rec: An Unlikely Escape by Lissy Strata

Story: An Unlikely Escape
Author: Lissy Strata
Rating: All ages
Word Count: 1384
Characters: Second Doctor, Jamie McCrimmon, Zoe Heriot, Daleks
Author's Summary: They're trapped in a locked room with a Dalek. Can the Doctor talk their way out of this one?
Warnings: Swearing
Recced because: This feels like it should have been part of a Second Doctor serial. It's got everything that's awesome about TARDIS Team Cute, with Zoe being clever and Jamie being brave and safety clings, and I could see and hear Two perfectly with his brilliant panicked bluffing. It's all wonderfully silly, and then the end happened and I nearly woke up the house with my giggles.


Ahead of them, a Dalek appeared around the corner and they skidded to a halt.

Jamie tried a door on his left. "In here!" They scrambled inside and slid the door shut behind them. It was some sort of control room. Computers and other high-tech equipment lined the walls, along with exposed pipelines. There were no other doors. They were trapped.

"Now what, Doctor?" Jamie asked.
