Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who.

A/N: Sorry! It's been a full day since I last updated. I'm sorry about that. I'll try to have another out tonight.

Enjoy!


"Pleasure to meet you." Jack Harkness gave a slight bow with a cocky grin plastered on his face.

"This is Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart and I'm the Doctor." Jack's head whipped up to him. His face lost all playfulness.

"What did you say?" He looked at him with dangerous eyes.

"I'm the Doctor." The Doctor was looking at him skeptically.

"I know the Doctor and you are most definitely not him so I'm going to ask you just once, what did you do to him?" Jack put his hand on his belt where he kept his sonic blaster.

"I didn't do anything to him, I am him." The Doctor looked at him sternly. In an instant Jack had the Doctor pinned to the nearest wall with his sonic blaster to his head.

"Where is he?" Jack said through gritted teeth. The Brigadier had a group of men all aiming there guns at Jack. The Doctor held up his hand to tell the Brigadier to back off.

"I am him. Clearly you know a future version of me." The Doctor sighed and then added, "Rose did mention a Jack." Jack's eyes widen for a minute before he dropped the Doctor.

"Rosie?" Jack looked at him in disbelief. The Doctor nodded. "Where is she?"

"That's who we are looking for. Somebody separated us." Jack's face hardened.

"I'm helping, I don't care who tries to stop me." With that Jack turned and walked into the darkness once again. The Brigadier looked to the Doctor. He nodded slowly and the rest of them followed.


Sweat and tears were the first thing Rose recognized. She felt a distant burning in the back of her mind.

"She couldn't save you." The man laughed.

"Who couldn't save me?" Rose's voice was raspy from screaming.

"The big bad wolf." He said with a menacing smile. Rose shivered at hearing the words. "I suppressed her. You were killing yourself for a long time before you realized it." Rose looked at him in confusion. She decided it would be best to keep silent. "No comments for me? To think I thought we were starting to get along." He took another step toward where Rose's body lay. He picked her up by her arms. She let silent tears fall. "This is much less fun now that you don't talk and don't scream. Maybe I should try a new technique." He looked as though he was physically contemplating what to do. He dropped Rose back down onto the cold ground in a heap and walked off. Rose let out a few deep breaths. He returned shortly with a knife in hand. "I've always found blood my favorite. I can see the damage I do." He gave Rose one of his sinister smiles and dropped down next to her. He put the end of the blade against her left ring finger. "Start from the top, shall we." He pushed the blade just enough to draw blood. He added pressure as he went down further ending at the bottom of her palm. Rose was breathing heavily. He picked the blade up and brought it to her foot. "Connect the dots." He winked at Rose and pushed the blade deep into her heel. She shuddered and held her breath refusing to scream. He pulled the knife out and punctured it into the outside of her right leg. He continued cutting down to her ankle. Rose was biting down on her lip so hard she started bleeding there too. He was about to cut her again when a bright light flashed. With Rose's vision going fuzzy and the noise of the blood rushing through her head she couldn't make out much. A woman dressed in a long white gown dropped next to her. She stroked Rose's hair.

"Scream. It's okay to let it out." It was the voice that warned her. She nodded knowing that Rose realized who she was. Rose looked at her strangely. Why did she want her to scream? She put a finger to Rose's temple. Rose let out a loud scream. "I'm sorry. I had to do it." She looked at Rose with absolute guilt. Rose laid in a pool of her own blood thinking she was dying.


A scream echoed through the corridor.

"Rose." Jack whispered. He went into a dead sprint following the voice. It only took a few minutes for him to navigate through the darkness. Upon seeing Rose lying in her own blood he sped up. "I'm here Rose." He held her hand in his and cradled it.

"J-Jack?" Rose looked up at him through the little part of her eyes that were still opened.

"I'm here Rosie." The Doctor, the Brigadier, and the soldiers were standing behind Jack and Rose. Rose smiled.

"I'm sorry Jack..." Rose's other hand moved to Jack's cheek. It pained her to move it but she kept it there. "I should've listened to you." She let guilt cross her features. "If- if I did, you'd still be a-a-alive." Rose began to cry. Jack was confused but her kept her close. He picked up her now unconscious figure and held her tight against his chest.

"We have to get her out of here." Jack said quietly. The Doctor nodded and turned to the Brigadier.

"I can call a team up here but for now I'd just get her to the nearest hospital." Jack nodded and sprinted down the corridor. The Brigadier turned to face the Doctor. He put a hand on his shoulder. "She'll be okay." The Doctor nodded. The Brigadier and his men started to clear out. The Doctor was going to leave until he stopped dead in his tracks. Drenched in blood was a black skullcap with a message. The Doctor picked up the cap and stuffed the message in his pocket. Quickly he left the area to go help Rose.


Rose let out a large sigh followed by a yawn. She tried to pull her hands to her face to rub her eyes but a sharp pain told her not to. She started to sit up only to be pushed back by a hand on her chest. She slowly opened her eyes. It took a minute to adjust but in front of her she saw a man who she never thought she would see again, Jack Harkness. She dropped her head back on her pillow and let out a large groan.

"What's that Rosie? Good to see you too." He gave her a cheeky grin.

"Either I died or I'm hallucinating." Rose opened her eyes again and peered at him. "It's a pretty detailed hallucination." Jack smirked.

"I'm here Rosie. The one and only." He winked at her.

"How?" Rose looked at him, truly questioning how he was here. Jack shrugged.

"I was hoping you or the Doctor could help with that." Rose looked at him sympathetically.

"Oh, Jack it really is you." She jumped up as best she could and gave him a one armed hug. He returned it eagerly.

"Don't ever scare me like that." He whispered as he stroked her hair. The Doctor cleared his throat.

"Hello Doctor." Rose smiled. The Doctor eyed Jack for a minute.

"Wow, still doing the whole 'hands off the blonde' thing." Jack gave a sheepish smile. The Doctor chose to ignore him.

"Did you see who had you?" He asked Rose. Rose nodded.

"He was wearing a black suit with slicked down black hair. His eyes were dark as night." The Doctor frowned.

"I promise you we'll find him." He put one of his hands on Rose's.

"No, Doctor. Leave him." The Doctor was taken aback.

"W-what?" He looked at her in shock.

"He was so full of hatred. He had nothing to live for. It was awful. Nobody deserves that." Jack looked at Rose with admiration. She really was too kind. The Doctor stared at her with a new level of fascination.

"I can see why I chose to take you." He gave her a small smile. Rose coughed. Her throat was so dry. Jack quickly jumped up and handed her a glass of water which she downed in three gulps.

"How long have I been here?" Jack took her glass to refill it.

"Two weeks." Rose's eyes widened.

"Looks like the vortex manipulator is fully charged." She let out a small chuckle. The Doctor smiled in reply. "You know, I don't really feel all that injured."

"Jack used nanogenes to fix you up. For some reason they couldn't finish healing you so your arms and legs are probably sore but the rest should be fine." Jack returned with the glass of water. Rose took it from his hands with a smile.

"Thank you, Jack." He smiled back.

"Anything for you Rosie." His smile widened. "And I mean anything." He winked at her. She laughed. He was just how she remembered.

"We can probably get you out now." The Doctor said. Rose nodded. She was ready to begin her search for her Doctor.


Rose walked to UNIT with an extra bounce in her step. Jack was staying in Rose's flat with her. UNIT agreed to allow Jack to help Rose. Rose was going today to prepare for her journey. She and Jack were going to use her vortex manipulator to look for her Doctor. The only problem was the damage to it. When Rose was captured he messed with her device. The Doctor was trying to fix it but he didn't have the parts. Since they aren't supposed to exist until the 51st century and the TARDIS can't move, Rose has a time limit. She and Jack have five hours. They have to find and talk to her Doctor in five hours. After five hours it recalls back to the last location it transported to which happens to be the UNIT lawn.

"Hey Doc." Jack said.

"Don't call me that." He responded with a scowl.

"Well apparently you don't change that much." Jack winked at Rose.

"Are you guys prepared for the jump?" He asked.

"Yes, it's not like we need much. We'll only be there for five hours." Rose said.

"Yeah, easy enough. Find you within an hour and spend the next four naked in bed." Jack stuck out his tongue and winked at Rose. The Doctor glared at Jack. "Fine, fine. We'll only spend three hours in bed." The Doctor frowned. Rose laughed and rolled her eyes.

"We can start it up as soon as you like." The Doctor turned when the door opened. Liz walked in with a smile. Jack strutted in front of Rose to greet her.

"Hello, I'm Jack Harkness." He picked up her hand and kissed it. "A pleasure to meet you." Liz let out a soft giggle.

"A charmer." She said before walking to Rose. "Good luck!" She hugged Rose.

"Thank you!" Rose smiled. She found Liz to be really helpful and supportive.

"Let's begin." The Doctor clapped his hands together. Rose walked over to Jack. She put her hands around his neck and he put his around Rose's waist.

"Always looking for an excuse." He winked. Rose gave him a tongue touched smile before turning on the vortex manipulator and activating it. For a minute Rose felt disoriented. The only thing keeping her up right was Jack. He had a firm hold on her waist. She breathed in deep before dropping her head against his shoulder.

"You're fine." He said. "Time travel without a capsule tends to do that." Rose smiled. "How does this work anyways?" He asked.

"The Doctor locked the coordinates onto the TARDIS. It should bring us to where the TARDIS was last." Jack nodded in thought. He was going to speak when he was cut off by somebody running straight into him. He was wearing a cream colored cricket outfit with a matching hat. He looked at Rose and Jack in confusion before smiling.

"Hello." He said. "I'm the Doctor!" Jack and Rose looked at each other with similar expressions.


The Doctor let out a long sigh.

"They'll be fine." Liz said. She gave a small smile.

"I'm sure they will be." The Doctor replied. Liz squeezed his shoulder before walking out of the room. The Doctor sat in silence with his thoughts for a moment before pulling out the note left by the skullcap.

The full moon is coming soon. Watch out for the big Bad Wolf.


A/N: Tell me what you thought! No, the Doctor does not remember Rose because he is going to lock the memory away until she finds the current Doctor. I was thinking about making the current Doctor Eleven since I already showed a scene with Eleven that Rose isn't in. I would skip right to Twelve but Eleven is where the story starts to get away from the story line the most. That being said, who do you want to be the current Doctor? I might have another chapter up tonight but I'm working on my other story too and I want to have two chapters out for While You Were Gone. Hopefully I will have another out. Until then, thanks for reading!
