Hope you enjoy. I wrote and edited this chapter while I was half asleep, so forgive me if there any mistakes. I am not exactly proud of this chapter, one of the reasons are that I have absolutely no idea where I am going with this. Suggestions are very welcomed.
Spoilers: 1X07 for SHIELD, everythingish for Doctor Who.
Disclaimer: I keep on forgetting to do this. I DO NOT own anything that might appear in this chapter, no matter how many times I wish for it. Well, except Patience, Nevra, and my version of the TARDIS.
Chapter 6
"It's bigger on the inside!"
"Yep, it is." Nevra says, drawing every ones attention back around to us. "But before you go and start doing sciencey thing to my walls or something, you might want to put these on." She said, handing out the oxygen tanks to our guests.
As we put them, besides Nevra, I highly doubt she even needs oxygen or anything a being living on Earth needs, I say, "We are looking for an engine that looks like it might just explode or break down when we get to it." It looks like the part about exploding engines made the SHELID team a bit nervous and where slowly inching their way towards the door. "Oh, can it will you. It wouldn't be much better out there." Nevra said. "And anyway, we need your help in here." I finished for her. Nevra just rolled her eyes. It was becoming very clear that she would only put up with me, or possibly other Time Lord.
Apart from looking slightly scared, the others joining Nevra and I on our search and I guess rescue looked a little excited. Especially Fitz and Simmons.
"Skye," she looks at me in shock, most likely because I remembered her name. "yes, I do remember your name. Could you brig that black duffle bag sitting near the main console?" Skye picks it up, I'm sure it's a bit heavier than she expected and I nod at her, I hope I was getting the point across that she had picked up the right bag. "Careful, it's kind of important." I tell Skye right before she slings it around her shoulder and landing on her back.
…o0o…
"Kind of important. Kind of important." I hear Nevra say angrily as we make it through her countless hallways. I can tell that everyone else can hear her to. "Something so kind of important would not be necessary to save my life, also everyone else's." She says. I turn my head around to look at our guests. Although they are looking around themselves in wonder, I am most likely sure that they think Nevra is a heartless person from what she just said, but I just leave it be. She is the TARDIS and my experiences with the TARDIS are that she gets cranky and somewhat mean when something inside her needs fixing, even without a body to express her feelings.
Suddenly she stops before a door and pauses to look at me. "Alright guys, we are here. Just a quick warning, do not, under any circumstances tinker, touch, or scan any of the parts in here without my…" I pause. Nevra is the only one here who knows exactly what each part does. "without Nevra's permission." I say, rewording my sentence.
Everybody just looks at each other. I am assuming that they would much rather talk to me, not Nevra.
…o0o…
Once we entered the engine room, when I say engine room, I mean engine room, and our team got over the fact that the room was entirely made up of the engine for we were standing inside of it, we got the job of fixing the outer connected engines done rather quickly. For the most part Nevra was a… nice host, for she allowed FitzSimmons (as I learned they were called by their friends) to take 3D pictures of the engine parts and for Ward, Coulson, and May to explore around. Skye stayed with us and helped with the small fixes, like hold something in place or pass us some tool we needed. She was surprisingly good at this job.
When I finished the last bolt, Nevra said something along the lines of, that feels better and disappeared from her spot, earning her a couple of odd looks from the SHEILD team. I was most likely the only one who could tell, but the TARDIS seemed to get brighter and happier once Nevra's soul returned into the TARDIS.
"Alright guys. All finished up here. Feel free to show yourself out." I say, I feel like I need sometime alone with my TARDIS, a good book, and our swimming pool. "That's it? We help you and then you just leave us to see ourselves out?" Skye questions, she looks a bit shocked. "Well, you certainly can't stay here forever, and I am feeling a bit tired. Last time I got a full night sleep was, well I can't remember." I said, feeling a bit bad that I was so cranky. It just happened when I got tired.
Agent Coulson must have seen my tiredness or something in my eyes, for one by one he started issuing his team down the passage way that lead to the front doors.
"We can give you a lift down to earth if you'd like. I'm pretty sure we are going to check out this tree in Norway, if you would care to join us." Coulson says and then goes on continuing, "It's good to have someone we don't know everything about on board, even if it is for a little while." He gives me a smile, genuine this time and we slowly start to walk down the hallway. It's nice to have someone besides Nevra to talk to, even nicer if they are curious about alien things. "Actually I was thinking of getting some much needed sleep, then to take off. There is this thing in the back of my head telling me to go to Lake Silencio, Utah." He nods, but still sad that I am not staying. "But, I have something you can use to contact me, if you ever think you need a slightly law breaking Time Lady." I say. I have had this installed in the TARDIS for a while now, but I had never given it out to anyone yet.
I fish a piece of paper out of my pocket and write down a number. "Here, use it phone an alien. Should be able to cross the time vortex and reach the depths of space. Might give you a nasty phone bill though.". I hand him the number and hold open the door for him.
Once he is safely outside, I pull on the start and safely turn off the brakes as I watch the already bewildered SHEILD team get even more amazed.
And there it is, my longest chapter yet. Sorry about the delay, I actually had to go to school and do my homework. I referenced The Impossible Astronaut and The Well, episode 1X08. Yeah! My updates will become more random now that I have real important stuff to do, such as school and girl scouts.
