The Day England Almost Sank

SHEILDs Up

Well, here's the next slice of Madness. I hope you enjoy it! A certain agent or two are turning up... ;)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Calla hopped down the hatch entrance to the bunker and strode into the kitchen, muttering something angrily under her breath. Holly was just standing up from her seat,

"I'm going to go call the Doctor. Several regenerations..." She picked up her cell before she left the room to call Tanya and check that that was alright with her fellow Doctor-tracker but poked her head back in a second later,

"Aleda, would you ring Ten for me? I've got to ring Nine and Eleven..."

"Sure." replied the winged woman, her flying goggles hanging around her neck.

"Thanks, Aleda."

Aleda exited into a different hallway. Holly punched in Nine's number and waited,

"Heloooo, this is the Doctor speaking."

"Hey, it's Holly..."

"What's going on, Holly?"

"We have a situation..." Holly explained how England was sinking and that they needed his help. "Yeah, I know, yeah, Rose is sleeping. Mmhmm. Please, I understand, but this is very important!"

The Doctor sighed over the line,

"Fine, fine..."

"Thanks, Doctor."

Holly was about to dial Eleven when Aleda came in,

"He won't pick up. He's probably with Elizabeth..." Aleda bit her lip nervously as Holly registered what she'd said,

"Saints..." Holly rolled her eyes, "give that here."

Aleda handed over the mobile phone and Holly punched Ten's number in grumpily. Aleda saw the irritation swirling in Holly's eyes, turning them from their regular blue to their Frost Giant red. It was pretty creepy so Aleda slipped back into the kitchen. A moment later, everyone heard yelling from the hall,

"You can get back to your bloody snogging later! NOW GET YOUR SKINNY ARSE OUT HERE!"

Everyone in the kitchen looked at each other, all having the feeling that they weren't necessarily supposed to have heard that.

"Trouble in paradise?" Muttered Loki under his breath. Calla gave him a glare from across the room that could have fried an egg at a hundred paces. He looked back at his feet and bit his tongue. Holly came in a moment later and handed Aleda her phone back,

"He's coming."

The phone had a thin sheen of ice on it. Aleda carefully took her chilled phone back with a nervous "thanks...". Holly called Eleven up next.

"Hey hey hey! If it isn't Holly Berry!"

"Hey, Doc."

"Ooh....Doc! I like that!" Holly smiled despite her upset with Ten.

"Well, Doc, we have a problem. England is sinking."

"Ooh...that's not good. Have you got a fez?"

"Yes, we can get you a fez."

"Give me five minuets and I'll be there!"

"Alright, see ya."

Holly heard the CHUNK! of a lever being pulled just before she hung up. She took a deep breath and made sure she wouldn't go all Frost Giant again before going back into the kitchen.
