Shattered (A Superwholock Fanfiction)

Chapter 4

Clara, the Doctor, Cas and Dean walked through the streets to the TARDIS. The Doctor got he's keys out and unlocked the door.

Dean looked at Cas. "It's kinda small." Dean observed. Clara smiled, "You have no idea." Dean looked at her confused and then checked her out. Clara saw this and rolled her eyes.

As soon as the Doctor opened the doors of the TARDIS and he walked in, Clara followed with no hesitation.  Dean and Cas lingered in the entrance and stared inside. Dean's mouth dropped open. Cas as always, walked in, expressionless.

"Bull!" he said.

Dean walked back out and studied the TARDIS from a distance. He stared at the box, wide eyed. He circled it, as most people did when they first saw the TARDIS. He tried to take in every detail.  When Dean got back to the door he walked through slowly. Speechless. He looked around, "How the hell?"

The Doctor just smiled and nodded. "Well, you should know the TARDIS is bigger on the inside. There's a toilet there and another one there," the Doctor exclaimed pointing at what seemed random places. "The library should be over that way." He replied pointing at a nearby door.

"I knew you had a time travelling machine but I didn't think it was going to be this freakin' big! How big is this thing exactly?" Dean asked. Still absorbing everything he was seeing.

"Infinitely..." The Doctor replied without any hesitation.

"And we're looking for a book in a place that is infinitely big?" Dean asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Uh, yeah." The Doctor replied, heading towards the library. 

Clara followed closely behind and Dean and Cas looked at each other for a while until they followed suit.

As Dean entered the library he rubbed his temples. "This is impossible." he muttered. Clara smiled at him, "If it's impossible what are you seeing." Dean smiled back, "I have no idea but it hurts my head." Clara continued to smile at Dean kindly and then jogged forward to catch up with the Doctor.

Cas looked at Dean, "Are you okay?" he said in his usual deep voice.

"Yeah, fine." Dean replied. "but what are we looking for exactly?" he asked turning to the Doctor.

''A leather bound book with circles at the front. Oh, and it's really thick!" The Doctor replied enthusiastically. "You and Cas search in here and Clara and I will go search some other rooms where the spare manual might be." the Doctor shouted as he and Clara left the library.

"Sure thing!" Dean answered as he closed the book he was holding and put it back on the shelf.

"I believe that this task will take a while." Cas said to Dean as he ran his fingers along a row of books.

Dean scoffed, "Not a long while! This place is huge! It'll take months. Can't you zap the book here or something?"

"No, if I could, we would already be reading through the book." Cas replied.

"Let's get going then." Dean sighed. His eyes scanned the case, looking for the leather bound book. Cas did the same and they slowly worked up. After a while they moved onto the second floor of the library. Dean rubbed his temples and sighed. "This is taking forever."

Cas looked at Dean with worry, "Maybe you should take a rest. I will continue to search for the book."

Dean smiled at him. "Thanks Cas." he said as he walked over to a chair and sat down. He closed his eyes and for a while, Cas just stared at Dean. Cas smiled at how peaceful Dean looked. The Doctor coughed from the doorway of the library.  Cas quickly looked away from Dean and walked over to the banister. He looked down at the Doctor.

"Yes?" Cas asked. 

"We found it!" the Doctor beamed. "Well, Clara found it but I helped!" The Doctor exclaimed. Dean opened an eye. "Where the hell was it?"  he asked.

"It was wedged under a broken table. It was a table that I couldn't bother trying to fix because my screwdriver doesn't work on wood and I needed something to support it so I used a random book and it turns out that it was this one!" the Doctor explained as he held up the TARDIS manual.

Dean slumped back into the chair and closed his eyes again, "Well, I'm not going to read the damn thing. It way too big. You three can do that while I get my four hours. It feels like I haven't slept in days!" Dean complained as he tried to get into a comfort position.

"Okay then." the Doctor said as he shrugged his shoulders and walked over to a nearby table. Clara joined him. Cas took one last glance at Dean and walked down the stairs to join the other two.

The Doctor opened the book. "Is there an contents page?" Clara asked leaning towards the Doctor to get a better look at the book. The Doctor turned a couple of pages but there was no contents page of any sort. The book just started had lots of wierd circles in at.

"What are these round circles? I have never seen this kind of language or drawing before." Cas said as he examined the book. "That's because it's in Gallifreyan." the Doctor explained. "It's the language of my people. The language of the Time Lords... It says:

This is the time traveler's guide to the TARDIS which stands for 'Time And Relative Dimension In Space..."

Clara sighed, "This is going to take forever!" she swung on her chair for a while and then tilted her head back. The Doctor was flicking through the book and Castiel was looking at the book intently. Clara looked at Cas for a while. She giggled and Cas turned his attention to her. He tilted his head to the side, "May I ask why you are laughing at me?" He asked curiously.

Clara laughed again, "You look funny upside down that's all!" she explained. Clara sat back up and turned the chair around so that she was facing Cas. "What's wrong?" she asked Cas as he looked at her curious.

"How did you find the book so quickly? It had only been a couple of hours and I thought that this place was infinitely big?" Cas answered, full of innocence and curiosity.

The Doctor smiled, "It's because the table that this book was supporting was in Clara's room and Clara has a very good eye." he exclaimed as he continued to flick through the book.

The three of them turned around as they heard a groan and saw Dean walked down the stairs rubbing his eyes. "You guys are so loud!" Dean complained, whining, as he sat next to Clara. He slung an arm around her shoulders casually and asked, "Find anything in that stupid book of yours yet?" Clara rolled her eyes and pushed his arm of her shoulder.

Cas looked at Clara with envy and heard a voice in his head saying, "Dean will never look at you like that! He will never act that casual around you and he will NEVER love you!" Cas pushed the voice away mentally and he felt his body grow heavy so he tried to think about the matter at hand instead.

The Doctor turned a few more pages, "Nothing of importance yet, but I think that maybe we should get back to Sherlock and John's apartment and study the book there and see what they have dug up!" The Doctor said as he marked the page he was reading and closed the book.

"Good idea." Dean said as he stood up and stretched his legs. "Time to see what the nerds found out!" Dean exclaimed smiling his wide smile.
