"Who are you?" I asked her.
"Well believe it or not. I'm just like you. A Gallifreyian Timelord." I looked at her shocked.
She was a Timelord as well? But—the Collector said that I was the last of my kind. When he found me as a baby, he told me that I was the only sole survivor.
"You're lying."
"Actually I'm not. How do I know I'm not lying you might be thinking? Well I can tell you that seven months ago, I was a white haired Scotsman."
"Prove it." I asked her. "That you're a Timelord. How do I know you're not lying?" she looked around before finding a stethoscope from a nearby stand. She grabbed it and came up to me and placed the earpieces in my ears.
"Have a listen." She placed the metal part against her chest and soon enough I heard the 4 heartbeats of the Timelord. I looked up at her and she looked right at me with those soft eyes of hers and she said, "Well, what's your verdict?"
"But—it's impossible. I thought I was......I thought I was the only one."
"So did I." she said solemnly. Her eyes now appeared to have a hint of sadness to them. "What's your name?" she asked me.
"I—I was never given one." I said sadly as I looked down. I heard her hum softly and that's when she said.
"Well we can't just call you nothing. Hmm let me think......I'm not good with coming up with names but I'll give it a go." She said before she began muttering to herself as she paced around me. I looked at her intrigued and she would look right at me before getting right up into my face.
It was a little awkward having this strange woman get right up in my face but it didn't make me feel intimidated (not like how the Collector makes me feel whenever he gets up in my face).
"Ah-ha! I think I came up with the perfect name!" she exclaimed happily. I tilted my head. "Lyra!" I looked at her in disgust. "What? Oh c'mon that's a brilliant name. You'd be named after a constellation. And Lyra is a Greek name Lyre, a Greek instrument. And a marvelous one at that."
"I'm sorry it's just that with......this current form I don't know if Lyra is a good name for me."
"Yeah I suppose so. Most beings usually pick a name that fits their look. Well like I told you I'm not really good at coming up with names. I don't think I ever was."
"I....." I started off before trailing off.
"What? What is it?"
"It's nothing I....I can't say it."
"Course you can. Hey you listen to me now love, you can say whatever you want. I'm not like that—monster whose treated you like his possession. So if you've got something to say, you can tell me."
"I—I once did come up with a name during my 3rd transformation. But I don't know if it's any good." She looked at me with encouragement telling me through her eyes that I could freely speak it out. "(Y/n)."
"(Y/n). Hmm......I like it. Yeah it suits you. Alright, (Y/n) I'm the Doctor and I'm busting you out of here."
"Busting me out?"
"Yeah. You know setting you free, freeing you from your cage, all those other freedom metaphors and sayings. Bottom line is, is that you're coming with me and my friends."
"But—the Collector. He'll know that I've escaped. He won't let me leave."
"That's why I've got a plan. Now c'mon let's at least get you out of this storage room and into some real light." She extended her hand to me and I looked at it conflicted. "I promise (Y/n), as long as you're with me. I won't let him or anyone else harm you. I can help you, but you have to trust me first."
