Walking back into the chamber room The Doctor glanced at Darin, he was sitting looking out of the window. Walking up to the chamber where Phil was he typed on the keys. Darin flinched and jumped up from his seat, "How'd it go?" He asked with confused blue eyes, Doctor gave a nod and smiled up at him. That was all the confirmation he needed to know it all went well.
Nick appeared a few seconds later and purposely sat on top of the chamber which had Naramiel sleeping soundly within it. "Hi again!"
"I thought you were gone."
"I was, then I came back! Did you miss me?"
"Not really, no sorry Nick." The Doctor looked at him and then watched the lid of the chamber slide down. Nick just shrugged and jumped off of Naramiels chamber. He walked around the side and pressed buttons on it too.
"Don't you want to know what happened to him?" Nick asked quietly while standing away as the lid slide down.
Crossing his arms Doctor nodded at him, "Enlighten me Nick." He paused, "Actually! No I think I can guess, straight into his cell to spend the rest of his life in suspended animation?"
"Sorry does it offend you somehow?"
"Well just a little, don't you know how weak of a way that is to lock away criminals?"
"We store the long term-"
"Store? Nick these are humans and fellow alien species, they aren't toys or...I don't know, groceries to store in a galactic larder." The Doctor said, this argument had been brewing ever since he discovered Nick was the only one who knew fully what was going on. He didn't honestly mind the Trions, if anything he respected them. They were a smart bunch, brilliant at creating weapons which may be why Doctor didn't take a immediate shining to them. But he stuck by what he said earlier, their legal system was little to desire it was usually all one sided. If one person had done something which the judge had deemed dangerous, or if in fact the person in question had actually killed anyone or anything then they were immediately guilty. Guilty didn't lead down a nice path, suspended animation for all of their mortality was awful.
"He's in a cell, but he's not been sentenced guilty, lord knows why though."
"Right ok well that's a little better at least he can still walk around." Giving a shrug The Doctor looked down, Phil fidgeted and reached up to rub her eyes. It took her a little less than five minutes to wake up here, yet on the TARDIS it seemed to take an eternity to wake her up.
Soon two green eyes stared up at him, Phil made an odd squeal of excitement and shot up quickly and wrapped her arms around his neck. Looking around with slight wide eyes Doctor reached up and patted her on the back.
"I have a head rush." Phil admitted quietly so only he could hear, nodding slowly and pulling out of her grip he stood at arms length.
"Why Phil I believe you look more well rested than I've ever seen you!"
"Gee thanks!" Phil said while playfully punching him on the arm.
"This is the thanks I get?"
"Excuse me? You get? What about me?"
"Nick!" Phil exclaimed and twirled to look at him, he gave a lazy wave and walked over.
"How's it going?"
"Erm...I just woke up."
"I know," Nick nodded and patted her on the head gently. Phil smiled and looked between the two. Pulling a face and trying to not get in the way of their minor glaring fight she fidgeted again awkwardly.
"Wow...feel that male tension," Phil put her hands over her face and slowly let out a sigh. Removing them she slowly swung her legs over the bed. "Come on then, what happened?"
"I'll tell you later," The Doctor diverted his attention back to her. Phil smiled happy with that, she figured he'd most likely tell her when they were on their own. "Have a nice sleep?"
"I did! There were no dreams."
"You usually dream?"
"Erm...sometimes!"
"Nice dreams?"
"Well a bad dream would be a nightmare wouldn't it Doctor? And I said dream, so yes. Nice dreams."
"How can you be so confusing for someone whose been awake for only," Doctor paused to look at his watch. "Five minutes."
"Look whose talking." Nick snorted and crossed his arms, he flinched though when he got hit over the head.
"You sit on top of my chamber again and prevent me from getting out and I will kill you personally."
"Oh Naramiel! It's so nice to see you too! Hug?" Nick jibbed and held his arms out, the blue skinned woman narrowed her eyes at him and walked over to Phil.
"You're alright now."
"I know." Phil said simply, of course she would know if she wasn't alright. She'd definitely feel it, and right now she felt much better than she did earlier on. Naramiel nodded and crossed her arms, "Are you staying?"
"No sorry love-"
"I was not talking to you," Naramiel shot at Nick. Phil tried not to laugh, the hate she had towards him was funny. The Doctor knew full well that she didn't know of their past, he had the option of telling her though. Shaking his head slowly he decided that if they wanted Phil to know, they would have told her.
"Sorry we can't stay either." He smiled and put his hands on Phils shoulders. "We have places to go! People to see, places to blow up. You know the usual?"
Naramiel gave a smile, "I understand."
"Actually! Phil I need to chat with you quickly."
"Is the rent due at home?"
"Most likely I don't know, I've not been home for a few months." Nick reasoned and suffered a confused look from her. "What?"
"I hope we've not been evicted."
"Meh," Nick shrugged and tugged her out of The Doctors grip, walking slowly towards the door he walked down the corridor slightly with her. She smiled at him, he couldn't help but smile back. She was so naïve and innocent it was funny and a little ironic for her to be here and for her to take part in the adventures that she did.
"This looks serious, we have been evicted haven't we?"
"No no! Honestly, but yes this is a serious matter. Phil do you remember what I told you my job was?"
"You're a bounty hunter, yeah yeah I remember I'm forgetful at times Nick. But I am not that forgetful. Why? Why do you ask this question?" Phil looked at him worriedly when he started to pace slightly.
"Yes I'm a bounty hunter, it is a part of my job to keep the peace in the parts of the universe I can get to."
"Alright...stressful day?"
"You have no idea," he laughed cynically and leant against the wall. Tilting his head to side Nick looked at the floor and then up at her. "Phil, The Doctor is dangerous. Haven't you noticed the slight trail of chaos he leaves behind him? He's a nice guy don't get me wrong even I like him. No I am not trying to talk you out of hangin' around him." Nick paused, Phil stood there listening intently to him. "He's dangerous." He repeated more seriously, "Your little trip in London with the Daleks took me and a few others months to clear up. Don't get me started with the thing in Egypt."
"You've been watching us?"
"Phil it's my job to keep an eye on potential dangerous people. Just so you know, the Trions aren't exactly the biggest fan of The Doctor. As such," he paused and pinched the bridge of his nose. "They're willing to try and bring him in for the peace of the universe."
"You're here to get him?" Phil took a step back, and then another. Nick knew she'd act like this, after all when she needed a true friend and help Doctor was there, he wasn't. The Doctor had saved her from the Fendahl in London, he hadn't. Nick frowned, it sounded like he was a little jealous, he wasn't honestly.
"No, I'm here to get Harold, now I have done my job I am here telling you that if he gets into anymore dangerous situations he will get taken in."
"By you?"
"No because I'm personally involved."
"What?"
"You'll go too Phil, you're after all, his companion." Nick paused, "You can't tell anyone about this. Go back in there and say we were discussing rent problems or something, or maybe go through with us being evicted? That's a plausible lie."
"You're a plonker, a grade A plus plonker. In fact I don't know anyone more of a plonker."
"Hey steady on now-"
"Nick! You always say things which mean the opposite. You're not telling me of what will happen to us, suspended animation in a small cell does sound inviting don't get me wrong." Phil said sarcastically while rolling her eyes. "You're warning me, I mean us." She said quietly, Nick looked at her sadly. "Thank you," she whispered and walked forward to give him a loose hug. Nick looked up at the ceiling and leaned his head against hers.
"I have to leave, so should you. I have to give my report of what happened today."
"Please try not to make him sound to dangerous."
"I won't."
"Promise?"
"Oh yeah only if you visit home more often!"
"You said you were hardly there."
"Whatever! Bye Phil, be careful you know where I am if you need me." Nick smiled and took a step back from her. Soon he disappeared and she was left standing in a corridor on her own.
