The Doctor ran, Jack right on his heels, through the corridor. The Daleks were following, picking up the pace, when they suddenly... Stopped, and turned around. Jack and the Doctor watched as the Daleks moved away— after trying to kill them only seconds ago? Just as they relaxed, thinking that all the Daleks had disappeared, one came rolling down the corridor. Jack held up his gun, the charge almost gone, but was interrupted by the Dalek's scream; "I am not a Dalek, I am a Dalek l am not a Dalek!"
The Doctor tilted his head, confusion overtaking him as he was hit by deja vu.
"Mercy!" The Dalek cried suddenly. "Mercy! Mercy!"
"No, no it can't be..." Jack stumbled back as the Doctor raced past him, tearing towards the Dalek. "Clara?" The Doctor asked, hands shaking as he rested his hands on the hard shell.
"Mercy..." Uttered the Dalek softly, the shell opening with a hiss. "Mercy," whispered Clara as she fell from her seat in the shell, the telepathic circuits disconnecting easily, if painfully.
"You're safe," she whispered. "I hacked them. They can't remember you. You're safe..."
And with that she passed out, the Doctor cradling her gently as Jack looked on, wondering if this, this girl that had just saved them, could be the infamous Clara Oswald - the woman that made the Doctor forget before stealing a Tardis and running away.
A/N: Complete for now, may add an explanation chapter for Jack's sake.
