The Doctor hummed to himself as he opened the TARDIS doors, not knowing that he was being watched. It had been a week since he had saved the Borbatusk and punched Cardin Winchester in the jaw. And he was getting mixed reactions and interactions from his peers. Some were happy and were high-fiving him in the halls for showing the bully that he wasn't on top, or for thinking differently than others. Others were wary around him when he flat out told the entire class that he wasn't human, or Faunus. And the rest were pissed at him because he saved the Grimm, or hitting him (Cardin).
But he didn't care, really. He was used to a lot of ridicule. He had to be, after all, being a multi-billion year old semi-immortal alien who can change his appearance and - occasionally - entire being to either escape death, or hide from people.
Right now, he had just gotten into an argument with Professor Oobleck (he wasn't about to get his classmates confused when both of them try to answer a student's question when they ask for 'Doctor?', no matter how much Professor Oobleck insisted on them calling him by his title) about one of the topics in history - the Legend of the Blue Box, which the Doctor had never even heard of - and wether it was real or not.
So, he was about to travel to the time that Oobleck had told him and see if the Legend of the Blue Box was around then.
Key word, however, is 'was'. The adventure he was sure to have was put on the back burner for now, as the doors to the TARDIS swung open, revealing his team. He stood there, in shock, eyes wide in subtle fear for himself. He didn't want them to find out like this.
Blake and Weiss, after seeing the inside of the TARDIS, immediately started circling the outside of the TARDIS, as was the norm for most of his possible soon-to-be companions. Ruby stood there in shock. Ren tried - and failed - to keep Nora from zooming in and exploring. Yang and Pyrrha were frozen in shock. But the Doctor knew he had explaining to do. So, he cleared his throat and began the long, length process of telling them the important bits about who he was and where they were, and how this much space can fit inside such little area.
"So… you're an alien?" Asked Weiss, to which the Doctor responded with a yup.
"You're semi-immortal, and potentially billions of years old?" Yang asked in shock. Another yup.
"You can travel through time," stated Blake, who's eyes seemed to spark with the possibilities.
"Yes, I can. But I can't change something big in someone's personal past, such as the death of a relative, or stopping them do something" to which Blake seemed to lose that spark in her eyes, as well as Ren, whose eyes seemed to dim. "I can, however, let you see the ones you lost before they ever knew you" to which Ren and Nora both seemed to brighten.
"And you can travel to different planets?" Ruby squealed in excitement. To which he nodded with a grin.
"And you… run?" Questioned Pyrrha, whose head tilted adorably with her brow furrowing in confusion.
"Oh, yes. So much running. Love the running. Good for the hearts" he said, running a hand through his hair. "Running from things, to things, with things, with people. From danger, to danger, with danger. Running's running. And I love running" he said.
"Wait wait wait. Back up. You can't just speed over that like you didn't just say what you just said," Weiss said, a bit of frustration and confusion on her face. "You have two hearts?" She asked. He nodded as if it were perfectly normal.
"Anything else you got two of?" Yang thought aloud, licking her lips as she eyes the Doctor up and down. Ruby shouted her name as her face erupted in a blush, as well as Weiss and Pyrrha's. Nora was confused, Ren was stoic, Blake blushed as well, but glanced at the Doctor as well.
The Doctor grinned an infuriatingly hot smirk as he leaned forwards, his eyes seemingly challenging Yang as he retorted. "Wouldn't you like to know, eh, Bombshell?" He joked, winking at her when he was done. The same reactions happened, though amplified, with Yang's jaw dropping to the floor while the corner of her lips tugged upwards.
The Doctor then clapped his hands together and rubbed them. "So! All of time and space. Next stop, everywhere!" He said as he started rushing around the console of the TARDIS, flipping switches, pressing buttons, banging a bell, and turning a crank. He flipped two switches with a flourish, spinning around on his foot with a grin on his face as he came back around to fix them. "Where to first? Planet? Space station? Future or the past? Or just to the expanse of space, no planet for millions of light-years, only floating in the Void, taking in the beauty of the universe?" He asked.
Immediately, Ruby exclaimed. "Ooh, ooh! Planet, a planet!" Ruby exclaimed.
The Doctor looked around the room, seeing everyone agreeing. "Any suggestions?" He asked. Weiss raised her hand, wanting to know more about the Doctor.
"Your home planet?" she asked. The Doctor tensed and his eyes darkened as he was seemingly overcome with extreme sadness. He shook his head after but a moment of the dark part of him and went back to smiling, his mask back in place. It was as if he never stopped smiling.
"Nah. You wouldn't want to go there," he shook his head, tilting his head back a bit. "It's gone, anyways. Couldn't go even if we wanted to.." He said the last two bits softly, but Blake picked up on his mutterings and instantly gave him a sad look.
Ruby, wanting to change the atmosphere, exclaimed. "One with dogs! Lots of dogs!" She said as she grinned and bounced up and down with happiness. Everyone chuckled. The Doctor ruffled her hair as he grinned.
"Alright, Rubes. You got first pick. A planet with dogs it is! I know the perfect place" he said as he continued running about the console, pressing more buttons and flipping more switches seemingly at random. "Here. We. Go," he said. "Hold on tight, everybody" he said as everyone looked at him in confusion. He grinned a manic grin as he flipped the flipped the final switch. The engines fired up and groaned as that wondrous sound filled the air. The entire console room seemed to shake and rattle as everyone rushed to grab something, while the Doctor laughed, holding onto the console as he shouted. "We have our heading! To Barcelona!"
