James hugged Jake "peace Jake, peace, Rickey would have wanted us to stop the Cybermen not tear each other apart"
"Speaking of which" Mrs Moore said "I've got a plan that me and Gemini over here cooked up. It should work but first we need to get to the Cybus factory"
They were sitting on a picnic table that was conveniently on a hill looking over the Cybus factory, whether it was used by the workers for lunch or it was a random act they didn't care. All that mattered was stopping Lumic.
"I got three sets of fake ear pieces" Mrs Moore said holding out the small silver devices in her hand "three of us can go in the main way"
"I'll be one of them" Pete said "I need to see if Jackie is still alive"
"From your plans though we'll need someone to get into the main computer" the Doctor said "we need the inhibitor code"
"The what code?" Rose asked
"The emotional inhibitor code" Alternative Rose said coolly "it's what suppressing the emotions we take it down and suddenly the Cybermen are no longer heartless metal men"
"Unfortunately it will go against their programming" James said "they'll automatically commit suicide"
"The main computer is in the zeppelin" Jake said "I'll go there"
"And I'll go underground" Mrs Moore said "now where shall we put you five? I reckon Rose and James go with Pete"
"Actually" James said "I think the other Rose should come and our Rose goes with you and the Doctor Mrs Moore"
"What?" Alternative Rose yelped "James he's my Dad, I should go with him not her"
"If Mickey went with Jake, the other Rose goes with me and Pete and the Doctor goes with you and Mrs Moore we'll have an alien expert on each team"
"Actually me and Rose aren't experts" Mickey said
"Great I get the idiot" Jake muttered darkly
"No arguments" Mrs Moore snapped "now I think Rose and James should swap clothes with the Doctor and Rose"
Everyone stared at her blankly as if to ask why?
Mrs Moore rolled her eyes "Lumic maybe watching the main entrance or have a human worker watching and if Rose Tyler turns up in a maid outfit it would look suspicious and if her boyfriend comes in the same time in jeans it will also look suspicious – now get to it"
"Yes Ma'am!" James and the Doctor chanted at the same time.
After twenty minutes of banging round the van trying to change clothes the Doctor was glaring at his jeans, James was tugging at his collar uncomfortably, Rose was twirling round admiring the dress while Alternative Rose smoothes out the wrinkles in the maid's dress.
"Right then, everyone ready" Mrs Moore asked
"Just goodbyes left" Jake said he nodded to her then James and Alternative Rose "see you all in hell"
Mickey hugged Rose and shook hands with the Doctor before following Jake. James pulled Alternative Rose into a long tender kiss not noticing the jealous looks both Rose and the Doctor were shooting them. The Doctor pulled Rose into a bear hug. Alternative Rose pulled away from James and hugged her father before he, Rose and James left.
The Doctor was anxious; Rose was up there with no one but two strangers who just happen to look like him and her father facing the Cybermen while he was hiding under the ground watching the empty Cybermen carefully. Alternative Rose held his hand firmly as if she knew exactly what he was thinking.
"You know my real name isn't Mrs Moore" Mrs Moore said suddenly "it's a name I've been using to hide…I used to work for Lumic, one day I found out exactly what he was doing"
"What happened?" Alternative Rose asked
"They came in the middle of the night…they would have killed my husband and son if we didn't escape. I left them up north and came to join the Preachers. Son of the bitch took my life away…if I came across nasty to you Rose…it was because of that, because you could always have gone home and be safe and I couldn't"
"You don't need to apologise" Alternative Rose said softly "what was your real name?"
"Price"
They spent the rest of the journey in silence, before they got ambushed by a Cyberman, they manage to disable it but as it died in their arms they heard the confessions of Sally Phalen and it depressed them. Suddenly even more Cybermen came and they killed Mrs Moore, taking the Doctor and Alternative Rose captive when they got thrown in the control room they found Pete, Rose and James.
"Oh fat good of help you were" the Doctor snapped ignoring the glare Rose shot him.
Alternative Rose flung her arms round James and sobbed, everyone was silent and tense as they remembered Mrs Moore.
Lumic boasted and goaded them, when Rose's phone went off the Doctor ranted about emotions before sticking the phone in the control panel killing them all…and setting the building on fire.
The five of them ran as fast as they could to get onto the roof and when the climbed on to the ladder of the zeppelin they all sighed in relief.
"Does he always do that?" Alternative Rose shouted to Rose "set things on fire"
"Nah he prefers to blow things up" Rose shouted
"Men" Alternative Rose said rolling her eyes
"Tell me about it" Rose said shaking her head as they watched James and the Doctor high five each other.
