The Doctor and Lucy burst into a lab breathing heavily. The Doctor turned and locked the door behind them and turned back around to see Lucy running between benches and turning on every gas tap she came across.

"One step ahead as always," the Doctor praised but she barely heard him over the pounding on the door. The Doctor ran over and started working on loosening a lightbulb as Lucy dashed around the room.

Just as Lucy got back to where the Doctor had jumped off the table, the door banged open and Lazarus crawled in. They both dropped to the ground in a crouch as Lazarus chuckled, "More hide and seek Doctor. How disappointing," The Doctor glanced over at Lucy's trembling form as Lazarus continued, "Why don't you come out and face me?"

The Doctor tore his eyes away from Lucy as he called back, "Looked in the mirror lately?" and stood up to face Lazarus from across the room.

"Why would I want to face that," he finished.

Lazarus snarled at him and made to lunge across the room at him. The Doctor reached down, grabbed Lucy and ran for the far corner where there was another door leading from the room. As they ran past, he flipped the light switch, which caused the room to explode behind them. The blast pushed them to the ground and the Doctor instinctively put his arm around Lucy to protect her from the blast.

After the blast settled, Lucy realised the Doctor was on top of her and started panicking. She started breathing heavily and thrashed around, trying to get the Doctor off of her. The Doctor immediately got off and she backed up quickly against a wall, her blue eyes wide with panic. The Doctor looked at her worriedly and tried to comfort her but she just brushed him off. She closed her eyes for a moment and took a deep breath to steady herself, then stood up and said shakily, "We have to keep moving,"

The Doctor studied her worriedly for a second before pushing his worries aside for later and joined her as she started running down the hall.

They went to turn down another corridor when they both ran straight into Martha. The Doctor caught Martha and Lucy as they stumbled back and asked astonished, "What are you doing here?"

Martha replied, equally as astonished, "Returning this," She held out his sonic screwdriver and he broke out into a grin as she continued, "I thought you might need it,"

Lucy smiled at martha before she looked back behind her to see if Lazarus had caught up with them.

"How did you find us?" The Doctor asked incredulously as he took the sonic back.

Martha looked between the two and laughed, "I heard the explosion and guessed it was you,"

The Doctor gestured between Lucy and himself, "We blasted Lazarus," he explained simply.

Martha looked relieved as she asked, "Did you kill him?"

Lucy shook her head just as Lazarus came roaring round the corner and the Doctor replied, "More annoyed him I would say."

He pushed both women in front of him as they began to sprint down the corridor. Lucy couldn't help but wonder how she was keeping up with all the running. She pegged it to just being apart of the dream and steeled herself for what was coming next.

They ran back into the reception hall and the Doctor and Martha looked around the room desperately as they looked for a way out. Lucy ran straight over to Lazarus' machine that was still standing in the middle of the room and grunted as she yanked the door open. The noise made the other two turn and the Doctor broke into a grin when he saw her and praised, "Good idea Lucy," He then ushed both women inside before pulling the door closed after them just as Lazarus burst into the room.

There had been barely enough room for the Doctor and Martha in the chamber on the show, and now with the three of them squished in, they could barely breathe. Lucy felt a bit uncomfortable being pressed so close to the Doctor but she managed to push it down somewhat.

"Are we hiding?" Martha whispered asking both Lucy and the Doctor what they were doing.

"No. He knows we're here, But i'm willing to bet he won't destroy his masterpiece. Even to get at us. Right Lucy?" The Doctor asked and turned his head to look at Lucy to see her biting her lip and her eyes squeezed shut.

"Lucy?" The Doctor asked, and Lucy just nodded her head slightly as there wasn't much room to do anything with her face pressed right up against his shoulder.

"But we're trapped!" Martha exclaimed, unaware of Lucy's discomfort.

The Doctor became momentarily distracted as Lazarus growled outside and replied, "Well. That's only a slight problem."

"You mean you don't have a plan," Martha asked annoyed.

"Since when does he ever have a plan?" Lucy replied tightly.

"The plan was to get in here," The Doctor retorted at Lucy before Martha asked, "Then what?"

"Then i'd come up with another plan," The Doctor replied simply as Lucy scoffed.

Martha rolled her eyes and retorted, "In your own time then,"

The Doctor then tried to reach into his jacket to pull out his sonic. Somehow, he managed to get his arm stuck between Lucy and Martha. He sighed as he asked, "Lucy, would you…"

He gestured to his pocket briefly and Lucy sucked in a breath. She slowly wiggled her arm up from her side and managed to retrieve the sonic from the Doctor's pocket after digging around in it. Who ever thought pockets that were bigger on the inside were a good idea.

The Doctor thanked her and started to slowly shimmy his way to the ground. After limbs getting tangled and faces being smacked, he finally managed to reach the floor after apologising profusely the entire way down. The Doctor then tried to open a panel on the floor that Lucy was standing on. In order to get the panel open, Lucy had to stand awkwardly on either side of the panel while the Doctor worked between her legs.

Martha broke the unbearable awkward silence by asking, "I still don't understand where that thing came from. Is it alien?"

"No," the Doctor replied, "For once it's strictly human in origin," he finished as he tinkered with some of the wires.

"Human? How can that thing be human?" Martha asked incredulously, not believing the Doctor.

"Probably from dormant genes in lazarus' DNA" He replied, looking up briefly before returning to his work. "The energy field in this thing must have reactivated them. Now it looks like they're becoming dominant," he finished as he glanced to the side as Lazarus growled right outside the chamber.

"So it's a throwback," Martha breathed.

"Some option evolution rejected for you millions of years ago," the Doctor corrected, "but the potential is still there. Locked away in your genes, forgotten about. But Lazarus unlocked it by mistake," he finished bitterly.

Suddenly, a blue light came on inside the capsule and the machine started to hum. "Doctor what's happening," Martha asked worriedly as Lucy whimpered.

"Looks like he's switched the machine on," the Doctor said as he paused to listen to the machine. "I was hoping it was going to take him a little bit longer to work that out," the Doctor finished as he hurriedly tried to finish tinkering with the wiring.

"I don't want to hurry you but…" Martha started.

The Doctor yelled back at her, "I know I know. Nearly done!" as he soniced the last few wires.

"What are you doing!" Martha asked desperately as she started to panic.

"I'm trying to set the capsule to reflect energy rather than receive it" the doctor answered hurriedly.

"Will that kill him?" Martha questioned with a hint of hope in her voice.

Before the Doctor could reply, Lucy answered instead so he could concentrate on what he was doing. "When he transformed himself he tripled in size. Cellular Triplication. He's spreading himself thin,"

Even though this is a dream, it feels very real, Lucy though as the machine sped around them.

Suddenly, the Doctor gave a triumphant yell as the machine gave a flash and then powered down. Lucy opened the door and they all stepped out wearily.

"I really thought we were going to go through the blender then," Martha breathed out as she stepped off the platform.

"It shouldn't have taken that long to reverse the polarity. I must be a bit out of practice…" the Doctor replied almost to himself as he gazed about the room.

"You think?" Lucy questioned weakly as her eyes made their way to the form lying at the edge of the room.

They all made their way over to the wrangled body and stood in front of Lazarus as they gazed down at him pitifully. Lucy closed her eyes and looked away as she felt a wave of sadness fall over her while the other two stared on sadly at the broken form below them.

…

The Doctor, Martha and Lucy made their way down the steps at the front of the building in momentary sadness. They watched dejectedly as the paramedics rolled a gurney away covered with a blanket and pulled it into an ambulance. Lucy had tears in her eyes as she stared after Lazarus and remembered how he dies.

How he dies Lucy thought. Her head shot up as she remembered the deaths to come and the scene at the cathedral. She turned to the Doctor and said urgently, "Doctor. Lazarus,"

He turned to her and saw the fear in her eyes. "What is it Lucy?" he asked quickly with a growing fear of his own.

She is about to answer him when she felt a tingling in her fingers that spread to her whole body. She looked down at her hands and saw a bright light starting to envelop them.

"What?" she whispered confusedly.

The Doctor looked down at her sadly before saying, "I guess this is goodbye," Then his face turned questioning as he remembered the comment she had made moments earlier. "What did you mean, Lazarus?" he asked.

Lucy looked back up at him urgently as the light began to fill her vision.

"He's not dead. The paramedics, you have to save them!" She pleaded. But just as the light completely filled her vision, she heard a crash and new she was too late. Sadness filled her as she was transported away for the second time.
