It was not that hard finding the young woman. The funny thing was she was easier to find than Jen. Not that the Doctor was too worried. Jen was a big girl and could handle herself. Undoubtedly she would get into some mischief but overall be alright. Besides, curiosity was driving him. Why had the young woman told him not to answer the phone? What did she know? 

It did not make a lot of sense. The TARDIS phone was not working. Hadn't been for some time. It had gotten broken during his last regeneration and he hadn't taken the time to fix it. It wasn't like anyone was going to call him anyway. Most of his companions from previous regenerations had moved no. That was alright with him. It was time. It was his time as well. Technically, he hadn't had a companion since before the war. At least not until Jen came along. Therefore, there had been no need to fix the phone. It wasn't like the High Council of Gallifrey or anyone else from the war called him using that device. And since the war...well... No reason to fix it either. 

He shook his head. All that did not matter at the moment. Watching his query head down another street the Doctor moved forward to intercept. Someone called out to him but he ignored it as he saw the woman duck into a house. Moving forward to catch her he stopped when someone grabbed his coat. Turning he glared at the interruption. The young man in front of him gave him an enormous smile and held out his hand. Ignoring it, the Doctor listened as the man said she was worried. He looked at Jen and was going to say something when the young man continued. The Doctor was about to shut him down but stopped when the man said something about an offer. "Yeah, sure. Hold that thought." He said before turning his attention back to Jen. "Where have you been?" He inquired. "We're in the middle of a London Blitz. It's not a good time for a stroll." Companions were funny things sometimes. Always running off and getting into things they knew nothing about. He wondered if Jen knew what little "offer" this man had. When she came back with a smart aleck reply but no additional information about the offer, he turned to the man. 

"Alright. I'm listening." He said crossing his arms. There was something off about this man. He did not seem to be from around here. When he started in about some Chula worship the Doctor just stared at him, face impassive. So he was right. The man was not from here. He was human but not from this time. It raised a bunch of questions but the Doctor refrained from asking them. Instead he raised an eyebrow. He had been around the block a few times and this man was clearly up to something. Everything was off. He was trying to hard to be pleasurable. Not to mention that his "offer" seemed a bit to good to be true. "What kind of worship?" He inquired.

This seemed to get the young man flustered. Glancing briefly toward the house the Doctor turned and looked back at the man. The young woman could be gone by time they finished talking. How had Jen found this man in the first place? He glanced at her briefly while her associate tried to brush aside the question. "I can't make a purchase without knowing the details." The Doctor stated looking back at the man, his mind putting together the details. London Blitz. Time traveler trying to sell a "to-good-to-be-true" product. He was no fool. When the guy finally gave in and showed them the "worship" and confessed the Doctor listened patiently until he finished explaining before turning to Jen. "Let's go." He said leaving the young man hanging. 

The good news was that he knew what had fallen. The fact that this guy had a bomb set to destroy it meant the Doctor did not have to go clean up a mess. That meant he could turn his attention to more important things. Like why did the phone ring? What did the young woman know?

Regrettably, the young man was not finished with them. Stopping again, the Doctor gave up hoping the woman was still around. The air raid was almost over and he had a feeling she would be long gone. The way she ducked into the house suggested she did not live there. The fact that he had not been keeping attention on the house and that there was undoubtedly a back entrance meant she could have easily left by now. Sighing he looked back at the man. "What is it this time?" He asked. He did not like con artists and the fact that this man was still here wasting his time annoyed him.

[Universe 2]

Time seemed to go by fairly quickly. The woman, Sky, talked for a bit about her ex, her life and everything else that seemed to go wrong. It was interesting really. Summer did not see herself as the type to be really sympathetic or caring but people seemed to think that about her and confide in her. It was a bit awkward but as all she had to do was listen, she just nodded as needed.

Thankfully, after some time Sky wound down. They both sat in silence a few minutes before the professor took it as his duty to educate everyone on the planet. It was actually a bit interesting. A planet so toxic that they had to remain in inclosed spaces. It was actually fascinating for Summer. The human race had come so far. One could still see beauty without the deadly consequences. Without this vehicle or even the original setup, they would not be able to see the beautiful diamond waterfalls. And if they were as good as she heard, that would have been a shame.

The lecture concluded and soon all the conversation faded. Without a lot of things to do, four hours could drag on. Seeing that Sky was busy in her book, Summer rose to go join the Doctor when the shuttle stopped suddenly. Catching herself she glanced around, her face mirroring the confusion on the faces of everyone else. Everyone that is except the Doctor. He just got straight up and headed toward the engine. Summer started to follow but he motioned for her to remain. Showing some piece of paper and giving some bull about being an inspector he bluffed his way past the stewardess. Standing awkwardly, Summer glanced toward the rest of the passengers.

The momentary silence broke as everyone started bombarding the stewardess with questions. Why had they stopped? What was going on? Was there enough air to survive? The poor woman tried to answer but it was obviously clear she had no idea. Taking a deep breath Summer stepped into the aisle. "Alright, everyone calm down." She said with more confidence than she felt. Standing in front of a group of people and trying to convince them everything was going to be fine was not something she was comfortable with but the Doctor had motioned her to stay behind. Undoubtedly he knew this was going to happen. Even if he didn't, Summer did not want to let him down by doing nothing while everyone panicked. "The Doctor is going investigating right now. We just need to be calm and wait patiently until he gets back." She sure hoped he had a good explanation. Otherwise they were in trouble.

"Who is this Doctor?" Biff demanded. "What's he know?"

Summer glanced at the much larger man. "A lot." She replied. "Let's just say if there's any trouble he'll be able to handle it."

A bunch more questions shot out at her before she interrupted them. "Enough. Worrying will not help anything." She declared annoyed. She was concerned too. The fact that they stopped suddenly without explanation meant something was amiss. But at least she kept control of her emotions. Gee, you think that she was in a room full of kids. Then again, they might be easier as they would probably believe. Sometimes adults were so...frustrating. Taking a deep breath she motioned with her hands for them to calm. "Everything will be alright. We just need to be calm and patient."

Honestly, she did not know how it was going to turn out. But she had learned already that no matter what happened or was going to happen she was fine. The Doctor was here and he would keep her safe. 

Thankfully, Dee-Dee backed her up. "She's right. We should be calm and wait for him to come out and give us the explanation." She smiled nervously at Summer. "And the filters can keep this vehicle with enough oxygen to last for days."

Returning the smile with a nod of encouragement, Summer sighed in relief as they calmed down. "That's right. There is no serious issues. There probably isn't anything to major to worry about."

That's when the Doctor came out. Quickly brushing aside some of the worried questions, he proceeded to sidetrack them. Summer stared at him as it apparently started to work. How he did it was beyond her but these same people who were ready to bombard him with questions seemed content to let him go off on a story. Of course it did not help that it was Biff's story originally and the man seemed pleased to be at the center of attention.

That's when everything turned for the worse. The knock jolted her. The Doctor quickly shushed everyone and they listened. The knock came again. Summer watched as the Doctor went over and knocked four times on the wall. There was a pause and then there was four knocks. People started to get nervous and even Summer felt the chill run down her spine. What was out there? Suddenly the back door rattled. Whatever it was was trying to get in. Summer glanced toward the Doctor. She would be safe. She was fine. He would take care of her.

"Make it stop!" Summer quickly looked over. Sky was standing and looking toward the door, her eyes showing her terror. "She said she'd get me. Stop it. Somebody make it stop. Don't just stand there looking at me. It's not my fault." She clearly started to hyperventilate, her fear increasing.

Moving toward her, Summer tried to calm her down. "It's alright." She said. "Everything will..."

"Leave me alone. Stop. She's coming for me. She's coming." The older woman had clearly lost it. Terror had replaced all sense of reason. She pushed Summer back causing the younger woman to fall. Thankfully, that turned out to be a good thing.

The vehicle suddenly rocked and the lights flickered before blacking out. When they came back on, Sky was huddled in the corner and the seats where Summer had been had been uprooted.
