Passing through the gateway, Aubrey let out a sigh of relief and tossed the handgun away as she fell to her hands and knees, almost kissing the ground. Dreth, meanwhile, whirled around and pointed his sonic at the portal. Buzzing it for a few seconds, he watched as the purple hue at its center winked out of existence, sealing the hellish realm off. Planting his hands on his knees, the Seeker let out a short chuckle.

"Well," he said, glancing over at his companion. "That was quite the adventure."

"Adventure? You call running for our lives an adventure?" She asked, incredulously.

He shrugged. "Compared to some of the shit I've been through, that was nothing. Still, for someone who's never been in a situation like that before, I can see how you'd be... upset. But hey, at least we made it out."

"Barely," she scoffed, dusting off her clothes as she got to her feet.

"Better than not at all, wouldn't you say?" Dreth retorted, shooting her a lopsided grin.

Aubrey, however, scowled.

Unperturbed, the Time Lord nonchalantly tucked his sonic into his coat pocket as he surveyed the area.

"Anyway, I say we get moving. I see some very unhappy looking officers coming our way..." he said, nodding at the uniformed men and women across the square from them. Readjusting his clothing, Dreth calmly walked in the opposite direction, Aubrey following along breathlessly. Although this whole situation was still somewhat hard to comprehend, she didn't exactly feel like sticking around to explain things to the officers or risk ending up in prison due to entering a cordoned off area.
