Doctor Who Oneshots

How You Met (10th Doctor)

"Exterminate!" You hear a loud explosion behind you as the thumping of your heart in your ears get louder and louder. Your feet pound hard on the asphalt as you run as fast as you can. You dare not look back as the wind from the speed you're running whips your hair back behind you. You're sweating and you know you shouldn't run like this, but you can't stop. The adrenaline, the pure fear, is driving you.

You can't stop. You won't stop until you're away from that oversized pepperpot of death. Your breathing is labored, you feel the sting of the air on your cheeks. There's a pain starting in your side, but you'd rather deal with that than be killed by that thing. There's tears in your eyes. Your family was murdered right in front of you. The sound of their screams echo in your ears, yet another thing driving you. You can't stop running, can you?

You see a man through your blurry tears running towards you. He has a long tan trench coat and wears a brown pinstripe suit. His hair sticks up in multiple directions and it looks like he's wearing white converses.

"Run!" You yell at him, noticing he's not running to you, but to that thing. That murderer.

The man keeps going and suddenly, you halt. Everything catches up to you. The exhaustion is too much...

You see another pepperpot of death coming towards you and you let the tears fall silently, awaiting your death.

Darkness is already coating your vision, so you collapse. The last thing you hear is "Extermin-."

You gasp loudly and cough hard, your breath stuck in your lungs. You try to sit up, but feel a hand push your shoulder back down. Your eyes are still blurry, you can't see anything.

"Calm down, it's okay." You hear an unfamiliar voice say. He's a male, probably around 20 years old. He sounds friendly and very concerned.

You blink a few times and look around, furrowing your eyebrows. You don't recognize where you are. "Where am I? What is this place?"

It looks so... futuristic.

"Its a med-bay. You're exhausted, mentally and physically. You just need some rest." The man states. You look up at him and realization hits you.

"You're the man from the street... did I die? Did we both get shot and this is heaven?" You ask, sitting up again. This time he doesn't stop you. You feel pain in your side but you don't care.

"No. I saved you. The Daleks-"

"The what now? Daleks? That's those pepperpots of death?" You ask, whipping your head to face him. He's actually insanely handsome...

"Pepperpots of- what? Yes, yes, they're daleks. They're gone. You can get back to your life as if they were never there." The man stated, standing up and walking around the room.

You freeze for a second and a tear escapes your eye. "They killed my family. I don't have a life to go back to." You sigh.

The man looks at you with understanding and sadness. Like a fresh wound cut open.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." The man sighs. "What's your name?"

You blink at the question for a second. "Uh... (Y/n). (Y/n) (L/n)." You blush, introducing yourself. "What about you then?"

"I'm the Doctor." He smiles, holding his hand out to you to grab. You do so and he helps you stand.

"Doctor who?" You ask, walking with him slowly. He lets you lean on him when you hiss out in pain and stumble.

"Careful! You did get a light graze." He holds you up and you breathe heavily. "Its just the Doctor."

"Just the Doctor... interesting name." You crack a joke. "Alright, I'll go with it."

He smiles at you and you walk slowly down a long series of hallways... strange little hospital.

"This... isn't a human hospital, is it?" You ask quietly.

"No, no it's not. It's not even a hospital. She's a space ship." He says as he brings you into a room with a strange console in the middle. You gasp at it for a second and you notice his excitement grow. "She's called the TARDIS."

"Awesome. In in a space ship." You grin and try to walk around on your own. "Its pretty big for a space ship isn't it?"

"Oh you have no idea. Wait till you see what it looks like on the outside." He grins. "So... where and when to, (full name)?"
