"Jenny?" Madame Vastra called as she glanced out of the window, veil covering her reptilian features. Her wife appeared into the room almost instantly and she nodded while Vastra asked "Have you heard the TARDIS land?"

"No, there hasn't been an increase in temporal energy here." Jenny asked, she wiped her hands on the dark apron she wore. "Why does it matter mum?"

Vastra glanced up as she lifted the veil from her face, she glanced once more at the man outside as he smelt the flowers and scanned them with his screwdriver. "Because, we have company. Do you still remember how the Doctor takes his tea?"

Jenny nodded and smiled. "Maple syrup is a strange thing to put in tea. I'll go make it, Strax is at the door at the moment."

The Silurian nodded, a smile on her face but then it fell when she saw the Doctor touch a petal from one of the flower bushes outside. The flower bloomed to its full and luxurious extent but then almost instantly the life drained from it, its yellow petals shriveled up and turned brown before dropping off. Vastra blinked in shock, the Time Lord smiled before strutting up to the door where Strax was waiting. He was laughing, it sounded as if nothing was wrong.

"Strax!" The Doctor cried happily as he jumped inside, purple coat fanning out behind him as he tapped the Sontaran's nose. "How have you been?"

"You seem in a good mood." Vastra said as she slid into the doorway. "Where is Clara?"

The Doctor paused, his eyes met Vastra's, they were a strange fluorescent green color that almost seemed to glow. He blinked and smiled "Oh yes sorry, she's relaxing back in her own time. Getting to know a few of my old friends. Bet they're having tea and scones at the moment."

Jenny appeared from the hall, a tea tray in hand. "Why don't we all sit and have a friendly chat in the drawing room? The spring weather is doing us great this season."

The group walked into the drawing room, Vastra took her usual seat while the Doctor took the chair across from her, legs crossed trying to be polite. But the three crime-solvers could sense something was off, there was never that much Time Energy surrounding the Time Lord. Jenny handed him a cup of tea while the Doctor nodded in thanks, he took a sip and nodded a smile on his face as if he hadn't tasted something so sweet in hundreds of years.

Jenny glanced over at Vastra and mouthed "I didn't add anything. He hates plain tea. Something's off." Her wife nodded in agreement as the Doctor glanced up, bright green eyes narrowed but as soon as the glare started it was gone. Strax noticed and said "Is something wrong? My sensors are indicating that you aren't breathing."

The Doctor's eyes widened but then his puppy-looking smile dissolved, leaving the cold essence before him. He finished off the tea but still held the stained glass cup in his hand. He shook his head, but then the trio only could gape as the cup dissolved into sand at his grasp. The Time Lord groaned "Honest to Time, this is getting annoying! Can't even drink tea properly."

He didn't even flinch when he felt when he felt the cool metal of the sword prick his throat and a bullet click into place as Strax lowered the gun to the back of his head. Vastra hissed "What are you and what have you done with the Doctor?"

He rolled his eyes, the green brightening to a startling shade of gold. "I'm him and he's me. The days foretold of a loomed child of Gallifrey that would aid in my escape and he did. I am Time."

Vastra blinked, eyes widening in horror as her mind traveled back to the old days where her people told of the Days of Freed Time, being a young child she never paid attention let alone believed them. She gaped "That can't be possible."

"Do try to keep up." Time replied with a roll of his eyes as he shook the sand from his hands. "Honestly, how did your people ever evolve from the lizard? Such a waste of valuable energy."

The Doctor glanced down at where Jenny had stabbed him, the razor-sharp edge of her sword cutting into his chest, right through his hearts. The Doctor blinked and rolled his eyes "Doesn't work dear...but I can hear your friend screaming in pain."

"You vile creature!" Jenny growled, tearing her sword free. "Let 'im go now!"

"Can you get anymore repetitive?" Time groaned. "'Oh please let him go!' 'Monster'! It's pathetic that way your species begs and pleads."

"They have more mercy than you ever did." Vastra countered sharply. Time rolled his eyes and grabbed the blade and tore it from his chest.

Time shrugged "I don't care about being 'the bigger person' as you put it. I have some business to attend to in this time period anyway."

He stood, Vastra grabbed Jenny and pulled her out of the way as he glanced at the stone pillars that held up the room. Time smirked and placed his hand against the smooth stone, golden veins creeped their way up the pillar as small pebbles began to fall. Time threw a smirk back in their direction before disappearing, nobody had time to react before the roof caved in.


"What are we going to do?!" Clara said, almost in hysterics as her mind traveled to the scene that only happened four minutes prior. Rory put a comforting hand on her shoulder in an attempt to calm her down. She shrugged him off in a hurry.

Jack put his hands up and sighed "Calm down Clara. I'm pretty sure we could find someone to help us."

"Like who?" Clara whirled around to face Jack as she snapped bitterly. Jack frowned when he saw the tears gathering in her eyes, threatening to spill over. He shook his head and glanced at Amy.

"I think I know who." Amy said suddenly, Rose glanced at her with hopeful eyes but never said anything. Every was hoping Amy knew someone that could help. "River Song, she a Time Traveler and she's The Doctor's wife. Weird, I know but she's the best shot we have."

Donna blinked and whispered "The Library. Is she the woman from the Library?"

Nobody answered but Rose only turned towards the TARDIS, she ran her fingers across the smooth paint before opening the door, it had been so long. Martha followed with slow steps as the rest filed in. The three Tenth Incarnation's along with the Ponds companions gaped at the new interior while Clara glanced back and called "Give me the coordinates to anywhere she might be."

Everyone shrugged, no one knew where River could possibly be but then Clara looked up towards the spire and said "TARDIS, I know we don't get along much...but we need your help. Can you help us find River Song?"

The engines were silent and everyone looked down, broken glass still lined the floor and the console was in ruins. The companions all looked around in pity and if not pain, it was terrible to see the TARDIS, a home they all shared at one point in time destroyed. Rose shook her head, swallowing the bile in her throat, she fell in love with the Doctor and the TARDIS was a sister while Martha blinked sadly, she may not have ended up with the guy but the TARDIS was always there. Donna just stared at the carnage along with Jack, the two could only stare at the place where their love for adventure began. The Ponds felt sick, this had become their home while their Doctor had become their annoying brother. Clara on the other hand, tried to fly but the controls were offline, she had to find the Doctor she had to find the man she had fallen in love with...even if it killed her.
