What Ever Happened to Susan? Part 3
A/N: GETS SPOILERISH NEAR END WITH THE DOCTOR'S DALEK RANT! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!! And if you've never seen the 9th Doctor go to and click on pictures there's a section called characters, scroll down until you see "The Ninth Doctor." Finally, I love writing this story and my checklist is almost finished, but I think I have at least 2 more chapters in me.
DISCLAIMER: Still working on that whole "owning Doctor Who" thing, but don't hold your breath. I'm holding mine.
Previously on What Ever Happened to Susan:
"G-Grandfather?"
"Susan?" The Doctor asked in awe as well.
"You've changed Grandfather… well I have too, but I mean you're so young! Well maybe not young, bit young looking…" rambled Susan, unable to hide her excitement after the initial shock wore off, "I missed you Grandfather. I really missed you," Susan ended and hugged him hard.
The Doctor hugged back, eyes shut, tears streaming down his face. "I thought you died," he finally said, "I couldn't feel anyone in here," he said tapping at his head, "so I thought you had died."
"I can't feel anyone either, but I haven't been able to feel anyone for a long time," Susan said, still all smiles leading them all back to her home, the Doctor's hand in hers.
"Why?" asked a jealous Rose in a questioning tone, with just a hint of maliciousness.
"When Grandfather left me here two centuries ago I immersed myself in Earth culture, as primitive as it was," Susan started, taking a slight dig at Rose, sensing her maliciousness, " Me and David traveled the world, finally landing in India to try to help the people," Susan said looking, not at Rose, but the Doctor who was all smiles and bright eyes.
"You traveled?" he asked, in an excited and approving tone, while Rose made a gagging motion to Jack behind the Doctor's back. Jack gave her a stern look that said 'Don't be mean, girl. She's important to both of us, me, and the Doctor'.
"Yeah, 'till the little one came, just a century after you left," said Susan in a sad tone, "He was born a day after David had died."
"Oh, I'm so sorry Susan," the Doctor said, "I'm so, so sorry," emotion pouring out his voice and stopping to engulf her in another hug, leaving Rose to glare at both of them.
"It's okay Grandfather, I've got Elijah and I took up gymnastics after David died, so no more twisted ankles for me," joked Susan, making the Doctor laugh out loud, "Also I tool about every so often, put up shelves and such," finished Susan with a smile.
"You've got a sonic screwdriver then too, hmm?" Jack said, finally speaking up.
"Yep, nicked it from Grandfather just before I left the TARDIS for the last time," Susan said with a smirk 'She's been smiling a lot since she saw MY Doctor' Rose thought, the green monster rearing its ugly head, "I'll show it to you when we get inside… oh damn, I forgot my key. ELIJAH OPEN THE FREAKIN' DOOR I FORGOT MY KEY!" yelled Susan, oblivious to the fact that the Doctor had a stunned look on his face.
"You swore!" the Doctor said incredulously.
"When you spend 2 centuries on Earth you pick up some terms," stated Susan in a matter-of-fact tone. Just then, Elijah came to the door and whipped it open. There standing in the doorway was what looked like a younger version of the ninth Doctor, down to the leather jacket.
"NO!" yelled a man now dressed in black robes with a dark blue cowl, "I cannot believe that you let the get away!" he now yelled at llama-man. "Thank Rassilon I found another 'willing' human to be contorted. Now go my minion, take the one called 'Elijah' away, he would be a perfect addition to my collection…" he laughed as he looked into the hallway that held the cryogenic pods. In each one there was a human horribly mutated like the llama-man. The crony the man was currently talking to was a 6 and ½ foot tall woman fused with an emu. She had what looked like a grayish-brown feather dress that reached down to her legs, but in actuality that was part of her body. She also had a beak that looked a horrible greenish-grey that had mucus oozing out of it, due to the primitive and dirty procedure the man had performed. The only other variation was that instead of a laser attached to her other hand she had a large, futuristic looking mace (A/N: If ya don't know what that is its a metal spiky ball on a chain, connected to a stick) and instead of a hoof accompanying the mace there was a human hand with a wingish looking thing on top of it. Finally, the woman had a manic and twitchy look in her red and black eyes as she went out to capture the 'wise beyond his years' boy.
"Doctor, it looks like you!" exclaimed Rose, worried that it was in fact his child, rather than his Great-Grandchild.
"Really?" questioned the boy, intrigued, "You're the Doctor? You're mister 'I-think-I'm-right-in-leaving-the-only-tie-I-have-left-to-Gallifrey-in-an-unknown-place-to-clean-up-my-mess'?" Elijah now said, anger and venom in his voice, "And who does that anyway? I mean, you were exiled from Gallifrey and allowed to only take one person of your family, so you picked your sweet and adventurous granddaughter, only to dump her on Earth," rambled Elijah, saying Earth with a bitterness and loathing, like it was the last place he wanted to be. The Doctor just stared in dumbfoundedness at this boy's ability to give an entire lecture in one breath. Jack and Rose stared at both the Doctor and Elijah trying to wrap their minds around this new facet reveled to them.
"So wait," said Jack, "You mean that you went back to fight a war for people who shunned your ideas?"
"What war?" asked Susan, oblivious to the pain in her grandfather's eyes.
"The Time War," stated the Doctor, "the last great fight between the Daleks and our people."
"What happened?" asked Elijah, now softening to the Doctor and willing to listen.
"The Time Lords died. I set the planet and ships to flame thinking that would stop the Daleks, and for the longest time it did. But they came back. The Daleks keep finding ways to worm their way into existence and piss me off," the Doctor said in a dark, brooding tone, the venom in his voice enough to poison a python.
"What's this?" said Jack pointing to the ancient sonic screwdriver on the mantle, effectively lightening the mood, and changing the subject.
"That, Jack, is my sonic screwdriver," stated Susan in a proud voice.
"It looks ancient!" shouted Rose, "Kinda like you," she muttered under her breath.
"Well, Rose I am old, but that's because I'm just like the Doctor, we live on, long after our human friends die," stated Susan in a hard, sad tone. Rose was about to get into a full blown argument with Susan when they both heard Jack exclaim, "No!" in a disbelieving tone.
"What?" Susan asked, happy for the distraction.
"Doc's saying that man in this picture is him when he was younger!" Jack said, pointing to a crotchety old man in suspenders.
"Yup, that was the Doctor in his first body," said Susan reveling in the look of disbelief on Rose's face. Just then the door was beaten open, wood splintering everywhere to reveal emu-lady standing in the doorway, looking at Elijah. Both Jack and Susan rolled their eyes and looked at each other for a split second, then they both yelled "Run!" in synchronization Susan grabbing the Doctor's and Elijah's hands, leaving Jack to grab the hand of Rose and start running through the house. When they reached the back door, Elijah whipped it open to reveal another monster, this one male and fused with a turkey. Just then, the emu-lady caught up with them and both of the mutations hauled our heroes off. To their Master.
Dunn, Dunn, DUNNNNN! So, tell me what you think! Push that button, leave a review and I might feel so loved that I'll have to update sooner, b/c now I'm just pulling crap out of my head.
