why do inconvenient things happen to good people ?? it was a question charlie had been asking for a long time. all they had to do was go and check out the time capsule. time lords posed a bigger threat than the people that were actively shooting at them, but they were also notorious cowards, and could generally be threatened into going back where they came from. what they’d found, however, was a girl who looked like she was very far from home.
they had moved through the crumbled ruins like lions creeping through long grass, fanned out, slow and careful, but they hadn’t found the fight they were after. a gunshot had rung out, and charlie had launched forward and slammed into the stranger. all hell broke loose, and when charlie spoke over the rattle of the firefight, she grabbed the young woman by the back of her jacket, throwing her to her feet and hurrying her off the street, into a more sheltered alley. crouching down, she hauled the heavy, steel manhole cover off of a hole in the cobblestones, down into the dark of the sewer.
