Do you want us to just... pick one? Or is there one continuum specifically that you want us to pick and try to work with?

Since you said Doctor Who, I imagined both of my agents-to-be as Time Lords. I immediately envisioned a scene where a Dalek got into their TARDIS while they were charging it. One agent had been busy messing with the central computer, and turned around just in time to see his partner run around behind the intruder and jump on its rear side.

The following dialogue ensued.

C: "Get down off of there!"
L: "No way! This is kick-ass!"
C: "It's going to... to hurt you!"
L: "It can't! Its gun and little plunger thing are on the other side!"
D: "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!!!" (Dalek spins around, blasting from its gunstick wildly)
L: "Stop spinning around! Go forward! Out the door! I'm the Dalek Rider, I say where we go!"
C: "Did you just quote the Eragon movie? Of all the things to say in a crisis..."
L: "Nick, I say some things because I'm joking about them. I say other things because I didn't have the time to think of anything better. This... (Dalek smacks into the wall in an effort to dislodge its passenger) Oof. This is both cases."
(Dalek spins faster)
D: "EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!" (fires wildly at TARDIS ceiling)
L: "So this is what it feels like to be nauseous. Can't say I recommend it."
C: Oh, for cog's sake!
(Copernicus knocks the Dalek over)
"Ex-Ter-Min...ate." (Dalek shifts back and forth, trying and failing to right itself)
C: "Look at him. He's like a turtle that's been tipped onto its back. I almost feel sorry for him. I probably would, if he hadn't broken in, smacked into the walls, and scratched the new paint.
L: (stands up, brushing dirt off his coat) "Plus, I think it was trying to kill us."
C: "Really? I'm going to need to buy a new lock for the ship."
L: "Let's sonic the top open before it gets itself back up. I want to see what button the squid-blob pilot pushes to make the gun work."

These two are going to be fun to write.
Also, that is possibly the multiverse's most easily toppled Dalek, but that's neither here nor there.
