Bad Wolf Bay. Again.

Chapter 5

"What?!" He grabbed her shoulders and held her in front of him. "Dad?! No!" He pushed her away, throwing his hands in the air. It wasn't Rose. Of course it wasn't, why would it be. He'd done so much, and this was his reward? He realised now that it had never been her, she was a bit shorter, her hair wasn't as peroxide blonde as hers had been; it was more golden. Her eyes didn't make sense either, they were way greener than he remembered. He'd hoped for her to be his Rose so bad, he hadn't even checked if it was really her properly. "Dad, are you okay? What's wrong?" He had been so caught up in her not being Rose, he'd forgotten about her calling him dad.

"No! No, I'm not your dad! My family died long ago, even in this universe. Why would you say that, who are you anyway?" He tried to stay calm, which wasn't really working. He could see she was afraid of him, tears welling up in her eyes again. However, she wasn't just , not at all; she was angry. He could see the rage written all over her face, as if he'd done something terrible. "Then what have you done to my dad?!", she screamed. Her hands balled up into fists, her entire body was shaking. "I haven't done anything to your dad, I don't even know who he is. What I'd like to know, is who you are. And why you tricked me into coming here", he said, softly. His anger hadn't subsided, it had built up now that he was sure she played a trick on him; somehow getting his TARDIS to think Rose was still alive and well. Maybe he wasn't even in the right universe, and she'd probably done something to the Dimension Cannon.

"I haven't done anything to you, what are you gonna do, you haven't got any weapons; you're not dangerous", she shot back. The fear had left her eyes. "Oh, you've done something alright. You gave me hope and then took it away; that's enough to make anyone dangerous." He didn't raise his voice, but she knew something was up by the way he looked at her. His eyes were dark, shadows falling over his face. Apparently she wasn't one to give up easy as she hadn't walked away. "Yeah? Well, you stole my dad's body, or whatever the hell you've done to him, and I want him back. Now. I've lost him once, and I'm not going to lose him again." Wait, what? Her dad's body? Did that mean her father looked just like him? No, that couldn't be. Impossible. Could it? No.. Well, in theory, maybe. But his metacrisis, and.. He could give it a shot, couldn't he? He was planning to die anyway, might as well try to figure it out before he went. "Are you... Is she, Rose, I mean, is she your... your mother?"

She stared at the ground, shaking and terrified. The tears had left a path through the dirt and sweat on her face, slowly falling down her face. She looked up at him with a mixed expression of anger, fear and grief. "How do you know her name?", she breathed, "Did you kill her too?", the whisper turning in a hiss at the end. So, she was here! Or at least, she had been. How could she be dead? Was this her daughter? And therefore, was this his daughter, in some sort of weird metacrisis way? "I...", he tried to talk, but it hurt just thinking about it. "I used to travel with her, but I left her. I had to leave her, she could never be happy with me and she would grow old and I wouldn't. Living without her; it would kill me. It did, eventually. Or it is, actually. I thought I kept her safe, here. I thought... I thought that she'd be happy, with the other me. She could live out our forever," he uttered softly. Looking up at her now, her face had changed. The grief was still there, but the anger and fear had been replaced by understanding compassion. "I'm sorry," was all she said. "I'm so, so sorry."

"It's okay, you didn't know. It's true then? You're their daughter?" She nodded. This meant that a lot of time had passed since he left them here. At least twenty years, judging by her looks. "You must be the Doctor, the Time Lord Doctor, yeah?", she asked. "Yes, that's me." Suddenly, a scream of agony pierced the air. His TARDIS! He'd been so caught up he'd forgotten her. He ran towards her, bending over her. "What is it? What's wrong?" he asked, trying to find out why she was in pain. Rose's daughter was next to him in no time. "Have you replaced mum already?" she snapped. "No, no, it's nothing like that." He didn't have time for this now, if she died, then so would his matrix and there was no way of saving her. "It's this body, it can't support me. Just like the woman with the fire hair." she spoke, quite loudly for someone in pain. The woman with the fire hair; that had to be Donna. She was right, it was just like the metacrisis, a human body could never support a TARDIS matrix. He turned to Rose's daughter, "She's my TARDIS, the matrix, but my TARDIS is gone so I can't get her back in and if she isn't merged with a dead TARDIS fast, she'll die. And then I can't even save her." He ran his hands through his hair, trying to come up with a solution. She beat him to it though, scooping up the body lying before them and running off, screaming "Come along!" over her shoulder. And he did.
