Midnight Pt. 4

"You can't say that" the Doctor says.

"I'm sorry, but you said it yourself, Doctor, {Y/N}. She is growing in strength" Dee Dee says.

"That's not what we said" the Doctor says.

"I want to go home. I'm sorry. I want to be safe" Dee Dee says.

"You'll be safe any minute now. The rescue truck is on its way" {Y/N} says.

"But what happens then, {Y/N}? If it takes that thing back to the Leisure Palace, if that thing reaches civilisation. What if it spreads?" the hostess asks.

"No, because when we get back to the base, we'll be there to contain it" the Doctor says.

"You haven't done much so far" Val says, "especially her" she points to {Y/N}.

"You're just standing in the back with the rest of us" Biff says.

"She's dangerous. It's my job to see that this vessel is safe, and we should get rid of her" the hostess says.

"Now, hang on. I think perhaps we're all going a little bit too far" Hobbes says.

"At last. Thank you" the Doctor says.

"Two people are dead" the hostess says.

"Don't make it a third. Jethro, what do you say?" the Doctor asks.

"I'm not killing anyone" Jethro says.

"Thank you" {Y/N} says.

"He's just a boy" Val says.

"What, so I don't get a vote?" Jethro asks.

"There isn't a vote. It's not happening. Ever. If you try to throw her out that door, you'll have to get past me and {Y/N} first" the Doctor says.

"Ok" the hostess says grabbing {Y/N}.

"Fine by me" Biff says.

"Hey, wow, wow, ok let me go" {Y/N} says as the hostess ties her to a chair "really?!" she watches as her screwdriver rolls out of her pocket, she sighs.

"Oh, now you're being stupid. Just think about it. Could you actually take hold of someone and throw them out of that door?" the Doctor says.

"Calling me a coward?" Biff asks.

"Uh, yeah, would be really great if you could untie me" {Y/N} says.

"Who put you in charge, anyway?" Val asks.

"I'm sorry, but you're a Doctor of what, exactly?" Hobbes asks.

"He wasn't even booked in. The rest of you, tickets in advance. He and {Y/N} just turned up out of the blue" the hostess says.

"Where from?" Val asks.

"We're just travelling. We're travellers, that's all" {Y/N} says.

"Like immigrants?" Val asks.

"Who were you talking to? Before you got on board, you were talking to someone. Who was that?" the hostess asks.

"Just Donna. Just our friend" the Doctor says.

"And what were you saying to her?" Biff asks.

"He hasn't even told us his name" Val says.

"The thing is though, Doctor, you and {Y/N} have been loving this" Jethro says.

"Oh, Jethro, not you" {Y/N} says leaning her head back onto the arm rest.

"No, but ever since all the trouble started, you've both been loving it" Jethro says.

"It has to be said, you both do seem to have a certain glee" Hobbes says.

"All right, we're interested. Yes, we can't help it. Because whatever's inside her, it's brand new, and that's fascinating" the Doctor says.

"What, you wanted this to happen?" Val asks.

"No" {Y/N} says.

"And you both were talking to her, all on your own, before all the trouble. Right at the front, you were talking to that Sky woman, the three of you together. I saw you" Biff says.

"We all did" Val says.

"And you both went into the cabin" the hostess says.

"What were you saying to her?" Biff asks.

"We were just talking" {Y/N} says.

"Saying what?"

"You called us humans like you're both not one of us" Jethro says.

"He did. That's what he said" Val says.

"And the wiring. He went into that panel and opened up the wiring" Dee Dee says.

"That was after" the Doctor says.

"But how did you know what to do?" Val asks.

"Because we're clever!" {Y/N} shouts, growing frustrated.

 "I see. Well, that makes things clear" Hobbes says.

"And what are we, then? Idiots?" Biff asks.

"That's not what I meant" {Y/N} says looking at the floor.

"If you're clever, then what are we?" Dee Dee asks.

"You both have been looking down on us from the moment we walked in" Val says.

"Even if he goes, he's practically volunteered" Hobbes says.

"Oh, come on, just listen to yourself, please" the Doctor says.

"Do you mean we throw him out as well?" Biff asks.

"If we have to" the hostess says.

"Look, just. Right, sorry, yes, hold on, just. I know you're scared, and so are we. Look at us, we are. But we have all got to calm down and cool off and think" the Doctor says.

"Perhaps you could tell us your name" Hobbes says.

"What does it matter?" the Doctor asks.

"Then tell us" the hostess says.

"John Smith."

"Your real name."

"He's lying. Look at his face" Biff says.

"His eyes are the same as hers."

"Why won't you tell us?" Jethro asks.

"It's a simple enough question" Dee Dee says.

"He's been lying to us right from the start."

"What's your name?" the hostess asks.

"No one's called John Smith. Come off it" Biff says.

"Oh. My. Gosh!" {Y/N} says, still trying to untie herself.
