A/N: In this story there will be three teams going to three different locations so there will be three separate stories going on at the same time. The Doctor's team will meet Peter Parker/Spider-Man so there will be a slight crossover with the Spider-Man movie although not a complete crossover since I'm only using certain things. For instance, there won't be a Mary Jane or Aunt May in the story and It won't be set on Earth in New York.
Also there are a few updates because of several stories I have in my companion series, Life with the Family. Ianto is a Time Lord and a part of the family along with Martha, Jack is now a full Time Lord but he still has his immortality. Wilf is also a Time Lord now and has been accepted into the family and so has Sarah Jane although she's still human. There is also an OC named Madison Reece who is a Time Lady along with Grace Holloway, Rain's dad John and her sister Amber and all of them are also part of the Doctor's family. All of them are living in a city called Nova on a planet called New Hope in the Andromeda Galaxy.
This is the sixth story in the series. The others in order are Something Old, Something New, The Soldier and the Scientist, Terror of the Crystal Caves, My Son, My Enemy and Cult of the Cyber Messiah along with the companion fic, Life with the Family.
Chapter One
"Doctor, it's great to see you again," Sarah Jane said when they landed just outside her house.
"You too. I hope we're not bothering you but Dex wanted to see his family and we wanted to introduce you to Nelak."
"Nelak?" Sarah Jane said.
"Yes, we found the first of the six missing Time Lords. He's safe and sound and thankfully in his right mind and…he and Awinita are a couple."
"Really? Well, come inside. I was going to call you anyway. I managed to finalize everything with that house and it's theirs now. I've been buying furniture for it with the remainder of the money you gave me but you can help move her other things back in the house before you leave."
"Happy to," the Doctor said.
"Well, get the others and come inside and tell me and the kids what happened," she said.

The Doctor and his family sat in the living room sipping tea and talking to Sarah Jane and the teens about their latest adventure. The teens kept staring at Nelak's purple hair which amused the Doctor. Nelak was sitting on the floor beside Awinita with his arm draped around her. The others were sitting with him while Dex sat with Patience on the sofa and Sarah Jane sat in the chair across from him. Amelia and Opal sat at their father's feet near the Doctor listening intently.
"Well, I'm glad you're alright, Nelak," Sarah Jane said when the Doctor finally finished. "And you as well, Awinita. I've been tortured before so I know what it's like."
"Well, it was worth it considering I got a boyfriend out of it," she said while they laughed.
"Yes, Nelak's more than likely the first Time Lord to have purple hair," the Doctor said.
"Are you keeping it like that?" Sarah Jane said.
"For the moment, yeah."
"I love it," Clyde said.
"Yeah, Mum, can I get purple hair too?"
"You most certainly can not!" she said to Luke while they laughed hysterically. "Not till you leave this house."
Sarah Jane rolled her eyes.
"So, you're gonna head out again in search of the others?" she said.
They nodded.
"Well, actually…"
They looked at Dex.
"Father, do you mind if I sit this one out? I'm not as used to time travel as you are and I'd really like to help my family get settled into their new home."
"That's fine, Son. You don't have to come along if you don't want to," the Doctor said. "I realize my life isn't for anyone. Just know that anytime you want to come with us, you can, alright? Just tell Sarah Jane until you can get a mobile of your own and she'll call and tell us to come back."
He nodded.
"I might come along on the next leg of the search but my family needs time to adjust to me being a Time Lord now."
They nodded.
"Jack? How 'bout you?" the Doctor said.
"I wanna come," he said. "Although I better make a quick call to the team to let them know what I'm doing and check in with them. I'll do that now. So excuse me while I go outside."
He got up and hurried outside.

After finishing the call and reporting to them that everything was alright, they got into the TARDIS. The Doctor took it to the address of the new house and they landed inside. Once they were there, the TARDIS moved the storage closet to the back door and they unloaded their stuff. Patience helped direct them and told them what she did and didn't want. Once they were finished they closed the door on the few remaining things that were outdated and unwanted and the TARDIS took the storage closet away. They all sat for a moment and rested in the living room of the newly furnished house. The Doctor put his hand on his son's shoulder.
"Well, that's sorted. At least you don't have to wait for us to bring your furniture back now," he said to him. "You can go ahead and start your new life here. There is one thing I want you to do though."
"Yes, Father?"
"I need you to talk to your TARDIS and give your permission for others to use it since it's technically yours. We can't use it unless you tell the TARDIS it's okay."
"Okay, I'll do that now," he said, getting up.
He walked back into the TARDIS with the Doctor. After telling her what Dex wanted to do, the TARDIS brought the storage closet containing his TARDIS to the back door and Dex went inside. The Doctor leaned against the doorway waiting while his son talked to his TARDIS. After fifteen minutes, he came back outside.
"Is it alright?" the Doctor asked.
"Yes, all of you have permission to use her," Dex said.
"Good."
He closed the door of the coral-colored lump and walked out with the Doctor. He shut the door behind him and patted his son's shoulder while the TARDIS put the storage closet back.

After that, Patience made some tea for everyone and they sat and stood around the kitchen table with a pad and pen and the list of names deciding who was going to be in the teams.
"Okay, I'm assuming the three couples will want to stay together, first off," the Doctor said.
Alan and Rose and Awinita and Nelak nodded.
"Okay, so we have ten people to split three ways then. Any personal preference people have about going with someone besides the couples?"
They shook their heads.
"Okay, well, are we going 4, 3, 3 then?" he said, glancing at everyone.
"Sounds good to me," Alan said while everyone nodded. "I think every team should have at least one man in it though. Not that I don't think the women can handle themselves but you never know when you're gonna be in a situation that does require a male."
The Doctor nodded.
"Okay, so there's me, Nelak, Alan and Jack."
"I'll head up a team," Jack said.
"I'll head up another," Alan said.
"And I'll head up the third…so Nelak, you and Awinita pick one of us since you want to go together."
"I wanna go with you, Bro," Awinita said to the Doctor.
The Doctor glanced at him.
"Is that alright, Nelak?"
"That's fine, Doctor."
"Okay, we got our 4 man team then," he said, writing it down.
While he wrote, he secretly thanked Awinita for wanting to go with him. He was still hesitant about letting her out of his sight and wanted to make sure she was truly alright after her ordeal. He finished writing and looked at Alan.
"Okay, who wants to go with him and Rose then?"
"I will, Dad," Jenny said.
"Yay, Jen's coming with us!" Alan said to Rose.
"Okay, that leaves Jack, Donna and Mingxia in the other team. Oh, poor Te'lesu, Jack and Donna, the big gob and the big flirt, you're in big trouble now."
"Oi!" Donna said while they laughed.
He wrote down the rest of the teams and put the list out in the middle of the table.
"Okay, choose a person you wanna tackle," he said to them.
They all studied the list. Nelak's name had been crossed out at the top and there were five others beneath them.
"What'd ya think, guys?" Alan murmured to Rose and Jenny.
"How 'bout…the one in 1585 in England? Tulio? Is that a male or a female?" Rose said.
"Male," Nelak said.
Alan shrugged.
"Elizabethan England? Sounds just as good as any other," he said to her. "Jen?"
"It doesn't matter to me," she said.
"Okay, we'll go there then," he said to the Doctor.
The Doctor wrote their names next to his name.
"So, his actual name is James Sutton and hopefully he'll be using it this time," the Doctor said.
He looked over at Jack who had been conferring with Donna and Mingxia.
"How 'bout you?" the Doctor said to him.
"I think we're gonna go with ancient Egypt and Mara. Is that a boy or a girl?"
"Girl," Nelak and Dex said.
"Oh, really?" Jack said.
"Jack, your mission is to find and bring her back to us, not romance her," the Doctor said.
"I know, I know," he said while Donna and Mingxia giggled.
The Doctor wrote their names down beside the name.
"And her name is…Mukantagara…interesting."
"What's interesting?" Jack said.
"The name she chose, I can see why she picked that."
"Why, what's it mean?" Jack said.
"It means, born during war," he said.
"Well, she was going for the symbolism, wasn't she?" Jack said. "But I can't help wishing she'd chosen an easier name, that's quite a mouthful."
"Not as much a mouthful as her Gallifreyan name would be," the Doctor said while Nelak and Dex chuckled. "Okay, so you got her and now…let's see…who do you wanna find?"
"What do you guys think?" Rain said to Awinita and Nelak.
"One place is as good as another," Awinita shrugged.
"Why don't we pick this one because he was the first one Dex dropped off so I have an idea of where to look," Nelak said, pointing to a name at the bottom of the list.
"Asdra?" The Doctor said, looking at him.
"Yeah, we managed to find him a flat to live in and I remember the address of it on Lupidalia. So hopefully we'll just go to his flat, talk to Richard Parker, find the watch and we're done."
"You hope…" Awinita said to him.
"Well, at least I know where he went, Nita," he said to her.
The Doctor wrote their names next to the entry.
"Okay, that's sorted then. So, I guess if we're finished here, we can be on our way then.

After hugging everyone goodbye and wishing Dex and his family good luck. The Doctor and the others got back into the TARDIS and headed into the vortex. Both Alan and Jack's team copied down the entries on the paper and all of them walked to the storage rooms. Jack took Dex's TARDIS while Alan took the Valeyard's.
"Now, Donna, you remember all those TARDIS flying lessons I gave you since you're the one in charge of this TARDIS," he said to Donna.
She grinned.
"I'll try not to dent the 1980's too much," she said, with a wink.
He hugged her tight.
"Be careful," he said.
"You too."
Everyone hugged each other and wished each other luck. Once they were finished, the two teams headed into the TARDISes and shut the door. The other four walked to the console room. The Doctor let down the defenses and mentally told the others they were free to go. They heard two sets of wheezing in the distance. When it faded and the minds of his 6 family members became more and more distant, the Doctor raised the defenses and looked at the remaining three standing by his side.
"Wow, just us now, this is odd," he said while they chuckled. "Well, it's time to go to Lupidalia in the year 13,567 and find Asdra."
He set the coordinates and the four of them flew the TARDIS while it headed for its destination.
