Okay, here you go. Enjoy this next chapter, and please review!
Rose froze. She could see the Doctor's blue eyes in the darkened room, and Jack's green ones beside them, accompanied by several different sets of eyes. She could just make out their figures; the Doctor's being nearly invisible due to the amount of black he was wearing.
"Leave her out of this, Dravel. This doesn't involve her." The Doctor said, and Rose heard Dravel chuckle behind her.
"It does now, Doctor. I'm making it involve her. Are you worried about her? Or yourself as usual?" Rose heard his voice change to that of her…mother's.
"What did you do to my mum?" Rose asked, and this time, it was her mother's laugh.
"Your mother is fine, Rose. I believe she is sitting in her kitchen, wondering why you were yelling at her."
"You took my form? Leave my mum out of this. If I find out you've hurt her, I swear you're going to wish you've never interfered with the Tylers." Rose said, and she meant it. The Doctor had to agree. Rose had inherited the Tyler temper, and most likely the Tyler slap. He'd been slapped once before by Jackie Tyler, and he didn't want it to happen again.
"What are you going to do, Rosebud?" Big mistake, the Doctor and Jack knew immediately. Rose hated the name 'Rosebud'. Rose hated it with such a fiery passion that somebody was about to get hurt.
"You shouldn't have said that, Dravel. She hates that name." The Doctor said, and he heard Rose's foot connecting with someone's shin. And winced when he heard it crack. He also heard her fist land on someone's throat, and heard the guy hit the floor, choking.
"Stop her, you idiots. She's a nineteen year old girl! How hard can it be to catch her?" Dravel yelled, and the Doctor and Jack whirled around at the same time, sending their fists into masked faces. Jack had grabbed a metal pole off the ground and was whirling it around in a deadly dance.
The Doctor had two people on the ground gasping for breath, and was about to hit a third when someone hit him on the back of the head with a chain. He dimly heard Jack's makeshift weapon hit the ground, followed by Jack.
"Doctor!Get off me, damn it!" Rose called, and looking across the room, the Doctor could see Dravel dragging Rose away.
"Do you even remember why I'm doing this, Doctor?" Dravel asked, tossing Rose to two of his guards. He had morphed to his true face, a broad shouldered man with black hair and slate gray eyes.
"Yes, I do, Dravel. And you have to see that I didn't do anything wrong. I wasn't harming my wife or kids." The Doctor said, and Dravel kneeled down next to the Doctor.
"You had no right to take them from me! And in return, I'm going to take something valuable to you. Oh, wait, I already have. I've taken something of Rose's that not even you can get back." Dravel said, and saw the Doctor's blue eyes harden.
Doctor?
'Now really isn't the time!' The Doctor said in his head. He wouldn't let Dravel see him talking to apparently no one.
I've taken the liberty to alert the local police. They will be on their way, but it will be a while. You must get out of there. Dravel has time to do what he threatens.
'Thank you. How do I stop him?'
"Doctor, are you listening? I think he's passed out. Good. Gives me time to do what I've wanted." Dravel said, and walked back towards Rose.
"Leave her alone!" Jack called, and Rose heard someone kick Jack several times. She began to fight her captors, but they were stronger than her.
-Every man has a weakness, Rose. The same one. I believe you've used it before. Probably on Ricky-boy, or someone else. But if all else fails, you know what to do.- Rose remembered the Doctor saying that to her, while he was teaching her.
Rose's foot lashed out and caught one guy in the crotch, sending him to the ground. Rose whirled around and did the same to the other guy. Dravel approached her, and Rose stood up to her full height.
"Hey, Dravel. Look up." The Doctor said, from behind him, pointing the sonic screwdriver up at the ceiling. Dravel looked up to find a metal beam falling towards him.
"Fuck." Dravel said before the thousand pound beam hit him. Rose rushed over to the Doctor, and he waved her away, standing up a bit shakily. Rose stepped back, and looked around for Jack. He was lying on the floor, blood streaming from his nose.
"Jack!" Rose cried and ran over to him. He was rasping for breath, his eyes glazed over. Rose dropped to her knees beside him, and he reached out for her.
"Rose? You alright?" Jack asked, and Rose nodded. He smiled and his green eyes closed.
"Jack? Jack! Doctor, Jack, he's not responding to me." Rose said, and the Doctor limped over to him. The sonic screwdriver was passed over Jack's body, and the Doctor cursed. Violently.
"Doctor?" Rose asked, and the Doctor started switching things around on the screwdriver. He ran it over Jack's ribs, and over his head.
"He's got a nasty concussion. We've got to get him back to the TARDIS, or there could be permanent damage. The Doctor lifted Jack up, and kicked open the doors to the building. He could hear police sirens in the background, and hurried to the TARDIS. Rose hastily opened the doors and they hightailed it to the Infirmary.
"Do you think he'll be okay?" Rose asked, sitting next to the Doctor. He was still in the Infirmary. Rose brought him a cup of tea, which he drank thankfully. Jack was still unconscious, and even out of it, he still looked the part of the intergalactic rogue everyone made him out to be.
"He should be fine. The TARDIS is keeping him asleep until he heals completely, and then he'll have to take a break for a few days. As soon as he wakes up, I'm going to let the TARDIS sit in the Time Vortex for a few days, let Jack recuperate. And then, I think we'll go back and visit your mum." The Doctor said, and he could feel Rose sigh beside him.
"What is it? Surely you want to go see your mum?" The Doctor asked, and then thought about something. Would she tell her mother what happened? Jackie would be furious. The Doctor would receive more than a slap, he was sure.
" 'Course I want to see my mum. But I'm trying to figure out if I should tell her or not. I mean, she'd be so pissed off at you, she'd try to have you arrested or something. She'd probably think that you did it. Or Jack. Most likely Jack." Rose said and turned to face the Doctor. He wasn't looking at Jack, he was looking at her. Rose felt a blush rise in her cheeks, and she tried to look away. He caught her face with his hand and held it.
"Rose Tyler…you are undeniably beautiful, did you know that?" The Doctor said, just before he kissed her. Rose froze for a second and realized this was her Doctor. Her Doctor would stop before it went too far. Rose closed her eyes and kissed back with a passion.
"Do you two want to be alone?" Jack asked, startling them. He had the typical Harkness grin on his face, leaning up on his elbows. Rose stood and left the room, her cheeks bright red. The Doctor looked back just as she disappeared from the room.
"Sorry about that, Doctor. I couldn't pass that up. At least you've finally showed her how you feel. Go after her. I promise I won't get jealous of Rose." Jack said, and the Doctor stood, rolling his eyes.
"You feeling okay?" the Doctor asked, and Jack waved him off.
"I'm fine, Doctor. Never been better. Just don't let me catch you all again, you hear? Then I might get jealous." The Doctor left, leaving Jack feeling proud of him. About time those two got together. Even though he had only been with them a short time, he could tell this had been going on for quite a while. Would they go all the way, after what happened to Rose? Probably not, he'd just have to find out.
