Electra’s POV

   We left the storage room when the coast was clear and circled back around behind the guards so they wouldn’t know where we had really come from. We slowed to a walk and joined hands looking just as relaxed and deep in conversation with each other as possible.

    The guards rounded the corner and stopped dead in their tracks when they saw us. “There you are! Commander Oswald has been looking for you.” The man said and me and the Doctor exchanged looks. Commander Oswald? What has Clara been up to?

    We were ushered through Torchwood and eventually arrived at an office door, the guards moved to the side as me and the Doctor opened the door and walked in. Clara was sitting at the desk, and Rick sat across from her his feet resting on the desk before him.

    They were both in military fatigues and looked very well serious compared to me and the Doctor, I was still wearing shorts and a cropped off top while the Doctor was in pajama bottoms and a Torchwood t-shirt.

   “You two really need some new clothes.” Clara said and Rick nodded his agreement. Clara pushed a button on her desk and demanded clothes be sent to our room. Then she looked at us again.

     “The Doctor and Electra, what are we going to do with you two eh? Are you still capable of saving the world after 65 years with nothing to do but hang out on the beach?” She asked and me and the Doctor stared at her.

    “For your information, we didn’t live on the beach the ENTIRE TIME!” The Doctor said and I smiled. “We lived lots of places actually.” I said and it was the Doctor’s turn to nod.

     “Well you can add apocalyptic wasteland to the list.” Rick said and Clara shot him a look. “Were going up to the surface, there was a patrol of cybermen seen wandering into our territory earlier… were going to go and wipe them out.” Clara said and me and the Doctor stood in stunned silence.

    Since when has Clara been this shoot em up at will kinda girl? Sure she was always fine with shooting stuff when she had to but she was never eager to just blow things away, that was me and Rick’s department.

    “Are you two coming with us?” Rick asked and me and the Doctor looked at each other before nodding our heads. “Well then, go suit up and meet us in the hangar.” Clara said as me and the Doctor quickly left the room.

    When we arrived back at our room we took in the drab military fatigues before us and immediately left the room to go on a wardrobe hunt. We went into the TARDIS and found our bedrooms with the help of our trusty torches.

    The clothes in our closets were dusty, but wearable and definitely more fashionable than the military fatigues. I got changed into a pair of combat pants and boots a black ribbed tank and one of my trusty leather jackets. I grabbed my aviators off of the dresser and slipped them on my head as I went to go and find the Doctor.

    When I found him he was just stepping out of his bedroom in his old attire, consisting of a tweed jacket and that silly bow tie of his. He looked at me and beamed. “Bow ties are cool.” He said happily as he adjusted it and I rolled my eyes.

   “Sure keep telling yourself that.” I replied as we left the dead TARDIS. We made our way out to the hangar where the rest of the team stood in their drab uniforms. “I told you they would never wear the uniforms.” I heard Rick whisper to Clara and Jack chuckled beside them.

    “Are we ready to go?” The Doctor asked and Clara gave him a look. “We would be if you were dressed properly.” She replied and the Doctor frowned. “Awww come on Clara! You should know we were never going to wear those silly outfits.” The Doctor said and I nodded.

    “Clara, chill it will be fine okay?” Jack said quietly and Clara took a deep breath then nodded. “Get into the jeeps everyone!” Rick said and me and the Doctor followed after him as he motioned for us to join him in his jeep.

   He climbed into the passenger seat and looked at me. “You are driving, you drive better than anyone I know.” He said and I smiled. It was true, I was a terribly good driver and I knew London like the back of my hand, even an apocalyptic one.

   I climbed into the driver’s seat and started it up as the Doctor climbed in behind me. “Take is easy though okay?” Rick said and I nodded. There was about four jeeps including us in our little excursion and we were second from the front.

     Jack and Clara were in the first jeep with a guard in the back, then me, Rick, the Doctor, and a guard. And then a total of eight guards in the two remaining jeeps. We set out nice and slow patrolling for the Cybermen.

   We were about five miles from the base when we heard a whirring sound, we looked up as a breeze started to blow and saw a hovercraft of some sort flying towards us. “Since when do Cybermen fly?” The Doctor exclaimed as I looked behind me and up, only to find that the mysterious hovercraft was being flown by that platoon of Cybermen Clara was talking about.

     “Since you two have been gone for 11 years!” Rick yelled as he got on the radio and all of the jeeps started to take off, the guards firing at the hovercraft as they went. “Electra… drive.” Rick said and I nodded as I punched the gas and took off.

    I had inherited my driving skills from my Mother, and Rick knew that which was why he was letting me drive. “You always could drive like it was freaking formula one!” He yelled as him and the guard shot at the hovercraft.

     “We need to get behind them! Hang on!” I yelled as I pulled the handbrake and executed a perfect J turn. We passed the jeeps that were behind us and I spun a J turn again so we were now following behind the hovercraft.

   The back of the hovercraft was less guarded than the front, and Rick and the guard got off a few good shots as we drove. “Don’t you have a way to bring it down?” I heard the Doctor ask and Rick shook his head.

    “No! Well we never were able to build anything powerful enough to bring the craft down without people dying!” He said and the Doctor nodded. As I drove I started to rack by brain for a way to bring the craft down, and finally it hit me.

    “Doctor! A sonic bomb should do it!” I yelled back to him and his head popped up right next to mine. “But I don’t have the stuff to build a sonic bomb.” I handed him my sonic screwdriver and he looked at me. “Now I can build a sonic bomb.”

    He sat back down in his seat and set to work, five minutes later he appeared beside me again. “Ta da!” He revealed his device happily. “Don’t show it to me! Give it to Rick!” I yelled as he nodded and stood up next to Rick.

    He talked close to him and I couldn’t hear what they were saying, but I saw Rick take the device and chuck it, it landed on the deck of the hovercraft. I slammed on the brakes sending everyone flying to the floor as the hovercraft exploded.

    “Woo hooo!” Rick hollered as he was the first one to recover. Me and the Doctor gave each other beaming grins as Rick and the guard celebrated. Rick got on the radio and informed the rest of the platoon who rejoined us a few minutes later.

    “How did you manage to bring it down Seers?” Jack asked and Rick beamed proudly. “Only with the help of everyone’s favorite Time Lords.” Rick said and I felt the Doctor’s hand encircle mine.

    A/N Hehehee what did you all think?! There was some action, adventure, the Doc and Electra being Epic! Everything you need in a good Who fic right? I was going to post a pic to the side of this.... but its not working so no pic sorry guys!
