A/N: Hello! New outtakes for you guys! These have been sitting on my computer for a while and well, there was a reason I did an outtake story :) So this particular chapter is an outtake for chapter 22. This was the original chapter that I had written but I decided to go in a different direction. A lot of my outtakes were changed because I felt like I was torturing Rose too much. Anyways, next chapter for the actually story is in my beta's amazing hands right now so it will be up soon. Happy Thanksgiving for those that are reading that celebrate! Enjoy and review!
Rose stared at Mickey in disbelief.
"How...I saw you die."Rose whispered as she stepped closer.
"You never found my body did you though babe." mickey said with a grin.
Rose back away slowly. This wasn't real she was dreaming or hallucinating.
Rose couldn't speak so she just shook her head no while still backing up.
"There was so much chaos that day that you just assumed I died like everyone else. We were set up. Then you disappeared. I'll explain more later but the walls between universes were weakening. Remember the stars going out?" Mickey asked waiting for Rose to respond before continuing. Rose gave a slight nod and stepped further back till her back hit the wall.
"We had to send you home and Jackie, she argued and argued and argued but we explained everything starting with that yellow truck and ending with Torchwood she agreed to help. I've been jumping universe after universe trying to find the right one then me and a River Song person had to convince Donna to turn left, before i could get here. Though to be honest I didn't expect you here yet, but I'm glad you're safe." Mickey went to step towards Rose but Jack grabbed him and shook his head.
"Let's say, that just for a minute, I believe you. Why now? Why not tell me in the other world? Why not have my parents tell me? Huh? TELL ME!" Rose screamed as she stormed towards Mickey, tears streaming down her face.
"We couldn' and Torchwood had to believe that we suspected nothing. Rose, you didn't even notice the changes yet, you were to wrapped up in your grief. Besides if we couldn't get the dimension cannon to work then you would be absolutely crushed all over again. None of us could do that to you again." Mickey said stepping forward and grabbing Rose's hand tightly in his for a second before pulling her shaking frame into a hug. "I am so sorry, we lied Rose, but you have to understand. Please." Mickey whispered into her hair.
"They died Mickey. They died because of me." Rose whispered as more tears racked her body and she clutched Mickey tighter to her.
Mickey froze and raised his head to look at Jack for explanation or confirmation. Jack crossed his arm and looked down at the floor, giving a slight nod. Mickey gasped and clutched Rose tightly, burying his face into Rose's hair.
"Torchwood." Rose tried between sobs. "Mom and Dad wanted to leave town for a few days, to try." Rose paused as another sob bubbled up but before she could continue a door opened behind her and she looked up, take a slight step away from Mickey but not letting go of his hand.
"Jack? You might want to come and take a look at this." Tosh called softly from the doorway leading to one of the many opened offices.
"Alright. Rose? You okay?" Jack asked.
Rose just nodded and Jack touched her shoulder before walking towards Tosh, closing the door behind him. After Jack left, and Rose calmed herself down some, she turned back towards Mickey still refusing to let go of his hand.
"I was so wrapped up in my work after you and the rest of the team died. Mum and Dad wanted me to get away for a couple of days. It took a lot of convincing but eventually I went. It was actually Tony who convinced me..." Rose said with a tight smile. "We were on the way back. I had drove separately because I arrived later than them and was going to go to Torchwood after we got back. Work alothic me." Rose whispered squeezing Mickey's hand tighter. "Mum and them were in front of me, we were less than 10 minutes from home, a truck came out of nowhere and hit their car, the truck never slowed down, till they slammed them into a tree. They all died on impact and I could do nothing but watch. I found out shortly after that it was a trap set by Torchwood. In less than 4 days I was in custody." Rose whispered the last part. She waited for the tears, anger and guilt to hit but it never came. Rose lowered her head and stared at the floor.
"I am so sorry Rose. We were hoping to stop them before it got to that part. Seems I was a bit late. Kinda like himself with the landings. Really I am, can't land anywhere I aim." Mickey said as he nudge Rose's shoulder. Rose gave him a tongue in tooth smile.
"Missed you Micks." She said hugging him again.
"You should've. I'm not just a tin dog." Mickey said laughing and hugging her back.
Jack walked out of the office and was shocked to see the two smiling.
"Hate to break this lovely reunion really I am but I need to step out for a few. I will be back shortly. Clean yourself up Rosie, we have guest." Jack teased before stepping onto the lift that would bring him up at the edge of the park.
Rose eyed him curiously but just shrugged. It wasn't unusual for their to be random 'guest'. Mostly just aliens or people lost through the rift.
"Right. I'm just going to go get cleaned up. Seems I have work to do. Tosh will set you up in a room for the night. Then we will discuss everything tomorrow." Rose said as she slipped back into her commander voice. "Tosh!" Rose yelled. Tosh walked out of the room and Rose nodded towards Mickey and Tosh nodded her understanding.
Mickey recognized Rose's tone instantly and nodded. "Great. It's great to see you again Rose." Mickey said as he gave Rose a quick salute and walked towards the woman he assumed was Tosh.
Rose rolled her eyes and stepped towards the loo down a hallway on the other side of the office. It didn't take her long to clean the smudged makeup and fix her hair.
As she stepped towards the hub, she heard voices that were strangely familiar to her. As she got closer and she saw who it was she stopped at the edge of the hub ,crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes.
"Who came up with that entrance, very genius if I do say so myself, a bit of alien technology and some Time lord tech that you should not have." The man that look like the Doctor said his back to Rose..
"Oh shove off Doctor. It was me who created it." Rose growled.
The man jerked around almost falling over himself. "Oh there you are. Hello." The man said smiling at Rose. Jack hastily stepped forward in between Rose and the metacrisis.
"Rose, that's not-" Jack started but Rose cut him off.
"And you! How dare you!" Rose hissed stepping dangerously close to Jack. "The only thing I have asked from you was to do this one very simple thing. I have followed every stupid rule you have set in place. Hell I even followed your stupid desk duty bull for these past few months. But the second he appears you betray me." Rose spat.
Jack flinched from the anger in her eyes. He had seen this look many times before but never had he seen it pointed on him and he truly understood why her enemies fled faster than the Doctors, she was truly a terrifying creature.
All of a sudden Rose thrust your hand out making Jack jump back into the meta crisis who was silently watching the scene with interest. "The least you can do is let me go. Give me my stuff back and make him forget. This is your fault. You fix it. Give me my bag." Rose growled. Her hand still held out, palm up, waiting for her stuff.
The meta crisis and Donna flinched at Rose's words and watched as Jack paled and started gaping like a fish before he finally was able to put some words together. "You can't leave Rosie." He whispered. The rest of the Torchwood team and Mickey had snuck back into the hub when they heard Rose yelling and the meta crisis and Donna were shocked to see the lack of reactions. Either they were very well trained or they knew this was coming.
"Oi! Blondie!" Donna yelled suddenly. Rose snatched to look at her and Rose relaxed some but not nearly enough. "This." Donna said pointing to the meta crisis. "isn't the Doctor. He is a meta crisis, a clone, he has some of the Doctor, some of me and strangely enough some of you. A totally different person. Now shut up and stop trying to run and fix my bloody head. It is killing me in every sense of the word." Donna yelled as she rubbed her temples with her index fingers.
The anger quickly drained from Rose and she turned towards the Meta crisis.
"What's going on?" Rose demanded looking at the meta crisis for an explanation.
"It's a two way meta crisis. Her brain can't handle it and she is burning. Unless you fix it." The meta crisis said as he shoved his hands in his suit pockets.
"Me? Where is the Doctor?" Rose squawked, looking wide eyed between the three.
"The Doctor was just going to wipe her memories of him. All their adventures, everything about him, all of it just gone and I couldn't see that happen. I have their memories, well some of them, most of them but it's like watching a film, I see but I didn't really live it, anyways the memories you locked away in the Doctor's mind aren't blocked in mine and the Tardis suggested you. She seems to think you can fix her and I believe you can." The meta crisis spoke with absolutely certainty and Rose stared at him, completely baffled.
"And what happens if I can't? I wipe her memories and then I become the bad guy?" Rose asked.
"Rose, you are the Bad Wolf. Your connection to the heart of the Tardis and access to that power will help you save her, I believe. But besides that you are a strong telepathic. Stronger than even the Doctor and this wouldn't be the first time you had to do something like this would it? Somebody, or you would have had to straighten out your own mind when Bad Wolf revealed her full self to you. You mind would have been overwhelmed with all the new senses and telepathic abilities. Your mind would have been a complete mess and you would have been burning. I believe this will be much easier to deal with." The meta cris said.
Rose's eyes were wide but her mouth were set in a firm line confirming the meta crisis thoughts as well as giving a clear message, that was not a topic she was willing to discuss. The meta crisis backed off and gave a nod.
"Do you trust me Donna? Do you want me to do this?" Rose asked turning away from Jack and the Meta crisis. This was ultimately Donna's choice.
Donna gave Rose an offended look. "Of course I do blondie. Otherwise, himself never would have dragged me here." Donna scoffed and rolled her eyes.
Rose smiled slightly before stepping forward. "Right. I am going to try and so help both of em, if this doesn't work I'll kill em." Rose said sending another glare towards the meta crisis who took a step back. Rose took a deep breath then gave Jack a pleading look. "You honestly believe I can do this?"
Jack grabbed her hand and nodded encouraging. "I am absolutely positive you can do this Rosie." Rose stared at him for a few seconds longer before nodding and turning back to Donna, where she stood by the couch.
"Alright let's get to , I'll probably pass out afterwards. Just keep me safe yeah?" Rose asked giving the meta crisis a weary look. Jack nodded and Rose slowly raised her hands to Donna's temple pausing for a second. Donna huffed, rolled her eyes and shoved Rose's hands to her temples causing both of them to gasp at the sudden presence of each other in the other's mind.
"Okay Donna. You know the drill. Doors and all that." Rose said gently.
"You are a lot older than I thought." Donna said with a laugh. Rose laugh with her but quickly got to work trying to untangle the blue, red, and golden strands that were lumped together and pulled extremely tight.
The meta crisis and Jack held their breaths after the girls gasped but after a few seconds of no other signs of distressed they relaxed. Jack moved to the couch and perched himself on the edge, leaning his elbows on his knees and threaded his hands together as he watched the girls, nervously.
The meta crisis began to pace, never removing his eyes off of either Rose or Donna.
"I need a name." The meta crisis said quietly after 10 minutes of tense silence.
Jack spared a quick glance to him and nodded his head. "I agree. Any ideas? Can't be John smith, it would raise too many questions." Jack had turned his eyes back to Rose, carefully watching for any signs that this wasn't going well.
The meta crisis gave a nod before sitting beside Jack on the couch. He looked up to Rose and Donna before speaking again. "You think Rose would mind if I used her name?"
Jack jerked his head to look at the man beside him before giving a smirk. "You want to go by Rose? That could stir up all sorts of trouble." Jack said trying to refrain from laughing.
The meta crisis glared at him. " No, you insatiable flirt. Tyler. I want to be called John Noble Tyler. John for the Doctor, Noble for Donna and Tyler because of Rose. I am a bit of all of them." The meta crisis explained. Jack stopped laughing and gave John a meaningful look.
"She is different than before. I like to believe she is getting better. You would definitely need to ask her first but I'm rooting for you. It's a nice name." Jack said smiling at John.
"Yeah well Rose and Doctor remember?" John said. Donna let out a slight gasp causing both of them to snap their attention back to the girls. "Come on Rose." John muttered sliding closer to the edge of the couch.
"How long has it been?" Jack asked. His fist were clenched tightly together trying to keep himself from worrying.
"About 15 minutes. Not sure, time sense isn't too good, not enough time lord." John said but he quickly stood up as sweat started beading on Rose and Donna's foreheads. Jack stood up with him and watched closely for any signs of distress. After a few minutes of carefully watching them, both of them sat back down.
"I really hope this is working." John muttered as he rubbed his hand down his face and sighed.
"Think so. I mean if Rose couldn't help or wasn't able to help then she would stop and say so. She isn't careless with others just herself. I'm more worried about the effects this is going to have on Rose. She's not invincible. Don't know how much you remember, hell I don't even know what she all she told the Doctor but she can die." Jack said softly.
"I remember her time with the Doctor. When I was created the Tardis unlocked them, on my end only, the Doctor is none the wiser. But for whatever reason mine were unlocked, rather it was because I am a different person or so I could save Donna, I don't know. Rose was...for lack of a better description, harsh. She wouldn't tell him much, told him about her family but she never got into Bad Wolf." John said.
Jack nodded and after a pause he spoke. "She almost died, not to long ago, I put her on desk duty and she has been pissed ever since. I admit, it might have been a tad overprotective but someone has to because she is reckless with herself, very reckless with herself." Jack said scrubbing his face with his hands. "When it comes to saving others, she won't hesitate in sacrificing herself. Especially when it comes to the Doctor. If she could take away all his pain, I honestly believe she would even if it meant she dies in the process." Jack said.
John nodded with a smile. "But that just means underneath it all, she is still very much Rose Tyler."
Jack smiled and opened his mouth to speak but a whimper cut him off.
Jack and John both stood up and moved quickly to the girls. Rose was drenched in sweat and a pained expression on her face.
"She needs to stop." Jack said fearfully.
"I know but we can't pull them apart. We could kill one or both of them." John said as he carefully watched them. His thoughts going wild in trying to find away to get Rose to stop but Donna opened her eyes first.
"Grab her." Donna whispered as both of them collapsed to the floor, leaving Jack and John scrambling to catch them. Jack lowered Rose to the couch and John lowered Donna to the floor.
"What happened?" Jack asked as he checked over Rose.
"Donna seems to be fine but I think they are just exhausted." John said softly after he finished looking over Donna.
"We are fine. Just tired. Rose was out before she ever left my mind. That woman needs to learn to sleep more." Donna whispered as she, with John's helped moved to the couch, gently lifting Rose's head and sitting down, placing Rose's head into her lap. Donna absent mindly smoothed away Rose's sweaty hair from her face.
"She did it." John said proudly. Donna gave him a small smile and nodded, then closed her eyes to sleep.
A couple of hours later, Donna woke up but she hadn't moved from the couch, choosing to sit with Rose and fight away any nightmares that may come about.
"What happened exactly?" John asked from the chair on the other side of the coffee table. Jack was sitting at the other end of the couch, with Rose's feet in his lap, fast asleep.
"I saw her mind. She didn't hide much from me and I didn't pry either but we were walking through each of our minds. Rose fixed my mind easily enough but she made sure I knew how my control center worked and the telepathic stuff, my shields and all that. I told her that could wait till she wasn't exhausted but she wouldn't listen anyways. I saw a lot and I understand her so much better and you know what? I don't blame her at all for being the way she is." Donna said harshly. "It's not my story to tell but if I could get to that other world that lot would be destroyed."
John raised an eyebrow but nodded in agreement. "She didn't tell the Doctor much. I hope that after today she will open up a little more maybe heal more."
All of a sudden a young blonde stepped off the lift and rushed towards them. "Mum?" The young girl yelled.
Rose jumped up almost instantly and scrambled to her feet, glancing around the hub before laying a glare on the girl. Rose had woken Jack in her haste to get off the couch and he was staring at Rose in confusion.
"Whats wrong?" Rose asked as she stepped forward. Donna and John stared wide eyed at the blonde.
"Wait. Jenny?" John squeaked.
Donna rushed forward and wrapped Jenny in a tight hug. "How did you survive?"
"Nothing's wrong mum. I just hadn't seen you in a few days." Jenny said smiling a similar tongue and tooth smile at Rose over Donna's shoulder. "Aunt Donna. It is so good to see you again. I regenerated. Part Time lord, Part Badwolf. I don't change my looks." Jenny said still smiling.
"But... What?" John asked looking between Jenny and Rose as Jenny stepped back towards Rose. "Mum?" John asked sounding utterly lost.
"I was there. My DNA was placed in the machine before you appeared, she is biologically mine and the Doctors." Rose explained.
"Wait. Who's that?" Jenny asked pointing at the man that looked like her father.
"He is a clone. A two way meta crisis. I'll explain it all later but he isn't the Doctor just looks like em." Rose said. "Mickey!" Rose yelled suddenly before turning back to Jenny excitedly. "There's someone I want you to meet!" Rose was practically bouncing by the time Mickey rushed into the hub.
"What?" Mickey asked looking around.
"I want you to meet my daughter. Mickey meet Jenny. Jenny, meet your uncle Mickey." Rose said smiling so big it looked like her face was going to split open.
Mickey's jaw fell open and his eyes widen to the size of tennis balls. "Daughter? What?" he stuttered.
"She was created in a machine but biological she is mine and the Doctor's. You're going to love her. She is fantastic." Rose was talking so fast it was hard to understand her but Mickey heard enough.
"That. That is amazing." Mickey said flabbergasted. Jenny couldn't hold back anymore and rushed forward wrapping Mickey in a tight hug.
"It is so great to meet you. Mum has told me so much about your adventures." Jenny squealed and jumped up and down before tugging Mickey down the hallway towards the kitchen talking a mile a minute, her voice trailing off the further down the hallway they got.
Rose sank back into her seat, the little bit of energy she had gained faded quickly, leaving her exhausted but all of a sudden Jenny appeared and grabbed Donna and John pulling them towards the kitchen, saying how she wanted to get to know them all better and tell them all about her adventures.
"You alright Roise?" Jack asked with a yawn as he snuggled closer to Rose.
"You know. I think I am." Rose said smiling at Jack before she laid her head back and closing her eyes. It wasn't long before she fell asleep again with Jack right behind her. No nightmares anywhere to be found, Rose slept the day away.
