“Doctor”, Nyssa’s undertone was filled with Concern, “Tegan..”
“Not now, Nyssa”, the blonde Man with a Celery told her, he was busy repairing something in the Console Room.
“You don’t understand, Tegan said she felt sick, and she just dropped!”, the Horror in Nyssa’s Voice was undeniable. The Doctor’s eyes widen, he quickly stopped what he was doing and rushed to Tegan's Room.
There she was, laying on the Bed seemingly unconsciousness, to Doctor’s surprise Nyssa dragged her to the Bed without anybody’s help. Of course, who could help her? It was only the three of them, Adric.. He has been gone for a while.
The Doctor didn’t waste any time and quickly checked her Pulse, “She is alive”, he quietly said with relief.
“Doctor, what happened to her? First she seemed alright, then she felt bad and now this?!” Nyssa clearly wanted to know what happened.
“I don’t know”, he admitted to her, “I really don’t”, he tapped his chin and thought to himself.
“Is it the food?”, Nyssa asked in hopes her suggestion might be it.
“Impossible, the TARDIS Food Machine is the safest Food you can get, perhaps.. perhaps..”, he stopped himself before saying it.
“Perhaps what, Doctor?! Look, you need to tell me!!” “
The Mara.”, he said grimly, “Perhaps it’s her Body reacting badly from the Episodes that the Mara gave her or perhaps.. no it can’t be”
“Cant be what, Doctor?!”
“I don’t know”, he darkly admitted.
Suddenly Tegan started to mumble to herself, to Nyssa it was gibberish, to the Doctor.. It was gibberish as well. No surprise there.
“Tegan, can you hear me?”
“Doctor..?”, she mumbled, confused.
“Tegan try to focus, open your Eyes very slowly and tell me how many Fingers am I showing?” The Doctor asked, showing no Finger.
“Doctor, you are not showing me any Fingers!”, she complained as she helped herself to sit down.
As soon as she did that, Nyssa wrapped her Arms around her, giving the Australian a massive hug.
“Alright Nyssa, calm down!”, she kindly said.
“I thought you were poisoned or worse..”
“Oh no I am alright, we Australians are build differently”, Tegan gave her a soft reassuring Smile.
“Doctor?”
“Yes Tegan?”
“You can leave our Room now”
The Doctor opened his Mouth, seemingly about to protest, but he just sighs, “I am just glad you are alright, but don’t forget we have to do some Scans to make sure you are truly alright”
“Alright Mom”, Tegan said mockingly, while rolling her Eyes.
