Rory sat behind the door of their hiding place, nervously bouncing his leg, as Spider-Man went to face the Dalek.
The Doctor was just sitting there quietly opposite him, waiting for the news to come in over the comms as to what happens next.
He looked over at Rory briefly, still holding a hand up to his ear, and Rory took the chance to speak up.
"You know, do you ever think when you send someone in like that, that you might be sending them to their deaths?" Rory asked critically, looking slightly distressed.
The Doctor just sat their silently for a minute in the dark room, considering his thoughts, before answering. "Yes, it is something that crosses my mind," he said quietly.
"And yet, you still send them right into danger?" Rory accused, huffing.
"No, no Rory you know that's not true, what's brought this on? ... Is it Spider-Man?" the Doctor asked him in concern.
He was answered with silence.
"Rory, he can handle this, I wouldn't have sent him out there if he couldn't. Plus, he agreed to go," the Doctor reasoned, looking at him reassuringly.
Rory just looked away from him towards the white closed door, swallowing, upset evident in his eyes.
"Let's just hope you're right; he is just a kid you know?" Rory answered, voice tight, letting the question hang open in the air.
The Doctor's eyes snapped towards him, "What? Just a kid! What? Rory why didn't you tell me this? How was I supposed to know he's only a kid? He calls himself Spider-Man!" he practically yelled, holding an arm out in frustration in front of him, before placing his head in his hands, grumbling.
"Well, he has always had self esteem issues, and I wasn't sure if I should because of his identity. I honestly thought you would've known, being a Time Lord and all," Rory replied, explaining his reasons.
The Doctor just sighed in disbelief, shaking his head slowly, before looking back at Rory. "You know, you're a good person Rory. I'm not sure how many other people would've considered that. Amy's lucky to have you," he said honestly.
"Yeah, she is," Rory replied. The Doctor looked at Rory in appreciation, before speaking into his comm.
"Amy, how's the Spider doing? Keep a close eye on him ok? And tell me if anything goes wrong," he spoke, with a small encouraging smile at Rory.
"Thank you," Rory said, sighing with relief.
...
Spidey crawled along the ceiling after taking his hand away from his ear, and moved cautiously towards the doorway of yet another office room. "Why not go about this the good old fashioned way?' he thought to himself, as he perched upside down in the top of the door frame.
"Yo, ugly tin can!" he addressed the Dalek loudly, successfully getting its attention, as it spun around to look at him. The blue of its eye stalk zooming in on the rather large red and blue spider crouched in the doorway.
"Hey, I don't know about you but, this Spider's looking for a giant pepper shaker that went walk about somewhere around here. You wouldn't happen to know where it went would you?" Spidey quipped, while making to look around the room dramatically with his head.
"Genetic anomaly re-detected, EXTERMINATE!" the Dalek shrieked.
"I thought you might say that. Catch me if you can!" Spidey yelled, as he shot a web and took off swinging down the hall towards the stairs. "Whoooohooo," he exclaimed, in mock joy, as he went. He didn't know enough about a Dalek to know if this would actually annoy it. But whether it did or not, what he did know was the Dalek was now speeding along the ground following him, judging by the fizzing shots of searing blue energy that were now heading his way.
"Whoops," he said, as his web line was temporarily cut, but he quickly fixed the problem by shooting a new web. "Missed me," he teased, as he then propelled himself head first like a bungee down the stairway, hoping to put a bit of distance between them.
He looked back to see the Dalek levitating after him, and his eyes widened. "Well, of course it levitates, how did ya think it was chasing you so fast before, idiot?" he said to himself. "At least the place is fully evacuated now, or things may not be so pretty," he added, in relief, before pressing the button down on his ear piece. "The plan is a go, I repeat, the plan is a go. Tin Can is currently chasing after the handsome spider, over," he said jokingly, into the comm, before quickly shooting a web and swinging into a floor somewhere between Rory and the Doctor's hiding place and Amy's location.
He quickly dashed stealthily into a room.
...
"Ok, copy that. Over," the Doctor said, while pulling Rory up and opening the door. They checked that the coast was clear, before both running over and up the stairs to reach the top floor while the Dalek was occupied.
...
Spidey hid quietly behind the door of a small reception room, waiting for the Dalek to pass. The room was pleasant enough. Red seats were set around a black table, piled high with various magazines. A large, white desk sat to one side, with a rotating office chair and desktop computer behind it and a little golden bell sitting on the surface. But after just a few seconds, he heard the humming sound of the Dalek.
It slowly hovered past the door, eye stalk swivelling around searching for him, before coming to a stop just down the end of the corridor in front of a large, rectangular window pane, looking out over the city.
...
The Doctor and Rory finally reached the storage room, puffing.
The Doctor straightened up after a minute or two and spoke again into his ear piece. "We've reached the room, entering now," he said, before quickly pushing open the door, and they both practically stumbled inside.
"He's doing alright, currently hiding from the Dalek behind a door," Amy piped in over the line, as she closely watched everything on the screen.
"Good," Rory responded, as they knelt down in front of the teleport, which came up to just above the knee in height. It was a rather peculiar machine, as it was wide at the bottom, slowly becoming slimmer as it went up, with the whole device being circular. Rory had no idea how it worked, or how the Dalek managed to make it so smooth.
...
Spidey silently listened to the chatter going on in his ear, and very slowly began to sneak the door open. His lenses glowed in the darkness of the room behind the door, in an almost creepy fashion, before lightening as he slowly moved out. He turned to face the door with the front of his body in one quick, smooth step, leaning closely into it, before moving stealthily forward, while never taking his eyes off the confused Dalek, and latching a hand onto the wall. He then began to creep up to the ceiling, moving in slow, steady bursts forward.
...
"He's creeping up on the Dalek," came Amy's voice, as Rory watched the Doctor start fiddling with the device.
"Ok, what do we do now?" Rory asked him patiently.
"We finish it, and then we wire it to send that Dalek back where it came from," the Doctor replied, while concentrating, as he pulled a panel out from the side of the device to reveal its innards. "Could you hold up this torch?" he asked, as he pulled a small silver torch out of his jacket pocket.
"Umm, yeah," Rory replied, nodding, as he turned it on. The Doctor immediately started pulling out wires, holding some of them in his mouth.
"Ah, is that safe?" Rory started, alarmed.
"I've already turned the power off," the Doctor explained in a muffled reply, before pulling out his sonic with his other hand, and started to buzz things.
"Oh, right," Rory replied tentatively.
...
Amy leaned in towards the screen, with one hand holding onto the golden bar, keeping it low in front of her gaze. She bit her nails as she watched the Doctor work, before switching her gaze to Spider-Man, who was doing nothing other than sneaking up on the Dalek.
...
"Looking for me?" Spidey asked, as he pounced on the Dalek, swinging around it at top speed from a thread attached to the ceiling. He attempted to wrap it up in a thick cocoon of webbing, just like before, sticking it to the floor in the process.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" the Dalek screamed.
Spidey landed in a crouch in front of it when he'd finished, admiring his handy work.
"Hahaha, now that's what I call 'tied up'," Spidey joked, as he stood up in front of his prey, happy with his catch.
That is, until, the lights on the Dalek's head slowly lit up. "Le-vi-tate," it boomed, as it powered up, beginning to push off the floor, snapping the webbing in the process.
"Ohh come on!" Spidey complained, as he watched the Dalek free itself.
"Ex-ter-MIN-ATE!" the Dalek screamed, and Spidey could swear he heard bubbling anger in its tone.
"Oh no," he said.
...
"Gotcha!" the Doctor exclaimed, as he shut the hatch on the teleport, and it powered to life. "Amy, what's the status?" he asked. "And Spidey, can you start leading the Dalek back up towards us now?" he added, as he and Rory slowly stood up.
"Ah, that might be a bit of a problem," Amy replied through the comm. "Spidey's got himself into a bit of trouble," she explained.
The Doctor sighed. "What kind of trouble?" he asked.
"Is he ok?" Rory added.
"Umm..." Amy replied.
...
Oh oh, I smell trouble! If you enjoyed, do let me know! And feedback is much appreciated :)
