Lucky Heather (comic story)

Lucky Heather is a Doctor Who Adventures comic story featuring the Tenth Doctor with guest appearances by Heather McCrimmon and Wolfgang Ryter. It was the final Tenth Doctor DWA story.

Summary
Its midnight in the Science Museum, London. Former companions of the Tenth Doctor Heather McCrimmon and Wolfgang Ryter are reunited. They face a "creature" built from museum parts held together by alien microbes inside a meteorite that have created a form with a psychic signal.

Wolfie traps the creature with the magnet of a huge crane. Heather bundles up the meteorite in a Stealth Blanket, blocking the psychic link. Yet as the two friends talk of and remember old times, they fail to notice the meteorite breaking out from beneath the blanket. Another "creature" is made by the psychic influence.

It is only the Doctor's timely appearance with a Mezon Energy Marble powerful enough to ignite the engine of an exhibit. With a blue blast he disintegrates the meteorite. Before they get a chance to speak to the Doctor, he is gone. Their last sight of him is a final goodbye from the TARDIS doorway, they are unaware the Doctor has a fatal amount of radiation poisoning and is on the verge of regenerating at any moment.
