Artemis's posts

She paused at the door, relaxing a bit. So glad to see he was ok. She grabbed a Bobby pin out of her hair, attempting to get the lock undone quickly. It seemed like they used a primitive lock, just in case they had a system failure, which worked in her favor.

Once she got it done she moved into the room. “Come on.. there has to be a way out..”

The tardis beeped again warmly, wanting to make sure her new friend was as comfortable as possible. She loved having new friends.

The Doctor smiled gently, putting in some coordinates and moving around the console to get her flying.

It felt like hours before she had woken up, groggy. The men had left after an alarm had sounded, and were busy making for their escape. Her straps had been undone, thankfully, and she sat up. Why did her side hurt so much? She frowned, looking around before standing up and realizing how wobbly her legs were. Crap.

Artemis moved for the door carefully and quietly. There seemed to still be some activity going on outside the doors so she had to be careful. She looked around, grabbing a scalpel, and heading down the hall once it sounded clear. She found herself needing the wall for support, what had they done to her? She hadn’t seen a mirror yet, so it was really hard to tell.. but she felt sore all over. “Christopher?” She called out, hoping she was going the right way and they hadn’t moved her. She stepped into some shadowed areas occasionally, as she heard footsteps coming her way.

Jack nodded, heading up with them to the TARDIS, weapons ready. He knew the Doctor didn’t quite like that, but he wouldn’t let someone harm the little boy they had adopted.. he was family.. and so was Artemis now.

The tardis beeped warmly, glad she seemed to love her room. The Doctor glanced up and smiled gently, “Ready for a new planet?”

Jack dropped the pizzas on the counter, heading down to the vault and hanging up the phone. “Do we have coordinates?”

After what seemed like forever, the experiment had finished. According to all of the data on the screen, they had succeeded, and it was time to try and create a hybrid human time lord next. They collected the data from this alien hybrid, taking it into account and sending the data to a secure location. There was only one final test to be sure it had completed properly.. One of the men, hesitant to do it, knowing what it meant, stepped up to take care of it. They would have the Judoon after them, if anyone found out about this.. but they had been careful. Careful and meticulous..

“If it’s not big enough, she can always adjust the size.” He said softly, hands in his pockets. “I’ll let you get situated.” He added in, moving for the console room.

Arty gave him a gentle smile as she was led off, just glad that they weren’t touching him.. at least for now. She focused on learning the hallways.. left, right, left again..so she could find him. Maybe she’d be able to get out of this and get him.

Once they came to the room, they put her on a table and immediately administered an anesthesia to knock her out, that would keep her from fighting. The research they were doing, they had planned on using on a human, but a trial run on an alien wouldn’t be that bad. The boy was taken for his healing abilities, in case something went wrong.. so the girl was just a plus for them.

Jack answered his phone, pizzas in hand as he walked into the visitor center entrance. “Trin? What’s wrong?”

He led her to the hallway, “Bedroom is on the left, and it looks like your bathroom is connected to it.” He said warmly, smiling. “We can stop somewhere to get you decorations for your room too.. and anything else you might need.”

A few men came up to the pair, moving to grab Christopher away from Artemis.

She immediately turned her back on them. “Hell no! You don’t touch him.” She hissed, ears back, holding him tighter, protective. They would not touch him if she could help it. “Whatever you’re planning- do it to me instead.”

The men shrugged, grabbing her shoulders and forcing them both to a cell. They ordered her to leave the kid in the room, and had to give their, albeit fake, word that they wouldn’t touch him, in order for her to let go.

“Let’s get those to your room. I believe it’s ready now.” He said gently, motioning to a hallway.

She watched him, smiling warmly. “They seem like wonderful parents. I’m glad you have them.” She said softly. She moved to stand next to him and wash her hands as well.

After they were almost finished, however, an alarm started blaring inside Torchwood.. just long enough for her to pick up Chris protectively. “What is that?” She started to ask, as the scene around the both of them changed from inside the base to... what appeared to be a ship.

He chuckled, “She likes you too.” He said softly, opening the doors for her.

She smiled gently, “Yeah. I’ll wash up too.” She said softly, “Your wings are beautiful.”

“She’ll be alright. And she will let me know when she needs to come back. If she’s feisty enough, she’ll land in Cardiff instead of wherever we decide to go next.” He said with a soft smile.
