Gwen didn't respond to Robin's anger. Instead she continued to stare at her with the same steely expression before turning her attention back to the road.<br/><br/>As she turned the van towards Big Ben the young girl clambered into the back of the van and began to rapidly type on one of the computers. After a few seconds of driving slowly by the tower and tapping at the keyboard, a passageway opened in the side of the great clock tower, revealing a downward spiraling ramp, big enough to let the van through.<br/><br/>"You're not fine Robin," the Doctor spoke with a shake of his head. "You still have the beeping in your head. When we finally stop I'm going to take another look inside your head to see if its changed since we encountered that hole in reality. Hopefully time will have made it easier to interpret."<br/><br/>The Doctor paused and looked out the window, a smile grew across his face as he watched them descend into the tunnel.<br/><br/>"Can I just say...Wow!" the Doctor said with a grin. "A secret base in Big Ben! That makes Canary Wharf, Roald Dahl Plass, the Tower of London and now Big Ben. Will you Brits ever stop finding places to renovate into secret bases?"<br/><br/>"I'm Welsh," Gwen muttered.<br/><br/>"You're also very angry at me," the Doctor replied before shuffled to a seat next to Robin. "And that bothers me. Do you know why that is Robin?" the Doctor asked before gesturing to Gwen. "Its not just because I want Gwen to like me because my naughty friend Jack has told me tons of great things about her, its also because I don't like how rattled she is."<br/><br/>"Gwen here is a topnotch protector of the human race. She's seen monsters and aliens of all different types and sent them packing whenever they've stirred up trouble. She's gone against Daleks, mad men, conspiracies, corrupt governments, killer fairies and even the son of the devil himself and she's survived it all. She's really quite incredible," the Doctor said with no small amount of admiration in his voice, but then his tone turned hard as he leaned forwards and propped his head on the palms of his hands.<br/><br/>"And right now, she's angry and she's angry because she is very<strong>very</strong>scared," the Doctor spoke as he gazed at the back of Gwen's head. "I don't like it. I don't want Gwen Cooper to be that scared. It makes me feel angry. Angry that I can't do more to help, but unfortunately that's because I'm still trying to wrap my head around one question that's been bugging me since we stepped on the van."<br/><br/>The Doctor turned to look back at the girl on the computer and then back to Gwen. "Why are you two the only humans we've seen so far? The Silence said the human race no longer inhabited the Earth, so why are you two here, running about and obeying my strange instructions?"<br/><br/>The Doctor turned back to Gwen, his stare hard as he tilted his head to look her in the eye. "Whats happened Gwen? What became of all the other humans?"<br/><br/>Gwen turned to meet the Doctors gaze. Cold fire burned in her eyes as she looked deep into his own soft yellow eyes. Her voice was hard as she answered; "You're about to find out Doctor. And if you can't help us. I'm sorry, but I think I'm going to shoot you."<br/><br/>"I get the feeling that I would deserve it," the Doctor replied softly before turning towards Robin. "I have a feeling that what we are about to see is going to be a lot to take in. And its also going to be hard to accept. If you want, you can wait in the van when we stop."
