“Be honest, and we take 10 percent of what you have. Lie, and we’ll take it all.”

“We have nothing you could possibly want!” The Doctor was quick to answer, though wasn’t so pleased at the response.

“Take it all then.”

“Okay, okay! Hold on.” Jack was eager to avoid being shot at, the last thing he needed was the outlaws knowing he couldn’t die. It also wouldn’t be the best thing if the Doctor got shot, the whole regeneration process would more than freak them out. And if Rose got shot, well he didn’t want that whole fiasco with the Doctor again.

“Well, I have… 50p, this is no use to you, and a key.” Rose told them, attempting to avoid any conflict, but she decided it was best to keep her high tech mobile to herself.

“What about you two?” One of the outlaws gestured at Jack and the Doctor.

“Well I have… my tool.” The Doctor took a second to think how he could stop them taking his sonic screwdriver. “And, oh! Didn’t know that was in there!” He pulled out a sachet of sugar, throwing it at the nearest Outlaw’s feet. Rose gave him a funny look. “What?! You can have that by the way… oh and my…” How could he describe glasses?! “Latest invention!” Alright, he must admit that was a little over the top, especially when even Jack looked at him to say “Don”t try and pretend you invented glasses!’

“I hate to disappoint you, but I don’t have much either, just my weapons and… looks like I have a key too… the key to my house of course!” It was his turn to be looked at, the Doctor and Rose both knew he lived in the hub.

“Ohhh!” they said in unison, now they got it, of course where else would he have a key to.

“Stupid Ianto.” Jack mumbled under his breath, but the Doctor and Rose still heard him.

“Jack!” Rose scolded him, it was almost like they were back in the TARDIS.

“On come on! You know I didn’t mean that!”

The Doctor nudged Rose. “Focus please!”

“Yeah sorry… well as you can see we don’t have much!” Rose refocused on the outlaws.

“We’re travellers, nothing but our transport and a few clothes!”

“And that, I suppose, is your transport?” The man step forward as he spoke, gesturing at the large blue box, which he had to admit, looked pretty strange to him.

“Yes it is.” The Doctor was blunt, he knew it wouldn’t be a good idea to reveal too much.

“Wait a minute, you’re Robin Hood aren’t you? The Robin Hood?!”

“I see my reputation precedes me!”

“Yeah, there are loads of stories about you where I come from!”

“Oh really?!” He sounded quite smug to think he was almost famous.

“Yes, I’ve heard so much about you and Marian, I’d love to meet her!” Rose now seemed incredibly excited at the thought of meeting a childhood legend. “Oh I’m sorry, what did I say?” She couldn’t help but notice that Robin was down heartened. But he didn’t respond to her question. “What’s wrong? Where’s Marian then?”

“She’s… gone, she’s dead alright!”

“Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to…”

“You may say that! You all say that, every time you hear. You’re not really sorry! You don’t know what it’s like!” It was clear to the three travellers that the mention of her really got to him. The other Outlaws did what seemed to be the sensible thing, they quickly disappeared, leaving Robin alone with the three strangers, but they knew he could look after himself.

“No need to get at her!” The Doctor rushed in to defend Rose. “I hear what you’re saying, but I do know what it’s like!”
