The Time Lady Who Waited

The Age of Steel

''Doctor a way out would be great right about now,'' Violet squirmed as the Cybermen came closer and closer to the group.

''Oh I've got one,'' The Doctor reached into his pocket brought out the Tardis power cell. Upon pointing it at the Cybermen a bright golden light emitted out of it causing them to reel backwards.

''What the hell was that?''Rickey shouted, while everyone recovered from the light; it hadn't just affected the Cybermen.

''Oh never mind that how about me run,'' Everyone nodded at Jones idea and grabbing Violets hand they began to run. It wasn't long until a familiar blue van, came speeding around the corner.

''Everybody, in!'' Mrs Moore shouted as Rickey and Jake proceeded to open up the side of the van. Rose, Mickey, and Jones had followed Ricky and Jake inside, but upon seeing Pete Tyler come to a halt the Doctor and Violet stopped with him.

''We have to go, it won't take them long to recover,'' Violet spoke trying to persuade Pete to follow them.

''I've got to go back. My wife's in there,'' He protested looking between Violet and the Doctor.

''Anyone inside that house is dead. If you want to help, then don't let her die for nothing. You've got to come with us right now,'' That got Pete to move.

''Come on! Get a move on!'' Mrs Moore shouted over the engine, as Pete, the Doctor and Violet ran towards the van.

''Come on,'' The Doctor said as he pulled his daughter and Pete into the van before then sliding the door closed.

''Finished chatting? Never seen a slower getaway in my life!'' Mrs Moore complained from the front seat.

''Oh believe me I've seen slower,'' Jones spoke looking over at Violet.

''It wasn't my fault, I swear she had a tracker on me all the time,'' Violet mumbled back earning a chuckle from Jones.

''I guess you haven't finished chatting then.''

''Sorry,'' They replied in unison to Mrs Moore's comment. Now wasn't exactly the time to recall when they tried to steal food from the house Kitchen when they were younger, and well long story short they got caught.

''What was that thing?'' Rickey asked, referring to what the Doctor had used to distract the Cybermen.

''Little bit of technology from my home,'' The Doctor replied simply.

''It's stopped glowing, has it run out?'' Mickey asked worried that they had just wasted their only hope of getting home.

''It's on a revitalising loop. It'll charge back up in about four hours.''

''Right, so, we don't have a weapon anymore,'' Rickey huffed.

''Yeah, we've got weapons. Also got their space age gun things,'' Jake said nodding towards Violet and Jones as he spoke.

''What guns, I told you to leave it behind, I thought you did,'' The Doctor wasn't happy.

''I left the one you told me to leave; you never gave me a pat down. What about Violet hers was in her boot the whole time,'' Violet turned to glare at her friend.

''Give them to me,'' The Doctor demanded.

''Why?'' They said at the same time. Violet didn't understand why her father hated guns; they were a way of defence, weren't they.

''Because I'm not having you running around with guns, especially in a parallel world,'' The Doctor explained as he held out his hand for the weapons.
