"Do you know why you're here?"
"Because we're on the VIP list?" Jack smirked up at the tall man who was now standing outside their room.
The man shook his head and smiled. "No, how I wish I could say yes to humour you though."
"Can't you humour us anyway?" The Doctor asked. "It would be nice, it's the least you could do considering you've locked us up."
"No."
"Spoil sport." Phil muttered from her sitting position. She didn't quite trust herself to stand yet, Luke sat beside her frowning at the man.
"Enlighten us then," Sarah Jane smiled politely. "Why did you bring us here?"
"All of you were captured for a reason. That reason being to take away the defences of this planet which you all equally try and protect. You see, people on a whole are slow and stupid. Their armies and air force can only do so much."
"You misunderstand the human race to much." The Doctor shook his head and ran a hand through his hair. "Yes I can agree with you that they are slow and stupid at times. But they're learning still. They're not as old as us, oh good grief I just admitted to being old. How awful? Oh well! Where was I?"
"You were lecturing him."
"Thanks Phil, yes as I was saying. You misunderstand them, you push them enough and they will fight back. The fight they will give you will be something which you'd never expect. When they do, we'll all be there to laugh at your downfall."
"You're so sure of yourselves yet you're all locked up."
"You see people everywhere should learn that sticking me in a room isn't wise. It never ends well." The Doctor smiled and put his hands in his pockets. He stared squarely at the man who just stared right back. The stare off got interrupted by uniformed men walking in.
The one who everyone presumed was in charge jumped when Phil had stood up and started punching the wall. She was glaring at one person in particular.
"When I get out, so help me Nick you're in for one hell of a righteous arse kicking that I highly doubt you'll be able to reproduce any time soon." Phil muttered and punched the wall again. The Doctor put a hand on her shoulder.
"He's not worth it." This annoyed Nick who stepped forward. "Yes Nick? Can we help you somehow? Keep in mind there's not much we can do considering our current situation." The Doctor smiled, Phil held onto her head and shook it slowly. Opening her eyes she watched as the dark haired man walked away.
The man in charge smiled and exited the room along with Nick and the group of men. Phil sniffed and wiped her eyes. Turning around she latched onto The Doctor, he took a step back from the sudden contact and reached down to hold onto her.
"It's alright Phil! We'll get out, and once we do you can kick Nick's butt good and proper yeah?"
"He always does things for a reason." She whispered. "He warned us then...his warning doesn't fit into what's happening now."
"Maybe it does," The Doctor put her at arms length. "I think he was really warning us that this was going to happen regardless."
"It hurts," Phil said while putting a hand on her chest. "Like...I think I've just been stabbed."
"Betrayal feels like that." Jack said from over The Doctor's shoulder.
"You mean to say that all these years...or just recently...he wasn't actually my friend? I'm so confused Doctor I don't get any of this anymore."
"I think Nick is just a man following orders from the higher ups." The Doctor reasoned. "Only because he's being ordered to do something doesn't mean he was never your friend." He smiled and patted her on the shoulders. "Now, lets figure out a plan of getting out of here."
"How can you say there's a flaw in Einstein's theory of relativity? The man was a genius."
"There just is." Luke answered, Phil crossed her arms and tapped her foot on the floor. "I can't explain it to you."
"Are you calling me stupid?"
"No!" Luke exclaimed and waved his hands in defence.
"Come on then Mr Genius, explain away." Phil gestured a hand to him. In all honesty there little odd argument was planned.
As far as plans go it was not a very good one. The group were hoping that a staged argument would get the attention of the guards who would have no choice but to intervene.
It was hard trying to stage an argument with an artificial human.
"Erm, well-"
"Forget it!" Phil exclaimed happily. "I've lost interest now, you took to long to answer and I'm not one for waiting."
"She's good at this arguing thing. Poor Luke looks like he's going to pass out from confusion." Jack laughed from his leaning position against the wall.
"She's not usually one for arguing actually." The Doctor said while watching Phil pick apart another random piece of information that Luke had told her. "Where the hell did she learn to argue?"
"Doctor, she's a woman. They're all good at arguing."
"Watch it," Sarah Jane said from the other side of The Doctor. Jack grinned and nodded, "Poor Luke though."
It was blatantly obvious that the teenage boy hadn't had much experience of temperamental arguing women. Phil clutched onto her head and groaned. "Are you alright?" Luke asked while ducking down to look at her. Phil shook her head and stumbled to the floor.
"Phil!" The Doctor exclaimed and went to step forward. Jack stopped him which caused him to narrow his eyes.
"Wait a minute." Jack said and watched as the plastic cells door slid open. The Doctor watched as three guards walked in, they all seemed to direct their attention to Luke and Phil. "Now." Jack muttered while jumping to hit the nearest guard. Stealing his gun he shot the other two in the legs and stole their guns too.
"That was so cool!" Phil exclaimed referring to what Jack just did. Jack in turn grinned and nodded his head down at her, The Doctor on the other hand walked over and pointed a finger at her. "Yes?"
"You faked that!"
"Yup! It's called acting Doctor, I saw the argument failed so I thought; hm...why not have another moment?" Phil put a hand to her chin and smiled.
"You're a genius!" Doctor said excitedly while giving her a quick hug. "Come on, lets get out of here."
"Ok!" Phil jumped over the shouting men on the floor and ran out of the cell while clutching onto The Doctor's hand.
"Where would the TARDIS be?" Jack asked while looking alert at all corridor openings. Jack looked at Phil mainly. "Can you sense where it is?"
"Erm." Phil fidgeted on the spot and stuck her hands in her pinafore dress pockets. Sighing she looked at the corridors near them. "That way." She pointed to the far left and walked slowly over to it. "Yeah yeah, down here I think!"
"You think?" Jack repeated. "That's not very reassuring."
"'I think' in Phil's language means; 'jackpot'." The Doctor said while putting his hands on Phil's shoulders and pushing her down the corridor.
"Won't the closer we get the more strong the feeling you sense get?" Luke questioned while running alongside his mother.
"Logically yes."
"If I suddenly faint then you'll know we're going to right way." Phil said while kicking off from the wall to turn a corner.
"We need to find our things too." Sarah Jane said while stopping running. They came to a sudden large set of double doors. Jack being the only one armed stepped forward to open the door and venture in.
"It's clear, and you never guess who is in here!" Jack grinned and opened the door for them all. The Doctor beamed and ran with his arms stretched out towards the police box.
"Does he always do that?" Luke asked while helping Phil to stand up straight. Her head was aching horribly again.
"Oh yeah, it's stage one of being reunited."
"What's stage two?"
"You'll see," Phil laughed lightly and walked slowly over to tap The Doctor on the shoulder. "Can we go in?"
"I suppose you can!" He smiled and pushed open the doors, which were previously locked. "Oh...what have they done to you?" He asked sadly while walking slowly into his ship. Looking at the console he frowned. There were so many wires plugged into it and trailing from it, the whole console room was a mess of wires.
"No wonder my head hurt."
"They've reprogrammed it Doctor." Jack said once he'd run up the stairs and walked around the console and pushed a few buttons.
"Don't touch!" The Doctor yelped while wagging a finger up at the dark haired man. Jack smiled and stepped away. "Close the doors please Luke, come along people lets reprogram the TARDIS to get us out of here."
"The doors broken."
"Luke and Phil go out there and see if there's anything to fix the door."
"Can't I help in here?"
"Phil, shoo, go fix the door."
"But that's so boring!"
"Someone's got to do it though and Luke may be able to do it all on his own. But I'm rather sure he'd like the company. Not only that, pulling these wires out could really hurt. You being in here while that's happening probably isn't going to be a pleasant sight."
"So you're giving me a task where you don't have to watch me flip out in front of you?"
"Pretty much!"
"You're so nice Doctor, have I ever told you this?"
"You don't tell me nearly as much."
"Ok, you're very nice. There, two times."
"Thank you Phil, now go fix the door with Luke." The Doctor waved his hands at her. She saluted him and walked slowly out of the ship with Luke.
"That was the strangest conversation I think I've ever witnessed." Jack said while shaking his head slowly, still trying to process the conversation he had just witnessed.
"You're both like little children."
"Is that a bad thing?"
"I think it's rather endearing." Sarah Jane smiled, "Come on then Doctor. What do we do?"
