As both Martha and the Doctor found themselves within an alley way in a much different location, they groaned in a painful manner the moment they arrived. "Oooh, I want to die." she groaned in misery, feeling more sick than when she got food poisoning four years previous.

"I know, right. Time travel without a capsule is a bitch and a half." they suddenly heard Echo say from down the alley way.

Without hesitation, the Doctor ran to her in relief and pulled her into a hug and kissed her all over her face. "We were so worried." he said between kisses. "When you didn't come back, I knew something had happened."

She giggled with great amusement. "I'm just glad we were all touched by the same angel. I've been here about an hour or so. I've already got us a place to crash, so no worries."

"Angel? What do you mean?" Martha asked in great confusion.

"Well, we're up against the Weeping Angels. Creatures made of stone when in the sight of any living being. Even themselves. Complete and utter asshats who feed off potential energy. They send you off to the past and make you live to death. Quite rude." Echo explained, basking in the love of her beloved.

"Right. That's a lot." their companion mumbled, unable to process the information through her sick feeling.

"Don't worry, Martha. You don't have to keep up on them." the Doctor said with a smile of relief still painting his features.

Slowly walking towards them, Martha felt an intense urge to lay down and sleep off her illness. "You said you had a place to crash at?"

Echo nodded, "Yep, it's one of my hide away holes. I set them up for when I need to, well, hide away." She then gestured for them to follow as she held her lover's hand. "Come along. It's not too far. Only a block or two."


After walking for ten to fifteen minutes through the streets, they eventually came to a hole-in-the-wall bar that they walked into without hesitation. Upon entry, they found the establishment to be filled with drifters, bikers, prostitutes and the like. Though when the bartender noticed them, she came over with a massive grin. "Hey, girl! Been awhile since I've seen you in these parts. Whatchya been up to?" The woman was tall, black and all smiles. She was dressed in a black tang-top, ripped jeans and biker boots. Her hair was long and naturally curled. Everything about her screamed 'beautiful and dangerous'.

"What's up, Bree? Kinda got stuck here without a ride. You know how that goes." Echo greeted and gave her love in return.

When she noticed the others standing beside her, interest immediately shot through her. "Mm-mm-mm. Who are these? One hot as all hell and one tall, dark and handsome. You always know how to pick 'em."

Echo chuckled and nodded. "I know, right? This beauty is Martha. And this hot slice of pie would be the Doctor. But hands off, now. They're mine."

Bree raised her hands in surrender. "Have no fear. I'm busy tonight, anyways. I'll see you around, gorgeous." She then winked at Martha and went back to the bar to get to work once again.

"Oh, I love her." Echo mused, then gestured for them to follow again. They went into the back room and walked up a flight of stairs with a beaded doorway. When they walked through another door, they came upon what looked like a lounge built for the Queen. Well, the Queen of Bikers, that is.

"What is this place?" Martha asked with great interest and feeling very impressed.

"This, my loves, would be home away from home. The perfect place. Bar downstairs, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a massive lounge area to pass out drunk in when you can't reach the room. So? What do you think?" Echo asked with an amused smirk.
