Chapter 2:
Doctor's POV.
The Doctor mulled over what he'd seen in the young werewolf's mind and wondered if he ever had any chance of convincing these two to keep their hormones in check long enough to get something done... Trust him to get landed with Jack and a permanently horny werewolf...
'Oh well, it could be worse... It could be Mickey I was stuck with...' That thought succeeded in making the horny werewolf look like a walk in the park. Brilliant.
The Time Lord peered round a corner and froze, pulling Riley back suddenly as she moved to forward, and signalling Jack to stay back.
"No. It can't be... But that's.. No!"
"What?" Jack asked. "Doctor, what is it?"
The Time Lord got a stony look on his face and said shortly; "Cybermen."
“What! I thought you sent them into the void!"
"I did, but... no... Davros, the Daleks, they tore holes through the universe, the void too... They must have slipped through, unnoticed..."
"And they ended up here?"
"Yes. Somehow they must have slipped through the cracks, into this time frame... There must have been a gap, even a small one, that let them through..."
"Whoa god."
"Yep."
Riley looked confused, and asked; "What are Cybermen?"
"They're bad news. They were human once, but now they're just a human brain grafted into a metal shell. Mechanical men. Their only purpose is to convert everyone and everything living into them. They're emotionless, ruthless, merciless... and bullets won't stop them..." He said, as the werewolf pulled out a gun.
"It's laser."
"Put it away. There's too many of them. Besides, I don't like guns..."
"Jack's got a gun."
"Yes, but he's not allowed to use it except as a last resort... I won't kill unless there is no other way." He gave her a serious look.
"Neither do I, it's just a precaution."
"Good." The Doctor pulled out his sonic screwdriver, and scanned the area. "They've taken the whole block, we're right on the edge of it, but not for long...They'll move out as soon as..."
"What?" Riley asked.
"As soon as they've 'upgraded' all the prisoners..."
"Upgraded?"
"Turned them into Cybermen." Jack supplied.
"What is that thing, by the way?" She asked, pointing to the sonic device.
"It's a sonic screwdriver."
"What?"
"It's a screwdriver, and it's sonic."
"It opens doors?"
"Yeah, that's right."
"You're going to fight them with a screwdriver?" Riley asked, clearly dubious.
"Yep."
"It's harmless isn't it?"
"That's why I like it. Doesn't kill, doesn't wound, doesn't maim... Although it is very good for turning things on and off..." He said with a grin.
Riley shook her head. "You're mental."
"Yeah... but I'm still brilliant."
She shook her head again as the Doctor crept forward, and Jack and Riley peered around him. The Cybermen numbered in their hundreds already, and the Time Lord had the feeling that it would soon be thousands. They'd already taken this section of the city, it wouldn't be long before they captured and 'upgraded' other parts...
"We're too late to head them off..." The Doctor said, then looked at Jack. "We need to find out where they've been hiding..."
"We need bait." Jack said.
He nodded. "They've seen me before, so there's a chance they might remember me, and possibly kill me on sight... Besides the fact that I'm an 'unknown element.'"
"I know... So, I guess we part ways then?"
"I'll go back to the TARDIS, try to set up a feed... I can knock them all out with the base code I stored in the TARDIS computers, but first I need the codes to access their main control system, from the command centre..."
"I'll get them." Jack said, moving to stand.
"Wait a moment." Riley said, also standing. "If they're as bad as you say, you can't go in alone..."
"Riley, no." The Doctor said, sensing her stubbornness as he said it. "I can't ask you to do that..."
"You're not asking, I'm insisting. I know the city... I can help him find a quick exit if he needs it..."
"If you get caught..."
"I know."
"She'll be fine, Doctor. I'll look after her."
Riley glared at him, and Jack grinned and winked, as he started walking towards the ranks of Cybermen, Riley following close beside him.
The Doctor called out; "Jack!"
"Yeah?"
"Be careful."
"We will." Riley said, and Jack gave him a quick salute before walking off, to meet the Cybermen...
Riley's POV.
As I followed Jack into the street, I saw rows and rows of identical metal men, and the scent and sight of them made my wolf shudder in disgust and fear. These were un-natural creatures. Man-made life-forms.
There was no emotion in their scent and they all smelled identical, metallic. They were wrong, I could tell, and they had to be stopped. I so wasn't getting turned into one of these things. Not ever. I'd die first. Apparently dying was also an option here, as Jack warned; "Just do as they say, and don't resist, or they'll kill you on the spot. We need them to take us to the upgrading factories, and from there we can slip away and find the command centre..."
"Right..."
I could still feel Jack's aura, but now there was a hint of fear, mixed with excitement sharpening his scent, which I was still trying to place. Perhaps I would never find the words to match the smell...
Despite the fear and apprehension that crept through me, the fever burned steadily, warming my blood. I hadn't been with anyone for a while now, and I was going to have to do something about it soon enough... It wasn't a full moon for another two weeks yet, so the fever wasn't yet desperate, but it would be if I ignored it for too long...
"Just follow my lead." Jack said, and walked into the middle of the lines of waiting Cybermen. "Hey, Cybermen! You missed us. We volunteer for the upgrade process... Take us to be upgraded."
One of the metal men turned towards us. "You will be upgraded."
"Yeah, I know."
"All citizens will be taken to upgrade centres. You will come with me to be processed for upgrading."
"Okay, good. That's a start..."
Jack and I followed the Cybermen to what could only be the 'upgrade centre' where hundreds of people were being marched along into a large warehouse that would otherwise have appeared abandoned. There was no need to guess that anyone snooping around would have been 'upgraded' to keep it quiet until now.
Jack slid into line behind a bunch of people and I did the same. The place stank of fear and pain and metal fused with flesh, and a chill ran down my spine and I moved closer to Jack. I so didn't want to be here, but I couldn't let him go it alone... Especially when there promised to be a dance at the end of all this... I really hoped Jack didn't get killed, or worse, 'upgraded.'
"Pst! Riley, come on..." Jack hissed in my ear, pulling me behind a pillar, out of sight. Unfortunately it gave me a chance to look around, and when I did I suddenly wished I hadn't. Everywhere Cybermen were leading or dragging people into chambers where, as far as I could tell, their brains were cut out of their heads and stitched back into a metal suit. Some people, for whatever reason, were simply being incinerated. I assumed leftover body parts were too...
My stomach heaved at the sick sight and sound and scent of it all, and I grabbed hold of Jack as I swayed, and tried not to puke.
"Oh, god! This is just..."
"I know. Try not to look... Come on."
I really tried to do as he said, but I could still hear and smell, and the stench of death and burning flesh and metal, coupled with the sound of petrified, tortured screams was making me gag and my stomach heave. I buried my nose in Jack's coat to try and block out the horrid smell and save my lunch.
"Riley, now may not be a good time..."
"It's the smell." I explained. "If I keep breathing it in I'm going to puke..."
"Ah, werewolf senses. Right. That's gotta suck at times like this..."
"It sucketh badly." I agreed, nose still buried in his neck as we moved off the main floor and into an office.
Jack shut the door, for which I was glad. I let go of his coat then leaned over and puked on the floor. So much for keeping my lunch...
"You alright?" Jack asked, leaning over me.
I nodded. "Yeah... I am now."
"No, you're not."
I managed a weak smile. "No, but I will be... I have to be, 'cos as soon as this is over I really want to get back to saying hello..."
He laughed at that. "Yeah, me too... Not that now wouldn't be good an' all, but having Cybermen all over the show killing people probably tends to kill the mood."
"Yeah, it really does."
"So, are all werewolves telepathic?" He asked suddenly, as he worked at loosening a vent.
"No. Just me. I'm half vampire."
"Neat. How'd you stay outa sight earlier? I never saw you 'til you just appeared suddenly and, might I add, naked."
"I was shadowing."
"Huh?"
"I can hide in the shadows, like wrapping them around myself."
"Like a blanket?"
"Yeah, it's a vampire trait. I can also see in infrared and blur."
"Blur?"
"Basically running so fast no one can see you coming, unless of course they're a vampire."
"You have to shadow naked?"
"No, I was in my wolf form before that. I saw your box appear and shifted shape."
"Ah, and the box is called a TARDIS. Stands for Time And Relative Dimension In Space. It's sort of the Doctor's space ship."
"I was right, he's alien."
"Yep. It time travels too."
"Bullshit!"
"No, it really does."
"He'll have to prove it to me later. So, what? You just travel through space and time with him saving the world and stuff?"
"Yeah, pretty much."
"Wish I had a time travelling space ship... Then I could get away from the crazy bastards that keep trying to kill me..."
"Yeah, I'd get that if I actually had to worry about it..."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing. You'll see..."
That was just annoying. I told him so. "That's no kind of an answer. What do you mean, 'you don't have to worry about it?'"
"I mean... Shit!"
I heard it too. We didn't have long to get into that vent... Jack got it free and gave me a leg up, and I grabbed his wrists pulling him up after me.
"Whoa! With strength like that maybe I should become a werewolf...?"
"Sorry, we're generally born not made, and I have no idea how to do it anyway..."
"Damn. Oh well, we'd better move..."
He pulled the vent back into place and I started crawling along in front of him. Judging by the spike in his aura he was definitely enjoying the view. I wasn't complaining myself, truth be told and the fever stirred again when I felt Jack's hand on my rump, directing me into a shaft to the left.
"That way."
"How do you know?"
"Trust me, I know."
I took his word for it and eventually, after a few more turns, and a few more flashes of heat later, as Jack steered me through the ventilation shafts, we reached a dead end, by which time my hormones were having ideas of their own... I tried to ignore them, reminding myself that getting killed or worse was still definitely an option here if we got caught...
I moved to climb down into the room below, but Jack stopped me. "Wait... I'll go first."
"How? I'm in the way."
"Not for long, lie down."
"What? Why don't I just go?" We both had just as much chance of getting shot as each other, didn't we?
"Because, the Doctor will kill me if I get you killed... We got you involved in this and as far as he's concerned that makes us responsible for you. Now lie down."
I rolled my eyes, but did so and the metal shaft was cold on my front, but I forgot about that a moment later when Jack put his hands either side of my head and flattened himself against my back, wriggling forwards. Heat swept through me as the fever was stirred again, the intimately close proximity sending my hormones into overdrive.
Truth be told I wanted nothing more than to have him right here, right now in the damned ventilation shaft, but I tried to ignore it again, and wormed my way backwards to give him room to sit up.
Apparently I wasn't the only one with over-active hormones right now, and before he jumped out of the shaft Jack turned and pulled me towards him, kissing me rather fiercely for a moment, which unfortunately did nothing to help my hormones and everything to send my head reeling with how bloody great it felt!
He pulled away then, and said; "If anything happens, do me a favour Riley – try not to get yourself killed, or worse, 'upgraded,' cos if there's one thing I don't do, it's Cybermen..." He grinned and dropped out of the shaft.
I took a breath to steady myself and calm my raging hormones, and dropped down after him...
