The Tardis team stood in front of the blue box, ready to part on another adventure. Tony, Natasha, and Wanda stood with them, ready to say their goodbyes. "Well, thank you again for having us" Nova said. "Even if HYDRA did try to take over again"

"At least you guys were here to help put a stop to that" Natasha said.

"It was a pleasure to meet all of you" The Doctor said with a smile.

"Yeah" Rose agreed with a nod. "All of you are amazing"

"Before you guys head off, I actually have some gifts for you" Tony said. He reached into the pocket of the blazer he was wearing. He pulled out three phones, similar to the ones that Nova and Tate had. "These are Stark phones. The latest model. It has all the Avengers contact information, and select S.H.I.E.L.D agents"

"This is a phone?" Mickey wondered with wide eyes as he took his. He inspected it closely. "This is awesome!"

"Wow" Rose gasped as she took her phone. "I don't know what to say"

"You guys are our friends now" Wanda admitted with a smile. "We figured you guys might like to keep in contact with us just like Nova and Tate do"

The Doctor accepted his phone with a smile, and tucked it away in his pocket. "I hope to hear from one of you again very soon" He said as a shared a knowing look with the three of them. They all responded with a nod. They would search for the vessel that the Phoenix force had mentioned, and promised to keep The Doctor updated.

"Oh, Doctor" Nova sighed, patting him on the shoulder. "I'm sure Tony will throw another party soon" She then pointed at Tony, Natasha, and Wanda. "And I expect you guys to take good care of Baby"

"Er, it's actually Tim" The Doctor corrected her.

Nova blinked in confusion and looked at him. "What?"

"Your Tardis. It prefers Tim"

"Tim?" Nova furrowed her eyebrows. "And how would you know this?"

"It told me when I was in there looking for you" Nova and The Doctor continued to bicker about the name of her Tardis as they stepped inside The Doctor's Tardis. Rose, Tate and Mickey all shared amused looks with each other as they followed after them.

Nova had asked for Tate to join her in another room of the Tardis so she could speak privately to him. "What's going on, Nova?" Tate wondered.

"Well, you're my best friend, and I don't want to keep any secrets from you" Nova spoke quietly. She linked her hands together and looked down at them. Tate nodded in return. Was she finally going to tell him the truth about being Peggy Carter? "Does the name Jean Grey mean anything to you?"

Tate furrowed his eyebrows. "Jean Grey? No, I don't believe I know anybody by that name. Why?"

"Last night, I had a dream about a young woman. It turns out it was her dream as well, and she pulled me into her dream. Her name is Jean Grey. She said a voice told her to call out to me. She said something connects us to each other"

Tate found this curious. What could possibly connect his best friend and this stranger she's talking about? Wait a minute. What if Jean Grey was the vessel that the Phoenix force was talking about? Perhaps that's what connected them... "You've got your thinking face on!" Nova commented. "Tell me what it is"

Tate panicked. Nova didn't know about the Phoenix force, and The Doctor didn't want her to know. Not yet at least. "Er, nothing important really" He quickly lied. He proceeded to interrogate Nova more about Jean. "What do you know about this Jean?"

"Well," Nova began to list off. "She's American, she's got red hair. Long beautiful red hair if I might add. Y'know, one of these days, I'd like to have red hair. I think that I--"

"Focus, Nightingale!"

"Right, right" Nova shook her head. "Where was I? Ah! She's a mutant--"

"Wait, a mutant?"

"Yes, she's telepathic and telekinetic. She lives at a place called Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Oh, and she's living in nineteen eighty three" They heard something like an explosion coming from the console room. It caused the Tardis to shake which knocked them both to the ground.

"What was that?" He asked.

"I don't know" Nova said. The both of them got back on their feet. "Let's go check on the others"

The Doctor and Rose were reminiscing about past adventures. "And that weird munchkin lady with the big eyes? Do you remember?" The Doctor asked. "The way she looked at you! And then she opens her mouth and fire comes out!"

Rose couldn't contain her laughter. "I thought I was going to get frazzled!"

"Yeah. One minute she's standing there, and the next minute roar!"

Mickey laughed awkwardly as he watched them. He was beginning to feel left out again. He would've went off to join Nova and Tate but he was currently holding down a button on the console. "Yeah. where was that, then? What happened?" He asked.

"Oh, it was on this er, this er planet thing. Asteroid." The Doctor explained. "It's a long story, you had to be there. Er, what're you doing that for?"

"Because you told me to"

"When was that?"

"About half an hour ago"

"Er, you can let go now"

Mickey took his finger off the button. Rose started laughing. "Well, how long's it been since I could've stopped?"

"Ten minutes? Twenty? Twenty nine?"

"You just forgot me!" Mickey accused The Doctor.

"No, no, no. I was just, I was," The Doctor scrambled for an excuse. "I was calibrating. I was just. No, I know exactly what I'm doing" The time rotor blew up in sparks. It knocked The Doctor, Rose and Mickey to the ground. They all gripped onto the console for leverage.

"What's happened?" Rose asked

"The time vortex is gone. That's impossible. It's just gone" The Doctor said. "Brace yourself! We're going to crash!"

The Tardis came to a sudden stop. Gas masks dropped from the ceiling. The power also turned off. Nova and Tate came running into the console room. "What's going on? Is everyone okay?" Nova asked. She began whipping her head around. "Rose? Mickey?"

"I'm fine. I'm okay" Mickey assured. "Sorry. Yeah"

"What happened?" Nova asked as she walked over to The Doctor. She held out her hand for him. He grabbed it and got up to his feet.

"She's dead" The Doctor said. "The Tardis is dead"

Rose and Mickey also got up on their feet. "You can fix it?" Rose asked.

"There's nothing to fix. She's perished" The Doctor tried flicking a few switches on the console but nothing happened. "One of the last Tardises in the universe"

"We can get help, yeah?" Rose suggested.

"Where from?"

"Well, we've landed. We've got to be somewhere"

"We fell out of the vortex, through the void, into nothingness. We're in some sort of no place. The silent realm. The lost dimension"

Mickey opened the Tardis doors. "Otherwise known as London" He said, followed by a triumphant laugh. The Tardis team stepped outside. They were parked at Lambeth Pier. "London, England, Earth. Hold on" Mickey picked up a discarded newspaper. Rose and Tate crowded around Mickey. "First of February this year not exactly far flung, is it?"

"So this is London?" The Doctor asked. Nova could tell he was a bit skeptical about it, but honestly, so was she. "Your city?"

"That's the one" Mickey nodded.

"Just as we left it?"

"Bang on"

The Doctor and Nova looked up to see Zeppelins over their heads. "Does that include Zeppelins?" Nova inquired. Rose, Mickey and Tate also looked up to look at the Zeppelins. They were massive.

"What the hell?" Mickey gasped.

"That's beautiful" Rose commented.

"I agree with Rose" Tate added. He draped his arm over her shoulders. "They are kind of cool"

"Okay, so it's London with a big international Zeppelin festival" Mickey tried convincing.

"This is not your world" The Doctor explained.

"Unfortunately, he's right" Nova agreed with him.

"But if the date's the same," Mickey paused when he realized. "It's parallel, right? Am I right? Like a parallel Earth where they've got Zeppelins. Am I right? I'm right, aren't I?"

"Must be" The Doctor said.

"So a parallel world where--" Rose was cut off by Mickey.

"Oh come on" He turned around to look at her. "You've seen it on films. Like an alternative to our world where everything's the same but a little bit different, like, I don't know, traffic lights are blue, Tony Blair never got elected"

"And he's still alive" Rose finished. She was staring at a billboard for a product called Vitex Life. It depicted a man holding a bottle in his hand. The bottle was Rose's father, Pete Tyler. "A parallel world and my dad's still alive"

Rose began approaching the billboard. The Doctor followed beside her, muttering protests to her. "Don't look at it, Rose. Don't even think about it. This is not your world"

"But he's my dad and..." Rose touched the billboard, which activated a short film. It was of Pete Tyler repeating the same words. Trust me on this. "Well, that's weird. But he's real" A proud smile grew on Rose's face. "He's a success. He was always planning these daft little schemes. Health food, drinks and stuff. Everyone said they were useless. But he did it"

The Doctor gripped Rose's shoulder and he looked her right in the eyes. "Rose, if you've ever trusted me, then listen to me now" Rose glanced at the billboard. "Stop looking at it. Your father's dead. He died when you were six months old. That is not your Pete. That is a Pete. For all we know, he's got his own Jackie, his own Rose. His own daughter who is someone else, but not you. You can't see him. Not ever" Rose nodded weakly. A frown grew on her face and she looked down at the ground.

Nova placed at hand on Rose's back and rubbed it comfortingly. "I know it's upsetting to hear Rose, but it's for the best" But little did she know, there was a surprise that awaited Nova in this parallel universe.
