A/N: You guys have been great, I appreciate all the review makes me want to continue on with the story.

The Master did not return that day, much to Rose's delight. The Doctor needed more time to heal and she really wasn't ready to be next on the Master's hit list. The Doctor had fallen asleep hold her hand at some point and Rose just sat there, happy to be a source of comfort.

This had come by earlier with dinner and the Doctor had asked her to come over to the bed where he quickly whispered something in her ear and she nodded then left with a quick sad glance at Rose. All the Doctor had told Rose was that he was putting a plan in motion. Rose had helped him eat a little bit before he had fallen asleep again.

Rose gently released her hand after a while and started to pace the room. She was fed up with being stuck in this tiny room; she wanted a shower and wanted to have a real meal. She had lost count of how long they had been here, how were Jack and Martha? What was Martha doing? Questions swirled in her head. She trusted her Doctor but she wished she knew more about the plan to get out of here and if it was in progress or just a hope the Doctor had.

Eventually Rose sat on the chair and watched the Doctor sleep. It was odd to see him actually sleep, he rarely did, usually it was just for an hour or two and then he was ready to go off again or go work on the TARDIS. She hoped all this sleep was helping him heal faster. At some point Rose nodded off herself, when she woke up she had a very stiff neck, she looked around and saw the Doctor still sleeping. Rose assumed it was morning, but she had no sense of time except when Tish brought food.

Rose stiffly got out of the chair and stretched her neck and back. 'I miss my bed on the TARDIS,' Rose thought. She went over to check on the Doctor, he still seemed pretty out of it, she ran her hand down the back of his hand. She really wished he would wake up; it was starting to make her nervous.

The door opened, Rose didn't turn fast, she just assumed it was Tish with breakfast, but when she did look around she saw the Master standing in the door way. Her breath hitched a bit. 'No, not yet' she thought.

"Well good morning Rose, yes, it is morning. He is still asleep then? Must not be healed yet." The Master glanced at the Doctor sleeping on the bed and gave a half-smile. "While we wait for him to wake up, how about you accompany me on a walk this morning? I would love to show you what is going on outside your little room."

Rose was taken aback by this. A walk? This had to be a trick. "No thanks, I would like to stay here with the Doctor." Rose responded quietly still not leaving the Doctor's side.

The Master rose his eyebrows at her. "I am asking nicely Rose, don't make me force you."

Rose did want out of the room, but this felt so wrong and how did she know he wasn't going to hurt her, but if she didn't go he would drag her out anyway, might as well be on her own accord. "Fine." Rose huffed then walked towards the Master.

"Good girl," he responded. He opened the door and let her go in front of him. There were two guards waiting. 'Knew it couldn't be that simple' Rose thought.

The Master shut the door and locked it as he came into the hall next to Rose. "All right Rose, let me show you around the Valiant and let me show you how the Earth is doing." He put out his arm like he wanted her to grab it, she just stood there defiantly. It was one thing to go with him but another to hold onto him.

The Master shrugged it off and said, "Follow me." Rose did as the two guards followed her. The Master pointed out different areas on the ship, Rose feigned interest, hoping to keep his anger at bay. They got to the bridge, where this started, he led her to the window, Rose looked down at the Earth and gasped. They were over London, but London was basically destroyed. The Master then led her to a screen where he flipped through images of the world being destroyed by his Toclofane. Rose shook her head. "Why?" She asked him suddenly. "Why destroy the world?"

The Master turned to face her, "Because your structures won't work for a new Time Lord race, the humans I did not kill are slaves to build these monuments to me and build new buildings. I am fixing what the Doctor didn't save. He should have not let the planet burn. So now I am going to fix it by creating a new place for the Time Lords and I will be a better emperor then the one we had during the Time War." Rose just nodded, she didn't want to respond and make him mad. 'This is madness,' She thought.

Meanwhile, the Doctor had finally woken up. His body was stiff and sore but he didn't feel nearly as much pain. He was able to sit up. He looked around the room and didn't see Rose. "Rose?" He called out. In a tiny room, surely she would hear him. But he heard nothing. 'Where is she? Where could she have gone? Does the Master have her?' The Doctor's thoughts overlapped. Would he hurt her now? He said he wanted him to see. The Doctor was frustrated, and then he glanced around the room more and saw that breakfast had been brought in.

'Time to see if my plan was put into place,' he thought as he walked over to the table, it was hard on him to do so but he needed to check. He flipped the lid carefully over, avoiding the camera and saw it, he was thrilled. His screwdriver was taped to the inside of the lid, he wasn't sure how they got it but now he had a way out, a way to get to Rose and possibly a way to save them all.

The Doctor walked over to the door, hiding his screwdriver by his side. He acted like he was banging on it, he called out for Rose. Hoping if anyone was watching it would distract them for a moment. He then used his screwdriver to unlock the door. He slowly opened the door; luckily, there were no guard's right there at the moment. He snuck out and started to sneak through to find Rose, Jack, and the Master.
