The Skasis Paradigm

Chapter 7: Nestene

"I lost the signal, I got so close." The doctor whines as Rose and I exit the TARDIS, Rose stares around in confusion.

"We've moved! Does it fly?" She asked me making me shake my head and open my mouth to explain before the Doctor cut in.

"Disappears there, reappears here, you wouldn't understand." He said, annoyed making my glare at him. This time lord better watch how he speaks to by baby cousin because the next time he's rude to her I'm gonna snap.

"But if we're somewhere else, what about that headless thing? It's still on the loose." She asked me only for the Doctor to once again answer before me.

"It melted with the head, are you going to witter on all night?" He asked rudely making me snap.

"First of all, she didn't even ask you either of those questions, she asked me. Second of all, if you are going to be such a dick to us then we can leave." I said to him making him turn around with a glare.

"Then she can leave! I'm not stopping her." He said, not realizing I said 'we'. I hardened my glare.

"Then we'll BOTH leave." I said to him making him falter, his eyes were conflicted and shocked with something else I couldn't identify. He eventually stepped back and groaned, turning away from me. "For your first question its kind of like in back to the future, both in travel and rules of time. The ship must use a wormhole, no no, a vortex! To travel time and space. The TARDIS goes in the vortex and can calculate exactly where and when it wants to land. Does that help?" I asked her making her nod, she gave a quiet thank you. "For your second question think of it like before when I told you it was like Wanda and Jean. They can both see through other people's minds so think of it like the Nestene being able to do that with the Autons. When the Nestene saw there was no way to retrieve the head and stop the Doctor from using it, it melted the head and with it, the body so he couldn't use it properly." I explained making her nod before focusing back on the present issues.

"I'll have to tell his mother..." Rose said, grief in her voice making me hug her. She was taking this surprisingly well, I'm glad I know Micky's okay or I would be in the same state as her. The doctor looks at Rose in confusion making Rose frustrated and angry.

"Mickey! I'll have to tell his mother he's dead, and you just went and forgot him, again!" She yelled at him only for him it roll his eyes at her, no concern evident on his face.
"You were right, you ARE alien." Rose said while turning to walk away, my following making the Doctor slightly upset.

"Look, if I did forget some kid called Mickey..." He started making me roll my eyes and turn to him.

"Yeah, he's not a kid." I told him as he gave a frustrated sigh.

"It's because I'm trying to save the life of every stupid ape blundering on top of this planet, alright?!" He yelled at us.

"Alright!" We yelled, Rose with glossy eyes from frustration and stress.

"Yes! It is!" He yelled as Rose just shakes her head disbelievingly and I lean my head against the TARDIS in an effort to calm down.

"How do you put up with him?" I mumbled to the ship making a soft hum of reassurance come from the old girl. My mental and physical exhaustion clear on my face.

"If you are an alien, then how comes you sound like you're from the North?" I heard Rose ask making me crack a weak smile. Leave it to her to say something like that.

"Lots of planets have a North." He said to her with a slight huff, seeming to have calmed down greatly.

"What's a police public call box?"

"It's a telephone box from the 1950s." I said, turning around and patting the blue box. "I'm guessing it's a disguise." I said getting a hum from the ship and nod from the Doctor. Rose smiles and shakes her head.
