[ The room is bright and sterile, full of medical and scientific tools, but many of them are strewn on the floor, metal tables knocks over and against one of the walls, three figures in lab coats are restraining Maggie against the wall as she screams. ]

You can't! You can't do this!

***

[ Maggie is on a bed, held down as they tighten the straps. She's scared and it's so strong that it makes the observer feel her fear with her. ]

You don't know what you're doing! Please!

***

[ It's the now-familiar crystal city. Maggie is sitting on a bridge, her legs dangling down. She looks more peaceful than anyone has ever seen her on the Cape. ]

You'll understand.

[ She turns around and gives a bright smile. ]

"Whoa." She backs away from Mina. "You okay there, Edward Cullen?"

Then she looks back to The Doctor. "Do you think there's a way to learn if it's mine or not?"

[nevermindtherunning]

His eyes dart back to Mina, raising an eyebrow in her direction at the change. What did that indicate?

"Try changing something." He replied, forcing himself to glance back at Maggie. "Manipulate the scenery as you will." Actually, he had no idea. He was basing this off a film he once saw.

"It's 'Mark,' actually," Mina grumped. Honestly. What sort of ponce-y name was 'Edward?' She didn't like it much. But she supposed there were more important matters at stake. With enough concentration, she managed to quell her ego enough to stop sparkling, for the moment.

She stood up, putting her hands on Maggie's shoulders. "Pick somethin' small," she said. Because the Doctor's idea seemed like the best one they had. "It don't 'ave to be an entire building. Change the shape of a stone or somethin'. The colour, even."

"... okay."

She takes a few steps forward, resting her hand on a bench. Her brow furrows and suddenly the bench is bright fuchsia.

"Holy shit. How did you know that would work?"

[nevermindtherunning]

"Just a guess." The Doctor grinned, now pleased to know it was her dream they were in, but was every dream in the crystal city hers?

"Have you seen others here? Other than Mina and myself? People who aren't blurry? Do you know the blurry people?" He just wanted answers!

[primogen_vampirate]

"One at a time," Mina cautioned the Doctor. But she had to admit she wanted answers herself.

Turning her attention back on Maggie, "Let's start with the first one. 'Ave you seen others 'ere?"

[kore_npc]

"I've seen the robot-man and, um, River. Maybe a few others? All these dreams keep blurring together when I wake up. It only makes sense when I'm here, but I've definitely seen those two."

[nevermindtherunning]

"...And the dreams where I've seen you panicking and yelling at someone?" He suddenly speaks softly, oddly hesitant to get the question out and look for answers.
