Author's Note: for all Different World fans you'll be glad to know I started another Different World fic called A Different World: A Year of Nightmares.
There was a blinding flash of light before three people appeared gasping and leaning on one another. Jack moaned quietly to himself, the Doctor held onto his sides while Rose clung on to him as if she was going to faint any second.
"That was horrible" Rose managed to get out.
"Non capsule travel in the vortex, it's a nightmare on the body" Jack said "I puked the first time I did it, you two managed well though"
"This is why the TARDIS is so much better than that bloody wristwatch" the Doctor said smugly. "Speaking of which we need to find her"
"How do you know that the TARDIS and that Master bloke are here?" Jack asked.
"I locked the co-ordinates on the TARDIS so she would only go between where we were to the last place we've been"
"Which was naturally 2007" Rose muttered.
"He can be anywhere" the Doctor said. "So be on your guard, who knows who he might be"
The three of them walked down the street side by side, the Doctor couldn't help but notice that everyone was subconsciously taping out a beat.
"Great we missed the election" Jack said looking disappointed, checking the date on a nearby newspaper. "Damn I wanted to vote for Saxon"
"Who's Saxon?" the Doctor asked.
"Not sure really, he's a great man, wonderful. Going to change Britain for the better" Jack said.
They stopped before a large flat screen in the middle of the town and watched everyone applauded as a brown haired man and a redheaded woman walked down the steps.
"WHOO!" Jack shouted "Saxon did win; I was going to vote for him"
Rose looked gobsmacked at the screen as Saxon bent down to kiss the redhead, Saxon stopped before the cameramen and beamed. "Thank you, thank you"
The Doctor paled. "That voice…I recognise it"
"Bloody hell the Master bloke is our Prime Minster" Jack blurted out.
"And he married Donna" Rose said slowly.
"Oh that poor man" the Doctor said sympathetically causing Rose to whack his arm. "Ow! Rose!"
This country has been sick" the Master said into the camera. "This country needs healing, this country needs medicine, in fact I would go as far to say that what this country really needs, right now, is a Doctor"

Rose led them up a hill to an allotment garden while the Doctor explained to Jack how the Master was literally the master of hypnosis and he probably has Donna believing that she really is Rose Saxon (Jack told them everything he knew about the Master and his wife. When he mentioned Donna's fake name Rose looked worried while the Doctor's eyes darkened and jaw tightened.
"So why are we going to an allotment in Chiswick?" Jack asked after the Doctor finished his explanation.
"Because I know someone who can help us" Rose said calmly, she stopped by a shed where blankets and a telescope were left outside by the door. "Wilf? Wilf are you in here?" she called out.
The shed door opened and an old man no older than seventy came out with a grin on his face. "Wolfie my girl! Good to see you!" he hugged Rose so tightly that he managed to lift her up in the air for a few brief seconds. "Where is my Donna, hmm? And who are these men?"
"This is Captain Jack Harkness an old friend and this is the Doctor" Rose introduced them to the old man. "Guys this is Wilf Mott, Donna's grandfather"
Jack shook Wilf's hand and murmured a how do you do while the Doctor enthusiastically shook his hand and babbled about how nice it is to meet some of Donna's family and what a lovely girl Donna Noble is.
"Wilf we have a problem" Rose said softly. "I messed up; a man called the Master has kidnapped Donna and the TARDIS and now-"
"She's Rose Saxon wife to Harold Saxon our prime minister" Wilf finished. "Wolfie you think I wouldn't recognise my own girl on the magazine cover? Problem is Wolfie she doesn't seem to recognise me, I asked Donna a sly question once and she said time wasn't linear and that I probably just saw her future self and she ignored me because she couldn't damage the timeline but now you said she's been kidnapped....Wolfie what happened to my granddaughter?"

She could barely make out the reporters words but she could hear the words 'not Rose Saxon' and 'you're really Donna Noble, I have the prove here' and she fought against the darkness, the drums that kept her locked up and quiet for what felt like centuries.
"Help" she croaked.
"Mrs Saxon? Ms Noble? Are you there? Do you need help?" the reporter's soft voice broke through to her.
"Help me" she whispered.
"I will Ms Noble but I need you to help me as well" the reporter said softly.
Her sight was clearing up, she could just make out a cream coloured room with an older blonde woman looking at her in concern, she was breaking free and then she felt him, in her mind it was worse than a storm or a wolf this was hell in her head and she screamed.
She was being pushed back into the darkness and she could barely make out the reporter's voice and she can hear other men's voices as well by the sounds of it they were body guards or something, she could feel a pair of strong arms pick her up and carry her away.
"Lock her up in the green room, I'll see to her myself" the Master said coldly to the guards. "Now excuse me I must tend to my wife" She felt herself being laid onto a bed and someone stroking her hair. "Oh Donna Noble you are a strong one, this is what the fifth time this year you broke out of my control? Very impressive for a dirty ape like you, I was so disappointed at first when I found out you weren't Rose, the girl who looked into the Heart of the TARDIS someone who would hurt the Doctor badly...but no you're better, stronger, more experienced. You Donna Noble are one in the million"

"I knew there was something fishy about Harold Saxon" Wilf said banging his fist against the kitchen table. "Told Sylvia and she just kept saying he was going to change the world, she didn't even notice our Donna standing beside him like some sort of lapdog, then again Sylvia never was the most observant person"
"Hold on if you recognised Donna and yet her mother didn't...i take it none of her friends did either?" the Doctor said looking curious.
"Nope just me" Wilf said.
"Oh Wilf, Rose was right when she said you can help us. You! You fought against the Master's hypnosis! You're immune to him!" the Doctor exclaimed looking awed.
"Is there a chance Donna could be immune to him?" Jack asked.
"Oh I don't know, probably not but our Donna is a fighter I bet she's giving him a tough time keeping her under control" the Doctor said running a hand through his hair.
"Our little general we used to call her" Wilf said proudly. Suddenly an alarm on the laptop said that Saxon was broadcasting on TV.
"The Lord and Master is coming to speak to his kingdom" Rose muttered sarcastically as Wilf turned on the TV.
"Britain, Britain, Britain" the Master said holding his hands together before him. "What extraordinary times we had. Just a few years ago this world was so small and then they came, out of the unknown, falling from the skies"
A clip of a spaceship crashing into Big Ben appeared.
"Oh I remember that!" Rose cried out "Slitheen, ended up blowing up Downing Street"
"Why am I not surprised that was you?" Wilf asked laughingly.
A clip of the ghost and the metal men came on. The Doctor's nostrils flared in fury, the day Jackie was taken away from both him and Rose, even when Rose was not aware of it at the time.
The clip of the Racnoss ship appeared. Causing Rose to smile fondly.
"– time and time again and the Government told you nothing. But not me, Harold Saxon because today my purpose is to tell you citizens of Great Britain…I have been contacted"
The Doctor, Rose, Jack and Wilf leaned forwards in interest.
"A message to humanity from beyond the stars" the Master said, Rose raised an eyebrow, she had to hand it to the Master, he sure knew how to be dramatic. A clip of a metal sphere appeared.
"People of the Earth" it said in a childlike voice. "We come in peace, we bring great gifts, we bring technology, wisdom and protection and all we ask in return is your friendship"
The Master pouted. "Aw sweet" he said in what Rose found a patronising tone. "And this species have identified themselves, they call themselves the Tolcafane"
"What!" both Rose and the Doctor exclaimed
"And tomorrow they're going to appear not in secret but to all of you, diplomatic relations with a new species will begin. Tomorrow we take how place in the universe. Every man, woman and child. Every teacher and chemist and lorry driver and farmer and I don't know…every pensioner?"
The Doctor looked up at Wilf in panic, before lunging to the TV and turning it round to reveal a bomb wired to the TV.
"OUT!" he screamed. The four of them scrambled to their feet, the Doctor snatched up the laptop as Jack herded Rose and Wilf out of the door. They had only just made it out on the street when a loud exploding sound could be heard and the window smashed, fire could be seen.
"Everyone all right?" the Doctor asked.
"I'm fine" Jack said.
"Me too" Rose said gasping.
"Wilf?!" the Doctor shouted at the old man who had snatched up Rose's offered mobile and was dialling a number furiously.
"If he knows about me what about my daughter?" Wilf asked worriedly.
