Crashed

I sighed. "Look here... who ever you are. I'm on a tight schedule, and if you want this Earth to be safe, you better listen to me."

The man who was clearly in charge of the operation drew himself to his full height and said, "This is a military operation. I will not have some know-it-all Time Agent come in and muck it all up!"

"Look," I looked at his name tag, "Captain Michael. If my team and I don't do something NOW about this, things will only get worse. Now, I suggest we move this conversation into a private office, away from the rest of your staff."

Captain Michael sighed and ran his hand down his face. "Fine." Michael huffed. "Follow me." I followed Captain Michael into a room in the back.

Mary was muttering in my ear saying we don't have time, over and over again. "Shh!" I hissed and Mary immediately stopped.

"Now, tell me, Captain Anderson, what the hell is going on?"

"Well, sir, From what I could gather from my intelligence, alien creatures called Zygon's have infiltrated the Agency and are preparing to do the same to Earth. The funny thing with Zygon's is that they take the form of their captures, so we don't know who is Zygon and who is Human."

Michael sighed and sat down in his chair. "What do you want me to do about it?"

"Give me a shuttle, with guns, and a hour. That's it. After that, you can do whatever you want." I said, giving him a deal.

Michael thought about it for a couple seconds then stood up. "Deal."


"Mary, I'm going in." I said over our little group's com. unit. I piloted the one person shuttle up the sky and into the lower atmospheir slowly as not to alert the Zygon's to my approach, but I knew once I got closer they would spot me. "How is Jack doing?"

"I'm fine, Susan." Jack whispered. "I'm already in the Agency, hiding in the bathroom. They would never think to look there. I really don't like this plan of yours. Why do you always take the dangerous tasks?"

I shrugged then remembered they couldn't see me. "Habbit?"

"I don't know how you survived without me." Jack commented.

Suddenly a loud beeping came from the dashboard which flashed red at me. My eyes widened when I saw how many guns were pointed at me. "They spotted me." I said, panicked.

"Hold on, Susan." Mary said. I could hear the panic in her voice.

The beeping in the shuttle grew louder. "Their charging their weapons! What ever you are going to do, Mary, do it now!"

"I'm going as quickly as I can!" Mary yelled back.

My eyes widened as green laser looking beams fired from the building on the moon. "Shit, Mary do it now!" I yelled and yanked the steering to the right and floored the gas. I looked behind me and saw the beams following me. "Damn, they fired the trackers!"

I speed toward the Agency's loading docks, dodging lasers as I got closer. "Jack, can you make it to shuttle bay nineteen? I'm going in hot."

"I'll try." Jack responded. "Susan, just be careful."

I outright laughed at that. "Me? Careful? When does that happen?"

"Promise?" Jack asked.

I sighed. "Promise Jack. I love you." Then everything went black.


I groaned and stirred around in the rubble of my crashed shuttle. Black dots clouded my eyes and I blinked fast to get them out. I looked around. I was underneath a pile of rubble. I moved a bit to try to get my arm out from underneath me and heard creaking and the sound of metal moving and immediately stopped.

In the corner of my eye I could see a couple of small fires going. I coughed a couple times, trying to get the smoke out of my lungs. "Susan?" Came a soft panicked yell. "Susan, do you copy?"

I coughed again and looked down to see the small black ear device that Mary was yelling into. "Susan!"

I sighed and picked it up with my free hand. "I copy." I said, my voice ruff.

"Oh, thank God." Mary said, sighing. "What the hell happened?"

"I crashed." I retorted. "And I'm stuck in the remains of the shuttle. Look's like Jack will have to do this one on his own."

"No he won't." Came Jack's voice from the black device. "Susan, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Jack. Oh, did I mention we are on a time limit? I gave Captain Michael an hour. Then if we don't get word back by then, he can do whatever he wants."

"What?" Jack asked. "Why didn't you tell us this before? We only have twenty minutes left!"

I coughed again before answering. "Go! Stop the Zygon's. You know where to find me after."

"Alright." Jack sighed. "Over and out."

As Jack left the chat group the shuttle said in a very annoying woman's voice, "Warning, You have fifteen minutes of air left." I sighed and started to try to shift the mettle slowly so I could try to get out faster. Why was I always getting into these types of situations?


"Susan?!" Came Jack's voice over the com. "Susan, are you there?"

I coughed and took a precious breath of air in. "I'm here." I said. I had cleared the mettle from the door and had tried to get it pried open, but it wasn't budging. I wished I had my sonic with me. It was getting hard to breath and I already had to shut down one of my lungs and one heart. I winced as the shuttle's hull creaked again. I was sitting by the door, both of my hands still trying to pry it open, but I knew I wasn't strong enough. I had been trying for two long and was running out of air.

"Warning, you have two minutes of air left." Came the annoying voice that right now I wanted to kill.

"What was that?" Jack asked, panicked.

"Noth-" Before I could finish the word it turned into a fit of coughing. "Okay." I said, after my fit. "I may or may not have less than two minutes of air left. I cleared most of the debris out of the way but I couldn't get the door open."

"That's nothing?!" Jack yelled through the com. "I'm coming to you."

"What about the Zygon's?" I asked, coughing.

"They are taken care of." Jack said. "And I have told Captain Michael's to call off his attack."

"Good." I said, sighing. I rested my head back on a piece of metal.

"Susan, just hang on. I'm in the hanger." Jack said. Then I heard knocking on a piece of metal. "Do you hear me?" Jack asked.

I smiled. "I hear you."

"Warning. One minute of air left."

"I want to kill that voice." I laughed weakly, my strength gone.

"Just hold on, Susan." Jack said. I heard the groaning and sliding of mettle. I saw a bit of light slide through the darkened cabin. Then I saw more and more till it was blinding. I closed my eyes to get away from it. "Susan." Came Jack's voice right next to me.

I opened my eyes and saw Jack leaning over me. "Hey." I said as Jack helped me stand up and limp out of the crashed shuttle. Both of us sat down, our backs to the wall as we watched crews dismantle the shuttle and try to save some of the parts. I smirked. "Finally, something I haven't passed out on." I said, jokingly.

"I don't even know how you have survived this long." Jack said, sighing, leaning closer to me.

I rolled my eyes. "Just shut up and kiss me." We leaned into each other and kissed, finally having some time to ourselves, even if it was in public, and ignoring the wolf whistles of the men working, just enjoying being together.
