[Spaceship]
The Dalek turns to the Alchemist, "You know the Doctor. You understand him. You will predict his actions."
She shrugs, arms crossed, "Do I know? They tend to be a bit... unpredictable," she smirks, "Besides, even if I did, I still wouldn't tell you."
"Predict! Predict! Predict!" the Dalek orders.
"Nope!" she grins.
Another alerts, "TARDIS detected in flight."
"Launch missiles. Exterminate."
'Turn on the extrapolator yet?' the Alchemist calls out.
'Of course,' The Time Lady hears and calmly uncrosses her arms, preparing.
The Dalek turns to her, "He will be Exterminated!"
"Yeah, good luck with that," she scoffs.
"Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!" they chant, making the Time Lady roll her eyes.
[TARDIS]
"We've got incoming!" Jack calls out.
The Dalek missiles strike the TARDIS but have no effect.
Jack grins, "The extrapolator's working. We've got a fully functional forcefield. Try saying that when you're drunk."
"And for my next trick," the Doctor smirks.
The TARDIS materializes around the Alchemist and a Dalek.
"Get down! All of you get down!" the Time Lady shouts, and they duck.
"Exterminate!" it calls out.
The Dalek fires and misses. Jack shoots the Dalek with his modified Defabricator.
Rose smiles, "Good job."
"Thanks," Jack replies.
The Doctor hugs the Alchemist tightly and kisses her forehead.
She pulls back, "They were real scared of me!"
"I told you I'd come and get you," he replies, relieved.
She shrugs, "Never doubted it; besides, like I said, terrified of the scary ginger lady."
"I did, and we'll be discussing that. You alright? Promise?" he frowns.
"Later pile," The Alchemist nods, "Yeah, I'm always fine. You?"
The Time Lord rolls his eyes, embracing her again, "Not bad, been better."
"Hey, don't I get a hug?" Jack asks with a pout.
Rose laughs and goes to him, "Oh, come here!"
He shrugs, "I was talking to them."
Jack hugs Rose and pats her back.
"Welcome home, Allycat," he calls over Rose's shoulder.
"I wouldn't say that yet; I'm still unsure if they'll listen," she winces, "I gave them an ultimatum that I can't confirm I can do it or not yet."
"What do you mean?" asks Rose.
She sighs, "My abilities can defeat them, but I can't use them to that extent right now on my own and they're working out payment."
Rose frowns in confusion, not understanding who 'they' could be.
"Well, still, you were lucky. That was just a one-shot wonder. Drained the gun of all its power supply. Now it's just a piece of junk." Jack complains and drops the gun.
