Robin met Gwen's gaze, but dropped her eyes once the other girl turned away. Something seemed off about all this. Even further<em>off</em>than the fact that there were multiple species of aliens fighting for possession of the Earth. Robin didn't know if anyone else was feeling it, but to her, it felt as if something very bad was going to happen. Very soon.<br/><br/>When the Doctor said that he was going to peek around in her head again, she sighed. She wished that for once her head could just be normal, rather than something to distract the Doctor from what was more important. Her thoughts calmed a bit, though, as she gazed with wonder at the doors opening at the bottom of Big Ben. A small, incredulous laugh escaped her. Big Ben had been one of the things she'd most wanted to see, back before the Doctor entered her life. And here she was, going into the bottom of it.<br/><br/>But as her companion continued talking, her mind returned to the present and her smile dropped off her face. From the way Gwen was speaking, it sounded as if the humans had encountered something horrible. Normally it would have made her mad to hear someone threatening to shoot the Doctor, but at this moment... It didn't matter. Turning to look at the Doctor, she could feel the fear in her eyes, but she shook her head all the same.<br/><br/>"Never," she said simply, taking his hand.
