"Hey" Jenny whispers to Cline who happened to be guarding the cell, he turns and looks at her.

"I'm not supposed to talk to you. I'm on duty."

"I know. Guarding me. So, does that mean I'm dangerous, or that I need protecting?"

"Protecting from what?"

"Oh, I don't know. Men like you?" Jenny kisses Cline through the bars whilst taking his pistol.

"Keep quiet and open the door" she says pointing the gun at Cline.

"I'd like to see one of you try that" Donna says, the Doctor and {Y/N} look at her as she walks away.

"I see, Jenny has your side of flirting, Doctor" {Y/N} says laughing a little.

*Time skip*

The four walk down the stairs, Jenny who was walking in front goes to round the corner but is pulled back by the Doctor, there is a guard on the lower flight of metal stairs.

"That's the way out" {Y/N} says, Jenny raises the pistol.

"Don't you dare" the Doctor says.

"Let me distract this one. I have picked up a few womanly wiles over the years" Donna says.

"Let's save your wiles for later. In case of emergency" {Y/N} says rummaging around her coat pockets and pulls something out, a few moments later a clockwork mouse grinds to a halt behind the guard. He picks it up and Jenny karate chops him from behind.

"We we're going to distract him, not clobber him" the Doctor says.

"Well, it worked, didn't it?" Jenny asks.

"They must all have a copy of that new map. Just stay there. Don't hurt anyone" the Doctor says.

*Time skip*

The Doctor checks the map he took from the guard, as they all walk through the tunnels.

"Wait. This is it. The hidden tunnel. There must be a control panel" the Doctor says, both him and {Y/N} start looking around.

"It's another one of those numbers. They're everywhere" Donna says looking at the number which read 60120714.

"The original builders must have left them. Some old cataloguing system" {Y/N} says shrugging.

"You got a pen? Bit of paper?" the Doctor pulls out a pen and a pad out of his coat and hands it to her "because, do you see, the numbers are counting down. This one ends in one four. The prison cell said one six."

"Always thinking, all of you. Who are you people?" Jenny asks.

"I told you. I'm the Doctor."

"The Doctor. That's it?"

"That's all he ever says" Donna says.

"So, you don't have a name either? Are you an anomaly, too?" Jenny asks looking at the Doctor.

"No."

"Oh, come off it. You're the most anomalous bloke I've ever met" Donna says as the Doctor and {Y/N} get into the control panel.

"Here it is" {Y/N} says.

"And Time Lords. What are they for, exactly?" Jenny asks.

"For? They're not, they're not for anything" the Doctor says.

"So, what do you two do?"

"We travel through time and space."

"They save planets, rescue civilisations, defeat terrible creatures. And run a lot. Seriously, there's an outrageous amount of running involved" Donna says, the door opens.

"Got it!"

"Squad five, with me."

"Now, what were you saying about running?" {Y/N} asks as they all run through the door.

*Time skip*

The Doctor stops running just before the array of laser beams criss-crossing the passage, {Y/N} bumps into him.

"That's not mood lighting, is it?" Donna asks, {Y/N} moves from behind the Doctor and tosses the clockwork mouse into the lasers. It gets disintegrated "no, I didn't think so."

"Arming device" {Y/N} says, as the Doctor works on a blue box nearby.

"There's more of these. Always eight numbers, counting down the closer we get" Donna says as she writes down 60120713 onto the notepad.

"Right, here we go" the Doctor says.

"You'd better be quick" Donna says.

"Corridor."

"The General" Jenny says, starting to walk away.

"Where are you going?" {Y/N} asks.

"I can hold them up."

"No, we don't need any more dead" the Doctor says.

"But it's them or us."

"It doesn't mean you have to kill them."

"I'm trying to save your life" {Y/N} walks over to her.

"Listen to me. The killing. After a while, it infects you. And once it does, you're never rid of it" she says.

"We don't have a choice."

"We always have a choice."

"I'm sorry."

"Jenny" {Y/N} and the Doctor say.

"This door, now" Jenny runs around the corner and a few seconds later exchanges of gunfire sound.

"I told you. Nothing but a soldier" the Doctor mutters.

"She's trying to help" Donna and {Y/N} say at the same time.

"Jenny, come on!" the Doctor shouts.

"I'm coming!" she replies just as the lasers go out.

"That's it" Donna says.

"Jenny, leave it! Let's go" the Doctor, {Y/N} and Donna run down the corridor.

"Jenny, come on. That's it" {Y/N} says.

"Hurry up" Donna adds, the lasers reappear.

"No, no, no, no, no, no. The circuit's looped back" the Doctor says.

"Zap it back again" Donna says.

"The controls are back there."

"They're coming" Jenny says.

"Wait. Just. There isn't. Jenny, I can't..." the Doctor says.

"I'll have to manage on my own. Watch and learn, Father" Jenny throws away the weapon and somersaults her way through the laser beams, the Doctor and Donna watch wide eyes and {Y/N} grins.

"I see she has your athletic skill, {Y/N}" the Doctor says.

"You bet she doses" {Y/N} replies.

"No way. But that was impossible" Donna says.

"Not impossible. Just a bit unlikely. Brilliant! You were brilliant. Brilliant" {Y/N} smiles as Jenny lands in front of her smiling as well she grabs onto {Y/N}.

"I didn't kill him. General Cobb, I could have kill him but I didn't. You were right. I had a choice" Jenny says jumping up and down a little that's when Cobb and the soldiers appear at the other side of the lasers. Donna and Jenny run, leaving the Doctor and {Y/N} looking at Cobb.

"At arms" Cobb says.

"I warned you, Cobb. If the Source is a weapon, I'm going to make sure you never use it" the Doctor says.

"One of us is going to die today and it won't be me" Cobb says as the Doctor and {Y/N} run away from the hail of bullets.
