Hello Readers! welcome back to another chapter! Two this week! This one is a shorter than the last one, but that's because of formatting stuff, It was all going to be one chapter but it wasn't letting me update with that big of a file. I guess 4 thousand words is too big! Oh well. Also please do excuse any mistakes. I didn't get a chance to read through this before I posted it. Please let me know it you find any and i'll try and fix them as soon as can.

Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who, I only own my oc's and plot/ideas.

I hope you all enjoy!

Lucy awoke soaking wet on a cold metal floor with the Doctor leaning over her.

"You alright?" he asked as he helped her sit up. She rubbed her head from the throbbing she felt, but nodded in reply. He helped her stand up before quickly checking on AMy and the captain.

"Where are we?" Amy asked in a hushed voice.

"We haven't moved," the Doctor said as he looked around, "We're in exactly the same place as before,"

"We're on a ghost ship," the Captain said as they all looked out a huge window which looked out onto the deck of the ship the were on moments ago.

"No, it's real," The Doctor said, "A spaceship trapped in a temporal rift,"

"How can two ships be in the same place?" Amy asked confused.

"Not the same. Two planes, two worlds. Two cars parked in the same space." He explained, "There are lots of different universes nested inside each other. Every now and again they collide, and you can step from one to the other,"

"Okay. I understand," Amy said as she nodded her head.

"Good. because it's not like that at all, but if that helps," the Doctor said with a gesture of his hands.

Lucy rolled her eyes at that as Amy said sarcastically, " Thanks,"

"All the reflections have suddenly become gateways," the Doctor stepped forward with a awed look on his face. He grabbed a bit of metal from the floor and chucked it at the glass to prove his point, and they all watched as it cluttered to the deck.

"Ever look in a mirror and think you're seeing a whole other world? Well this time it's not an illusion," He finished as he took a step back.

Suddenly something started beeping. Everyone turned around and the Doctor reached for Lucy's hand. She was slightly surprised at the action but didn't pull away as they all started for some stairs that lead to another part of the ship.

"A signal," Amy stated after listening to the pulsing for a moment.

"Yep," the Doctor answered wearily.

"A distress call?" Amy asked as they climbed the stairs slowly.

"Uh huh," the Doctor nodded as he reached the top of the stairs and began inspecting a door.

"There was a second ship here all the time?" Amy asked, still disbelieving as she looked around.

"And the siren is on board," the Doctor said as they heard her song echoing from somewhere in the ship.

The Doctor pressed a button and the door slid open to reveal an alien right behind it. They all jumped back in fright before the Doctor confirmed, "Dead,"

He slowly made his way forward and inched past the skeleton before everyone else followed.

He led them down a corridor until they reached a control room with two dead aliens sitting in by the control desk. The Doctor let go of Lucy's hand to inspect one of the dead aliens. He pulled out his sonic and scanned it while the others looked around the room. The window in here looked out into the Captain's quarters.

"You were right. There was something staring at us the whole time!" Amy said incredulously. "How long has this ship been marooned here?"

"Long enough for the captain to have run out of grog," The Captain answered.

"I don't understand. If this is the captain, the what's the siren?" Amy asked,

Lucy was about to answer when she thought better of it and thought it would be best for them to figure it out on their own.

"Same as us, a stowaway," the Doctor answered distractedly as he read the readings off the sonic.

"She killed it," Amy half asked, half stated, slightly disgusted with the siren

"Human bacteria," the Doctor corrected.

"What?" Amy asked in confusion.

"A virus from our planet, airborne. Travelling through the portal," the Doctor explained as he pocketed his sonic, "That's what killed it. Didn't get it ja...bs,"

Lucy had to bite her cheeks to keep from laughing as the Doctor groaned, "Ahh, look,"

"What is it?" Amy asked confused.

"Sneeze! Alien bogeys," the Doctor cringed.

At that Lucy let out a small chuckle and the Doctor spun on her, "Hey! It's not funny!"

Lucy bit her cheeks again but couldn't help but smile at the disgusted look on the Doctor's face. He sighed and walked back out of the room, but not before he wiped his hand on Amy's jackets, earning a disgusted look from her.

There walked back down the corridor and found themselves in some sort of monitoring bay. There were plastic sheets hanging from the ceiling and lots of bed hovering around the room with people lying on them. The Doctor did a quick scan with the sonic as Amy and the Captain wandered around the room.

"Mcgrath," The Captain said, pointing to one of the men lying on a bed, "He's one of my men,"

"He's still breathing," Amy said as she looked at the readings that were being shown on a screen on the side of the bed.

"Toby!" the Captain exclaimed as he spotted his son.

"Rory!" Amy yelled as she spotted him lying a few beds away and ran to him.

"The Tardis!" the Doctor exclaimed in relief as he ran and hugged the blue box.

Lucy just stood there, staring at the Tardis with wide eyes. The Doctor watched as she slowly made her way over and placed her hand on the painted wood. As soon as she touched the Tardis, a soft hum sounded from inside and she felt a warm presence in her mind. Lucy gasped and pulled her hand back. She took a step back and stared up at the Tardis in amazement. She felt the Tardis in her mind.

"It's real," Lucy whispered.

The Doctor looked at her in surprise, "What?"

"It's real," she repeated in amazement, "It's all real!"

The Doctor beamed at her and she laughed. '

"You're real!" Lucy laughed, "And Amy's real, and Rory's real, and…" she trailed off.

Lucy looked over to where Amy was bent worriedly over an unconscious Rory, lying on a bed.

Lucy made her way over to them and put her hand on the red heads shoulder.

"We have to get them out of here," the Captain said as he stood by Toby.

"Wait!" the Doctor said before he pulled out his sonic and scanned Toby.

"His fever's gone, the Doctor said.

He walked over to Rory and scanned him as well.

"He looks so well." Amy stated as she looked over Rory.

"She's keeping him alive," the Doctor said amazed.

"His brain is synaptic but all its cellular activity is suspended. It's not a curse," The Doctor pulled out a petri dish he'd found earlier and turned over Rory's hand, "It's a tissue sample," the Doctor said as he compared Rory's hand with the skin sample on the dish.

"Why get samples of people you're about to kill?" he asked.

"Help be get him up?" Amy asked.

The Doctor pocketed his sonic before going to help amy. Something started beeping and they all froze as the sirens voice got closer.

"She's coming," the Doctor said before he ran over to Lucy and pulled her behind a stand with him. The others followed just before the siren entered the room.

She walked over the where Rory was waking up and starting to panic. She waved her hand over his face and sang to him until he stilled and went back to sleep.

"Anesthetic," the Doctor realised.

Lucy nodded at him as the Captain asked, "What?"

"The music, the song. So she anesthetizes people then puts their body in stasis," he explained.

The siren moved over to where Toby was and the Captain pulled his revolver. The Siren turned and screeched as she turned red. The Doctor ran around to stand away from the Captain as the Siren began walking towards the Captain.

The Doctor sneezed and the Siren turned to him with fire in her hands.

"Fire. That's new. What does fire do," The thought out loud as the Siren advanced on him, "Burns, yes. Destroy. What else?"

"Sterilises!" Lucy yelled from where she was standing as the Doctor ran out of room to back away.

"Ah!" the Doctor realised, he got out a hanky as he said, "Yes, sterilise! I've got germs!"

He blew his nose and threw the hanky on the floor just as the siren reached him. She turned and blasted the cloth with fire. While the siren was distracted, Amy had run over to Rory and started to unplug him.

"Amy, stop. Don't interfere. Don't touch him!" The Doctor yelled as he rambled, "Anesthetic, tissue samples, screens, sterile working conditions. Ignore all my previous theories!"

"Yea, well we stopped paying attention a while back!" Amy yelled annoyed, still trying to unhook Rory.

"She's not a killer at all! She's a Doctor!" he yelled.

Amy stepped back when she heard that and the siren returned to her normal green colour. Lucy walked over to join Amy as she stood there looking completely bewildered.

"This is an automated sickbay!" the Doctor exclaimed. "It's teleporting everyone on board. The crew are dead, so the sick bay had nothing to do. It's been looking after humanity while it's been idle. Look at her! A virtual doctor, able to sterilise a whole room,"

"Able to burn your face off!" Amy said slightly annoyed.

"She's just an interface. Seeped through the join between the planes, broadcast in our world. Protein circuitry, means she can change her form and become a human doctor for humans. Oh! Sister you are good!" The Doctor smiled as he finished explaining.

Lucy smiled at the Doctor as he finally worked it out.

"Uh, Doctor," the Captain said

"Hmm?" he asked as he turned around. The Captain pointed at Lucy where a light had just started to form around around her.

The Doctor frowned "I guess you're off then. I had hoped you'd stay a little longer,"

Lucy looked Down at herself and saw the light forming around her, "But Doctor, I don't understand. Why do I do this?" Lucy asked, gesturing to the light that was quickly growing.

He smiled at her before saying, "Spoilers,"

The last thing Lucy saw before she was completely enveloped by the light was the Doctor's sad smile.
