The Angel of Gallifrey

Dalek

Eirene had been letting her wing heal up and her father had been holding her hand as she gently flew around the Tardis to get her wings back to normal. The control room was more than big enough for her to fly around. Rose watched the little girl in awe as she flew around the room, she loved looking at the little girl's wings, they were beautiful, they were everything that she imagined an angel's wings to look like. The Doctor was happy that his tot was healing, he had been extremely worried when she had shown him her wing. The Doctor hears an alarm and goes to look at the screen as Eirene landed beside Rose and she looks at her father with her head tilted "There's a distress call, hold on!" He says and the two girls nod and hold onto the rail.

The Tardis materialises in dimly lit area with carpeting and display cases "So what is it? What's wrong?" Rose asks after they leave the Tardis, making dure that Eirene has covered her wings under her cloak "Don't know. Some kind of signal drawing the Tardis off course." The Doctor explains and Rose looks around at all the display cases and The Angel was in a world of her own as she looked at all the familiar things in glass cases. "Where are we?" Rose asks looking around and The Doctor remembered what the monitor had said when he first saw the distress signals.

"Earth. Utah, North America. About half a mile underground." The Doctor says and both The Angel and Rose nod their heads "And when are we?" Rose asks and The Doctor looks over at her as The Angel joins his side again "Two thousand and twelve." He says looking at a display case "God, that's so close. So I should be twenty six." Rose says doing the maths in her head as The Doctor wanders to the side.

The Doctor finds the light switch, and things become more clear as the lights turn on 'It's a museum?' Eirene thinks to her father "Blimey. It's a great big museum." Rose says just after her "An alien museum. Someone's got a hobby. They must have spent a fortune on this. Chunks of meteorite, Moon dust. That's the milometer from the Roswell spaceship." The Doctor says pointing out different parts of the displays "That's a bit of Slitheen! That's a Slitheen's arm. It's been stuffed." Rose says recognising the arm and The Angel nods at her giving her a thumbs up.

"Oh, look at you." The Doctor says with a smirk "What is it?" Rose asks pointing at a robotic head in its display case and a shiver crawls up Eirene's spine, cybermen terrified her, the thought of unwillingly being turned into an emotionless robot having your brain removed and crammed into a suit, she couldn't imagine what that was like.

"An old friend of mine. Well, enemy. The stuff of nightmares reduced to an exhibit. I'm getting old." The Doctor says before picking up The Angel after seeing the fear on her face "Is that where the signal's coming from?" Rose asks and Eirene gives her a terrified look 'Oh I hope to heavens not.' Eirene thinks to her father who smirks "No, it's stone dead. The signals are alive. I recieved two although one of them struggled to come through clearly so... Something's reaching out, and something is really struggling in calling for help." The Doctor says looking between the two girls and just as The Doctor touches the display case and an alarm goes off.

Armed guards rush in from all sides and cut them off from the Tardis so they can't go back inside "If someone's collecting aliens, that makes you two Exhibits A and B." Rose says quietly before they are dragged by the guards and lead towards some kind of office.

"What does it do?" A man by a desk asks a younger boy who holds an alien device and The Angel tries to get a good look at what he's holding "Well, you see the tubes on the side? It must be to channel something. I think maybe fuel." The younger man says and Eirene sees what it is and struggles to hold in a laugh and even her father smirks "I really wouldn't hold it like that." The Doctor speaks up making the guard glare at him "Shut it." The guard says to him and The Angel gives the guard a glare.

"Really, though, that's wrong." Her father says and The young man looks intrigued "Is it dangerous?" He asks and The Angel shook her head as her father answered the young man "No, it just looks silly." He says and Eirene goes to reach for it but they hear firing bolts click all around them, making her roll her eyes. Were they really afraid of a child? The main man hands her the curved, palm sized object "You just need to be..." The Doctor trails off as The Angel carefully strokes the instrument and it makes a noise.
