PARADOX: The Misadventures of Elizabeth Smith CPThe legends say it started with a fire.Others say it started with power.Some even say it started when it was abandoned.But the truth is....it started long before that.I should know, I’m the one they’re talking about after all.They call me Paradox, that’s my name.I have...other names. ‘Project Amelia’ for one, the only one I’m known for on Earth than my real name.‘Keller’ for another, sometimes ‘Banner’, sometimes ‘Langer’ if I’m lucky and sometimes, even ‘Ross’ or ‘Watson-Holmes’. One time I even got to use the name ‘Winch
My Bad GirlThe Doctor stared down at the picture in his hand. It was of River, or, rather, young River. Mels, as Amy still called her.Lovely dark skin, silky black curly hair, and "bad girl" stamped on every inch of her.He felt a strange tingling. Everyone sort of disapproved of young River. She was a rule breaker, an authority ignorer, a rebel.If he'd met her when he was in school, he'd have loved her instantly.It's not like he had a thing for bad girls. He usually preferred good girls, the kind who were always fighting the good fight. He'd known scores of them.So, why was it River that made him tingle?No doubt his professors would say it w
DaddySometimes River would catch Rory just staring at her. She knew he was looking for his daughter.Sometimes River would find Rory staring at her. He tried not to be obvious about it, but she could feel his eyes cataloging each of her features. Memorizing them, almost desperately drinking them down.It was strange, she knew he was memorizing his daughter’s features. But this was Rory. She’d played tag with him as a child. Watched him being a total wet rag where it came to Amy and generally grew up with him, knowing him as the loyal but somewhat pathetic dork.It was disconcerting to have him staring at her. Oh, she’d always
A Very Good DayHe wasn't getting any younger, and his companions were ganging up on him."This is never going to work!" Rory whispered."It will if you'll quit dawdling. Come on, River is keeping him distracted." Amy crept silently past the lower door to the console room, hunched over and tiptoeing like the burglar in some old comic strip.He looked up to the console. Yes, River was keeping him distracted. She was kissing him, quite enthusiastically. And if the location of his hands were any indication, he was enjoying it.He squashed down his fatherly instincts, knowing neither of the older people above him would care what he thought, and not willing t
VengeanceThe Doctor took River thousands of years into the future and just left her there... But now she's hunted him down, and she's furious... [Set after Let's Kill Hitler]"Hello Sweetie." The voice was husky, and guttural.The Doctor turned to see River standing in the doorway of the abandoned ceremonial hall. He grinned. "River!""You bastard!" She shot him.He fell to one knee in shock. Searing pain and nausea roiled through him from the quarter sized hole burned out of his shoulder. She'd unerringly hit the vulnerable hollow above his collarbone. It wasn't fatal, but his eyes were blurring.His ears were ringing, but he could see the blurr
