Bang! The doctor stood waiting, to old now to care for mere wounds but he didn't see what was coming next. Jenny his precious daughter, so like him in so many ways, genetically like him in fact he thought to himself briefly thought to himself as the bullet shattered her precious tissue , as he felt her life force draining away from her as she crumpled to the floor, he followed suit.
"Come on Jenny; hold on to me "He pleaded with her frantically, eyes locked on to her childlike expression, "Think of all the stars we can see, hey? All the planets we can visit? "Jenny could see her father was desperate now for comfort, he seemed so scared, anything now that she said could maybe save him some pain that would come. "Dad…" She began, the words sticking in her throat, to weak now for a full conversation. "Hush now Jenny, save your breath my love "the doctor was whispering peacefully now in old high galifrean, a language so old and forgotten but comforting to hear from him, as her grip on reality slipped further away and she closed her eyes to the pain and finally gave in to the darkness.
Laying her down peacefully on the floor, hand still folded across the wound that brought about the end of her short but brilliant existence, he turned to the general, the fury of a time lord had finally returned. "I never could. I never would. When this new world of peace and harmony happens make the foundations of this place just that. I never could."
Later , after the formalities had been completed and the terraforming process had started , Jenny was brought back to the tardis and placed for now in the zero room, and friends sent home, for now the time lord needed to visit some old friends in the form of torchwood , his ever faithful friend jack harkness had alerted him to the possibility of something that could cure his problems from now until the end of time ,and he would fight teeth and bone till he could get it. That thing was one of the universes most sought after but mystical items . A resurrection casket.
