The Universe's Mixer

She'd tried the zoo. It had been like speaking to a wall. Most of the people that worked there seemed unwilling or unable to comprehend what Clara was trying to do. Instead of flatly telling her no, they played dumb until she got frustrated and decided to look for another plan. Well, they might have been playing dumb or the locals were genuinely stupefied. Clara wondered where they had come from.

The next part of the plan was to try and find the source of the dinosaurs. But the streets of The City kept moving her back to places she'd already been. At first she hoped it was a clue, that The City wanted her to help, but as nothing happened it became more and more clear to Clara that the City was keeping her away. Perhaps it thought it was trying to keep her safe? Clara wanted to think nothing but the best of it's intentions. And despite semi regular reports of dinosaur sightings, most disappointingly, Clara had not seen a single one. It was like The City agreed with Peggy Carter that she was woefully unprepared.

Plan C, find someone else to help. Finding a companion must have been harder than Clara ever realized. The rational response to trouble was to run away from it, and while Clara did a far amount of running with the Doctor, she was also prone to running toward danger whenever needed, happily. Maybe too happily.

Stark Tower looked like it might have the sort of supplies she needed to track dinosaurs. She wasn't entirely sure what Stark Tower was or what it did, but it looked very high tech and that was promising provided it wasn't a secret cover for a dalek invasion or something like that. In the lobby she looked uncertain of where to go until she was greeted by a polite robotic voice.

"Yes, I'm here to see Dr. Banner? Tell him it's a... Dr. Oswald," she said.
