Time Crisis

Reunited

Standing outside the mansion, Hayley impatiently scanned the surroundings, awaiting the appearance of a familiar blue box.

"Where are you, Prof?" she exclaimed, the anticipation evident. Suddenly, the familiar wheezing noise played, and she turned to see the oh-so-familiar blue box materialize, causing a gust of wind. Smiling, she walked over and knocked on the door, which swung open to reveal the very man she had been waiting for.

"Hello, ma'am. Have you seen a woman about your height, brown hair, feisty?" the Professor inquired in a joking manner.

"No, I haven't seen anyone matching that description," Hayley replied, playing along with the jest. They shared a smile, and the Professor stepped out of the TARDIS, hugging Hayley and spinning her around before setting her back down.

"Oh, Professor, I've missed you," Hayley said happily.

"Seems it's mutual," the Professor replied, still smiling. They laughed, and Hayley motioned for him to follow her, stating, "Come on, I want you to meet everyone." They entered the mansion, where the Mikaelsons awaited.

The Professor's smile waned as he considered them another group of humans who might interfere. "Guys, this is the Professor, the person I was telling you about," Hayley introduced.

A moment of silence lingered until Elijah decided to break it, offering a courteous, "Well, it's nice to meet you."

"You too," the Professor responded with a tinge of disappointment. Hayley shot him a look, silently urging him to be kind. He sighed, and she continued, "Well, it's nice to meet you all, but can we get to the point of why I'm here? Hayley mentioned something about the Cybermen."

Freya explained that she had a vision of the Cybermen, causing the Professor to shift his focus. Hayley interrupted, revealing Freya's supernatural nature and the Mikaelsons being original vampires.

There was a moment of silence as the Professor processed the information, accepting the existence of the supernatural given his own alien nature.

"Um, okay, I'm just gonna sit down for a bit," the Professor said, walking over to the couch and sitting down. Hayley followed suit, taking his hand.

"I know this might be difficult to cope with, but I really need you right now," Hayley exclaimed, hoping he'd stay.

He nodded, indicating his belief and trust, but as he looked up, he sensed their wariness. "Alright, if we're gonna get to the bottom of this, the truth must be revealed. Since I know your secret, you get to know mine. Follow me," the Professor said, walking outside towards the TARDIS, with Hayley and the Mikaelsons in tow.

The Mikaelsons exchanged glances, then followed after the two, witnessing the big blue box.

"No use in standing out here. Let me just get my key, ah," the Professor said, unlocking the TARDIS door and stepping inside. Hayley was about to follow when Freya stopped her.

"Hayley, I don't think this is a good idea," Freya expressed concern.

"It's fine. I was like this the first time—scared he was crazy but curious at the same time. So, you know what I did? I said, 'What the hell, how bad can he possibly be?' And I've been running with him ever since. When I was a little girl, I had an imaginary friend, and when I grew up, he came back. That was the Professor, and I've loved every moment of it. So, come on, take some risks," Hayley said, walking into the TARDIS. The siblings hesitated, then decided to follow.

Inside the TARDIS, they marveled at the vast interior while the Professor and Hayley stood at the console.

"It's bigger on the inside," the four exclaimed together.

"Yes, it is. Once you get past that, we'll talk about the space and time travel bit," the Professor replied, glancing at the monitor to track the Cybermen's whereabouts.

"What are you?" Klaus demanded, asking the Professor about his identity.

"Do you want the short version or the long version?" the Professor asked.

"Just tell so that we can find out what's going on," Hayley urged.

"Okay, fine. I'm the Professor. I'm a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborous. I'm 1011 years old, and I travel across time and space, saving people and planets wherever I go," the Professor explained as he pulled the space-time throttle, setting the TARDIS into motion.

And so, the adventures began. After the Cybermen situation, the Professor, Hayley, and the Mikaelsons embarked on a journey across the universe. The scene transitions to a long hallway where Klaus, Elijah, and the Professor are running from a menacing beast. As they reach a pair of doors, the doors open to reveal three girls.

"Now," the Professor shouts, and the girls use crystals to freeze the beast in its tracks. The beast shrinks down to human size, revealing a scruffy Nordic-looking man named Farkas.

"Are you alright now, Farkas?" the Professor asks.

"Aye, I am. Thank you, Professor," Farkas responds.

"No problem. Happy we could help. And don't forget, I'll be seeing you for Christmas. Bye," the Professor says as he and his crew leave. Farkas waves them goodbye. As they enter the TARDIS, they all fall down from exhaustion, and the TARDIS takes off.
