Bonnie

[fallsoutofbox]

He'd lost her.

Hellcat didn't like to stay around him all the time - there was a reason he'd included 'cat' in her name; she could be in turns affectionate and aloof, be following him around one day and then spend the next day lounging in a corner the next.

But her moods weren't this changeable. He'd lost her while walking down a corridor. Just turned around at one point and she was gone. Given her abilities...

He crept down the corridor, looking closely at every surface. She was visible if you examined closely enough.

"Hellcat?" he called - not too loudly. The calling was incidental to the searching. "Hellcat?"

[blytheandbonnie]

She looked up at him, instantly sympathetic. "You met Damon?" she asked. Of course he did. That "sarcastic, not-a-policeman" description would have led her to Damon if there hadn't been any other context to go by.

"Sorry." If he'd met him, that would speak for itself.

Bonnie shook her head. "Yeah, he's been in all three worlds with me. Which is weird, because we knew each other back home too." A pause. "He's not my boyfriend, though."

Well, why had she said that? Not sexy at all. Right. Shut up, Bonnie.

[fallsoutofbox]

He looked at her out of the corner of his eye, at that. Shades of the first time he'd met Amy.

"He's a friend."
"Boyfriend."
"Sort of - boyfriend."

"You sure about that?" Two people - especially if they'd known each other before - hopping across realities together. Things had been known to happen.

[blytheandbonnie]

"Positive. I wouldn't be flirting if I had a boyfriend."

Well, that wasn't entirely true, but she wouldn't have meant it, anyway.

She flashed him another of her charming smiles, flipping her hair behind her shoulder. "What about you?" she asked. "Any girl--or guy--that you left behind?"

[fallsoutofbox]

He smiled a little, but there was something serious behind it.

"I left a lot of people behind." If that wasn't the understatement of the millennium.

[blytheandbonnie]

Bonnie looked up at him, and her smile then turned a little less lovely and a little more genuine.

"Me too," and her voice was quiet.

Trading family and friends that loved her for--well, for Damon--wasn't always the easiest thing to think about.

"I'm sorry."

[fallsoutofbox]

His smile turned almost conspiratorial as he looked back at her.

"Had to," he said, looking forward again to scan this branch of hallway for his dragon. "Didn't have a choice."

[blytheandbonnie]

Bonnie eyed him curiously after that smile, and she suddenly reached out to tug on the back of his jacket.

"You didn't have a choice because you got whooshed into this world unexpectedly or because something happened back home?"

[fallsoutofbox]

He glanced down as she tugged on his jacket. She was odd. He liked odd. Which was probably why he was about to tell her what he did:

"Something happened. I had to do a thing. Had to sort of --" He pointed in two different directions with his two index fingers, crossing his hands over his chest. "-- step outside reality. Didn't mean to wind up here, though. Didn't mean to wind up anywhere."

[blytheandbonnie]

"Oh, a thing? Well, that all sounds complicated and technical," she said, keeping a hold of his jacket, swinging it back and forth a bit. "But you're a long way from England, so it looks like you wound up anywhere after all."

"So, you have two hearts, you can step outside reality, and you go by a very mysterious medical title." She released his jacket and stepped in front of him, expression solemn.

"My best guess is that you're a superhero with a really weird secret identity."

[fallsoutofbox]

He paused for a moment, just sort of... taking that in.

"Well, that's one I haven't heard in awhile."

[blytheandbonnie]

"Not correct, then? Not Super Doctorman or Iron Doctor?"

She played with the lapels of his jacket, watching him thoughtfully. "Tell you what," she suggested, and leaned up toward his ear. "If you give me a hint, I'll show you a trick I can do."

[fallsoutofbox]

"...Okay," he said carefully - not shrinking away from her, not obviously... but standing up a little straighter. Putting himself on his guard. Anyone who offered to demonstrate a 'trick' was angling for something.

Still, curiosity hadn't killed the Doctor yet. Not permanently, anyway.

"I came here from England, you're right about that. But I am definitely not from England. And I'm not a superhero." He glanced upward, rethinking that. "...I'm a bit like a superhero. Though that's not how I introduce myself."

[blytheandbonnie]

Not from England could mean anything. It could mean he was born in Canada and moved to England when he was young enough to pick up on the accent.

His being Canadian might explain a lot, actually.

"All right," she said, stepping back as she examined him. "Now for your hint..."

The tiny vampire furrowed her brow, concentrating on a spot above the Doctor's head. And just like that, his fez began to spin, swaying from side to side like it was dancing, and then darted up toward the ceiling, just out of reach.

"Ta da!" she proclaimed, looking up at the fez and looking spectacularly pleased with herself.

[fallsoutofbox]

He looked up in surprise as the fez flew off his head, then smiled down at her. "Superhuman hearing and telekinesis." He did a little hop, his arm stretching upward, trying to reach the fez. His fingers barely brushed it; it spun in midair. "Impressive."

Another, bigger jump, and he snatched it out of the air. "Very impressive. Okay. Superhuman hearing, telekinetic abilities, basic humanoid shape... possibly human. You're familiar enough with the local Earth slang. Some kind of accelerated human. Enhanced human?"

[blytheandbonnie]

"I will never tell," Bonnie said solemnly, though her eyes seemed to be smiling. "You know what they say, Doctor."

She reached up and took a hold of his bowtie, drawing him closer. "No one wants to buy the cow when they can get the milk for free."
