Here's the final part. Part 6. Yay. Sorry this took longer than expected, but it's here now.

If you want a sequal, I may do one. If I can be bothered that is.

Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who like I've said so many times ifI did Rose would still be with us. :)

Part 6: The Healing Process

"Aren't you bored?" Jack asked looking over at the Doctor, they'd been flying through the time vortex waiting for Rose to 'heal' for a good week now, and Jack was starting to feel slightly bored.

"Ummm, yeah…" the Doctor said smiling at him; "But hey, we'll get back to our old way of life once Rose is better!" he said happily moving himself under the control panel, Jack often wondered if the Doctor only 'fixed' the TARDIS to keep his mind off other more pressing matters.

"Rose is gonna wanna go home and see her mum…" Jack said leaving the statement open, it wasn't a question so the Doctor didn't feel the need to respond. Jack rolled his eyes, if there was one thing in this universe that the Doctor was scared of, it would be Rose's mother, Jack hadn't a clue why, he personally thought she was a lovely woman, but as the Doctor constantly reminded him, Jack had never had Jackie Tyler mad at him.

"I will you know…" Rose's voice broke the silence and for the second time in a week the Doctor hit his head on the console and wondered if his headache was the worst in all the history of all headaches. He slid out from under the TARDIS.

"You sure?" he asked not sure if he wanted to take her home, scared almost that after all she'd seen recently she'd want to stay there. Rose gave him a look that he couldn't argue with so he moved swiftly to the console and set it to arrive at the Powell Estate. Rose sighed softly and sat down beside the Doctor. "How are you feeling?" he asked breaking the silence that had fallen around them.

"Much better," Rose said quietly as she rested her head against his shoulder; "What did you do to Zoe?" she asked. She of course would not have known, she'd been sleeping for the past week.

The Doctor smiled at her; so domestic and always caring; "We took her home, she was lost, the Torats had messed with her brain the same as they had yours all she really wanted was to go home."

Rose smiled; "Where was home?" she asked politely.

-Flashback-

"I'm sorry, please, please don't hurt me!" she begged as she tried to back away from the Doctor, he'd just seen to Rose and put her in the TARDIS' infirmary. Jack's eyes flicked from her to the Doctor and back again, he thought that the Doctor would do something that he would regret. Rose was important to him. More than important, he loved her. So Jack was sure, he was certain in fact, that the Doctor would hurt or even kill this girl for what she did to Rose, if he didn't step in, and do something to stop him.

"Doctor!" Jack's voice was stern, well he hoped it was anyway. The Doctor looked up at him and nodded, he wasn't going to hurt her.

He pulled his sonic screwdriver from his pocket and pointed it at her head, she shrank away thinking it was a weapon of some sort, the Doctor glared at her and she stopped squirming he flashed the sonic screwdriver on again and it emitted a high pitched beeping noise as he set and re-set it so he could find out what was going on in her head. Jack watched interested, but he didn't interfere he had learnt not to.

Zoe's eyes had glazed over and she appeared to be looking at something over the Doctor's shoulder.

"Hmm this is very interesting…" the Doctor muttered to himself as he moved around her head, the sonic screwdriver was still buzzing away, quietly.

"What is it Doctor?" Jack asked announcing his presence to the Doctor who was thinking out loud to himself.

"Umm, the Torats they were controlling her, somehow, using her to get to me…" Jack muttered something that sounded like; 'It worked' but the Doctor ignored him and continued; "They found the time vortex in Rose's head, that freaked them, out just a tad and they didn't want to keep prodding about in there, that's why we heard the screaming stop, they had stopped. But they clearly weren't satisfied and used her to do some detective work for them. Poor girl. From what I found out, she was taken from her home as a young child, by the Torats and they raised her, almost in captivity, she's from a solar system very similar to Earth's whish is why at a glance you'd think she were actually human…but she's not…she's Tulosian, from the planet Tulos, Poor poor child, so very far from home." The Doctor paused and whizzed off to the TARDIS' console; "We're taking her home!" he said smiling at Jack's bemused expression.

-End of Flashback-

"So you see, she didn't really mean to cause all this upheaval and her family were very pleased to see her alive and well!" the Doctor said kindly placing an arm around Rose, and smiling down at her.

Rose smiled back at him; "So you sent her home, just like that…?" Rose asked as if she were wanting some sort of retribution for what Zoe did to her.

"Rose…she didn't know what she was doing, you can't blame her, she was lost…" Jack interjected. Rose looked up at him, she looked slightly put out, but she nodded.

"Doctor…?" Rose's voice was questioning and cause the Doctor to look at her.

"Yes Rose?" he said smiling contently.

"When we were leaving, I remember seeing the Torats, they were scared of us, why is that?" she asked looking at him, with innocent unknowing eyes.

The Doctor swallowed; "Well. You know they were probing your brain?" he paused and she nodded silently; "Well they found some of the Time Vortex in there, and it attacked them attached itself onto their brains, caused them to go mad. It was Bad Wolf saving you from them. The managed to close up your head and those who hadn't been effected took you to the cell where I found you." He paused again and studied Rose's face. Reality dawned, she had done this, she was the cause of the death of quite a few Torats, for some strange reason this disturbed her a lot more than the fact that she had kill every single last Dalek.

"Rose?" the Doctor's brow was now furrowed as he watched her mulling things over. Jack watched from a distance his arms folded one eyebrow raised.

"I killed them?" She asked her voice wavering.

"No…well you did, but it wasn't your fault they actually killed each other, you only drove them mad." The Doctor paused, he hadn't phrased that well. "Look Rose, don't blame yourself you had no control over Bad Wolf you didn't do anything knowingly!" he stated firmly, hoping that, that had sounded better.

Rose nodded dumbly, not really listening, she'd killed them, it was her fault. The Doctor could see the turmoil behind her eyes and he pulled her in close to him, he hugged her tightly and kissed the top of her head whispering; "Stop blaming yourself, you couldn't help it!" she nodded slowly against his chest. But he could tell she would still be blaming herself for sometime to come.

"So…" Jack paused thinking of a way to dispel the awkward silence that had fallen; "Now that, that's over with…" he was cut off by the TARDIS landing, he wasn't ready for it so he fell over and landed on his back. Rose stifled a giggle at him but the Doctor laughed whole heartedly. Jack got slowly to his feet and dusted himself off. He cleared his throat and tried to act like nothing had happened. Rose bit her lip, clearly amused. She and the Doctor got to their feet and headed towards the door of the TARDIS.

"You think Jackie will have heard us coming? She's quite good at hearing us you know!" the Doctor said it a conversational tone. Jack shrugged not really caring and Rose smiled as he tried to make things feel more normal. It wasn't working, but it was the thought that counted.

Jack was first to step out of the TARDIS and they immediately heard a female voice they all knew so well shout; "Where's Rose?" Rose smirked at the Doctor who winced at her tone of voice.

"She'll be even less happy when she hears about the Torats!" he said smiling at her.

"We don't have to tell her…" Rose said quietly. The Doctor frowned, not that he was against the idea, quite the contrary, he was all for it, it was a great way to save his cheeks from being slapped, it was just Rose wasn't the sort of girl who hid things from her mum. She'd live with her for 19 years of her life; -maybe- the Doctor thought –she's sick of her mum knowing everything- the Doctor smiled supportively, whatever she deicide he would go along with. Jackie was her mother after all. Rose took his hand and squeezed it before stepping out of the TARDIS, she was closely followed by the Doctor who was smiling.

"Ohh Rose!" he heard Jackie squeal as she leapt forwards to envelope her daughter in a warm hug. Jack and the Doctor just stood back and watched.

"She's going to be fine isn't she?" Jack said more than asked.

The Doctor's eye flitted from the scene in front of him to Jack who had his arms crossed as he leant against the TARDIS; "Of course she is…" he said as confidently as he could. He wasn't entirely sure, with Rose having the time vortex inside her, only a little bit could still have some effect. It worried him that Rose nearly had to die for him to see what had been staring him in the face for almost two years. He should have known. He'd fallen in love with her. Yet he hadn't managed to see this! It wasn't right.

"Rose could've die because I was too blind to notice that she was different…" the Doctor spoke in a distant voice, a voice of blame that he used when saying; 'sorry'. Rose had grinned over at them, she was safe and sound and happy, yet still the Doctor blamed himself. Jack sighed.

"She could've yes, but that's what she signed up for the day she agreed to come with you, riding with you changed her life, as it has mine, but Rose and I knew of all the dangers before we said yes, and we still came, don't you think that if she'd had enough of all of this risking her neck she would have left be now? She loves her new life. She loves you. Never doubt that!" he stated firmly. The Doctor looked at him through grateful watery eyes. "And don't ask me if I mean it. 'Cause you know I do. Every word!" He whispered smiling. The Doctor nodded silently.

"Come on boys, mum's invited us round for tea!" Rose called them with a giggle. The Doctor nodded and shoved his hands in his pockets as he and Jack followed the two women who walked ahead of them.

So there it was, the return to normality. Rose was back to her old self, and all she needed was a good cup of tea and a dose of healthy gossip from her mother, human company. Not that Jack was bad, but Rose needed her mother. It's always a mother's touch that heals all ills. Jack was, over the moon that Rose was better, glad to see her smiling again, like the old Rose. It was a good sign. The Doctor sat smiling quietly to himself as they all ate their biscuits and drank their tea. He was more than happy that Rose was going to be ok. Well when you love someone, it comes naturally to care about them.That saidthe three of them couldn't wait to rush off to their next adventure. Together.

The End.
