Space Bound [1] ✅️

The Empty Child

Kayce got thrown to the floor walking out of her room, she rolled her eyes walking into the console room "what the bloody hell is going on?"

The Doctor grins at her "It's mauve."

Kayce gives him a questioning look "Mauve?" 

He nods at her "The universally recognized color for danger." 

Kayce snorts "What happened to red?"

"That's just humans. By everyone else's standards, red's camp. Oh, the misunderstandings. All those red alerts, all that dancing. It's got a very basic flight computer. I've hacked in and slaved the Tardis. Where it goes, we go."

Kayce nods "Okay then and that's safe, is it?" 

He gives her a grin "Totally." They hear a loud bang "Okay, reasonably. Should have said reasonably there. No, no, no, no! It's jumping time tracks, getting away from us."

Kayce lets out a snort of laughter at the answer she got "What exactly is this thing?" He shrugs "No idea." Kayce rolls her eyes "of course you don't.... so why are we chasing it?"

He gives her an are you serious look "It's mauve and dangerous, and about thirty seconds from the center of London."

Kayce nods grinning at him "Okay works for me" The Tardis materializes in a back alley between two terraces. The sort of crowded housing that no longer exists.

The Doctor looks at Kayce as they walk out of the Tardis "Do you know how long you can knock around space without happening to bump into Earth?" Kayce shrugs with a laugh "Five days? Or is that just when we're out of milk?"

"Of all the species in all the Universe and it has to come out of a cow." Kayce smirks at him "they could always milk a goat or something like that.... do they have cows in space? Space cows would be so much cooler than regular cows."

Something is watching them from above as the Doctor laughs "yes there are space cows" Kayce grins at him "you gotta take me to see the space cows next"

The Doctor laughs "Alright then, next is the space cows. Must have come down somewhere quite close. Within a mile, anyway. And it can't have been more than a few weeks ago. Maybe a month."

Kayce gives him a look "what the bloody hell? A month? But we were right behind it"

"It was jumping time tracks all over the place. We're bound to be a little bit out. Do you want to drive?" Kayce smirks at him "Yeah... I already told you that I wanted to learn how to fly the Tardis, so how much is a little?"

"A bit." was the answer she got, Kayce rolled her eyes at him "and Is that exactly a bit?" the doctor shrugs at her "Ish."

Kayce gives him a look before rolling her eyes again "What's the plan, then? Are you going to do a scan for alien tech or something?" The Doctor gives her a look "Kayce, it hit the middle of London with a very loud bang. I'm going to ask."

The Doctor shows Kayce his psychic paper ID for the occasion. "Doctor John Smith, Ministry of Asteroids." The Doctor nods at her "It's psychic paper. It tells you-" Kayce cuts him off " Whatever you want it to tell me, I remember."

They come to a door marked Deliveries Only.

"Sorry."

Kayce just smirks at him "Not very Spock, is it, just asking." but he doesn't really pay attention to her statement "Door, music, people. What do you think?" Kayce is still smirking at him "I think you should do a scan for alien tech. Give me some Spock, for once. Would it kill you?"

The Doctor opens the door with the sonic screwdriver and looks at Kayce's Union Flag top. "Are you sure about that t-shirt?"

She shrugs "Too early to say. I'm taking it out for a spin. I'll get back to you on that one"
