Reconcile (Doctor Who X Tenth Doctor)

Chapter 13: Cybermen

A/N This is probably the fastest i've ever finished writing up an episode before. I think it's because I let everything happening with Mickey and Rose happen sort of behind the scenes though. Let me know what you think in the comments! I've been loving see your reactions lately! - DLConter

The party commenced and the Tylers split away from each other. Rose splits away and heads towards Jackie. Katie goes to stop her but is swiftly pulled away by the Prince. She noticed they were following the Doctor back to an office area.

The Doctor opened the laptop and went to take the seat before it, but the Prince slid in before him, pulling the keyboard closer to himself as he began clicking away.

The Doctor's brow furrowed and he looked like he was going to say something before Katie place a hand on his arm and spoke. "I certainly hope you're wrong."

The Doctor glanced between the pair. "You felt something was off too?"

"I know somethings off," The Prince scuffed. "Cybus Industries has been having regular meetings with the President to push for Britain's upgrade." The Prince glanced up at the Doctor, offering him a tight smile. Katie sensed the boy was actually uncomfortable in the Doctor's presence. "I came tonight to get into Pete's files. I think his companies been helping."

A knot formed in the pit of the Doctor's stomach. Even if he's a parallel version, any image of her father plotting something as despicable as this may ruin her.

"Got something!" The Prince pressed the play button and a presentation began to play.

A middle aged white man with dark hair appeared on the screen appearing quite full of himself. He smiled. "The most precious thing on this Earth is the human brain..."

The Doctor, Prince, and Katie all watched moods damping as it came to the already obvious climax.

"This is the ultimate upgrade. Our greatest step into cyberspace."

"Cybers." The Doctor whispered.

Outside, heavy metal could be heard crunching on top of the gravel. The Prince shot up and went to the window. "Alright. We need a plant."

"Rose." The Doctor was out the door in an instance.

The Prince frowned as he watched him go. He looked at Katie. "How's the marriage, Katie?"

Katie glared at him as they raced out of the room after the Doctor. "Not the time."

"I'm just saying, I didn't realize you weren't my mum because I could feel the psychic dominance radiating off of you. I don't feel it on him."

"Not every King or Queen is cursed." Katie spit before her eyes locked onto Rose. She let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. The Doctor was on the opposite side of the room stilling looking for her. Everyone else in the room was panicking, running about, and screaming.

"Rose, it's happening again."

The Doctor finally saw the other time travelers and started to make his way over.

The blonde frowned. Her breathing was cool and even, not phased much by the situation at hand. She was ready for battle. "What do you mean?"

"I've seem them before. They're called Cybermen. They –" Katie was cut off by the Cybermen smashing through a series of windows on the opposite wall. Cybermen began to flood the room.
