Magical Mix-Up - A Doctor Who/Legends of Tomorrow Crossover

Chapter 10

"Rory," the Doctor said the moment they were in the TARDIS and the door was closed. "How close to the surface is the Centurion right now?"

The darkness in Rory's eyes answered his question before Rory stated coldly. "Very."

Amy frowned. "What does that mean?"

"It means your husband is hanging on to his sanity by a thread," the Doctor replied. "Honestly, how did you keep everything in check with all those memories running through your head?"

Taking slow deep breaths, Rory shrugged. "I had to."

The Doctor shook his head with a proud smile. "Roranicus Pondicus, you truly are like no one else I have ever known."

"Not sure that's a compliment or not," Rory murmured. Sitting and dropping his head into his hands, rubbing his temples against the building migraine he'd kept at bay for the past few hours. Now he was able to relax, Rory was losing control.

Amy crouched at his side. "Doctor?"

"I need you to hold onto Rory," the Doctor told her. "Just give him a connection to who he is while I get what I need to help him rebuild and fortify the walls around the memories."

She nodded and rested a hand on Rory's cheek making him look up at her.

"Hey stupid," she told him archly. "Don't you dare leave me. Not after everything I did to find you."

Rory smiled slightly. "I wouldn't dare."

"I love you," Amy murmured, sliding her hand into his. "All you have to do is hold on to me."

"Always have," Rory whispered. "Ever since we were kids."

Amy kissed him, pulling her husband close to her and held tightly.

"Alright you two," the Doctor's voice made them break apart. "I said give him a connection not," he grimaced with mock distaste, "Kissing."

Chuckling, Amy deliberately kissed Rory again before looking up innocently at her best friend.

The Doctor rolled his eyes before placing a small metal circlet on Rory's head. "Remember how we did this the first time?"

Rory nodded.

"The TARDIS will help strengthen the walls," the Doctor reminded him, explaining for Amy's benefit. "But you have to build them first. Ready?"

Rory nodded, his hand holding Amy's while the Doctor took his other hand.

"Okay," the Doctor said. "Start with the first brick. Use your mantra."

Taking a slow deep breath, Rory started. "Amy, Melody, Home."

Gideon stood facing Rip once they were alone on the bridge.

"I have to admit," Rip spoke up finally. "I did not expect to find you like this when I finally made it back."

Laughing softly, Gideon admitted, "Neither did I. Mr. Constantine was trying to perform a protection spell on an item from Themiscrya. I warned against performing it within the confines of the Waverider, but Miss Lance wanted it done as quickly as possible. And..." she spread out her arms. "Here I am."

"You look..." he walked towards her and gently rested his hand on her cheek. "You're beautiful."

A soft blush covered Gideon's cheeks. "Do you think so?"

Gently stroking her hair back, Rip nodded. "I've always thought so."

Gideon stepped into him, wrapping her arms around his waist hugging him tightly. "I thought you were never coming back to me. I felt so empty without you."
