Sorry the relative lateness of this chapter, and the sort of shortness. Was a bit rushed off my feet today! Will try to get the next chapter up 2moro.

Thanks again to everyone for the reviews. I am basking in review glow... :-D

Disclaimer: I own nothing. I am a nobody. However I am working on that...both parts, seriously, how cool would it be to own Doctor Who?

It occurred to Rose as she was lying on her bed in her cell, alone and bored (even more so that in Jack's ship and that really was saying something), that if her baby and Bad Wolf were working seemingly together to keep her from harm, that couldn't she just walk out of here?

They weren't going to do any seriously harmful to her for fear of hurting the baby, and with the fact that no one wishing her or her baby harm could touch her, or even get near her, it made an odd kind of sense that she could escape with relative ease. Well, it was worth a shot wasn't it?

Rising to her feet, Rose crossed the room. She then collapsed to the floor, crying out in a pained voice she hoped sounded believably. It took only a couple of moments for the view latch to slide open. A pair of eyes looked through, searching the room, before dropping to her form lying on the floor. There was a barely audible sigh, and the latch slid closed.

Rose only had to wait a few minutes for the sound of running feet, and muffled voices outside her door. Not daring to smile at how easily she had got them there, Rose clutched her bump and moaned softly, closing her eyes and tilting her head back. As expected, the bolt on the door was swiftly opened, and an unknown doctor stepped through the door, her face wary.

She approached Rose, who wanted to roll her eyes at the stupidity of her. Just before the woman came into contact, she was thrown across the room, her head colliding with the wall with an audible 'thump', and Rose winced slightly. Quickly, she got to her feet, and jammed her foot in the gap between the door and the wall as a terrified nurse tried to slam it shut.

It wasn't hard to over power the nurse (did they go all out to employ stupid and weak people or something?) and wrench the door open. The guard instantly raised his gun as she stepped into the doorway. But Rose found herself an observer in her own body as she felt the golden being, the other half to her soul, take control of her safety.

Her arm was raised, palm facing out wards, and the gun dissolved in a shimmer of golden dust. Rose felt her head tip to one side as she regarded the second guard to her cell. Sensibly, he turned and ran, pulling his shell shocked partner with him as he did. Bad Wolf smiled, and so did Rose, her lips curving up in amusement.

The corridor was empty. No guards had yet come to help. Rose shrugged within herself. Made it easier, she supposed, and she started to walk down the hallway. Bad Wolf's presence had faded slightly, and Rose found herself mostly back in control. She walked quickly, but oddly enough felt no need to hurry.

She had already proven that she could deal with the problems guards and other personnel caused, so to be perfectly honest she wasn't in any great rush. She could feel Bad Wolf constantly keeping watch, feeling out wards, advising Rose the best way to go to avoid the reinforcements which had finally decided to arrive, but which were 5 minutes too late.

As she half hurried, half walked, Rose thought forwards to the look that would grace her Doctor's face when he realised she had rescued herself. In fact, she was so deep in thought, she didn't notice as she collided into another person walking the other way around the corner.

Panicking slightly, Rose stumbled to her feet. Why hadn't Bad Wolf warned her? But she on her feet before she realised there was no sense of danger emanating from her golden protector. Only a sense of familiarity Rose had missed deep in her thoughts. In fact, when she herself looked up the person she had collided with, Rose grinned with relief, and surprise.

'Mickey? What you doing here?' The man in question looked slightly confused at seeing Rose free, and wandering the halls of Torchwood.

'Er, rescuing you. I thought.' he replied, tapping the large gun in his hands. Rose rolled her eyes at his overdone dramatics.

'How did ever get in unnoticed with that thing?' she asked, whilst grabbing his arm, and pulling him back the way he had come from. He shrugged.

'Borrowed it from the armoury.' He said. 'But Rose, how are you even wandering around? We were under the impression you were being held.' Rose waved a hand dismissively over her shoulder as she dragged him along behind her.

'Na, gave up waiting for you lot to rescue me, so did it myself.' She shot him a grin over her shoulder. 'Working quite well don't you think?' Mickey gave a half smile in return, still confused as ever.

'But Rose..' he started, before abruptly coming to a stop as he stumbled to a halt beside Rose. In front of them were about 20 armed soldiers. All guns raised, and pointed at them. Mickey gulped. Rose just grinned.

This was going to be fun. Just think of all the places she could send them! Far far further than the Thames...oh the ideas! At the gleam in her eyes, Mickey gulped, then looked at the soldiers.

Actually, it was them he felt sorry for.

Right guys, sorry it's a little shorter than normal, I didn't have much time and I felt a bit guilty bout not updating today. I'm not too sure it's up to scratch, so don't be surprised if the contents of this chapter change slightly in the future...

Anyway, as always, reviews not just welcomed, they are loved!
