Chapter Four: The Visitors

Chapter Four: The Visitors

Fred and GoGo followed Heathcliff down through the main part of the massive Manor. The butler's footsteps tapped lightly on the tiled floors as he walked with perfect posture. Fred's more leisurely pace made GoGo cringe, but that was Fred. She just wanted to get this done and get back to Hiro.

"This way," Heathcliff called as he turned into a small receiving room. "The gentleman and his companion are in here."

Fred strolled through the door, then stopped in confusion. "Who... are...you?"

GoGo tried crowding in behind him and ended up pushing him out of the way. "Let me in, Fred!" She still wore her suit, though her skates and helmet had been left behind for the same reason Fred's suit had been. She'd kept her flying discs, just in case.

The man in the room turned around, his long, brown coat almost swirling with the motion. His mop of unkempt hair almost matched Hiro's, only it wasn't as long, and was brown instead of black. And the man was wearing glasses. He had his hands stuffed in his pockets.

Then the man's companion turned around. She was a blonde woman wearing jeans and a t-shirt. She was actually pretty hot, Fred decided, but he was sure he didn't know either of them. Were they friends of his dad?

The man seemed to remember himself and pulled his hands out of his pockets as he moved forward to shake Fred's hand. "Hello. I'm the Doctor."

"Wow," Fred said, not sure what else to say. Had he heard about someone like this before? He wasn't sure.

GoGo pushed forward. "Doctor of what?"

"Just the Doctor," the Doctor said, smiling. "And this is my companion, Rose Tyler."

The girl waved. "Hello."

She can't be much older than we are, GoGo thought to herself as she stared. These guys were way too casual. And Fred seemed a bit out of it, probably ogling about how these two resembled characters from his comic books. "What do you want?" She didn't have time to be polite. After all, Hiro needed them.

The man fumbled a bit, taking off his glasses. "Oh, sorry about that. I tried to explain it to your butler but he insisted he bring the man of the house." He glanced at Fred, who still seemed a bit awestruck. "I'm looking for something. Well," he scratched at the back of his head, "more like someone."

GoGo's eyes narrowed. "Who and what for?"

The Doctor made a funny sort of noise as he seemed to debate on what to tell her. "Well, you see, we've been trying to track down a specific person. They'd likely be in a lot of pain. We picked up the readings on our scanner." He glanced at Rose. "They do have scanners like that, don't they?"

Rose shrugged. "How should I know? I'm not a science geek."

Hand going to her hip. GoGo blew a bubble, popping the gum loudly. "What difference does it make?"

Eyebrows up, the Doctor wavered. "Well... let's just say it's a sort of side effect of recent events. We know there are two in the area with this problem, one stronger than the other. We simply went for the stronger of the two."

GoGo remained unimpressed. "And what are you going to do when you find this person?"

The Doctor rocked back on his heels a bit, not out of fear or anything. Perhaps it was out of habit. "Well, that depends. What I generally do is try to help."

Fred tapped on GoGo's yellow suit. "Dude, maybe he can help Hiro. He did say he was a doctor. And though I'd trust Baymax with my life, maybe he could use a little help." He turned to the two guests. "By the way, I'm totally digging your accents. Are you from England?"
