We Let This Happen

(Closed to Mal, Robin and myself)


With a low growl, Sonya glared at the dummy in front of her before flashing a fist out and slamming it into it's 'face' in frustration. It had been a few months since she had last seen Interfector and for some reason, the man had dropped her off on Earth without a single goodbye or explanation as to why. Apparently he had commitment issues he didn't want to face yet. "Agh!" She growled as she swung a foot out and felt a grim smile of satisfaction cross her face as it connected with the 'ribs'.


A sudden beeping echoed around the exercise room, calling for her attention as her eyes drifted over to the screen on the wall behind her. A light flashed on it before the screen came to life, showing her bio-signatures heading for the TARDIS. "No, that's not right, this place is uninhabited, check again." She snapped, her irritation bleeding through her voice as she watched the scanner intensify to show her images this time. Two creatures slowly crept towards the TARDIS through the trees. "You have to be kidding me, I want peace and quiet for once only to have an entire hidden colony try to sneak up on me."


Letting out a low sigh, Sonya grabbed a towel to drape over her shoulders while exiting the room and heading back towards the control room. Once she reached it, a soft scratching noise reached her ears. Reaching over, she slapped her hand down on the speaker button set in the console, her scowl deepening as she tried to calm herself down. "Oi, knock it off!" She snapped sharply, startling the creatures and sending them running back off into the trees. "Come on, Lady. Might as well get out of here before they bring back reinforcements."


Shaking her head slightly, she started on the controls like so many times before. The actions coming easily from the countless times from before as she finally set the TARDIS off into the vortex and landed her safely in a small field outside of Cardiff. Shifting into her jacket, Sonya looked up at the TARDIS ceiling as she hummed softly to her. "Oh, don't you worry about me, Lady. I can take care of myself. You just take a rest, yeah?" Patting the console lightly, she walked out the doors and began walking down the road towards the distant city.

Robin walked down the sidewalk, her eyes trained on the manipulator on her wrist. "Can't bring me to one exciting place, can you? I tell you there are aliens in Italy, so you take me to Cardiff. Wait what am I doing, you're not a TARDIS, you don't know what I'm saying." She growled and flicked herself in the forehead, finding it a bit hard to break the habit of talking to herself. "Well at least there's the rift, something good should come from that..." She sighed, crossing her arms and continuing her stroll, her eyes peeled for anything that looked suspicious.

((I present to you, the shortest and worst intro ever!))

"Good as new, you are.  Beautiful work, if I do say so myself." The Interfector stood from his crouched position as he looked at the Time rotor, his hands on his hips.  He had been working to repair his ship after they hit a very bad magnetic field.  That was the roughest thing he ever experienced, all the shaking and flinging around of metal pieces.  Being an inventor of gadgets he had loads of metal pieces that could be hurled around his control room, causing havoc to himself and his TARDIS.  The ship had broken down while the Interfector was cut and bruised.  It was amazing he managed to pull them out of there before anything lethal occurred.

Now the Time Lord was floating in space, not too sure where to go now.  He sighed heavily then, thinking he should maybe visit a certain Time Lady but didn't feel like facing the storm she would throw his way.  That would probably way worse and damaging than the magnetic field had been.  Rubbing his hands together, he tried to decide before sighing in resignation.  Fine, he'd go to Earth.  If he ran into her it was a sign he should visit, if he didn't then he'd simply fly away like he wasn't there in the first place.

Setting the coordinates manually, the TARDIS hummed as she took him to earth, landing in London like he normally did.  Little was he aware, Sonya was in Cardiff.  He never went to Cardiff.  Straightening his pink tie the Time Lord stepped out of the white capsule and looked around.  People gave him odd looks but he shrugged and started walking down the street, his hands stuffed into his pockets.

A sudden, shrill beeping startled Sonya as she strode into Cardiff. A frown of confusion crossed her face as she pulled the sleeve of her jacket back to stare at the communicator she had gotten from Interfect after they had finally gotten along for the first time. "Ah... He's on Earth." She murmured, hesitating with her finger over the button the call him, debating on if it would be a good idea or not. Finally, with a low sigh and shrug, she pressed it down and slipped into an alclove where no one could see her talking to her seemingly fancy watch.

Staring down at the screen, she waited until it came to life, flashing the familiar Time Lord's face across it. Feeling a small tug on her hearts, Sonya took a deep breath and closed her eyes before talking finally. "Long time no see, dropping off some other poor girl on Earth? Or maybe your just stopping by to visit then taking off again before I have a chance to ask you any questions?" She said sharply, the past few months of anger and frustration leaking through her voice as she stared down at the small image of him. "If you even care to talk, I'm in Cardiff. Come find me." She added sharply before terminating the call and slapping the cover back down on the communicator.

Stuffing her hands into her pockets, she strode out of the small alleyway and back down the main street. Her eyes roaming from one building to the next, searching for a place to sit down and eat. She knew Interfector would find her easily once he got to Cardiff. Their blasted bond wouldn't let it be any other way honestly. Even at this distance she knew he was in London near an old shop she used to go and get clothes from so many years ago when she still thought she was human.

The Interfector blinked as his communicator beeped. He pulled it up to see the picture of Sonya. He blinked rapidly and opened his mouth to say something but she went off like a bomb. Before he could input anything she disconnected and left the Time Lord to sigh heavily. Magnificent, this should be fun. The bitter sarcasm rang in his head as he turned around and made his way back to the TARDIS. He knew he could have looked for her using the bond, but he honestly chose to ignore it most days and secretly didn't want to run into her. But of course Sonya would know he arrived, just as he knew she'd know exactly how he was feeling. Reluctant.

Entering the white capsule he murmured, "Take me to her coordinates." He didn't bother saying anything more, his TARDIS would know and would obey. Within moments he was materializing in the alley Sonya had been talking. He exited for the second time and stuck his hands into his pocket, rounding the corner and followed in Sonya's footsteps until she came into view. He didn't say anything, just waited until she turned around.

Feeling a slight fissure run through their Bond, Sonya straightened her back slightly and turned around to face Interfector. Her first instinct was to run over and wrap her arms around him in a hug, but it was soon squashed by her need to punch him in the face as hard as she could. Knowing full well he could hear these thoughts as they raced around her mind, she slowly began walking towards him with a determined look on her face.

Refusing to let herself choose what one to do first, she let them chase each other through her mind. She didn't want him to know what she was going to do until the second before she did, that way he couldn't stop her from doing whatever one she decided on. Stopping a few feet away from him, she crossed her arms over her chest, staring at his features and feeling her scowl slip slightly. There was no denying their Bond as she listened to his own thoughts, his apprehension, the thought of him not wanting to be there right now. Everything fairly being yelled at her, as if he wanted her to say 'leave'.

Shaking her head slightly, Sonya closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Your not getting off that easy. And you know it, might as well face the consequences." She said shortly, her voice sounding harsher than she even expected as she looked back up at him once more. "Why. That's all I want to know is why, Interfector. Why leave me after all of that, why ignore me. Why would you even think of it?" Her voice rose with each question until she was shouting at him in the middle of the sidewalk, drawing several stares from passerby. "Why would you do it? Tell me, oh great and powerful Interfector! Why don't you want me around!"

The Interfector had anticipated whatever it was she wanted to do. He was honestly prepared for both. A hug he could endure, a punch he's catch. He stared at her blankly as she walked over though he knew she could hear his thoughts. And she was right, he really didn't want to be here.

Even as Sonya stood in front of him and asked those questions, made those accusations, he stood there and took it. But all the while his face was contorting into a deeper rage, his thoughts beginning to buzz faster then either of them could keep up with. At her last question he snapped, grabbing her upper arms in his hands and shaking her once as if to draw her attention. The Time Lord was shouted right off the bat, "Because you did this! Not me! It was you! How dare you tell ME to face the consequences when you are the one who forced this on the two of us. I just needed to breathe, that is a hard thing to do when you are around. I had to leave you here. Earth is your home anyway, is it not?" He released her and took several steps past her, breathing heavily to calm down before he proceeded in a more levelled voice, "To have you know exactly what it is I am thinking it the most unnerving experience in my entire existence."

Sonya's eyes sparked with a golden light as he walked past her. Her fault? Her fault! He was the one freaking out after everything that happened! "Then if you don't like me around, maybe I should just go and use a damn Arch so I'll forget all about you and leave you to your lonely life." She snapped, her voice taking a cool tone that indicated her anger with him as she turned around to face Interfect with absolute hate in her eyes. "I thought I loved you, but I guess there's no point if you can't stand to be around me." She snapped finally before turning back around and going to cross the street before she paused again.

Spinning around suddenly, she strode over to him, unsure as to what she was going to do until her hand swung out and connected with his face with a resounding smack that seemed to echo around the area and off of the buildings beside them. "That is for leaving me here." She seethed, her eyes shimmering with the same golden light from before as her other hand swung up and slapped the other side of his face with the same force. "And that is for telling me you can't stand to have me around." Her voice broke on the last couple of words, tears shimmering in her eyes for a moment before she spun back around and strode down the sidewalk, unsure of where she's going.

Robin's eyes moved left and right, looking just about everywhere but in front of her. That was a mistake. She yelped as she was bulldozed by some random woman storming down the sidewalk. "Oi! Watch where you're going!" She shouted, standing up and brushing herself off quickly. Looking over at the retreating figure, she realized something. Oh, not again. "Sonya? Hey, Sonya!" She shouted, running to go catch up to her. Something must have been wrong, she seemed pretty upset. Then again, its not like you want to move slowly when dealing with aliens. Could be either one. Sighing, she sped up, barely reaching Sonya as she yelled, "Oi! You alright?"

The Interfector was shaking. Each slap he simply took it and shut his eyes tight, battling his fighting instinct so he didn't lash out and hurt her in return. Besides, it wasn't like her hits were any harder than the Time Lords at the Academy. She was already walking away but he decided to take advantage of the mental link since it was just so conveniently there. I said I had to leave you here, not that I wanted to. But I do regret coming back. Thanks for the smack though, you've knocked the sense right into me.

The Time Lord cut it off right there and turned, starting to walk briskly back to his TARDIS. Awkwardly enough, he had to walk the same way Sonya had went. He practically growled, if it was possible for steam to come out of someone's ears it would be happening to him.

Sonya turned to look at Robin before the message Interfect sent her finally clicked into place. Spinning back around, she stopped in front of him, her hands planted on her hips as she simply stared at his face with what could have been confusion. "You..." She started before shaking her head and giving up, the anger suddenly bleeding out of her like hot air out of a balloon. "Just... Never mind." She sighed, turning back around and ignoring Robin as she started walking across the street, ignoring the cars speeding to an around her with their horns blaring.

Just before she reached the other side, a loud horn caught her attention finally. Just as she looked up, Sonya saw the tanker speeding towards her. Before she could move out of it's way, it slammed into her full force, sending her flying into the air and landing on the sidewalk next to the road and rolling along it into the grass before laying deadly still.

Robin shouted for Sonya as she crossed the road, starting to get really worried. What the hell was going on? Her eyes widen at the sigh on Sonya being hit, and her heart skipped a beat. "SHAME ON YOU! Sonya!" She looked around the street desperately, grateful they all stopped in the commotion. Well... most of them, close enough. Sprinting to the grass as fast as she could, her head spun. That wasn't the end, it couldn't be. No way that was it. "Sonya? Sonya wake up!" She crouched down next to her, her head barely processing what was going on. "Oh God..." She took her by the shoulder and shook her, fear running through her body. "Sonya, come on, w-wake up...."

The Interfector's eyes went wide at the site. He watched Robin run after Sonya's body and followed at a slight job, dodging traffic with ease. She wasn't dead, he knew that much through the bond. But she was going to be in a lot of pain when she gained awareness. He made his way over and crouched on the other side of Sonya's body, reaching out to check her vitals. Finally looking up at Robin's face he froze for another reason. "Oh Rassilon..." He muttered at the familiar face. Could this get any worse?

(starting to sound like Mal and SHAME ON YOU this If this is my last chance to say it... Rose Tyler- sucked but Even River would blush at that)

(Mal, you and the filters are becoming fast friends xD)

A dull throbbing brought Sonya back to consciousness as she shifted slightly, vaguely aware of the presence of people near her. Letting out a low groan of pain, she squinted her eyes slightly against the sunlight and stared up at the faces above her. "Ah... I feel like I've been hit by a truck." She mumbled before forcing herself to sit up and rub her head slightly, glancing over at the road in time to spot the trucker hop out of his tanker and run over to where she sat. "Well... I was hit by a truck. Well. I'm fine, you can go now." She added, waving a hand at the crowd surrounding her, mostly to the two closest people next to her with a slight frown on her face. Rassilon, can't a girl be hit by a truck and not be bothered by everyone on the planet?

Letting out a groan of pain, she slowly got to her feet and stretched her arms over her head, testing for anything that might have been broken. Wincing sharply, she sucked in a breath and bent over, a hand clutching her side as a sharp pain lanced through it. "Ah, broken rib. Alright, Lady can take care of that." She mumbled to herself, her foggy memory already pinpointing the location of the TARDIS for her. Turning to look at the two closest people, she forced a grin onto her face and waved a hand. "Yeah, thanks, but you don't have to worry about me. Get going now, see ya..." Turning back around, she slowly started making her way back to the TARDIS before she turned back to look at them with a slightly confused frown on her face. "Look, I don't know you and all, but... I suppose you deserve a thank-you anyway. So... Thanks again." She mumbled before returning to her slow walk once more.

Robin almost died right then and there. "... What?" She had to cover her mouth with her hand as she heard her speak. She didn't know... Turning to look at the other man there, she didn't even try to remember who he was, if she had ever seen him anyway. "Sonya, what do you mean you don't know who we are...? How hard were you hit?" Robin's hands were shaking. This was worse than death. Instead of never seeing her best friend again, she'd see a woman who used to be her friend, but no longer knew. She had no clue... Starting to follow after her, she crossed her arms to try and keep them steady. "Sonya are you sure you have no clue who we are? If you're messing with us, I swear to God..." Taking a deep breath, she looked behind her to the other man, waiting to see if she was going to have to call him over. Assuming Sonya knew him... knew...

The Interfector sighed in relief as Sonya sat up but that relief quickly ran down the drain when he couldn't sense any recognition coming from her. What? No... it couldn't be. His anger with the whole marriage thing was gone as Sonya stood up and began to walk away. The Time Lord looked over at Robin with wide, worried eyes before he reached out to Sonya using the mental connection.

No, you do not forget me. You do not! Sonya! I am the Interfector... we...

He simply stopped and felt completely clueless and... hurt. No, that wasn't right. He never felt pain. Usually his pain turned into anger or hate but this one just.. it just simply hurt. Why had this happened?

Sonya paused on the other side of the street, the faint voice echoing in her head for a moment before vanishing again. Looking over at them again, she sensed something happening, but couldn't wrap her mind around it. He was a Time Lord? Impossible, she and the Doctor were the only ones left, weren't they? And knowing him? Impossible yet again, she didn't know who he was, or for that matter his name.

Her eyes moved from the man over to the younger girl's face, feeling slightly regretful that she didn't know the girl. Obviously they had her mixed up with someone else, the only people she knew was the Doctor and the Master, weren't they? Shaking her head, she felt a slight pain in the back of it. Reaching up, she touched the sore spot gently and brought her fingers around to her face, staring at the blood with a slight scowl. Of course, head injury.

"Look... I don't know you guys. Please just... You don't know who or what I am. I'd suggest staying far away from me. I have horrible luck you see, my own family died because of me being around you know..." She mumbled under her breath, her gaze drifting back over to the man with another confused expression. Again, she felt a small connection with him, as if she could see his thoughts and emotions in her own mind. An unnerving experience to say the least. "But seriously... I have to get going, I have this machine... It'll help me knit right up without any problems. Just... I don't know."

Turning back around, she started heading back to the TARDIS before pausing on the sidewalk, already forgetting where she had parked it. Damn, the damage to her head must have been worse than she thought, maybe she did know them but forgotten like where she had left Lady just now... No, she'd have some inkling about them, some vague spark of recognition if she did know them before. Shaking her head again, she stumbled along the sidewalk before falling against the wall of a building beside her and sliding down to the concrete in pain. There was no way she would make it to the TARDIS in this condition, even if she did remember where it was.

Robin followed after the Time Lord, not caring if it annoyed her. She wasn't going to give up that easily. She picked up the pace as she saw Sonya slide down the wall, her worry growing. Crouching next to her again, she sighed, looking back to make sure that man was coming. She knew him didn't she? He felt familiar... Back to the matter at hand. "Sonya if I didn't know who you are then how do I know your name? How do I know you're a Time Lord, one of the last? That you drive a TARDIS through time and space?" She peered into her eyes, finding she still didn't know. That man, he must be important. "Hey, whoever you are, you must be important to her, come and help. Please?" She motioned him down with a hand, hoping that somehow he had the key to her memory.

((Not bad for an iPod post...))

The Interfector walked after Sonya, his face looks grim. He stopped and hovered back as Robin tried to get through to the Time Lord without success. Magnificent... now he was needed, eh? He looked Robin over and actually felt a tug of guilt for what he did to her in the past. It was probably due to his high emotions at the moment. "Sonya, you need to fix up that head of yours. Maybe we'll be fighting again after that but who cares? At least you'll.. be you." Without another word, the Time Lord dropped down next to Sonya and scooped her into his arms. He was prepared for her to fight him, walking towards the alley where he parked his TARDIS. "Robin, was it? Who I am is not important for the moment. We have to take care of her. Are you coming?"

Sonya let out a surprised huff of air as the man scooped her up into his arms like nothing and started walking in the opposite direction she was headed in. Trying to push herself out of his arms, she kicked her legs out and sucked in a pained breath as another stab of pain shot through her side. Falling still again, she lay stiffly in his arms as he walked along with her. Looking up at his face, she scowled in frustration as another fissure rocked through her mind at the odd collection of emotions and thoughts she got from him. "Who are you?" She finally asked quietly, staring at his face in confusion, not understanding what happened between them.

Biting down on her lip, she let out a groan of frustration as he stayed silent. Reaching up, she flicked him in the forehead sharply, calling for his attention once more. "Who are you to me? Why do I... How can I know your thoughts and feelings like my own?" She finally asked, unsure exactly how she should ask it. She never felt anything like this before with anyone and it startled and frightened her more than anything she's ever faced. Searching the man's eyes, she struggled to make sense of what he was thinking about, trying to get past the odd feeling of invasion she got from him with each thought she had.

Her eyes finally drifted from his face and over to the young girl again, trying to force herself to remember the face. To recognize the voice but to no avail as she only drew a blank on her. "Look. I appreciate everything your doing, but seriously. You can't just pick me up and walk off like this. It's hardly appropriate, especially considering that I. Don't. Know. You." Sonya stated sharply, her eyes shutting tight against the sudden flash of pain in her head.

"You do know us, I swear. You lost some of your memory somehow, probably from hitting your head. I swear on my life that you know us and that we know you." Robin crossed her arms as she followed the man towards... Where ever it was they were going. Hopefully she could trust him, seeing as apparently Sonya was very close to him. How else was she supposed to feel that way... Whatever she said. This whole thing was an utter nightmare.

Trying to piece together who this man was, she thought back on the information she had. He could connect with a Time Lord, a complex one at that. He didn't want to state his name. That was all she had. Who wouldn't want to tell her their name? Searching through her memory, she could think of no shape shifters who disliked her that much. Hm...

The Interfector muttered an ouch when Sonya flicked his head and he looked down at her. He glanced at Robin and sighed, facing dead ahead once more as he stated, "You are... we are... I suppose we are together, in a way. You are my wife." It sounded very factual and his face scrunched up in confused pain as he finally made it to the alley. He walked up to the white cylinder which was his TARDIS and the door slid open. He stepped into his large, homey, control room and make for the back.

"Keep up, Robin, I do not want you getting lost in here. Oh, I am the Interfector, by the way. Sorry. But do not run, I am not... I do not want to hurt anyone any more." He finally made it to the medical bay and set Sonya on a bed.

"Please, just let me help you... I am so sorry." He actually sounded sincere... and conflicted.

Sonya blinked up at the man for a moment before bursting out in laughter. Wife? Married? No! Clutching her side tightly, she let out another burst of hysterical laughter followed by a groan of pain. "Look..." She managed to gasp out, finally looking back up at Interfector with a shake of the head and a wry smile on her face. "I don't know who you think I am, but I would never get married. Much less to someone like you." She mumbled, her eyes rolling upwards as she spoke, trying to process what he was saying properly.

In truth, it would make sense, explain exactly why it was she sensed things from him. She thought she might have read a book about Gallifreyan weddings where the two were bonded mentally. But honestly, why would she ever marry anyone, for that matter, if she did end up hitting herself in the head an forgetting things like she was, she ought to remember him properly anyway. At least something small, his face, a laugh, some vague words he said at one point that meant something to her.

Looking back up at him, Sonya lifted her shoulders into a pained shrug of confusion once more. "Look, I don't know you." She said finally, shifting her feet to the side of the bed and testing her body to be sure it could take her weight before standing up on unsteady feet, one hand reaching out automatically to grab his arm without realizing it. Before he could do or say anything else, she sprinted for the door once she got her balance and ignored the girl just outside of it. Skidding to a stop in the hall, she frantically looked from side to side, trying to remember the way back to the control room.

Letting out a frustrated groan, she choose a hallway at random and ran down it, praying in the back of her mind it was the right way as she followed it's twists and turns. Before long, she found herself lost in the middle of what looked to be a large branch-off room. Several hallways leading off from the circular area to god knows where. Spinning around in a tight circle, she tried to pick a place to go before choosing one at random to disappear down. The last thing she wanted was to be found right now, even if she was lost...

Stopping at the end of it, she faced a door, panting slightly as her hearts struggled to keep up with the fact her body was broken and throbbing like one big wound as she stared at the metal door in front of her in distaste. Reaching out, she gripped the handle and pushed it open slowly to walk into what looked to be an autopsy room. As she tried to turn around and leave, her world spun as the pain from what she had done caught up to her and her mind shut down in order to save her body from feeling anymore, leaving her to crumple up on the ground once more.

Robin practically stopped in her tracks and turned around to run. This was a TARDIS. He was a Time Lord. Who was the only one of them who hated her? The one who almost murdered her. Oh God. Feeling nothing but utter terror, she did as he said, following them through the ship. If it wasn't for Sonya, she'd be out of here already.

Yelping as Sonya sprinted away, she turned to Interfector. "Um.. What?" She looked back the way she left, then back to the torturer. "Better go find her then, she can't have gone far. Um... Which way?" She fidgeted under his gaze, trying to stay calm. BUT HE WAS A BLOODY KILLER!

The Interfector laughed bitterly then, the anger showing in his voice, "Oh, honey, trust me. I am not the marrying type either. But you should have known that when you bonded us together. Until death do we part. And not your type? You seem rather fond of the Doctor. Him and I are very similar. Passionate killers." He really had to get his emotions in check before he went off on an angry rant and ended up breaking something.

As he spoke, she stood up and he stood next to her, to assist her distractedly. And as soon as he was about to move to stop her, having read her thoughts of running before she did, she was already out the door. "Rassilon!" He hissed then turned to Robin, rubbing his head and offering her an apologetic smile. Not that excuses an attempt at murder. But she should know how it is since she hangs around Time Lords. New body, new rules.

"This way." The Interfector commanded as he ran through the hallways, following his nose and the bond to hunt down his reluctant wife. Rassilon, that term was odd. And soon enough he found her crumpled on the ground and he began swearing in Gallifreyan. How could she be foolish to run with injuries like this? But he suppose she was just frightened.

Scooping her back up he turned and began taking her beck to the med bay, looking extremely exhausted.
