Chapter 2: Please tell me
Martha held the Doctor as he sobbed; she blinked back her tears and held him tighter. Jack and Ianto watched from the door way, they did not come any closer just in case they scared him.
Ianto used to not like the Doctor because Jack loved the skinny alien, but he feels bad for the alien and on impulse he walks over and takes the Doctor out of Martha's arms and holds him as he sobs.
"It's okay, you're safe now." Martha cooed in the Doctor's ear as Jack came over and all three of them comforted the Doctor.
"T-they did a-awful things t-to me." He sobbed.
"They can't hurt you now." Ianto soothed.
"T-they d-did horrible things t-to m-me." The Doctor stuttered.
"Your safe now, I will not let anyone or anything hurt you." Martha cooed as she took him in her arms and hummed softly in his ear.
"I'm scared." The Doctor said quietly.
"We are here for you." Martha said softly.
"Let's get you back in bed." Jack said and he helped the Doctor up and caught him as he collapsed.

The Doctor woke with a scream for the second time, Martha grabbed him in a tight hug and he sobbed loudly.
"Another nightmare?" Jack asked as he came in the room, the Doctor let out a cry of terror and dove into the corner.
"Please not again." He whimpered and shrank away from Jack as the immortal man came close to him.
"Doctor what happened to you?" Jack asked as he reached out and hand to touch him and the Doctor slapped his hand away and tried to get further back in the corner.
"Don't touch me!" He snarled.
"Doctor it's me Jack, I am not going to hurt you, I promise." Jack whispered as he moved closer to the terrified alien.
"Help me." The Doctor whimpered.
"I intend to." Jack murmured and he pulled the Doctor into his arms and held him close.
"Do you want some tea?"Ianto asked the Doctor gently.
"Yes please." The Doctor said quietly.
"How do you like it?" Ianto asked.
"You make the tea and I will put what he likes in it." Martha said and Ianto nodded.
"We are going to be here for you every step of the way." Martha said and she leaned in and gave him a kiss on the forehead.
"Thank you." The Doctor whispered back and he curled up in Jack's lap.

"Here you go." Martha said as she gave him a cup of tea and a kiss on the forehead.
"Thank you for everything." The Doctor said and he took a large gulp of tea.
"I am going to make breakfast." Jack said as he gently put his hands at the Doctor's hips to move him off his lap and the Doctor let out a whimper of pain and Jack immediately let him go.
"Can I see?" Jack asked gently.
The Doctor nodded and Jack gently pulled his shirt up and both he and Martha gasped when the saw the ugly black bruises on the Doctor's hips.
"I am going to kill the people that did this to you." Jack promised.
"Please don't." The Doctor said softly.
"They hurt you." Jack murmured as he cupped the Doctor's cheek.
"I know, but killing them won't help me." The Doctor argued.
"I agree with you even if I still want to kill them." Jack muttered.
"Thank you." The Doctor said with a smile.
"I am going to fix us all something nice to eat, does that sound good?" Jack asked.
"Yes please." The Doctor answered.
Jack gave him a hug and a kiss on the forehead and he walked out of the room.
"You are going to be okay, I promise." Martha said as she pulled him into a tight hug.
"I have to show you something." The Doctor said as he pulled from Martha's embrace and he unbuttoned his shirt and Martha saw bruises and scratches on his pale skin.
"What happened?" Martha as she looked at the bruises and scratches all over his chest,
"They happened." He said softly.
"Who is they?" Martha asked gently.
"I don't know and I don't wish to, I just want to forget and move on." He murmured.
"You have to talk about it in order to move on." Martha said softly.
"I know." He murmured softly.
"I will always be here for you and if I ever find those sons of bitches that did this to you they will wish they had never been born." Martha vowed.
"One of them was a woman." He told her with a wince.
"I will still make her wish she had never been born." Martha growled.
"Remind me to never get on your bad side." He said with a small laugh.
"You get on my bad side? No need to worry 'bout that, love." She said as she gave him a gentle hug.
Martha had a pretty good idea what happened to him and she prayed that she was wrong, but she had hunch that said she wasn't. Martha knew that even if he had been raped a rape kit wouldn't work because the things that did this to him weren't human, they were heartless creatures that deserved to be treated like they treated their victims. Martha hoped he would talk soon because the sooner he told her what happened the better off he would be.

Jack came in an hour later and the Doctor and Martha were snuggled up together on the bed.
"Here you go; I made you your favorite." Jack said as he set a plate of bread on the Doctor's lap.
"Banana bread?" The Doctor asked softly.
"Yup now you two enjoy your bread and I and Ianto will be in the other room." Jack said and he left the two of them alone.
"Oh this is good." The Doctor moaned as he took his first bite.
He held it out to Martha and she took a bite and her eyes widened. "This is amazing." She exclaimed.

They finished their bread and the Doctor had his head lying on Martha's belly and he listened to her stomach make weird noises.
"Martha?"
"Yes?"
"I am ready to talk a little now."
