{"Hi, Captain of Flirtation. I'm the Princess of not Interested."}
I gasped in pleasure as he thrusts deeper, our bodies moving in sink. The moment Rose had left to her room, Theta snatched me up and dragged me to our room where he ravished me. He was like a starving man who hadn't gotten any in a while. "Fuck" I groaned out as he flipped us over and pounded deeper inside me.
My insides felt warm, as his cock moved within. I knew why he had taken me like this, after our adventure with Rose; I knew he felt the lose of me when I sacrificed myself. He was angry and upset which was why he was so rough. "I'm about to cum." He grunted in my ear as he pushed himself deeper inside me. I threw my head back in pleasure as the waves of euphoria surrounds us. We came together breathing heavily, "I'm staying inside, maybe if you were carrying my child you wouldn't do so many recluse things."
I gave him a tired and sad smile, "I'm sorry for hurting you." I muttered as he laid half on me and half off so not to squish me. "It's fine. Your here now. That's all that matters." I leaned up an cupped his cheeks with my hands and he laid between my legs. I smile gently at him and gave him a kiss before laying back down.
And with that he fell asleep causing me to chuckle and kiss his forehead.
"I love you, My Theta."

The Tardis is in pursuit of a small spacecraft, causing a very bumpy ride for us. "What's the emergency?" Rose asked as she struggled to move around the console, "It's mauve." I spoke flicking a switch to help Theta "Mauve?" She asked me, since what happened with her father she's seemed to calm down a lot. I don't know what made her change or how long it will last but I didn't mind it. With her off my back, I'll be able to think a little more clearly.
"The universally recognised colour for danger." Theta spoke causing me to snap out of my thoughts, "What happened to red?" I chuckled an moved by them to grab a hold of something. "That's just humans. By everyone else's standards, red's camp. Oh, the misunderstandings. All those red alerts, all that dancing. It's got a very basic flight computer. We've hacked in, slaved the Tardis. Where it goes, we go." I explained causing her to nod and turn to Theta again. "And that's safe, is it?"
"Totally." Bang! I raised an eyebrow as we got jumbled about, "Okay, reasonably. Should have said reasonably there. No, no, no, no! It's jumping time tracks, getting away from us." I pulled a lever as Theta began flipping switch's to make us go faster, "What exactly is this thing?"
"No idea."
"Then why are we chasing it?"
"It's mauve and dangerous, and about thirty seconds from the centre of London."
————
The Tardis materialises in a back alley between two terraces. The sort of crowded housing that no longer exists.
"Do you know how long you can knock around space without happening to bump into Earth?" Theta asked as we walked out, "Five days? Or is that just when we're out of milk?" Rose asked with a laugh. "Of all the species in all the Universe and it has to come out of a cow." Something is watching us from above. I could feel it, looking up I frowned when I spotted a shadow moving. "Must have come down somewhere quite close. Within a mile, anyway. And it can't have been more than a few weeks ago. Maybe a month."
"A month? We were right behind it." Rose asked with a shocked look, "It was jumping time tracks all over the place. We're bound to be a little bit out." I spoke as I looked back towards them with a frown. "Yeah. How much is a little?" Rose asked me causing me to smirk, "A bit." She laughed lightly turned back to Theta making me frown. Why was she acting so nice to me?
"Is that exactly a bit?" She cocked her head at him, "Ish." He shrugged with a small smile. "What's the plan, then? Are you going to do a scan for alien tech or something?"
"Rose, it hit the middle of London with a very loud bang. I'm going to ask." The Doctor shows Rose his psychic paper ID for the occasion. "Doctor John Smith, Ministry of Asteroids." She raised an eyebrow as I snorted, I don't think he is going to need that. "It's psychic paper. It tells you-" She nods along as she interrupts him, "Whatever you want it to tell me, I remember."
We come to a door marked Deliveries Only, "Sorry."
"Not very Spock, is it, just asking." Rose was really into this Spock person apparently. "Door, music, people. What do you think?" Theta asked shooting me a smirk, "I think you should do a scan for alien tech. Give me some Spock, for once. Would it kill you?" The Doctor opens the door with the sonic screwdriver, and looks at Rose's Union Flag top. "Are you sure about that t-shirt?" She shrugged as I looked over to the dark alley, something was there. I could feel it. "Too early to say. I'm taking it out for a spin."
"Mummy? Mummy?"
"Come on if you're coming. It won't take a minute." D goes inside, and I followed along as Rose paused for a moment.
The Doctor follows a waiter through a bead curtain to where a saxophonist and jazz band is accompanying a woman in 1940s clothes.
'For nobody else gave me the thrill. When I have uphold silence still, it had to be you, wonderful you'
'It had to be you.'
I watched as The Doctor takes the woman's place at the microphone. My eyes scanning the room, looking at the clothes people wore. "Excuse me. Excuse me. Could I have everybody's attention just for a mo? Be very quick. Hello! Might seem like a stupid question, but has anything fallen from the sky recently?" Silence, then laughter and that's when I see the signs about the war.
"Sorry, have I said something funny? It's just, there's this thing that I need to find. Would've fallen from the sky a couple of days ago." An air raid siren sounds. Everyone starts to leave as I walk onto the stage, "Would've landed quite near here. With a very loud" I cleared my throat and grabbed his hand, "My Love" I muttered as I pointed to a sign The Doctor spots the poster on the wall - Hitler will send no warning! "Bang."
——————
"Rose?" Theta calls as we get back into the alley, to be honest I forgot about her for a second. I had been relishing in the fact that I was with him and we had been spending time together; looking back I kinda feel back now but she shouldn't have wondered off.
A cat meows.
"You know, one day, just one day, maybe, I'm going to meet someone who gets the whole don't wander off thing. Nine hundred years of phone box travel, it's the only thing left to surprise me." I snorted causing him to chuckle and kiss my forehead just as
The Tardis police telephone rings. He paused and frowns before walking over an opens the small door. "How can you be ringing? What's that about, ringing? What am I supposed to do with a ringing phone?" I rolled my eyes at him, "How about answer it." He gets out his sonic screwdriver. A young woman has walked up the alley.
"Don't answer it. It's not for you."
"And how do you know that?"
"Cos I do. And I'm telling you, don't answer it." She insisted but Theta wasn't going to listen. He was to curious for that. "Well, if you know so much, tell me this. How can it be ringing? It's not even a real phone. It's not connected, it's not-" The women has gone, so he answers the phone.
"Hello? Hello? This is the Doctor speaking. How may I help you?Who is this? Who's speaking? Who is this? How did you ring here? This isn't a real phone. It's not wired up to anything." I frowned at him causing him to pull the phone away from his ear to let me hear as well. "Mummy?" The dialling tone. My heart was suddenly pounding, this wasn't a good feeling I had. The Doctor knocks on the Tardis door. "Rose? Rose, are you in there?" We hear a noise causing him to grab my hand a rush out of the alley.
The Doctor climbs onto a dustbin and looks over the wall into a back garden, where a well-fed middle-aged woman is shepherding a young boy into an air raid shelter. He waits for a second before helping me climb over which was actually a little hard seeming as I was in a dress. Her equally well-fed husband comes out of the house.
They are shouting to the air about a war during meal time and how Germans don't eat.
With the family safely in the shelter, we spot the young women enter the garden and go into the house. Once in the kitchen, she starts taking tinned goods from a cupboard.
She finishes filling her little sack with provisions and heads for the front door. In the hallway she stops and looks into another room and smiles, then goes outside into the street, where she whistles twice then goes back inside. A pair of urchins run in to see the feast she's discovered. "Many kids out there?"
"Yes, miss."
The boy and his friend dive for the food. "Ah! Still carving. Sit and wait. We've got the whole air raid." I chuckled at her statement, one mans table of food could go to kids hungry in a war zone. "Look at that. Bet it's off the black market."
"That's enough."
Something watches two more small boys run down the street to join the feast. "It's got to be black market. You couldn't get all this on coupons." The young women scolds the boy as me and Theta sneak around the house as well. "Ernie, how many times? We are guests in this house. We will not make comments of that kind. Washing up." The children laugh. "Oh, Nancy." So her name was Nancy then, "Haven't seen you at one of these before."
"He told me about it." One of the boys spoke causing Nancy to frown as she begins to serve the table, "Sleeping rough?" The boys nod. "Yes, miss." She nodded as Theta and I sat at the end of the table, not being notice by anyone. I couldn't see how; seeing as I was sitting in his lap but I guess they were to hungry to care. "All right, then. One slice each, and I want to see everyone chewing properly." A plate of slices of meat is handed round. A round of "Thank you, miss." Was gone around until finally Theta spoke as well when he took a slice.
The children panic while we smile at everyone. Nancy glares, "It's all right. Everybody stay where you are!" She settles them, "Good here, innit? Who's got the salt?" Theta asked as she watched us, "Back in your seats. They shouldn't be here either." I chuckled at her "So, you lot, what's the story?" I asked causing one of the boys to frowns at me "What do you mean?" My heart went out to these children, "You're homeless, right? Living rough?"
"Why do you want to know that? Are you a copper?" One of the boys asked causing me to chuckle, "Of course I'm not a copper. What's a copper going to do with you lot anyway? Arrest you for starving? I make it 1941. You lot shouldn't even be in London. You should've been evacuated to the country by now."
"I was evacuated. Sent me to a farm." One of the boys explained, "So why'd you come back?" I asked with a frown. "There was a man there-" another boy interrupted, "Yeah, same with Ernie. Two homes ago." The other boy glared at him, "Shut up. It's better on the streets anyway. It's better food."
"Yeah. Nancy always gets the best food for us."
"So, that's what you do, is it, Nancy?" She frowned at him, "What is?" She raised an eyebrow at him. "As soon as the sirens go, you find a big fat family meal still warm on the table with everyone down in the air raid shelter and bingo! Feeding frenzy for the homeless kids of London Town. Puddings for all, as long as the bombs don't get you."
"Something wrong with that?" She asked causing him to smirk, "Wrong with it? It's brilliant. I'm not sure if it's Marxism in action or a West End musical." She glared at us, "Why'd you follow me? What do you want?" I sent Theta a look causing him to smirk "We want to know how a phone that isn't a phone gets a phone call. You seem to be the one to ask." I explained with a raised eyebrow. "I did you a favour. I told you not to answer it, that's all I'm telling you."
"Great, thanks. And I want to find a blonde in a Union Jack. I mean a specific one. I didn't just wake up this morning with a craving. Anybody seen a girl like that?" Nancy takes the Doctor's plate away. "What have I done wrong?" He asked offended, "You took two slices. No blondes, no flags. Anything else before you leave?" Nancy spoke with an attitude.
"Yeah, there is actually. Thanks for asking. Something I've been looking for. Would've fallen from the sky about a month ago, but not a bomb. Not the usual kind, anyway. Wouldn't have exploded. Probably would have just buried itself in the ground somewhere, and it would have looked something like this." The Doctor holds up a rough sketch of the craft the Tardis was following. Basically, a tube. A knock on the door makes everyone jump.
"Mummy? Are you in there, mummy?" Chills went down my spine as the little boys voice spoke. The Doctor looks out of the window. It's the boy in the gas mask. "Mummy?" Nancy looked back at everyone panicked, "Who was the last one in?" One of the boys pointed at us, "Them" Nancy shook her head, "No, he came round the back. Who came in the front?" I raised an eyebrow in shock that she actually knew when we came in. "Me."
"Did you close the door? Did you close the door?"
"Mummy? Mummy? Mummy?"
Nancy runs into the hallway and bolts the front door. "What's this, then? It's never easy being the only child left out in the cold, you know." I spoke causing her to glare. "I suppose you'd know." Theta nodded and smiled, "We do actually, yes." I spoke causing her to scoff, "It's not exactly a child."!
"Mummy?"
"Right, everybody out. Across the back garden and under the fence. Now! Go! Move!" The children grab their coats and flee. Nancy speaks to the sole remaining little girl, who can't be more than four. "Come on, baby, we've got to go, all right? It's just like a game. Just like chasing. Take your coat, go on. Go!"
"Mummy? Mummy? Please let me in, mummy. Please let me in, mummy."
A little hand comes through the letter box. "Are you all right?" Theta asked and reached for him but I grabbed his hand causing him to look up at me. I shook my head at him causing him to nod gently, "Please let me in." Nancy throws something that breaks, and the hand withdraws. "You mustn't let him touch you!"
"What happens if he touches me?" I couldn't help but nod, something with this was all wrong, "He'll make you like him." Theta frowned. "And what's he like?" Shivers went down my spine at the look she gave us, "I've got to go." She knew what this kid was, who he was, "Nancy, what's he like?" I asked again causing her to turn to us, "He's empty."
The telephone rings. "It's him. He can make phones ring. He can. Just like with that police box you saw." The Doctor picks up the phone.
"Are you my mummy?"
Nancy puts the phone back on the hook. The radio starts up in the dining room. "Mummy? Please let me in, mummy." Then a clockwork monkey starts up. "Mummy, mummy, mummy."
"You stay if you want to." Nancy leaves by the back door. The boy puts his hand through the letterbox again. There is a scar on the back of it. "Mummy? Let me in please, mummy. Please let me in."
"Your mummy isn't here." Theta muttered gently to the boy, "Are you my mummy?"
"No mummies here. Nobody here but us chickens. Well, this chicken."
"I'm scared."
"Why are those other children frightened of you?" I asked with a low voice causing Theta to grab my hand. "Please let me in, mummy. I'm scared of the bombs." My eyes cloud with tears. "Okay. I'm opening the door now." The boy pulls back his hand and the Doctor unbolts the front door. When he opens it, the boy has gone and the street is deserted.
——————
Nancy goes to a shack in some railway sidings and hides the food she took from the Lloyd's kitchen. She stands up to see the Doctor, smiling. "How'd you follow me here?" I chuckled with Theta, "I'm good at following, me. Got the nose for it."
"People can't usually follow me if I don't want them to."
"My nose has special powers." I chuckled at his statement. I don't think he would want to admit something like that. "Yeah? That's why it's-"
"What?" He asked he, "Nothing." She insisted with a smirk. "What?" He turned to me, "Nothing. Do your ears have special powers too?" I burst into laughter causing him to look at me offended, "What are you trying to say?" I just continued to laugh. "Goodnight, Mister."
Suddenly getting serious I spoke up
"Nancy, there's something chasing you and the other kids. Looks like a boy and it isn't a boy, and it started about a month ago, right? The thing I'm looking for, the thing that fell from the sky, that's when it landed. And you know what I'm talking about, don't you?"
"There was a bomb. A bomb that wasn't a bomb. Fell the other end of Limehouse Green Station." She spoke causing us to grow serious "Take us there." I told her causing her to scoff, "There's soldiers guarding it. Barbed wire. You'll never get through." Theta just smirked "Try me."
"You sure you want to know what's going on in there?" She asked with a frown and the cock of her head, "I really want to know." He nodded; completely serious. "Then there's someone you need to talk to first."
"And who might that be?"
"The Doctor." Theta turned to me with a frown, then pointed at himself causing me to snort before turning back only to see her walking off. "Come on, my love." I spoke causing him to mutter under his breath, "I am The Doctor"
—————
The Doctor uses super-binoculars to scan the area. "The bomb's under that tarpaulin. They put the fence up over night. See that building? The hospital."
She pointed out and explained to us "What about it?" I asked turning to her with a frown, "That's where the doctor is. You should talk to him." She nodded starting to get up to leave, "For now, I'm more interested in getting in there."
"Talk to the doctor first."
"Why?"
"Because then maybe you won't want to get inside."
"Where're you going?" Theta frowned at her causing her to sigh in exasperation. "There was a lot of food in that house. I've got mouths to feed. Should be safe enough now." I stepped closer to her, "Can I ask you a question? Who did you lose?" Her eyes widened at my question and I knew I hit it dead on.
"What?"
"The way you look after all those kids. It's because you lost somebody, isn't it? You're doing all this to make up for it." I got her right were I wanted her. "My little brother. Jamie. One night I went out looking for food. Same night that thing fell. I told him not to follow me, I told him it was dangerous, but he just. He just didn't like being on his own." She was lying, that little boy wasn't her brother. "What happened?" I asked causing her to tear up, "In the middle of an air raid? What do you think happened?"
"Amazing." Theta smiled causing me to roll my eyes. "What is?" She asked with a frown, "1941. Right now, not very far from here, the German war machine is rolling up the map of Europe. Country after country, falling like dominoes. Nothing can stop it. Nothing. Until one, tiny, damp little island says no. No. Not here. A mouse in front of a lion. You're amazing, the lot of you. Don't know what you do to Hitler, but you frighten the hell out of me. Off you go then do what you've got to do. Save the world." Something watches Nancy walk away.
The Doctor uses his sonic screwdriver to open the padlock on the ornate metal gates to the hospital grounds. "Yes, because sneaking into a hospital is something to do on my bucket list." I mused as we walked inside the long, dark wards, every bed has a very still patient in it, and they are all wearing gasmasks. An elderly, grumpy doctor appears, leaning on a walking stick.
"You'll find them everywhere. In every bed, in every ward. Hundreds of them." I jumped slightly as he spoke causing Theta to grab my hand, "Yes, I saw. Why are they still wearing gas masks?"
"They're not. Who are you?" The man coughed causing Theta to clear his throat, "I'm, er. Are you the doctor?"
The man nodded, "Doctor Constantine. And you are?" I spoke up after him. "Nancy sent us." He jumped slightly at the name. "Nancy? That means you must've been asking about the bomb."
"Yes."
"What do you know about it?"
"Nothing. Why I was asking. What do you know?"
"Only what it's done." Constantine explained causing us to frown, These people, they were all caught up in the blast?" Theta asked him. "None of them were." The doctor chuckles then coughs. He sits in a chair by the desk where the ward sister would usually be.
"You're very sick."
"Dying, I should think. I just haven't been able to find the time. Are you a doctor?"
"I have my moments."
"Have you examined any of them yet?" We both made eye contact with one another before shaking our heads "No." We spoke together as I walked closer to the patients as Theta went to the other side "Don't touch the flesh." He warned me as I got to close, "Which one?" I asked as I turned towards them. "Any one." The Doctor points his sonic screwdriver at the nearest patient. "Conclusions?" Constantine asked with a raised eyebrow. "Massive head trauma, mostly to the left side. Partial collapse of the chest cavity, mostly to the right. There's some scarring on the back of the hand and the gas mask seems to be fused to the flesh, but I can't see any burns." I spoke out as I walked along the line of patients while Theta frowned as I took his thunder.
"They've all got the same injuries."
"Yes." They repeated again.
"Identical, all of them, right down to the scar on the back of the hand." I noticed Doctor Constantine also has that scar and pointed it out to Theta, "How did this happen? How did it start?"
"When that bomb dropped, there was just one victim."
"Dead?"
"At first. His injuries were truly dreadful. By the following morning, every doctor and nurse who had treated him, who had touched him, had those exact same injuries. By the morning after that, every patient in the same ward, the exact same injuries. Within a week, the entire hospital. Physical injuries as plague. Can you explain that? What would you say was the cause of death?" Constantine explained as we followed along, "The head trauma." I spoke causing him to shake his head, "No."
"Asphyxiation."
"No."
"The collapse of the chest cavity"
"No." We both frowned at one another causing Theta to sigh as I groaned. "All right. What was the cause of death?" I asked causing him to smirk, "There wasn't one. They're not dead."
He hits a waste basket with his stick and the noise makes the patients sit up in their beds. "It's all right. They're harmless. They just sort of sit there. No heartbeat, no life signs of any kind. They just don't die." Constantine explained as we both frowned, "And they've just been left here? Nobody's doing anything?" The patients lie down again as I walk over to observe them. Theta continues to speak with Constantine as I leaned down to examine the patient's. There masks almost looked as if it was part of their faces but how is that even possible?
"No. There are isolated cases. Isolated cases breaking out all over London. Stay back, stay back. Listen to me. Top floor. Room eight oh two. That's where they took the first victim, the one from the crash site. And you must find Nancy again." the Doctor insisted "Nancy?" Theta asked with a frown as I came back to stand by them. "It was her brother. She knows more than she's saying. She won't tell me, but she might Mummy. Are you my mummy?" Starting with the mouth, Doctor Contantine's face turns into a gasmask. I knew it, it was their skin.
"Hello? Hello?"
"Hello? Good evening. Hope we're not interrupting. Jack Harkness. I've been hearing all about you on the way over."
"He knows. I had to tell him about us being Time Agents." Rose muttered like it was a secret we were supposed to keep "And it's a real pleasure to meet you, Mister Spock." Jack walks forward to the ward, "Mister Spock?" Theta shot Rose a look as Jack moved over to me. "What was I supposed to say? You don't have a name. Don't you ever get tired of Doctor? Doctor who?" He shrugged, "Nine centuries in, I'm coping. Where've you been? We're in the middle of a London Blitz. It's not a good time for a stroll."
Jack smiled at me flirtatiously causing me to raise an eyebrow, "Hi I'm Captain Jack Harkness" I chuckled as Rose and The Doctor continued to argue off to the side. "Hi, Captain of Flirtation. I'm the Princess of Not Interested." He smiled brightly at me as I walked towards Rose and The Doctor, "Listen, what's a Chula warship?" Rose asked as I walked up. "Chula?"
Jack is using a wrist tricorder thing to examine the patients. "This just isn't possible. How did this happen?" He asked looking back at us with wide eyes "What kind of Chula ship landed here?" I asked causing him to frown, "What?"
"He said it was a warship. He stole it, parked it somewhere out there, somewhere a bomb's going to fall on it unless we make him an offer."
"What kind of warship?"
"Does it matter? It's got nothing to do with this."
"This started at the bomb site. It's got everything to do with it. What kind of warship?" I insisted causing him to sigh "An ambulance! Look." Jack produces a hologram of it from his wrist device. "That's what you chased through the Time Vortex. It's space junk. I wanted to kid you it was valuable. It's empty. I made sure of it. Nothing but a shell. I threw it at you. Saw your time travel vehicle, love the retro look, by the way, nice panels. Threw you the bait"
"Bait?"
"I wanted to sell it to you and then destroy it before you found out it was junk." Jack spoke finally telling the truth. "You said it was a war ship." Rose insisted causing me to sigh, she would believe him. "They have ambulances in wars. It was a con. I was conning you. That's what I am, I'm a con man. I thought you were Time Agents. You're not, are you."
"Just a couple more freelancers." Rose winced under our gaze causing Jack to roll his eyes. "Oh. Should have known. The way you guys are blending in with the local colour. I mean, Flag Girl was bad enough, but U-Boat Captain? And Princess? Anyway, whatever's happening here has got nothing to do with that ship." Jack complained causing me to roll my eyes "What is happening here, Doctor? Kate?"
"Human DNA is being rewritten by an idiot." I snarled in anger causing Jack to shoot me a look. "What do you mean?" Rose asked me causing Theta to frown as his mind began to wonder, "I don't know. Some kind of virus converting human beings into these things. But why? What's the point?" The patients suddenly sit up, "Mummy. Mummy. Mummy? Mummy?"
"What's happening?" Rose asked as the all start moving, "I don't know." I The patients and Doctor Constantine all stand up. "Mummy."'
"Don't let them touch you." I spoke causing Rose and Jack to frown. "What happens if they touch us?" Rose asked looking at the two of us "You're looking at it." The patients close in on us as Jack and Rose cuddle close together while Theta pulls me behind him to protect me.
"Help me, mummy. Mummy. Mummy. Mummy. Mummy. Mummy. Mummy.
——————-
So I noticed as I have been writing further chapter that I will switch from 3rd person to 1st. When I do this, Theta is in 1st and The Doctor is in 3rd.
It won't start until we get to season two or at least the last two episodes of season one and I will try to separate them but I might miss a few things.
Please let me know if I need to make any changes, no mean comments please just let me know if I need to change anything or if there are any things I need to autocorrect.
Thank you all for the great feedback. I love you all!!!
I will update again this Saturday but I figured I would give y'all a happy thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
