One on one? (Closed!)

Will follows after, glancing around.

"We need to find wherever the Rani stored my TARDIS Matrix." the Doctor said, running down the corridor at high speed.

Will follows after him, his eyes narrowed. He had to get to Nico before Rani does.

The Doctor skidded to a halt at the end of the corridor. He opened up a door to find several human shapes propped up on tables, all wearing identical gas masks and appearing to be connected to some sort of machine. In the center, at the back, was a woman with dark, messy hair, grey-gold eyes, and skin as pale as the moon.

Will stifles a sharp gasp at the sight in front of him. He places a hand to his mouth, looking away.

"The Rani's experiments." the Doctor said. He went up to the dark haired woman, brushing back a few of her raven curls, and taking off the gas mask. She sat up, gasping for breath. "Thief?" she asked, taking the Doctor by surprise.

Will jumps back when the lady wakes up, his eyes going wide.

"Oh, it's my thief! You've stolen me! Ah, going to steal me. No, you are stealing me. Tenses are difficult." she said, standing up, ramming the Doctor against the nearest wall, and pressing against him into a long kiss, snogging him into oblivion. When she finished, she ran up to Will. "Will… is it over now?" the Doctor asked, while the woman started playing with Will's hair absentmindedly.

Will was blinking madly, unsure about what was going on. But he melted when his hair was played with. That was a major weakness. He turned into a kitten if you played with his hair.

"It's the sunshine boy, and my thief. Where's the shadow boy and our dear Miss Cheney?" the woman asked. "Wh-what?" the Doctor said, a bit unsteady. "That's what the Master calls… nevermind, who are you?" he asked.

Will purrs softly at the attention, humming a little as he does so.

The woman ran over to the Doctor, looking at him quizzically, like a stray cat being offered milk. "I'm… oh, what do you call me? We travel together. I go… what was it again? Oh, yes, that's it!" she said, then making the same whooshing, moaning noise the TARDIS made when taking off. "She couldn't have… it's impossible!" the Doctor whispered.

Will whines but tilts his head. "What? Wait- no…" He looks at the woman.

"I call you the TARDIS." the Doctor said. "Yes, Time And Relative Dimension In Space. That's me!" she said excitedly.

Will blinks. "She's been turned human?" He asks. It took him a moment. Finally he glances at the doctor. "What now?"

"No, I'm…" she said, stressing the "M". "I'm… oh what is that word, it's so big, so complicated, and ever so sad." the TARDIS, now a woman apparently, said. "Listen, er… we need to find Alison and Nico and that Time Agent." the Doctor said.

(Good morning!)

Will nods, "Rani is running around here somewhere. We need to find the others before Rani gets to them."

"Eye of Harmony calibrations completed. Prepare for Harmony Resonator Activation sequence. Query 5/Acorn/Aqua/19." the TARDIS woman said.

Will tilts his head. "In english?"

"Yenehc ssim raed ym. Revir eht si tserof eht ni retaw ylno eht. Child of Time. Ozzie. Archetype. Oh!" the TARIDS collapsed onto the Doctor. "Roughly how long do these bodies last?" she asked. "Because one of the kidneys has already failed."

Will walks towards her, "Here." he says softly. "Hand her to me, I can help her."

"Wait, wait, goodbye. No, what's the other one?" she asked. "I don't belong in a flesh body, I could blow the casing in no time. That must be what's causing the randomized…. thingy."

Will tilts his head, "Anyways. I can hold your body together, but only for a short time…"

"No, no, no. I'll be fine. Don't get emotional, focus." the TARDIS said. "Our dear Miss Cheney and the shadow boy will be here in seven seconds." she said.

He blinks, "N-Nic0? Alison? How do you know?"

"Hmm, I don't really know myself. They have arrived, are going to be, and are arriving. I see every tense. But in this form, I'm being torn between being inside of time and being time." she said. "They have arrived." Alison, Cece , and Nico were sneaking around the corner just as the TARDIS said this.

Will tackles Nico, hugging him as he cries into Nico's shoulders. "SHIT I WAS SO WORRIED!!" He sobs. Nico looks completely frozen.

"Who's this?" Alison asked. "Crazy woman. Watch out, she bites." the Doctor said. "Oh, do I? Excellent!" the TARDIS said, biting into the Doctor's neck like a sort of vampire. The Doctor shoved her off. "I didn't mean literally!" he snapped.

Nico chuckles a little. "You okay?" Will sniffles. "I will be."
