He lifted his foot and hopped a bit more.
"Come on! Out. Out! Easy does it...OW! Out! Out, out, out! OW! AH! ITCHES! Itches, itches itches." He kicked his foot and backed into a wall. Rose rolled her eyes at his antics but couldn't help smirking. He pulled of his converse and threw it hard into the bin.
"There we are!" He sounded proud of himself. Rose grinned happily.
"You're completely mad." Martha stated sounding a bit disbelieving.
"Only just noticed?" Rose turned her grin to the med-student.
Short I know and it really doesn't make up for my absence. I have kinda given up expecting reviews because I am such a bad person, so don't worry. Love you guys.
