"Come on, Jack," River silently said to herself. Where was he? She was sure the coordinates were absolutely correct, she'd busted out of the prison hundreds of times with the Doctor. In her spare time, she'd rewired the camera in her cell to have a constant 4 hour long loop of her in there. The prison guards never suspected, when they came by for the nightly check-ins she was already back in her cell. There was a whole nest of weapons and devices she kept under her cot, these oblivious prison wardens didn't stand a chance.
River was kept in the most supermax prison in the entire universe for killing the Doctor, the last Gallifreyan. First, it was illegal to kill the last member of an endangered race and second, it was illegal to kill the Doctor. So, basically, River wouldn't be leaving anytime soon. But damnit, she needed to leave now!
"Jack!" she said impatiently while pacing around the cement grounds. She was kept in her own special corridor of the prison labeled Quarter R. Her section was on the very east wing of the super-max prison, so distant it was considered its own separate building. It was located on the small planet of Boolig in Venusian space, but Quarter R was placed on the local moon of X13DZ. A half-a-mile long titanium reinforced corridor spread from the main prison to her cell dormitory. It was quite an honor actually. Every night she would look out through the small 3 ft x 2 ft,15-inch plexiglas window to see the flickering stars in the sky, waiting for her love to come pick her up in his bluest of blue boxes. She smiled, if only he was coming now, not dying in his beautiful machine. River slowly walked to the window, her smile fading into a sad frown. Oh, the Doctor had to make it, he always did and today would be no different. He'd bounce right back to his feet, that tweed jacket a little scuffed, but he would brush it off and dance around his console in delight, shouting his quirky phrases to the old girl. River rested her elbow on the sill, looking at the tiltilating purple violet sky of Venusian space. The twinkling silvers stars gleamed like tears, as if it cried for her man.
Wherever that Captain Jack Harkness was, River Song was prepared to give him a nice whooping for being so-
River shouted in surprise and horror as a lifeless body covered in still wet blood appeared right behind her window.
"Jack!" she gasped in horror. How was River supposed to get to him?! The Captain was wearing a tattered white shirt stained red, his navy cargo pants were ripped and peppered with holes, but most importantly, the time vortex manipulator sparked on his wrist. The coordinates were a little off with the time travel device damaged.
"Bloody hell," River thought aloud. She started to jog to the end of the corridor, creating a runway towards the window. Time was of essence, she had to be quick. In her many jacket pockets she had four guns, including the square gun, extra ammunition, hypnotic lipstick, an oxygen pellet, smart glasses from the planet Viroxen, a voice manipulator, temporary amnesia spray, a few other gadgets and toys, and last of all: a key to the TARDIS. River had to time this perfectly. 15 inches wasn't going to easily shatter but her square gun would make do, it just needed to work quick. Starting off at a slow jog, River began to gain speed on her makeshift runway and began to cover ground. Her arms pumped up and down as her legs moved faster. She held the gun at good precision and held the trigger, the square outline already indenting itself in the glass. The oxygen pellet was in her mouth, ready for her to bite down on to give her temporary supply of oxygen.
The square outline in the window opened up to a portal in space, gravity sucked her towards the opening. River held tight, ready to crash into Jack's awaiting form. She curled tight into a ball, her teeth crunching into the oxygen supply in her mouth as she hurtled into space towards the Captain's drifting body.
If this were deep and unexplored Space, River's skin would have melted clean off in a matter of milliseconds, but Quarter R had a slightly permeable oxygen atmosphere around her that provided some protection against the dangers of space. River kept her mouth closed tight as the oxygen inflated in her lungs and gave her little time, she figured she had 45 seconds at most. Using her legs, River propelled herself from the side of Quarter R and in the direction of Jack Harkness's floating body. She kept her arms wide and clamped down on his cold form when she made contact, her eyes starting to water from being closed so tight. She could feel her lungs and the back of her throat start to ache and strain without proper oxygen flow. 15 seconds.
River pulled out the TARDIS key and placed it against an Atraxi issued tracker she stole from one of the Officers. After a moment a list of numbers and letters appeared on the small digital screen, the TARDIS's coordinates. She punched the numbers into the Time Vortex Manipulator, grabbed hold of Jack's cargo pants pocket, punched the blue button, and prayed to God that she would land on the TARDIS.
There was a rush of wind and her ears popped just as she opened her mouth in an effort to grab a breath of air.
