[b]2009 - New York City, New York, United States of America, Earth[/b]

It had been a pleasant afternoon for the Doctor. He had just come back to earth with his companion, a nice chap from New York City. Though the outer space adventures had been a bit too much and the Doctor knew it was time to put him back where he belonged. While he wasn't very fond of goodbyes, perhaps because they were too painful for him, he knew they were important to many humans on earth. "So I guess this is it then." He said and patted the dark haired college student on the shoulders a bit awkwardly. He and the young adult had been traveling the cosmos for some time but at the moment, it was sunny out and the human had only been away from his part time job at a dingy Starbucks for five minutes. The Doctor sighed and looked down and stepped back. There weren't any other words that were coming to mind. He was becoming a bit closed off, while he cared deeply for each person he allowed onto the TARDIS, there had been a lack of a connection lately and he found it increasingly difficult to shake the lonely feeling. And with another human deciding that earth was safer than some random asteroid or alien planet, he could only oblige, not one to force people along if it didn't fancy them anymore.

"Take care Doctor." The student said stiffly.

"You too." He replied and turned around and walked down a block before making a left and heading into an alley where he had just parked his prized blue box. He wondered if the last place he had taken him, had been the final straw. They had gotten out of another nasty trap just in the nick of time. Perhaps the strain was too much for the boy, perhaps it put things into perspective and that was all he needed. The Doctor didn't know and he refused to ask. He unlocked his TARDIS and quickly stepped inside, not too keen on picking up another stray from the same year. It just felt wrong. He hurried over to the control panel and began working with the dials and flip switches. As he went to work on deciding where to go next, something on the screen in front of him turned mauve, the usual color for a distress signal. Something or someone was in danger. He ran around to another area of the circular controls and pressed a few buttons and kicked the console. "Come on then!" He urged it to follow the signal. The Doctor was always ready for an adventure, ready to help anyone in need. The machine rattled about which caused him to grab onto the nearest solid object. The man with the sweeping brown hair and suit began to laugh as the familiar sound entered his ears, the TARDIS was humming, singing her usual tune.

It was music to the Time Lord's ears. When it stopped, he moved over to the console and looked at the data in front of him. "I see...very interesting." He muttered. "You've done it again, sexy." He said to the TARDIS and patted it happily. "Now then, let's see what is waiting for us." He said and began to scan the area. The time and space machine had parked itself in the outskirts of Oxford. He recalled it being a lovely place. He checked the scanner and smiled to himself. "Oh the Silurian...a lovely bunch of people who inhabit the lower core of the earth. They're relatively harmless. I wonder who or what woke them up...it's probably too soon for the merging of humans and Silurian, though the humans are related to them...maybe a family reunion wouldn't be so bad. You never know. People and aliens coming together to live and learn from one another..." He trailed and turned to see he was alone. "Ah yes..." He walked over and down the ramp and out into the world. He closed the door behind him, it already locking with ease. He looked around and breathed in the fresh air, feeling like he was almost home. In way, he possibly was. The Doctor enjoy many alien races but for some reason, he had a soft spot for humans. They were so flawed but had so much potential inside of them.

Everything seemed peaceful so far, nothing out of place.

He had gotten a signal that the race had been awakened. He looked around and slipped his sonic screwdriver out of his pocket and began to scan the area. He wasn't one for a lot of flash or flair, his screwdriver suited him just fine. He noted the signal was coming from the university. 'Of course.' He told himself and hurried along. He didn't see anything out of place, He walked over to the nearest building and smelled it. "Hmm." He then back up and noticed he was standing in front of the school's welcome center. It smelled somewhat welcoming. The Doctor grabbed a map to check out the area around him. His nose scrunched up as he saw the building which may hold a key to this mystery. It was the room where many artifacts were stored. He loved to visit museums just to keep score of who was more right; him or the historians. It was always him. They usually mislabeled something or didn't do enough research but it wasn't his fault that he had vast amounts of knowledge and couldn't share it with just anyone. He also disliked archeologists. He just didn't care for them much. The Doctor scratched his head a little and then ran his hand through his thick brown hair. A few females on campus were watching with interest but he rarely noticed anymore.

Clutching the map in hand, he hurried off toward his new destination. He could feel it in his bones, it had already happened. He needed to make sense of everything before chaos broke out. As he ran along, he took out his screwdriver, trying to get a read for the area around him. The blue light helped point him in the right direction. No one else seemed to be as frantic as he was so he took it as a good sign. The man in the tan tailored suit slowed down as he neared the building. As he looked at the building, taking in the surroundings, he felt someone run right into him. "Ow hey..." He winced and then looked to see a frightened looking blond. He bent down to help her up and then scanned her quickly. "You've done it haven't you?" The Doctor asked her. "You're the one who summoned the Silurian. Oh boy." He sighed but decided it was obviously unintentional but that's what the alien force had been likely counting on. "I'm The Doctor." He said, answering her question proudly. "And I haven't been here in ages, looks about the same though." He said off handedly. "I need you to calm down and show me exactly where and how you let the Silurian out. They're an alien race you see, very fascinating people. Well I was wrong, they're not really alien, they're more like you than they are me." He tried to explain quickly as he pushed her back into the building. "These type of Silurian are new to me though, but they're old adaptations of humans from millions of years ago."

"Say, what were you doing here anyway? You should really be careful..." He smiled to her, voice trailing off to see if she'd fill in her name for him.
