Chapter 4: Saving the World

I don't own Doctor Who whatsoever BBC does, and I'm just a fan with an idea.

Avery's POV

Amy and Rory left to track down Prisoner Zero while I went with the Doctor to the Angelo home. He and I walked into the house, easily finding Jeff's bedroom. "Hello! Laptop. Gimme." The Doctor said as he crossed the room and tried to prise the laptop away from Jeff, who was trying to cover the screen, and keep it away from the Doctor. Unsuccessfully. The Doctor snatched it away from him and sits down on the edge of the bed, then looks at the screen. Jeff looked over his shoulder warily, as the Doctor's eyes widen. "...Blimey! Get a girlfriend, Jeff." I laughed as I realised what could be on that screen, looking up at the ceiling as I stood from the doorway. Mrs. Angelo entered, "Gran!" Jeff protested to the sudden audience in his room. I walked in and sat next to the Doctor to see what he was doing. He was typing hurriedly typing. "What are you doing?" Mrs. Angelo asked

"Sun's gone wibbly, so right now, somewhere out there, there's gonna be a big old video conference call. All the experts in the world, panicking at once, and d'you know what they need? Me. Ah, and here they all are. All the big boys. NASA, Jodrell Bank, Tokyo Space Center, Patrick Moore." The Doctor answered

"Oh! I like Patrick Moore!" Mrs. Angelo said excitedly

"I'll get you his number, but watch him, he's a devil." He replied, I laughed.

"You can't just hack in on a call like that!" Jeff proclaimed I gave him a look.

"Can't I?" The Doctor said as he suddenly stopped typing and held his special paper up to the webcam on top of the computer. On the screen were 6 different boxes, each with a different person representing a different place. Obviously that special paper worked somehow, because voices come out of the laptop. "Who are you? This is a secure call, what are you doing?"

"Hello. Yeah, I know, you should switch me off, but before you do, watch this." The Doctor replied as he started to type rapidly, he was showing them at the same time just what he was doing. "Fermat's Theorem, the proof, and I mean the real one, never been seen before, poor Fermat got killed in a duel before he could write it down. My fault. I slept in. Oh, and here's an oldie but a goodie, why electrons have mass, and a personal favourite of mine, faster than light travel with two diagrams and a joke." He stopped typing and added "Look at your screens. Whoever I am, I'm a genius. Look at the sun. You need all the help you can get. Fellas - pay attention."

"Sir! What are you doing?!" a random voice asked

The Doctor begun to type fast on Rory's phone and as he did so he said what he was doing. "I am writing a computer virus, very clever, super fast, and a tiny bit alive, but don't let on. And why am I writing it on a phone? Never mind. You'll find out. Okay, I'm sending this to all your computers. Get everyone who works for you sending this everywhere. Email, text, FaceBook, Bebo, Twitter, radar dish. Whatever you've got, any questions?"

"Who was your lady friend?" Patrick Moore asked, I laughed as I knew he was talking about Jeff's grandmother.

"Patrick, behave." The Doctor answered

"What does this virus do?" Another unknown voice asked

"Oh, it's a reset command, that's all, it resets counters, it gets in the wi-fi and resets every counter it can find. Clocks, calendars, anything with a chip will default at zero at exactly the same time. But yeah, I could be lying, why should you trust me? I'll let my best man explain." The Doctor answered and then there was a pause as he waited. Jeff was still staring curiously over our shoulders. The Doctor waits and then slowly turned to Jeff, whispering "Jeff. You're my best man."
