CROSSROADS
A/N: Set just before the end of "The Doctor's Daughter". Peck is alive.
Hath Peck gestured and bubbled wildly at Martha. Stay with me.
Martha, with surprise and an echo of pity etched on her face, glanced from Peck to the Doctor. Live a foreign life upon Messaline, or return home to her family, and to normality at last. She stood at the crossroads, torn.
For Peck, she felt enormous affection. To Earth and home, she was irrevocably tied. She couldn't have both.
Which road?
Martha ripped one cord from her startled heart, and let it cry. It would still beat; tears of blood were a small consequence.
She walked into the TARDIS.
