The Bizarre Adventures of Doctor Who

Library of the Damned Pt. 4

The two stared at the man proclaiming himself as the Doctor, stunned as he looked at them with conviction.

Tilting her head, Lila echoed, "The Doctor?"

Nodding, the Doctor stated that he's as such and Lila turned towards Theodore with a quizzical look, he shared the same look.

"Well, uh, Doc, I gotta ask, how do you figure your dad's an alien?" Lila inquired more about the Doctor's quest on finding out about his father.

He tells her, "Why else do I have two hearts?"

Blinking slowly, Lila responded with, "Um, I dunno, polluted environment, defect, any number of things."

The Doctor then added, "I can read minds, too."

Lila doubted him and he challenged her. She accepted and she cast a thought for him to read and he crinkled his nose as he responded to it with, "You're mean!"

Snorting, Lila dryly told him, "I never said I was nice, did I?"

Got him there and the Doctor acknowledged it before Theodore called his attention.

"Two hearts and you can read minds?" Theodore asks him.

Nodding, the Doctor told him that he could read minds as early as ten. Couldn't explain it well and his mum had no idea. He hoped he could use his newfound ability to find out more about his father. Unfortunately, his mum never told him anything about his father or had any thoughts.

"Well, I can help you in some regard," Theodore tells the Doctor. "You're part-Time Lord."

The Doctor asked him how he figures and Theodore told him that he's one, too. Showed him too, read a bit of his mind and it excited the Doctor.

"Oh, fantastic, then you might know him?" the Doctor looked excited, but Theodore told him that he didn't know anyone.

All the Time Lords he knew looked down on humans more than anything, if anyone had a son with a human woman, he didn't know him.

"So, you think Basil might've written something about your dad indirectly in your mom's biography?" Lila summed why the Doctor worked with the alien and he nodded as he told her that it was the plan.

Due to the alien writing humans longer than the Doctor's been alive, tracking down his mother's biography proved difficult. He'd think the alien wouldn't have difficultly, but the sight of the library, it's excusable why Basil couldn't easily find it.

"Hold on, how'd you get here?" Theodore inquired how the Doctor came to the library and the Doctor snorted before he replied that he came in his trusty TARDIS.

A chance meeting with it, unbelievably, the Doctor found it in a rubbish yard, completely abandoned.

Looked rough and he wouldn't think anything of it until he randomly rattled the handle and it opened.

Poked his head in, saw the interior, had to go around the TARDIS more than once before it finally set with him, and it went from there.

"Innit this the part where you tell him?" Lila telepathically called out to Theodore.

Theodore acknowledges it and he tells the Doctor that he is also the Doctor.

Not surprisingly, the Doctor didn't believe him, until he showed him his Sonic Screwdriver.

Raising his bushy brow at the sight, the Doctor remarked that Theodore couldn't be the Doctor.

Theodore asks, "Did you find the book?"
