Chapter Three

“But Doctor, they would know that we are coming, they are expecting us. It would be suicide!” Donna tried to reason with the Doctor

They were jogging down the street, turning corners after a few yards, passing people who were still suffering from the aftershocks. Up ahead big tall skyscrapers towered over them menacingly, making Donna feel closed in.

“Yes I know Donna, but they have the TARDIS who knows what they could do with it, they seem very powerful and I'm afraid that they’re going to do something colossal” explained the Doctor who started to run out flat, with his sonic screwdriver held out in front of him, every now and then it made a funny whirring noise and he followed it around the corners on the path.

“So where are we going and what’s the plan when we get there?” asked Donna breathlessly

“We’re going wherever the sonic screwdriver is taking us and to the second question... no idea I’ll make it up as I go along, it’s what I usually do” answered the Doctor

They both ran across the road, almost being run over by a black taxi with an angry short man in the front waving his fist angrily at them for being so careless. 

The Doctor slowed as the sonic whirred rapidly, he pointed it at different buildings which were mostly high rise buildings. The Sonics’ gaze rested on a posh glass high rise building, with a door man at the entrance dressed in black and red. 

“Look there” Donna pointed to the top of the building.

They saw a small figure jump off a balcony only to disappear in mid air, as though he flew like a speeding bullet.

“Was that one of the boys?” Donna whispered

“I assume so” answered the Doctor

They both headed towards the entrance, crossing the roads carefully this time. Inside the building the floors were sparkling white and the walls were white too with some colourful paintings and tapestry’s, down by the lifts were little fountains which had tiny fish in them. 

“It looks more like a gallery” commented Donna

Behind them, a stern looking receptionist cleared her throat, they both whipped around startled. The woman had blonde hair tucked into a tight bun and all she wore was a black suit with black shoes, she also had black designer glasses which seemed to magnify her grey, dull eyes.

“Sorry we don't have any more pent houses for sale” she said, even her voice was dull.

“Er no we’re here for a safety inspection, I am John Smith and this is Miss Donna Noble” The Doctor flashed his psychic paper expertly, the woman inspected it closely

“Ok I see. Well Mr Leon Dolby is expecting a Doctor, and I think you match the description of that Doctor, Doctor. No need to hide your name” The woman told them sternly

“Quite right, take me to your leader...love saying that” the Doctor grinned

“We will oblige, let’s take you to our father”

The Doctor and Donna whipped round in surprise towards two boys walking towards them from an open elevator. One was young yet burly, short brown hair and chocolate brown eyes the other wore dark clothing and unusual pendants of the old gods, dark hair covered one coal black eye, his figure thin but sturdy.

“Oh god, how many boys with supernatural powers?” Donna gasped in disbelief

"Let's find out shall we? As I said to this young woman here, take us to your leader... I can't beleive that I have been able to say that twice in one day, I am on a roll!" The Doctor flashed a boyish smile and plunged his hands deep into his long brown coat. He sauntered forwards like he didn't have a care in the world towards the two edgy boys with a slightly nervous Donna creeping behind him.

"Hands where we can see them" The bigger brown haired boy commanded, his eyes darting between the Doctor and Donna, scanning for any signs of danger.

The Doctor complied, pulling his hands out from his pockets and held them up, wiggling his fingers as though he was about to start singing 'twinkle twinkle little star'. The dark haired boy gestured towards an opening elevator and the Doctor led the way with Donna confidently, with the two boys following behind. They entered the spacious elevator and the dark haired boy pressed a button to go up.

"Up, up and away!?" The Doctor was still smiling as the doors slid smoothly closed.
