Chapter 36: A Changed Wanda

"Save Rose! Save Rose!"

Wanda continued to cry these words. She kept her eyes closed tightly, refusing to believe she had left her friend there to die. Refusing to believe that the Doctor had not saved Rose. Wanda only hoped she were still there. There to convince the Doctor to save Rose. Wanda felt horrible that she could not do it herself. But the images kept flashing through. Images that it must be the Doctor to be the one to do it. She knew these were not the possibilities. They were images coming from Bad Wolf. Or possibly the TARDIS. Or even from both. They would have never let Wanda be the one to take the Time Vortex out of Rose. Nine's regeneration was a much as a fixed point in time as Rose becoming Bad Wolf.

"Wanda?! Wanda, calm down. It's all right. You're safe."

No, no one's safe. Did they not understand? No one was safe as long as Wanda was so willing to just let her friend die like that. Did they not see? She truly was a killer if she had let Rose die. And Wanda was going to kill again if someone did not put a stop to her. She would only kill again. Who would be next? Clara? Amy? Rory? River? Donna? Martha? The Doctor?

"Wanda!"

SLAP!

Wanda's head whipped to the side, ceasing her screams. She stared around in a daze as the room around her came into view. It seemed to be an underground bunk of sorts. Large medical machines scattered around, and an assortment of weapons scattered around here and there. She also saw strange humanoids. Their heads were that of fish with a green liquid tube attached to their mouths. All wore black, military uniforms. They stared at Wanda cautiously as she gazed around.

She snapped her head back to see Martha standing before her. She had been the one to call out to Wanda and slap her. Martha stared at her with worry, looking anxious by Wanda's behavior.

"Sorry about the slap. But it was the only thing I could think of," said Martha. Wanda blinked at the girl, and then jerked away from her.

"Stay away from me! I'll only kill you, too!" Wanda shouted in fright. She backed up quickly, going into a corner. She slid down; hiding her face within her pulled up her knees and covered her head with her hands. She cried as she thought about Rose. She had really changed time in the end. She had killed off Rose forever. Oh, poor Jackie and Mickey. They would be heartbroken. Poor Doctor. Because of her, he lost the girl he was meant to love.

Martha stared in shock to her friend. She had never seen Young Wanda in such a state before. Maybe older Wandas, but never this one. The Hath around her began pointing their weapons at the crying girl.

"No! Wait!" Martha called out quickly, stopping their actions by hold up her hands and standing in front of them. "She's my friend. She doesn't mean you harm. She's just . . . a little upset over something. I'll talk to her." The Hath lowered their weapons, nodding for her to do so. Martha quickly walked over and crouched by Wanda's side. "Wanda? What happened?"

"I killed her," Wanda cried.

"Killed who?"

Wanda lifted her head, tears streaming down her face. "Rose. I killed Rose. I'd let her die."

Martha blinked in confusion. "Rose's dead? Since when?"

Wanda rubbed at her tears, trying to get herself back into her right mind. She stared up at Martha, suddenly hopeful for Rose's fate. "Do you know what happened to Rose?"

"Last time I heard, she was lost to another universe."

"Oh, thank god!" Wanda cried in relief, hugging Martha tightly. "I mean, not thank god that's she's lost, just . . . thank god she's all right. Oh, thank god." Wanda began to cry some more, holding Martha as she shook.

Martha patted the girl's back gently, still feeling anxious about her friend's mental state. "Are you all right, Wanda? What happened to make you so upset?"

Wanda sighed, letting herself relax. "It's nothing. Nothing. I just . . . had a run in with Bad Wolf."

"What's Bad Wolf?"

Wanda only shook her head in response, letting go of Martha to stand up to really take in where exactly she was. Wanda saw the Hath standing around, seeming wary of her presence. She knew she would be too if some random girl suddenly appeared, screaming her head off. She felt slightly embarrassed for acting in such a way. But still . . . the idea of her letting Rose take in the Time Vortex still haunted her. She had willingly let her friend's life be in jeopardy and for what? Because Bad Wolf and the TARDIS told her to?

Wanda sighed heavily, letting her mind settle some so she could think straight. Bad Wolf had been right; it had been muddled towards the end there. Everything had been bombarding her all at once. Her overextended emotions, memories, and the massive amount of possibilities running through her head. She was surprised she had even managed to think straight with everything jumbled and spinning into a mess within her mind. It also did not help matters that she had exceed her limit of delving into the possibilities for this day. She had always only been able to go into at least three times a day. Depending how long she stayed within them, sometimes she could manage four. She had never tried any more than that. It had always hurt too much to try any farther. Just as it hurt now.

Her whole body ached in severe pain and her mind would not stop throbbing. She felt ready to pass out at any second. But, she would press on. She had to be here for Martha. Wanda had failed to be there for one friend already. She was not about to fail another.

"So, where are we?" Wanda asked Martha. She knew that she should know this. But her mind did not seem to want to function correctly at the moment.

"I think we're in some kind of military war camp. Or something like that," Martha explained. "The Doctor accidently brought us here. Ran into some kind of fight between a group of humans and these guys. I think they're called the Hath."

"Right," Wanda muttered quietly, slowly putting the pieces together. Her mind started producing the correct memories.

She was in the colony of the humans and the Hath. Where each side was fighting a war over a power struggle for the Source. The Doctor and Donna were separated with the humans, while she and Martha were with the Hath. This meant this was the episode of which Jenny, the cloned daughter of the Doctor, had been created. Wanda felt slightly excited for this. She had always wanted to meet Jenny. The young girl had been amazing on the show. One of Wanda's favorite characters. Though . . . she felt as if she had only seen Jenny briefly. But, she could not remember why. Maybe Jenny had not been a recurring character? It was hard for Wanda to tell, her mind was not giving her all the information she needed.

"Okay, then I know where we are," said Wanda. She walked over to the Hath, giving them a kind smile. "I'm sorry for disturbing you all. I didn't mean to frighten you by my sudden appearance. I hope all is forgiven." The Hath's breathing tubes bubbled some as they nodded their heads. They seem to think since she was a friend of Martha's, then she could be trustworthy.

Martha walked over with Wanda as the Hath brought them over to a holographic map. They could see the layout of the colony and its connecting tunnels. Each of the main location of the colonies could be seen located on the map. The base for the Hath, and base for the humans. One of the Hath, seeming to be a commander of sorts, began walking around them as he gurgled away. Apparently, he was explaining to them exactly what the map meant and what their story was in the war. Martha nodded some absently, pretending to listen and understand what the Hath was saying.

"Right," she said slowly, glancing around in confusion as the Hath got done explaining. "So, we're here?" She pointed to the location on the map. The Hath kind of glanced around to each other. Martha stared around curiously to their reaction.

"Actually, I think we're here," Wanda corrected the woman, pointing to another spot. The Hath nodded, indicating that she had gotten it. Wanda smiled some at them, pulling out her sonic screwdriver as she stared at the map. She remembered this part. "But you guys actually don't have the full map. If I may?"

She held up the sonic for permission. They nodded, giving her the go ahead. She pointed the screwdriver to the base of the hologram, making the machine whirl. The hologram changed to show a much larger map with a vast collection of complex tunnels systems scattered around the colonies. The Hath gurgled in excitement upon seeing the new map. They suddenly began to raise their weapons in the air, seeming to cheer. Martha stared around in shock as Wanda continued to stare at the map with a smile, feeling somewhat pleased in beating the Doctor to uncovering the suppressed information within the hologram. She wished she could have seen the look on his face. Then, her smiled dropped slowly as she continued to stare at the map.

That is, of course, if he still wanted to see her. She very much doubted he would still want her around after what she had allowed to happen. Yes, Rose survived in the end. But would the Doctor ever forgive her for putting Rose through such a thing? Wanda doubted it. She could hardly forgive herself.

"I think you just started a war, Wanda," said Martha.

"No, I am merely ending it," Wanda replied. She closed her eyes, trying to remain focused as her head throbbed even worse. Boy was she tired. She could hardly even keep her eyes open.

"Wanda," Martha said to her quickly. Wanda snapped her eyes open again to see she had fallen against Martha. Wanda quickly moved away, blushing in embarrassment to her lack of control.

"Sorry. I'm just kind of out of it at the moment," Wanda hurriedly explained, feeling herself become very dizzy. "I'm fine. Really, I'm fine."

"No, you're not," Martha said sternly. She steered the Time Lady over to a nearby cot, forcing her to sit down. "Lie down here and get some rest."

"But . . .," Wanda tried to protest.

Martha waved a finger strictly. "No 'buts' about it. Doctor's orders."

Wanda snorted lightly, smiling in affection to the doctor. "Fine. You're the doctor." Martha smiled, patting Wanda's shoulder as the Time Lady laid down. She watched as Martha walked back over to the Hath. Wanda slowly closed her eyes, letting her mind begin to relax enough to think.

Now, she could finally think.

Everything had happened so fast back where she had come from. Everything rushed so quickly towards the end. The revelation of Bad Wolf being a completely conscious entity. The realization that Rose becoming Bad Wolf played a huge key to Gallifrey. That becoming Bad Wolf was a fixed point in time for Rose. Though, that last part Wanda believed to have been a lie. She did not feel it to be a fixed point in time. If it truly had been, then she would have seen no changes for it as she had with Pompeii. Bad Wolf and the TARDIS must have passed it off as a fixed time so Wanda would go along with their plans. And she had fallen for it.

The idea of Bad Wolf being a completely separate and conscious entity boggled her mind. How was it even possible? Why was it possible? And what exactly did Bad Wolf mean by everything she had said? All only confused Wanda more. She even half wondered if none of it had actually happened and it had been nothing more than a dream. But her tired body spoke otherwise.

Then, there was the mystery to Gallifrey. Wanda did not know how or why Rose, or rather Bad Wolf, played such a major role to the Doctor's home planet. Wanda never saw the full image, most of which was fuzzy to her. The only thing she knew was she saw Bad Wolf there, smiling away on top of the Moment. And somehow, this ensured the safety of Gallifrey. It only frustrated Wanda in not knowing, but she knew the answers would come to her eventually. They always did in the end. She only hoped, with all her hearts, that everything will turn out fine in the end. For everyone.

Wanda let out a sigh of breath, allowing her mind to drift off into nothing. Letting her body finally fall into the rest it desperately needed.

Martha glanced over to see Wanda fast asleep. The Time Lady really had been exhausted. She wondered what the girl could have possibly been through to have put her in such a state. Martha jumped slightly when her mobile began to ring. Quickly grabbing it from her pocket, she held it up to her ear.

"Doctor?" she spoke into the mobile.

"Martha! You're alive!" she heard the Doctor cry happily on the other end.

"Doctor! Oh, am I glad to hear your voice," Martha replied back just as cheerfully. "Are you all right?"

"I'm with Donna. We're fine," responded the Doctor. "What about you?"

"And Jenny. She's fine, too," Martha could hear the muffled voice of Donna.

"Yes. Right. And . . . and Jenny. That's the . . . the woman from the machine, the soldier . . . my daughter, expect she isn't. She's . . . she's . . . Anyway, where are you?"

Martha could hear how nervous and conflicted the Doctor sounded to the idea of being a father and suddenly having a daughter. She would not blame him for that. She probably would be too if she suddenly learned she had a child arriving on the way. Or, well, in Jenny's case, already arrived.

"I'm in the Hath camp. I'm okay," Martha responded. She glanced worriedly over to the sleeping form of Wanda. "But I don't think Wanda is."

"Hang on, Wanda? She's there with you?" asked the Doctor.

"Wanda? What's she doing there?" Martha heard Donna ask over the line.

"Wanda? Is that the woman you were talking about, Donna?" she heard another voice ask in excitement. She figured that was Jenny. "Is that my mum?"

"She is no mother to you," the Doctor said harshly. Martha heard a slap and the Doctor shouting 'ow!'

"Oh, shut up, Spaceman," Donna scolded him. Martha heard the Doctor grumble some before speaking again.

"What's wrong with Wanda?" the Doctor asked.

"She appeared as she usually does. But when she arrived . . . she wouldn't stop screaming," Martha said nervously. She heard a sharp intake of breath from the Doctor.

"Which Wanda is it, Martha?" he asked hurriedly, sounding anxious.

"First."

"Was she saying 'I remember'?"

"No. She just kept screaming 'save Rose', then later said something about . . . 'Bad Wolf.'" She heard a heavy sigh come from him. Though, it almost sounded like a sigh of relief as well. She, herself, felt relieved, too. She knew what the Doctor was thinking of what might have been wrong with Wanda. She knew what remembering meant for the Time Lady.

"I know what's wrong. Can you put her on?" the Doctor asked, still sounding greatly concerned about his Wanderer.

Martha glanced over to Wanda, seeing how the girl breathed in and out evenly, looking peaceful in her sleep. "No. I had to put her to rest. She was about ready to pass out when she arrived."

"Hmm. I'll just have to talk with her after this is all over. Anyway, what's going on your end? What are the Hath doing?"

Martha gazed around, watching how the Hath gathered up guns and were marching out into the rest of the compound, ready to storm through the tunnels to their destination. "The Hath are all marching off to some place that Wanda made appear on this map thing."

"Oh? That was her, was it?" The Doctor sounded impressed. "Ha! She beat me to it. Anyway, the same is going on our end. If both armies are heading that way, there's going to be a bloodbath."

"What do you want us to do?"

"Just stay where you are. If you're safe there, don't move. Especially if Wanda is in a bad state. Do you hear?" The Doctor sounded stern, ready to be strict in his decision if need be.

Martha opened her mouth to argue when the line went dead. She looked at her mobile to see the battery had died. She huffed in annoyance. She quickly went over to the one Hath she had helped relocate his shoulder earlier. Peck, is what she believed his name was. She asked him if he could charge her mobile up again. She needed to talk with the Doctor again and figure out what exactly Wanda and she could do to help. Peck continued to work on the map, showing her how there was even more to the map than originally thought. The whole map laid out in three-dimensions. Closely examining the map, she saw how the best option she had was to go up on the surface and reach the location first before the armies did. She explained this plan to Peck, only to be shown how there was radiation on the surface. Though, as long as she was not out there too long she would be fine.

"So, is that our plan of action?"

Martha turned to see Wanda standing behind them. She looked slightly less ready to faint, but still appeared very exhausted.

"That's my plan. You'll be staying here where it's safe. Doctor's orders," Martha told her firmly.

"That your doctorate expertise speaking, or the Doctor's?" Wanda asked her, raising a brow.

"Both," replied Martha.

Wanda rolled her eyes. "I'm fine now. Really."

Martha crossed her arms sternly. "Yeah, well, I don't want to take the chance of you getting hurt. The Doctor would have my head if anything happened to you."

"Oh, don't worry about him. I doubt very much he would care about this version of me at the current moment." Wanda waved her off, dismissing any protests Martha tried to put up.

Wanda walked off while Martha and Peck followed behind. They came up to a far off pathway of metal stairs leading towards the surface. Both Wanda and Martha made their way to the surface as Peck hesitated behind them. But, eventually, he tagged along as well after they had already pushed their way through a hatch.

The surface was very barren, with only a waste land around them. No signs of life anywhere. The whole planet had strong, cold winds gusting through as they walked across the surface. The sky was black with thick dark clouds. Three dim suns could be seen, but none gave enough light onto the landscape for the trio to see well. Wanda could hardly imagine the planet being anything more than this devastated land. Could the Source really change all of this? She wondered what it would look like after the terraforming took hold. She tried picturing it in her mind, a beautiful landscape filled with life. It was hard seeing else besides what dead earth which lay before her.

Wanda was lost in her ponderings when it happened. She heard Martha screaming behind her, yelling out for help. Wanda spun around to see Martha falling down a rocky hill, straight into a pool of quicksand.

"Martha!" Wanda screamed for her friend. She slid down the slope to the girl, coming up beside the edge of the sandy pool. She stretched out as far as she could to reach her. "Martha! Martha, reach! Reach for me! Come on!"

"I can't! You're too far away!" cried Martha. The girl began to sink into the sand, almost up to her chin. Wanda stood up, getting ready to jump in after her friend when Peck rushed in before her. He pushed Martha into Wanda's open arms, moving her to safety. Both girls cried out as they watched the sand take hold of Peck and pull him down. Martha cried into Wanda's shoulder after seeing the death of their friend.

Wanda stared in horror to the spot where the Hath had once been. She had forgotten all about Martha's fall. Wanda had been too stupid and ignorant. Just like all the other times. She could have stopped this from happening. She could have stopped his death. Just as she could have stopped all those others. A brief flash, a quick image of the little girl from Pompeii went through her mind as she stared to the quicksand. Her grip tightened around Martha and her eyes hardened as she felt something snap within her.

Things live, things die. That is what Wanda had told others. That's what she had been telling herself. An easy way of dismissing the deaths and moving on. Giving her an excuse not to act and dwell on deaths. All this time, she could have acted instead of believing there was nothing she could have done. The ones she had believed to be doomed from the start and never questioning a thing. She had believed nothing could be done since her disaster with Jabe. Wanda believed she never had the power to changing deaths. But she did once, with Jex. It worked then. It could work again. She was not foolish. She knew she could never save everyone. But there were those few who she could have saved. Who she can save.

No longer would Wanda take things laying down when it came to the people she could save. No longer would she believe she had no authority or power to save them. No longer would she idly stand by, watch and allow them to suffer because of her lack of self-confidence. No longer would she allow others to stand in her way in protecting those that she could. She was a Time Lord. She had the possibilities. She had been placed in this universe for a goal. She had been transformed from measly human to powerful being for a purpose. She had been given this gift for a reason. And she would use her gifts, her abilities, from this day forward. Starting today, she would protect everyone she could, especially her most precious people. Or, by god, she would die trying.

Wanda stood up with Martha, keeping a firm grip on her friend as they continued their journey. Wanda kept her eyes focused forward as they marched on. They finally came to the outer expanse of the colony building. The door opened up for them, allowing them to get out of the harsh environment and into safety.

"What now?" Martha asked her. Wanda could hear how upset the doctor still was about Peck's death, but Martha had pushed onward. Just as they always have to.

"This way," Wanda said curtly, moving them along. She kept her eyes focused firmly in front of them, feeling a great wave of determination course through her. But it drained right out of her once she saw the Doctor and the others come around a corner in from of her and Martha. Wanda felt only dread at the sight of him. Her determined demeanour diminished quickly as she felt herself recede back into her shell, fearing on what the Doctor will say or think of her being there. Martha rushed forward throwing her arms around the Time Lord happily.

They both hugged each other with a laugh. Martha went to move on to give Donna a hug while the Doctor smiled at the chestnut girl. Wanda felt her eyes waver as she stared to him.

"Doctor," she breathed quietly. She felt her eyes prick with tears. She quickly looked down to the floor. She heard the Doctor walk forward swiftly. He wrapped his arms around her as she began to shake. She did not deserve his compassion. She did not deserve anything but for him to yell and hate her.

"Hey, it's okay," he whispered as she shook in his arms. She hugged him back, burying her face into his shoulder as she cried.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry," she whispered over and over. "I didn't mean for it to happen. I didn't want it to happen. I only wanted Rose to be safe. I never wanted her to be hurt."

"I know. It's all right," the Doctor hushed her gently. He moved them back so he could stare at her. He cupped her face gently. "I understand now that there was nothing you could have done."

Wanda shook her head. "There was everything in the world I could have done. I just didn't think I could do it."

The Doctor gave her a stern gaze. "The TARDIS wouldn't have let you. We both know that."

"Yes, but . . ." She lowered her eyes from him, though unable to do so with her head as it was trapped in his grasp. "I could have tried harder."

"I don't think trying harder would have done anything. In the end, it had to be Rose."

Wanda remained silent for a moment. "Could you ever forgive me?"

The Doctor pulled her forward, making her stare at him again. "I'm the one who should be asking that. I was rather harsh on you . . . again. I was never really angry with you, just with everything else. And I let my temper get the best of me and say things I didn't mean. But I let my temper go in knowing you cared about her more than anything, and that it tore you up inside more than even me to see her like that. Well, that, and being in a regeneration coma might have helped cool me down some to think about it. Maybe even a little chat with your Third self as well." He gave a small grin to her. Wanda only stared up sadly, still not believing that she could be forgiven so easily. He smiled, leaning forward to give her a peck on the forehead.

"We'll talk more later," he said quickly. "Right now, we have a war to stop." Wanda nodded, allowing herself to move away from him. Donna came up quickly, giving her a tight hug.

"Glad you're all right, sweetheart," Donna said gently. She smiled warmly at Wanda when she moved away.

Wanda spotted Jenny behind her, seeing how the girl looked nervous by the Time Lady's gaze. Wanda only smiled brightly upon seeing her. The first thought crossing her mind on how much Jenny looked like the Doctor, and a little like Rose as well with her blonde hair and bright eyes. Wanda swiftly walked forward, giving Jenny a warm and welcoming hug.

"Oh, I've been waiting to meet you for ages now," Wanda said in delight. Jenny laughed cheerfully, returning the hug.

"How could it have been ages? You only just met me," the girl questioned in wonderment. Wanda pulled back, giving her a wink.

"Didn't you know? I can see the future," she said merrily. Jenny blinked in amazement.

"Really? How?" she asked.

"Long story. I'll explain it later once we get a chance to chat."

Jenny grinned. "And then travelling around, right?"

"Of course! Where else?"

Jenny gave the brightest and happiest smile. "Ha! Donna was right. She said you would accept me. So, does that really make you my mum, then?"

Wanda laughed, finding Jenny calling her 'mum' hilarious. The blonde girl was just about as old as she was. But Wanda figured since she was one of the last Time Lords, and a female at that, she might as well be considered Jenny's mother for now. Until River came around, of course.

"Sure. I'll be your mum," Wanda replied happily. Jenny beamed at that, giving her another delighted hug.

They rushed off when they heard General Cobb shouting in the distance. The human army was on their way. As the group ran up the flights of stairs, they all began to smell flowers. The Doctor led the way to follow said smell. They climbed up stairs until the came into a large garden area. It was filled with a vast amount of plant life. Scattered around were pools of fresh water and many different types of fish swimming.

"Isn't this brilliant?" the Doctor said happily at the sight. He gazed around cheerfully seeing all the beautiful plants. They walked up, seeing a large glass ball of light in the centre of the garden.

"Is that the Source?" Donna asked curiously to the sight of the glass orb.

"It's beautiful," breathed Jenny.

"What is it?" wondered Martha.

"Terraforming," the Doctor explained easily. "It's a third-generation terraforming device."

"So why are we suddenly in Kew Gardens?" questioned Donna.

"'Cause that's what it does," answered the Doctor, pointing around to the tropical garden around them. "All this, only bigger, much bigger. It's in a transit state, producing all this must help keep it stable before they finally—."

The Doctor was interrupted by a loud banging coming from behind him. He turned around quickly to see the Hath rushing in towards them, their weapons aimed for them. On the other side, the humans rushed in just the same way.

"Stop! Hold your fire!" the Doctor shouted to them, holding up his hands to halt them. The two armies kept their weapons drawn, refusing to let up on their fight. But they did hold back, waiting to hear from the Doctor. The others moved away from the drawing line, allowing the Doctor the space he needed.

"What is this, some kind of trap?" questioned Cobb suspiciously.

"You said you wanted this war over," the Doctor said hurriedly, hoping to convince them in time before anyone was to get hurt.

"I want this war won," barked Cobb.

"You can't win. No one can," the Doctor spoke calmly to him. He quickly looked around to all the rest, trying to get them to see the truth. "You don't even know why you're here. Your whole history, it's just Chinese whispers, getting more distorted the more it's passed on."

He paused to point at the terraformer.

"This is the Source," the Doctor continued to explain. "This is what you're fighting over, a device to rejuvenate a planet's ecosystem. It's nothing mystical. It's from a laboratory, not some creator. It's a bubble of gases, a cocktail of stuff for accelerated evolution: methane, hydrogen, ammonia, amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids. It's used to make barren planets habitable."

He stared around, seeing how the armies seemed to be slowly questioning themselves, slowly beginning to see truth to his words.

"Look around you," the Doctor went on. "It's not for killing. It's bringing life. If you allow it, it can lift you out of these dark tunnels and into the bright, bright sunlight. No more fighting. No more killing." He glanced over seeing how Jenny and Wanda smiled at him, both happy upon hearing his words. Both seeing the way he saved the worlds and its people, through the wonderful words of hope and life. He reached forward, yanking the terraform glass off its stand. "I'm the Doctor, and I declare this war is over!"

He smashed the glass ball to the floor. It broke apart, releasing the gases within. The beautiful green and gold colours danced into the air. The armies lowered their weapons to the ground, staring on in awe as the gases lifted upward and into the air above. The gases going off to begin its work and bring life to the world, bring hope to the colonists below. The war had ended upon the promise of life. No longer to bring death to anyone. Jenny walked up to the Doctor cheerfully; glad to have seen such wonderful feats from him.

"What's happening?" she asked him curiously.

"The gases will escape and trigger the terraforming process," the Doctor explained, smiling away to the sight of the green and gold lights above. Wanda smiled, feeling bliss in seeing the Doctor and Jenny beaming at each other. Laughing away as father and daughter should.

Wanda felt it then. A ping of warning in the back of her mind. A small shiver of fright and a chill of dread encased her body. Her eyes widened as they drifted over to Cobb. She saw the way the man glared to the Doctor, filled with hatred. The gleam within the General's eyes . . . Wanda had seen it before. Seen it too many times. The gleam, ready to make the worst act possible. The worst act imaginable.

The act to kill and end a life.

It happened so slowly to Wanda. The pistol in the man's hand crept upward, going to point straight at the Doctor. How Jenny saw this too, beginning to move in front of the Doctor and keep him from harm's way. All Wanda could see were a flurry of visions cross over her eyes. All the people, who had died at Wanda's inabilities, at her weakness. That was all she had ever been. Weak. But she had changed out there on the surface of that barren land. Something had changed about her. She no longer felt weak. She no longer felt powerless. She felt strong, powerful. And she had made her vow upon that change: Save them, or die trying.

And that was just what she was going to do.

Wanda moved without thinking. She kept her eyes focused on her task with a full force of resolve. As Jenny threw herself in front of the Doctor, Wanda threw herself in front of Jenny. The Time Lady made no noise, not a single sound. As Jenny yelled 'no,' Wanda simple stood tall in front of the Doctor and his daughter with her arms held out wide to protect them both from harm's way. She stood with complete firmness and intent, gladly ready to be their shield. The shot rang out and the bullet hit Wanda squarely in the chest, straight into her second heart. It stopped upon impact of the deadly force. Dying immediately as the bullet pierced it.

Wanda found it strange as she started to fall backwards. It did not hurt as she had been expecting. It only felt warm. So, warm. But she knew, this warmth, it was the feeling in knowing she had saved someone.

She fell back into the Doctor and Jenny's arms. They stumbled to the ground with her as she became dead weight, unable to stand. The Doctor gripped onto Wanda tightly as Jenny hovered over with fright. Martha and Donna both exclaimed in horror, hurriedly kneeling down next to Jenny as they hovered next to Wanda in alarm.

"No, no, no, not today," the Doctor said shakily, brokenly. He shook as he held her, breathing out unevenly as he stared down to his Wanderer, completely tormented by the sight of her in such a state. "Please, please, not today. Why did it have to be today?"

Wanda gasped out as she felt her wounded heart cease to function, becoming nothing more than a dead organ. Her remaining heart pumped viciously as it tried to keep up with its lost partner's task. She clutched at the Doctor's suit jacket in a vice grip as she felt herself slowly begin to slip. He began to pry at her hands, his own shaking greatly.

"Wanda. Wanda, you have to hold my hand," he said quickly, pleading to her. "You have to hold onto my hand. You have to regenerate." Wanda did not pay attention to his words, only focusing on what she had originally tried to accomplish.

"Jenny. Jenny? Is Jenny all right? Did I save Jenny?" Wanda asked, her voice wheezing as her breathes came out in gasps.

"She's fine. She's right here," the Doctor assured her. He kept trying to grab onto one of Wanda's hands. An uneasy task as her hands simply refused to move, and his own would just not stop shaking.

"Jenny?" Wanda breathed out.

"I'm right here," Jenny said gently to her, trying to keep both herself and the dying Time Lady calm. Jenny stroked at Wanda's head, wishing to help stop her pain and from dying in some way. "I'm right here, mum." Wanda breathed in a sigh of relief.

"I saved you. I stopped it from happening," Wanda spoke happily, her eyes beginning to glaze over as her remaining heart slowed down. Her mind was going fuzzy. The Doctor fiercely tried to pry at least one of her hands away from his shirt.

"Wanda. Wanda, stay with me," he spoke in alarm. "You've got to stay with me. You can't leave me. Please, don't leave me. Take my hand, please! You have to regenerate!"

Wanda stared up to him as everything around the room began going dim. She only focused on him as her mind became muddled. The warmth. It was so warm. She never imagined death could feel so wonderfully warm. She never imagined being in the Doctor's arms could feel so . . . blissful.

As her mind slipped, Wanda knew she needed to tell him. Tell him something. But with her mind so fuzzy, unable to think of anything, she did what her hearts wanted. What they had wanted to do all this time. She could practically hear them screaming now, even with one dead and the other dying. She pulled the Doctor down and kissed him. She kissed him warmly, gently, softly, lovingly. Wanting to pour out all the emotions she had felt for him. Since meeting him. Since seeing him on the telly. Since knowing of his existence. Telling him everything he had done for her. Everything he did to make her life wonderful in that one, simple, kiss.

Wanda pulled away slowly, staring into his shocked and wavering eyes.

"Goodbye, Doctor," she whispered. The warmth filled her up. The white light appeared. She was gone from his arms in a blink, with her loving words lingering behind.

Okay . . . please don't hate me! Sorry, I know that is a pretty bad place to leave it off on, but don't worry, it's for a really good reason. It was the only to make part two's opening make sense so I just had to end it this way. Also, don't worry for a long wait. I will be posting the newest story up say . . . I think the latest by Friday. It might be going up sooner than that, but if life gets in the way, then definitely on Friday. I hope you guys are not too mad with me for that ending. If you are, I'll happily post up two chapters of the next story to make up for it. :)

Quick Note: Any reviews sent from this point will be happily answered in the first chapter of the next part of the story. :) Also, I will place a quick author's note on this story as a notice for when I post up the next story. This way, everyone will not be left in the dark as to when I do post the next part. :)

Reviewers:

Blinked310: Yeah, Nine let his temper get the best of him again. Glad you enjoyed the twist. Let's just say, Bad Wolf does play a huge part into Wanda's past. And into the future as well. ;) I also hope this was a nice surprise as to how First Wanda left off on. Thank you so much for all the reviews and support you have given me throughout the story. I really, truly appreciate it. :) Hope to see you in the next part!

ElysiumPhoenix: Yay! I'm glad it was a good surprise. :) I hope you enjoyed this chapter just as much. Thank you so much for sending your support and sticking with the story. :D I really hope to see you in the next part.

grapejuice101: lol Well . . . I hope you did not mind the way this chapter ended. I know I left it off a bad spot. Please, don't be upset. I will be updating soon, so don't worry you will find out what happens next. I promise. :) Anyway, thank you for all the support you have given the story. I'm so glad to see you've enjoyed it so much. :)

Luna M. Moon: I know it's sort of late now, but Happy Birthday! :D I hope last chapter was a nice present for you. :) I also hope you enjoyed this chapter as well. :) Thanks for being here for the story!

Mitsuyuki-Hime: Glad last chapter answered all your questions. As to the Doctor and Rose's relationship, that will be given more light into the next part. As well as why exactly the Doctor was so concerned about First Wanda and her twelve month time with him. Oh, and with the Day of the Doctor, let's just say that will be playing a very important role in part three of the Wanderer of Time trilogy. ;) Thank you so much for all the lovely reviews and support you have given the story. I hope to see you in the next story! :D

The bunny always dies first: Well . . . I guess this counts as her regenerating. We just haven't necessarily witnessed it just yet. I hope you are not too mad about the ending. Thank you so much for sticking around through the story. I really hope you have been enjoying it. :) Also hope to see you in the next part! :D

firedog1235: Glad you enjoyed the chapter. :) I hope you liked this one as well. Thank you for being around for the story. I hope to see you in the next part! :D

Kayla: You're ever so welcome! Thank you for sticking around for the story for so long and sending reviews! :D I really hope you enjoyed the chapter and will like the next part to come as well. :)

AxidentlGoddess: Yay! I'm happy it was a nice surprise. :) No, the Doctor was horrified by another reason to which will be explained towards the beginning of the next part. As for her hating herself, it will play a big key in Second Wanda's personality and many of the turmoil she will be going through in the next story to come. Also, you will get to see what the Doctor and Rose were like right after Bad Wolf in part two as well. :) Thank you so, so much for being here throughout the story, and for all the support and lovely reviews! :D I hope to see you in the next part of Wanderer of Time. :)

MinecraftLover00: Hey, welcome back! I haven't seen you in a while. :) I'm so happy you enjoyed the chapter. I hope you liked this one as well. No, Rose is not the Moment, neither is Bad Wolf. It's more of Wanda could not tell the Doctor that Bad Wolf had helped Gallifrey out in such a big way, so she sort of said Rose instead. Though, if you think about it, for Rose becoming Bad Wolf to which Bad Wolf then helped the Time War, Rose did in fact sort of helped Gallifrey out as well. :) Anyway, all will be explained in the future as to why that all is. Let's just say, it will be a huge key to Wanda's past and future. Thanks for being here for the story even in the very end. :) Thanks for all the reviews, too! I hope to see you in the next part as well. :D

yellowroseofthenw: lol Well . . . please don't be mad at me for this one, either. Don't worry, you won't have to wait long for the next part. I really hope you enjoy the next story, and I also really hope to see you there! :D Thanks for the support and the review!

Jesuslovesmarina: Yes, I completely agree it would be awesome! But . . . there's a important reason as to why Wanda can't really regenerate along with the Doctor. Spoilers for the future. ;) Thank you so much for sticking around with the story for so long and giving your support. :) I really hope to see you in the next part.

Fireball221B: lol Hello, again! :D Aww, thank you again so much. I really appreciate that. :) And don't worry, the next part will be updated very soon so you can see her next incarnation. :) I hope you will enjoy the next part. Thank you for giving support for this first part, and I hope to see you in the next one! :D

HarryPotter4EverAndBeyond: Hey! It's been ages since I've seen you! :D Welcome back! Aww, thank you so much, I'm so happy that you have enjoyed the story. :) I hope you will enjoy the next part as well. :) Here's to hoping to see you there! And thanks for the support and the reviews you have given me. :D

Sah: Sorry the chapter wasn't posted yesterday. lol I actually just finished editing this when I got your second review. :) Sorry about the wait, life got in the way. Don't be too angry with Nine. He really does just let his temper get the best of him sometimes and says and does things he does not necessarily mean. :) I'm happy you enjoyed the chapter and the nice twist with Bad Wolf. And yes, the continuation will be coming out by the end of the week. :) Thank you so much for giving your support and all the lovely reviews to the story. I really hope to see you in the next part! :D

Thanks once again to everyone! For all the reviews, favorites, and follows! :D Even if you didn't do these, I'm completely grateful even if you simply just gave the story a chance and read it. :) I really, really, really and truly hope to see all readers in the next part of the Wanderer trilogy. As well as hoping everyone will enjoy the next part to come! :D
