I Understood that Reference
The crash sounded like it came from the living room. Sarna, Howard, and Katniss ran out of the playroom, concerned about their parents. In the living room, a big blue box had crashed through the living room window. The doors to the box opened and the kids ran behind their parents while the adults got into their fighting positions, everyone except Steve whom was trying to calm down Peggy and looking at the box like his mind was playing tricks on him.
“That was better than I expected! But it could use a little less boom next time, Sasha,” said the bow tied man stepping out of the doors. He looked around smiling. He was an inch taller than Clint and stood like he wasn’t quite sure with his long limbs.
“Hello! I’m-” the man started.
“We’re not concerned with who you are,” Tony interrupted, “More worried about why and how you just crashed through my new windows with a phone box.”
“Hold on Tony, I think I know who he is,” Steve said, “You’re the Doctor aren’t you?!”
“Who else is flying around with a blue phone box?” the Doctor replied.
Everyone stared at Steve who chuckled because for once it was he who was the only one that understood the reference, “You guys have never watched Doctor Who? He goes through time and space fighting aliens and saving the universe! That-” Steve pointed excitedly at the box, “- is his ship called the TARDIS, Time and Relative Dimension in-”
“I’m gonna stop your geek fest right there, Blondie,” Tony said, rolling his eyes remembering the week that Steve stayed up for hours watching the show from beginning to end. He turned back to the Doctor “But you rarely leave the UK, so why are you in-”
“DOCTOR!”
A second figure came from the box. She hovered just above the ground in an electric blue aura with face human like if you didn’t count her large eyes in which her bright blue iris took up the entirety of her eyeballs and skin that seemed to be imbedded with diamonds. Her body was elongated and sharp looking and around her neck was a pair of black headphones. Sarna peeked out from behind Loki.
“We don’t have time for formalities! My planet’s army is on its way as we speak!”
The Doctor turned to the girl (?), “This would be a whole lot faster if I didn’t keep getting interrupted! And you’re scaring everyone! Change or go back inside.”
“Like I give two,” the girl grumbled but quickly shifted into a more human like body. Now she had brown skin, blue frizzy hair with a pink streak and more human proportions. The only unchanged feature was her eyes. She slid the headphones over her ears, “Happy now?”
“NOW!” The Doctor said ignoring Sasha, “I’m looking for the four called Sarna, Katniss, Howard, and Peggy.”
Loki, Clint, and Tony tried to push the kids farther behind them.
“But Daddy I want to see!” Sarna whispered not budging.
The Doctor looked down at the little girl struggling to resist her father and scowled, “Wait a second, what year is this?”
“2014, like you said to take us,” Sasha replied.
“I told you 2026!” he shouted, “Why would I say 2014? THEY’RE STILL CHILDREN FOR GOD’S SAKE!”
The group just stared at the shouting man like he was a lunatic. Sarna found it rather amusing.
“GET BACK IN I’M DRIVING NOW,” he continued as he stomped back to his ship. He looked back and said, “I’ll be back in a decade or so.”
