A typical Doctor Who companion injury [open, post-rebellion]

[splendid_roman]

Of all things, Ian hadn't been expected to be bested by a tree. That it was a tree that moved without the wind should have given him a clue, but, well, it was a tree. He'd got too close, it got a good hit in, he'd landed awkwardly and now he couldn't walk.

It was only his ankle and, feeling embarrassed about the whole thing, he'd intended to just hobble home. Except that it did really hurt. So halfway there he found the nearest teleport and ended up in the medbay.

Ian smiled. "Maybe both. The Doctor can be frustrating at times, but he's a good man to have around."

"He is. I never have the chance to know him very long, but he's always helped." Billy sighed. There were so many faces and places to know. And he hardly had a chance before they were gone.

"You've been dragged along with him too?"

He nodded. "You could say that. We stumbled into his ship and the next thing we knew he'd whisked us off through time and space." He smiled. "I can't say I regret it, though."
