Half Like Me

Chapter One,

Rose was even more confused than usual by the Doctor's behaviour as he rushed around the centre console of the TARDIS. He wasn't speaking or making any noise at all, he wasn't giving off any clues as to where they were going, in fact it seemed to the young girl that he'd forgotten she was there. All he did was press buttons and pull levers on the TARDIS, ever now and then checking a little box he held tightly in his hand.

"What's goin' on?" Rose asked eventually. All he did was hold out the box, allowing her to see the blue dot on the screen. "OK, so are we going there? To the…dot?" It didn't help that she didn't know what it was.

"Yes." That was the first thing he'd said in about ten minutes so it was a start.

"OK but what is that, the little blue dot?" Rose asked, moving closer to him but he dodged away, still working steadily on the TARDIS.

"That Rose is a miracle that can't be," he turned suddenly, face to face with her, "This is the reading of a Time Lord." Silence reigned as she slowly processed the information, he watching her face turn very serious.

"But you're the last one, you said so, everyone says so," she said slowly.

"That's why it's a miracle that can't be. My race was destroyed, this reading shouldn't exist and it definitely shouldn't be where and when it is," The Doctor said quickly. "Earth, 2006. Area 51 and that can only mean one thing. Whoever it is has been discovered and your scientists are trying to figure out what it is."

"So we're going to save whoever it is?" Rose asked.

"Yes."

"Charles II became King in 1660. James II became King in 1685. William III and Mary II ruled in 1689. Anne ruled in 1702. George I became King in 1714. George II became King in…" The voice never stopped, reciting over and over again all day long, ranging from Rulers of England the place of his birth to the different places he'd lived and for how many years.

"Can't you shut him up or at least get him to give some real answers?" one of the scientist in white coats and green gloves asked angrily.

"That's all he says now. He used to talk, back when he was first brought here but that was almost sixty years ago sir, sixty years of solitude and experimentation has had it's effect on his brain," the only female member of the team said.

"George III became King in 1760. George IV became King in 1820. William IV became King in 1830. Queen Victoria ascended to the throne in 1837. Edward VII became King in 1901. George V became King in 1910…" The dull blue eyes stared up at the ceiling as if dead, the boy didn't move anything but his lips.

"I can't take this, if he's not going to help us by talking gag him. We'll focus on discovering how he works," the new man said angrily, angrier than when he had spoken earlier. As the female doctor carefully tied her own scarf around the boys mouth muffling the words he picked up a scalpel. "Are we required to sedate him?"

"Yes," the woman glared at him, "Hold on and I'll anaesthetise him."

"Woman and their kind emotions, I prefer to examine my aliens alive, conscious," the man sneered down at the boy while holding the scalpel close to the pale cheek. "Does that make you frightened?" But the mumbling into the gag did not stop, the eyes did not move from their spot on the ceiling.

"I need you to move," the female Doctor said impatiently. With an insane grin he stepped back but not that far, just enough for her to step between him and the boy and inject the sedative into his arm.

"Now the fun begins."

"Is this Area 51?" Rose asked when they stepped out of the blue box.

"No this is a cupboard."

"Is the cupboard in Area 51?" Rose asked impatiently as the Doctor pressed his ear to the white door in front of them. "Well is it?" Her voice had risen but with a wave of his hand he hushed her, pointing to the door.

"People," he said quietly, "On the count of three I'm going to pull two in here. I need you to knock them out." He told her quietly. At first she frowned but nodded, picking up a heavy metal lump from one of the shelves. "Right." He opened the door and grabbed two people, one in army uniform, one in a doctors white coat. Quickly she hit both of them round the back of the head. "Well done."

"Thanks. Now what?" she asked replacing the metal thing.

"Now we put their uniforms on and go and find the source of the signal," he said once he'd shut the door. "You take the army uniform."

"How come you get to be the Doctor?" she asked as he pulled on the white coat over his suit. She was still struggling to get the army jacket off the woman.

"Because I am a Doctor, I'll help you." With his help she soon had the camouflage trousers and jacket on over her union jack t-shirt and small denim skirt. "Put your hair up and put the baseball cap on, don't speak. You're accent will be a dead give away."

"What about yours?" she asked while roughly putting her hair up.

"I remember how Jack talked," he said in a rather good American accent, so like their friend Jack's had been. "I think I'll pass for a local don't you?"

"So could I," Rose's accent was so bad the Doctor actually physically winced and she blushed. "OK no talking, but what if someone asks me something?"

"I'll answer." Calmly he stepped out of the cupboard and she followed, almost running to keep up with him as he discretely checked his little black box with a blue dot to mark what they were heading for. With a sigh she struggled to keep up with him, keeping her head down as they walked through the many corridors and through many solid looking doors. And surprisingly they weren't stopped once. "It's behind this door somewhere." His voice was quiet and gentle.

"Let's go and rescue it then," Rose said opening the door for him.

"I'm afraid you can't go any further, operation in process," the guard before them said calmly. "You'll have to wait until after." Rose looked up at the Doctor who looked furious, pulling out his psychic paper he held it up to the man.

"I'm meant to be in there, can't you see," he said angrily.

"Oh yes sorry sir, go straight on in," the guard opened the door.

"Wait for me here," the Doctor said to Rose who nodded, stepping back to lean casually against the wall as he stepped into the room. Before him was a sight that almost made him kill someone. A man was about to start slicing into the pale chest of an eighteen year old boy, gagged and chained to the operating table. "Stop what you are doing!"

"How dare you interrupt us sir! Who do you think you are!" the man with the scalpel shouted angrily, pointing it at the Doctor. Up went the psychic paper.

"I am your superior that's who I am and you will release that subject to me! I have orders to transport him elsewhere to conduct my own tests!" The Doctor shouted in the man's face whose manner had changed as soon as he read the name on the paper, changed to fear.

"Yes sir," he said quietly, shaking slightly.

"Get him onto the trolley immediately! I will take him myself with my guard outside. You shall all remain here!" the Doctor's voice did not lower even as they obeyed, moving the boy's limp body onto the movable trolley, strapping him down securely. "And take that gag out of his mouth!"

"Sorry sir," the woman said untying the scarf hastily while the Doctor opened the door and beckoned to Rose.

"Take the other end," he ordered her and she nodded, remembering her orders not to speak. "I will be making a full report, if you don't want it to be bad for all of you do not leave this room."

"Of course sir." Barely acknowledging them he pulled the trolley behind him along with Rose who found herself looking down at the poor boys head, noting as she walked how handsome he was with long brown hair falling to his shoulders and pale skin marred only by light bruises and red chafe marks from the gag.

"We did it," she said quietly. The Doctor nodded to her and led the way quickly to the cupboard with the TARDIS in it. "We actually did it."

"Hey you! Where are you taking him!" a voice shouted behind them.

"Spoke too soon!" The Doctor shouted breaking into a run, forcing Rose to run as well to keep up with the trolley. The people behind gave chase but they were soon at the right cupboard. "Undo the straps and hurry, we need to get him into the TARDIS." Between them they freed the boy from the trolley and carried him between them into the cupboard as the first warning shot sounded, impacting in the wall. But by the time the guard got into the cupboard the TARDIS was gone.

"We actually did it," Rose said slowly as she held the boys head in her lap.

"It was a close one but we did succeed," the Doctor said calmly, pulling off the white coat. "Now let's find out what this reading is all about."

A/N There we go, don't know when this is set in the series but it has to be, for obvious reasons, before the end of the series as Rose go bye bye. R&R if you wanna.
