"We find the plasmavore. What's she doing now? She's still not safe. The Judoon could execute up all. Think, think, think. If I was a plasmavore surrounded by police, what would I do?"

The Doctor turns on the spot, thinking hard. He spots the MRI sign, "Ahh. She's as clever as me. Almost."

After walking down two corridors and a flight of stairs The Doctor turned to House, Wilson and Cuddy.

"Which is the closest MRI room? No wait. Which is the best MRI room? And the closest?"

"Down one more level, next to the emergency room."

"Right."

Then they were off again, like they had never stopped.

They came to a halt on the first floor where they were met by the Judoon captain who noticed their lack of markings. The Doctor didn't completely stop, he wasn't moving forward but his whole body was tingling with energy and his feet were not stationary, nor were his hands. He was so close and the familiar surge of adrenaline would not allow for any stillness.

"All persons shall be scanned."

"Right yes well, scan away and be quick I need to get somewhere."

"Confirmed. Four humans. You must be marked."

"Marked? You're not coming near me Mr Ugly."
House waved his cane menacingly until the Doctor put his hand on it.

"Don't, just don't."

"What's your problem E.T?"

"You obstruct them, threaten them, do anything that stops 'justice' and they will execute you."

The Doctor was talking through clenched teeth, the very idea making him angry. Not his idea of justice.

House seemed to catch on and for once stopped making crude remarks besides something about useless, idiotic rhinos and how they wouldn't know he was insulting them cause their obviously too thick to realise he's talking about them so 'E.T' couldn't tell him to stop now.

'E.T' almost, almost, rolled his eyes and turned back to the Judoon who was drawing on Cuddy.

"Right well hurry up, places to go remember."
The Doctor was losing his patience and jiggling slightly on the spot, eyes scanning the area ahead of him over the Judoon's shoulder as if by just sheer willpower he could be there. He was barely staying still enough to have a black cross put on the back of his hand.

As soon as all were marked they raced onwards. Wilson quick to point out something that puzzled him.

"But they said you were non-human before."

"That's because I was. I programmed my DNA to their devices so I could not be recognised remember?"

"Why'd they have to draw on us? Not very fashionable is it?"

Although House was famous for his brilliance in medicine, he was also well known for his sarcasm, which seemed to have no effect on the Doctor what-so-ever, as if the alien had never heard of a rhetorical question before.

"Judoon procedure: Ink you so they know you've been scanned and they don't have to go through it again."
"Don't mind him; he just doesn't like being put into categories. But what if they scanned her?"

The way Wilson kept up, asked questions worth answering and seemed to have some sense made the Time Lord smile.

"That's a possibility. Don't worry I'll think something up, I'm good at that. Come on!"

"Cripple!"

When they find the MRI room at the end of a corridor, The Doctor stoped, went to run off, stoped again and thought.

He made a face at House, an indecisive noise at Wilson, then turned to Cuddy.

"Stay here. I need time. You're going to have to hold them up."

"But this is my hospital! I want to stay with you. How am I supposed to hold them up?"

"Could try mud wrestling."

The Doctor ignored both House and Cuddy as he took out his sonic and proceeded to scan himself.

"Right. I'm no longer hidden, never liked hiding anyway." And he smiled, then turned to Cuddy, very serious.

"Just stand here, the Judoon will do the rest."

"Wha-" Cuddy's argument was cut off by The Doctor kissing her quickly then running off. Wilson and House following when their brief shock wore off.
