The Doctor

Benny and the Jets part 3

Elizabeth and The Doctor stared at Jeff, completely baffled at the revelation that he had just thrown onto them. He had to be lying. There was no way that Benny was anything like Charlotte. At the same time, maybe he was. But that would mean that there had to be another Time Lord around. The Doctor was unsure if there was technology other than what the Time Lords used.

"I've been keeping an eye on Benny for about a year now," Jeff began to explain. "The Nornods of Zorkza in the Platonium Galaxzy have been..."

"The Nornods?! No wonder why you guys are here!" Elizabeth yelled. "God, my sister worked out an alliance with them! They are horrible! They are all so handsome or beautiful as well! They make me sick!"

Jeff cocked his head to the side as he looked at Elizabeth. "Where are you from?" he whispered.

"Zordon," she replied confidently.

Jeff nodded his head before continuing. "Anyway...The Nornods have been chasing Benny for about five years. I'm the only one who has been able to get him away from them without them finding him. There's something about the atmosphere here that cause the Nornods tracking devices to not work.. They can't pick up on his location or anything about him. They can't even detect this planet! It's not a planet to them. I don't remember what I was told they see it as but it really is nothing in their eyes. I don't even think that they can step foot here! When I had been approached by The Black Widow to keep Benny safe, she told me that she would send us to a safe place. She had had this planned after her trip with The Doctor years ago. She found a way to get us here and set everything up for him to be in the position that he is in with this company and everything."

"You sound like you are from Texas," The Doctor said.

"It's the only accent that I was able to muster from a State. I didn't think that my actual accent would work out well for us. It would give us away that we were different. That we did not belong here. Texans, from the studies that I had made before I brought him here, seemed like they do belong in this grand city. All my story needed to be was that I was from a small town and I just needed to be in the biggest city as far from that place as possible. That seems to be the story for so many people out here! They want to get away from where they are currently at. They want to go somewhere where they can possibly 'make it', whatever that actually means. This city is one of the popular destinations it seems."

"Wait," Elizabeth said holding her hand up and standing to her feet. "Are you from Zordon too?"

Benny paced around his office. He needed to know what it was that Jeff was finding out for him. Maybe, just maybe, he was trying to convince them to take him to see Charlotte. But it seemed crazy, to him, what they had said about her being on a Space Station. That wasn't possible. She would have to be some sort of astronaut for that and she was his assistant. She had a law degree. Charlotte Evermore was not some astronaut who was married. There was just no way.

But then what happened to her? What did The Doctor and this new girl do to her? Benny was going crazy as he kept thinking about Charlotte. He just wanted Jeff to come in and tell him that he was going to see her again. He would even be alright if she was dead and they showed him where she was burried and told her how it had happened. If they had to kill him, so be it. This world wasn't the same without Charlotte and he wasn't entirely sure how much longer he was going to be able to handle this place anymore.

Benny walked over to his desk and sat down. He stared at the picture of Charlotten for a moment before he closed his eyes and let his head rest on the desk. Behind his closed lids was a world that he had never seen before. A world with millions, trillions of stars, nebulas all over the place, planets that he knew did not belong in the same system as the Earth. It seemed like he was flying around space. It was a dream that he had pretty much every day since he could remember. He would have other dreams but it would always go back to this one where he would float through the stars.
