Oops... What can I say? My lifes been a mess lately.

Anyways! The Doctor, the Stone and Jenny get taken to the Dalek Asylum, the Time Lord shares a secret with Amy that changes the gingers perspective on her best friends and of course the Stone and Jenny make me unsure on who my favourite duo is for this TARDIS team... the Doctor and Stone, Amy and Rory or the Stone and Jenny, ugh too many choices!

It's time to see the first of many different Clara's in Asylum of the Daleks! 

-----

 The Doctor, the Stone and Jenny were all sat at a table in a tea room enjoying tea and biscuits. The Doctor then noticed a cloaked figure with no visible face in the room that was sat across the room and then was opposite the three. "I don't think we asked you to sit."

"There is a woman who wants to meet you."

"That's nice but I'm married."

"She doesn't want to meet only you but also your wife and daughter."

The Stone narrowed her eyes at the figure. Whoever they were they meant business. "We don't discuss our business in public."

"I know." They waved an arm and then were the only ones in the tea room.

"Who are you?"

"A messenger."

"Whose messenger?" The Stone questioned.

"Darla von Karlsen."

"Never heard of her." They shrugged.

They stood up and the tea room changed into a beach. "Where's the tea room?" Jenny frowned looking at her parents.

"You were never in the tea room." The figure replied.

"Oh. Of course." The Doctor nodded. "Psychic projection. Someone's sending us a dream message. Well, I hope we fell asleep somewhere comfy."

The Stone chuckled at him. "Of course you would think that."

"Do you recognise where you are?" The figure asked looking between them both when the location changed again. A dark red sky was above them and rain poured down as smoke filled the air covering the sky in thick smoke.

"Can't remember." The Doctor lied. How do you hang up on this thing?"

"You can't."

"Oh yeah? And what if I just wake up?"

They then were back on the beach in a deck chair. "No, Doctor. The beach isn't real either. You are still dreaming." They then were in space.

"Spacetime coordinates. You will meet Darla von Karlsen here. Her daughter is in danger, and only you can save her. You recognise the planet?" It asked as a red planet came into view.

"Yes." They both replied.

"Say it."

"No."

"Name the planet."

"We will not say that name."

"Say it."

"No!" They protested again before shooting upright under the time rotor. Jenny ran down the stairs and stopped at the bottom staring at her parents.

"Skaro." The Time Lords both murmured.

---

"We got your message." The Doctor said walking in with the Stone, Jenny behind them as they walked up to Darla. "Not many people can do that. Send us messages."

"I have a daughter, Hannah. She's in a Dalek prison camp. They say you can help."

"Do they?" The Doctor questioned. "I wish they'd stop. I love your choice of meeting place."

"They said I'd have to intrigue you both."

"Skaro." The Stone spat. "The original planet of the Daleks. Look at the state of it. Who told you about us?"

"Does it matter?"

"Maybe not, but you're very well informed. If Hannah's in a Dalek prison camp, tell me, why aren't you?"

"I escaped."

The Time Lords both chuckled. Jenny watched them both. "No." The Stone shook her head. "Nobody escapes the Dalek camps."

The Doctor then reached out and touched the woman's hand. "You're very cold."

The Stone froze for a moment before backing up grabbing Jennys hand. "What's wrong?" Darla asked seeing the worry in the Time Lady's eyes.

"It's a trap." The Doctor realised.

"What is?"

"You are, and you don't even know it." The Stone replied. The Doctor stepped back and in front of the Stone and Jenny when a Dalek eyepiece broke out of Darlas forehead. A gun then forced its way out of her right palm, shooting the Doctor first then the Stone and finally Jenny.

---

The Doctor followed the Dalek in front of him. Jenny behind him and the Stone behind her. A Dalek behind each of them.

"So how much trouble are we in?" They heard Rory ask someone, most likely Amy as they followed the Daleks through a dark corridor. The Dalek in front of the Doctor entered a room and the Time Lords walked in.

"How much trouble, Mister Pond?" The Doctor said. "Out of ten?" He smirked slightly. "Eleven."

The ceiling then opened and the floor raised up, the Doctor frowned and looked around before he took the Stones and Jenny's hands. The Time Lords looked around at the multi-story tiers of Daleks around them as they rose up, the White Supreme Dalek nearby with the TARDIS near the center.

"Where are we?" Amy asked. "A spaceship, right?"

"Not just any spaceship." The Doctor grimly replied. The Parliament of the Daleks." He looked her in the eye while he squeezed his daughters hand in reassurance. "Be brave."

"What do we do?"

"Make them remember you."

The Stone let go of the Doctors hand and he reluctantly let go of hers, allowing her to walk around scanning the area with her sonic. "Well, come on then." She walked back to the Doctor as she spoke.

"You've got us." The Doctor called having not let go of Jenny's hand since they arrived he squeezed her hand even tighter. "What are you waiting for? At lone last, it's Christmas! Here we are." He and the Stone closed their eyes.

"Save us." The Dalek PM spoke. "You will save us."

"We'll what?" The Doctor looked at it as the Stone blinked, looking over at Jenny who just shrugged at her mother.

"You will save the Daleks."

"Save the Daleks." All the Daleks chanted. "Save the Daleks. Save the Daleks. Save the Daleks." They all cried. "Save the Daleks. Save the Daleks. Save the Daleks."

"Well." The Doctor looked between his wife and daughter and swallowed hard.

"Save the Daleks!" The Daleks continued.

"This is new."

---

The Stone continued to pace around the room, the Doctor close by with Jenny stood next to him. "What's she doing?" Amy whispered to Rory as they both watched the Time Lady.

"She's chosen the most defendable area in the room, counted all the Daleks, counted all the exits, and now she's calculating the exact distance we're standing apart and starting to worry." Rory said noticing the way the Time Lady was looking at the two humans.

"Oh, and look at him." Amy looked at the Doctor. "He's frowning." She squinted her eyes ever so slightly at the Time Lord. "Something's wrong with Amy and Rory, and who's going to fix it?" The Doctor reached up and straightened the bowtie around his neck. "And he straightens his bow tie." She nodded with a roll of her eyes.

"We have arrived." The Dalek PM stated.

"Arrived where?" The Stone asked.

"Doctor, Stone."

"The Prime Minister will speak with you now." Darla gestured for them to follow.

"Do you remember who you were before they emptied you out and turned you into their puppet?" The Doctor hissed to Darla.

"My memories are only reactivated if they are required to facilitate cover or disguise."

"You had a daughter." The Stone shook her head in disgust.

"I know. I've read my file." She gestured for them to go ahead. The Doctor went first. The Stone kissed Jenny's head and followed leaving the young woman with Amy and Rory. This was a discussion for only her, the Doctor and the Dalek PM.

"Well?" She asked.

"What do you know of the Dalek Asylum?"

"According to legend, you have a dumping ground." The Doctor recalled the legend. "A planet where you lock up all the Daleks that go wrong. The battle-scarred, the insane."

"The pepper pots even you can't control." The Stone narrowed her eyes at the Dalek. "It's never made any sense to either of us."

"Why not?"

"Because you'd just kill them."

"It is offensive to us to extinguish such divine hatred."

"Offensive?" They both repeated with a scoff.

"Does it surprise you to know the Daleks have a concept of beauty?"

"I thought you'd run out of ways to make me sick." the Doctor spat and leaned towards the Dalek. "Hello again. You think hatred is beautiful."

"Perhaps that is why we have never been able to kill either of you."

A hole then appeared in the middle of the floor, the Time Lords followed Darla to it where a planet was visible.

"The Asylum. It occupies the entire planet, right to the core."

"How many Daleks are in there?" The Stone asked while Amy, Rory and Jenny walked over to join them.

"A count has not been made. Millions, certainly."

"All still alive?" The Doctor asked.

"It has to be assumed." Darla explained. "The Asylum is fully automated. "Supervision is not required."

"Chained up?" Jenny asked.

"Most likely rusty but most are yes."

Amy crossed her arms. "Armed?"

"The Daleks are always armed."

"What colour?" Rory said making them all look at him. "I'm sorry, there weren't any good questions left."

"This signal is being received from the very heart of the Asylum." Darla pressed a button and Carmen blasted over the speakers.

"What is the noise?" The Dalek supreme ordered. "Explain. Explain."

"Er, it's me." The Doctor raised a hand making the Store chuckle.

"Sorry, what?"

"It's me, playing the triangle." He admitted. Jenny gigged at him shaking her head. "Okay, I got buried in the mix. Carmen. Lovely show. Someone's transmitting this. Have you considered tracking back the signal and talking to them?" He asked the Daleks.

There was no reply. The Stone sighed shaking her head taking that as a no. "Hello? Hello?"

"Carmen?" The Doctor asked. "Hello?"

"Hello?" A female voice replied.

"Come in. Come in. Come in, Carmen."

"Hello!" The woman was clearer now. "Yes, yes, sorry. Do you read me?"

"Yes, reading you loud and clear. Identify yourself and report your status."

"Hello. Are you real? Are you actually, properly, real?"

"Yes, confirmed." The Stone chuckled. "We're actually, properly, real."

"Oswin Oswald, junior entertainment officer, starship alaska. Current status, crashed and shipwrecked somewhere not nice. Been here a year, rest of the crew missing. Provisions good but keen to move on."

"A year?" The Doctor and the Stone repeated. "Are you okay? The Doctor frowned. "Are you under attack?"

"Some local lifeforms. Been keeping them out."

"Do you know what those lifeforms are?"

"I know a Dalek when I hear one, yeah."

The Stone raised a brow. "What have you been doing on your own against the Daleks for a year?"

"Making soufflés?"

"Soufflés? Against the Daleks?" The Doctor said. "Where'd you get the milk?"

"This conversation is irrelevant." The supreme Dalek cut in.

"No, it isn't." The Stone protested. Jenny frowned wondering where the woman did get milk from. "Because a starliner has crashed into your Asylum, and someone's got in. And if someone can get in, then everything can get out. A tsunami of insane Daleks. Even you don't want that."

"The Asylum must be cleansed."

"Then why is it still here?" The Stone crossed her arms. "You've enough firepower on this ship to blast it out of the sky."

"The Asylum forcefield is impenetrable."

"Turn it off."

"It can only be turned off from within the Asylum."

"A small taskforce could sneak through a forcefield. Send in a couple of Daleks-" he blinked the Stone quietly clapped the Daleks.

"Oh. That's good." She chuckled. "That's brilliant."

"What's brilliant mum?" Jenny asked.

"They're terrified." The Time Lady answered and then looked out at the millions of Daleks. "You're all too scared to go down there. Not one of you will go, so tell me, what do the Daleks do when they're too scared?"

"The Predators of the Daleks will be deployed."

"You don't have Predators, and even if you did, why would they turn off a forcefield for you?" The Doctor asked.

"Because you will have no other means of escape." They both frowned.

Jenny blinked the dots getting joined together in her head.  "They mean you dad." Jenny looked at him. "You and mum."

"The child is right." Darla nodded. "The Predators are what the Dalek's call the two of you."

"Us?" He repeated.

"You will need this." Darla placed a bracelet on the Doctors hand and then the Stone. "It will protect you from the nanocloud."

"The what?" The Doctor asked. "The nano what?"

"The gravity beam will convey you close to the source of the transmission. You must find a way to deactivate the forcefield from there."

"You're going to fire me and my wife at a planet? That's your plan?" He blinked. "We get fired at a planet and expected to fix it."

"In fairness, that is slightly your M O." Rory shrugged.

"Don't be fair to the Daleks when they're firing me and the Stone at a planet." The Doctor glared at Rory.

Jenny then had a wrist band placed on her wrist. "Wait stop." The Stone demanded. "Why do you want Jenny?"

"It is known the Doctor and the Stone require companions."

"She is not one of our companions." The Doctor snorted quoting her. "She's our daughter."

"Oh, brilliant." Rory groaned when a wristband was placed on his and Amy's wrists. "Good oh."

The Doctor groaned. "Don't worry. We'll get through this, I promise. Don't be scared."

"Scared?" Amy repeated smirking as a band was placed onto her wrist. "Who's scared. Geronimo."

"Ha!" The Doctor laughed and then was pushed off. "Oi!" The Stone yelped soon after when she was pushed off to follow him. Jenny was then next followed by Amy and Rory.

"Wrong way up!" Rory shouted. "Wrong way up."

"Jenny!" The Stone shouted.

The blonde managed to reach out and grasp her mothers hand just as the Stone grabbed Rorys leg managing to hold on even when he was furiously kicking them.

---

The Doctor and Amy land near each other while the Stone, Rory and Jenny were beamed down in a different direction. "Hello? Hello?" A man wearing a thick snow coat asked. "Who are you? You okay?"

"Rory? Doctor?" Amy blinked looking around. "Stone? Jenny?"

"I'm Harvey." He introduced himself. No. Who's Rory?" He then chased after Amy when she ran in the snow in hope to find one of her friends.

"Where are you going?" The man shouted chasing her.

---

Not too far away the Doctor grinned scanning the floor with his sonic. An eyepiece just like one for the Daleks popped out the ground and stared at him. Carmen then began to play again. "Sorry, sorry." The woman replied. "Pressed the wrong switch."

"Soufflé girl?"

"You can always call me Oswin, seeing as that's my name. You okay?"

"How are you doing that, eh?" He raised a brow. "This is Dalek technology."

"It's very easy to hack."

"No, it isn't." He protested. "Where are you?"

"The ship broke up when it hit. Somewhere underground, I think. You coming to get me?"

"Doctor?" Amy shouted trying to find him.

"Hey!" He shouted when the eyepiece powered down. "Oi! Soufflé girl! Come back."

"Doctor!" Amy ran up to him.

"Amy! Hey, where's Rory, the Stone and Jenny."

"There was another beam." She pointed to it. "There. Over there."

"Rory?" Amy questioned. "Rory, Rory!"

"I'll try and get them." The Doctor said before trying to telepathically communicate with his wife and daughter, thankful that they had taught Jenny how to properly telepathically talk to them. "Stone?" He first tried the Time Lady and then his daughter. "Jenny?"

---

The Stone winced when Jenny fell on top the Time Lady who fell on top of Rory. "Ouch" Jenny said looking down at them both. "Sorry." She stood up brushing herself off before freezing. Her dad told her about the Daleks, he said that he wanted her to know about their past, the Daleks, the Time war and even the one he didn't speak about, she was old enough to understand. She knew she had siblings that had past away and that her parents were the last Time Lords left.

They wanted her to know where she came from and who she was to the universe.

"Mum." Jenny whispered slowly moving back. "It's Daleks." Instantly her mother shot up protectively standing in front of Jenny, scanning the dark room that held multiple rusted Daleks.  Rory groaned and slowly stood up frowning at the Time Lords before he noticed what accompanied them. "Stay here." The Stone whispered. She slowly moved forward, gently pushing one of the Daleks back. "Inactive." She sighed looking back at Jenny and Rory. "It's okay they won't hurt us."

"Stone? Jenny?" They both heard in their minds.

"Doctor" The Stone sighed in relief.

"Dad!" Jenny happily answered grinning.

---

"You're both okay." He rubbed a hand down his face. "Don't worry I will find you both."

"Not if we find you first." They both shot back no doubt smirking. Oh he really did love his girls.

"I'll race you two." He shot back.

"We came down two days ago." Harvey the man in the big snow coat explained as he opened the hatch to a pod he led the Doctor and Amy  to. "There's twelve of our escape pods. I don't know what happened to them."

Curiously Amy moved the snow with her foot. "Alaska?" Amy read the word off the ship. "That's the same ship as soufflé girl."

"Yeah." The Doctor muttered following Harvey down the open hatch. "Except she's been here a year."

"We should have some climbing rope long enough for that hole." Harvey said stepping off the ladder and moving over to another hatch with supplies.

"Won't you introduce us to your crew?" The Doctor asked.

"Ah, yes, sorry." He nodded. "Guys, this is the Doctor and Amy." There was no movement or reply. "Guys?"

The Doctor frowned and Amy lightly tapped one of their shoulders. A skeleton head then snapped clearly showing whoever owned the skeleton died a long time ago. "Oh, my god." She gasped stepping back behind the ladder.

The Doctor scanned the room. "They're dead." He shook his head moving past them all. "All of them."

"That's not possible." Harvey protested. "I just spoke to them. Two hours ago. We were doing engine repairs."

"You're sure about that, are you?" He raised a brow. "Because I'd say they've all been dead for a very long time."

"But they can't have been."

"Well, they didn't get in this state in two hours." Amy replied.

"No, of course." He nodded quietly muttering now. "Stupid me."

"Of course what?"

"I died outside, and the cold preserved my body." He almost laughed. "I forgot about dying." An eyestalk of a Dalek then grew out of his forehead.

The Doctor quickly grabbed a fire extinguisher and sprayed it in his face. "Amy, the door!" He exclaimed.

"Come on." She groaned trying to force it open. "Come on." The door then swung open and the Doctor continued to spray the foam in Harveys face. Slowly walking forward in the process to force him back, into the room. They both then closed the door locking him in.

"Explain. That's what you're good at." Amy stated. "How'd he get all Daleked?"

"Because he wasn't wearing one of these." He held up his wrist. "Oh, ho, ho. That's clever. The nanocloud. Microorganisms that automatically process any organic matter, living or dead, into a Dalek puppet. Anything attacks this place, it automatically becomes part of the on-site security."

"Living or dead?" Amy repeated.

"These wristbands protect us. The only thing stopping us going exactly the way he did-"

"Doctor, shut up!" She cut in. "Living or dead?"

"Yes, exactly. Living or..." he suddenly realised what was wrong with the ginger. "or..." he looked around the room and noticed all the corpses had glowing eyepieces and were starting to stand. "Dead." He swallowed hard. "In the words of my wife: 'oh dear'." The Doctor then started to kick at the Dalek people to make a pathway, easily slipping through however they grabbed Amy. Gripping her arm as well the Doctor pulled as hard as he could and managed to free her from the creatures. Pulling her through and shutting the door on the Dalek people.

Amy was laughing a little. "Is it bad that I've really missed this?"

"Yes." He chuckled.

"Good."

"I know."

"Unauthorised personnel may not enter the cockpit." The soufflé girl said in an American accent.

"Shut up."

"Oh, Mister Grumpy. Bad combo. No sense of humour in that chin."

"Is that her again, soufflé girl?" Amy asked.

"Yeah, she." He frowned at what she just said. "Oi, what is wrong with my chin?"

"Careful. You'll put someone's eye out." The Doctor grumbled at her. "Scanning you. You're in another of the escape pods from the Alaska, right?" She asked. "Same ship I was on."

"How can you hack into everything?" The Doctor asked. "It should be impossible. You're in a crashed ship!"

"Long story. Is there a word for total screaming genius that sounds modest and a tiny bit sexy?"

"My wife." The Doctor smiled. "but you call her the Stone, only one allowed to call her sexy is me, sorry."

"See what you did there." She shot back. "Check the floor. I'm picking up a breach at floor level. There could be a way out. See you later."

The Doctor looked around for a moment and grinned finding a hatch under what looked like an old rug. "Ah ha! Hatch. Looks like it's been used already and they've tried to block it off behind them."

"Can't imagine why."

"The lower part of the pod is buried, so this must go straight down to the Asylum."

"Where Rory, the Stone and Jenny are."

"Speaking of Rory, is there anything you want to tell me?" He raised a brow.

"Are we going to do this now?"

"What happened?" He pressed on.

"Oh, stuff." She shrugged at him. "You know. We split up. What can you do?"

"What can I do?" He asked this time.

"Nothing. It's not one of those things you and the Stone can fix like how you fix the TARDIS or like how you fix your bowtie." The Doctors face fell a little. "Don't give me those big wet eyes, Raggedy Man. It's life. Just life. That thing that goes on when you're not there."

"Yeah but I want to help."

"You can't help this." She replied.

"And why not?" He countered. "What happened that split you two apart like this?"

Amy stared at him for a moment thinking about what to say before she sighed. "I can't get pregnant. We tried a lot but after whatever happened at demons run, whatever was done to me I can't." The Doctor started to chuckle and then was loudly laughing at her. "What?" He ignored her continuing to laugh. "What, Doctor?"

"Oh Pond." He shook his head. "You can tell me the truth you know."

She blinked. "I am."

The Doctors face fell and he frowned. "Really?"

"Yes."

It was his turn to sigh that time. "Do you know that the Stone thought she was pregnant before?"

"What." Amy stared at him eyes wide.

"Yeah," he rubbed his face, averting his gaze away from Amy, "we both thought she was, it was during the whole moon and 1969 thing, we believed that it was positive from her symptoms but we were wrong and were obviously upset for a while, didn't show it much around you and Rory but we were."

"I'm sorry." She closed her eyes. "I-"

"I'm not finished." He cut in, what was worse was he wasn't even being harsh but actually soft in his tone and calm, scaring Amy even more than she already was by the Dalek asylum. "We were given Jenny by the Universe and even she was taken away from us so soon but we haven't given up in each other and yes some days I think that the life we both live isn't practical for children but there are days where I desperately want to wake up by her side and see a door open with a little girl, or boy running in and up to me, to us."

Amy sniffed not even realising she was now crying or how hard they both had it compared to her and Rory. She was selfish for thinking that she had it worse, worse than them, than the Stone. "I didn't know."

The Doctor didn't reply, not wanting to drag the conversation further, he opened the hatch he found. He stared down the long hole with a large ladder on the side. "Okay, so somebody else got out this way, then."

"Yeah," she quietly replied, "let's go and find them." They went to head down but were stopped by the Dalek zombies hitting against the door. "Oh, hello, hello, hello. What are they up to?" He stood up and looked at the screen. The Dalek zombies were waving a small wristband at the camera.

"What's that?" Amy asked.

"One of these." The Doctor held up his hand. "But where did they get it?"

Amy slowly raised her wrist. "Doctor, they got it from me."

"Oh, Amy."

"Doctor, what's going to happen to me?" She asked. He didn't reply. "Seriously. Tell me... what."
