Male reader x missy (editing cos I'm dumb:))

Come back

You both made your way over to the dig site. You noticed the date and time. You rolled your eyes not realising you were back on New Year's Day.

"How's it going?" River spoke entering first. She kept your hands interlinked as she softly rubbed her thumb over you hand.

"Oh hey river, whose this?" The man asked politely.

"This is y/n song. He is rather good at this stuff dear" she spoke softly. The two smiled at you "Well I'm Mitch and this is lin, nice to meet you y/n"

"So this is were your working?" You asked taking it all it.

"Yes, do you like it?" She asked picking up her equipment.

"I love it" you spoke in awe looking down at the different bones and minerals scattered around.

The woman seemed rather interested in something else "Look at this."

"Hmm?" Mitch mumbled gesturing both you and river to come over. River gave you a reassured nod and smile so you followed after them.

The woman looked at you all before explaining herself "Here, just... just below the start of the hand. There's something here. I just can't figure out what it is." You tried to look at where she pointed but it didn't look like much. River scanned it with her controls which came up empty handed.

"Nothing. Let's record it and bag it up." She commanded.

He took moments collecting the sample and bagging it. You enjoyed watching river around at the dig site. It was something that you missed very much. You had remembered your 79th birthday with the king of BlaSiri buried in the soil that later river discovered was a protesters house who had murdered the king which was still cool to you.

"Contents recorded, coded and bagged, whatever it is." He spoke throwing it over to river who catches it with ease. "Thanks."

She led you over to the table with had Parts of the skeleton laid out on the glass.

"River. You do realise this means those drawings could be true. The Battle of Hope Valley." Mitch spoke which caused river to roll her eyes playfully.

"I know you love those documents, dear. I know you want them to be true, but this is more significant than that. Much more alien." River stated focused on the bags continents.

"It's not more significant. Alien? Really I mean, what if he was part of it, hmm? He could've fought in it. He could be the key to unlocking what it was all about." He carried on.

"Or he could be nothing to do with it whatsoever." Lin pipped in causing you to giggle.

"You see, that's the difference between you and me. I am glass half full." He muttered to lin.

"Oh, is that right?" She replied.

River rolled her eyes "stop flirting you two" Placing the plastic bag on another table flashing under the light.

"Right anyone want a cup of tea?" Mitch smile offering you a cup that you take gratefully.

"So song? Isn't that your last name?" Lin asks as you all sit around a table.

"Yeah that's my son!" She exclaimed happily. The others seemed to have shocked looks on there faces as their eyes flickered to both of you.

"Ho-

"What was that? Did you see anything?" Mitch panicked.

"No. Could be a rat." Lin laughed.

Mitch gets up in a hurry and picks up a few bags. "I think there's something missing. It must have taken one of the bags. That is one cheeky rat."
