The gates of the hospital opened up, revealing a horde of gas masked patients, Jamie leading them.

"Are you my mummy?" He asked, walking forward.

"He's going to keep asking, Nancy. He's never going to stop."

"Mummy?"

"Nancy, you have to tell him. He's scared, and he just wants his mom," Nancy looked at me and I took a deep breath. "Trust me."

She turned around, walking toward Jamie, "Yes. I am your Mummy."

"Mummy?"

"I'm here." She knelt down in front of him, and he stopped.

"Are you my mummy?"

"I'm here."

"Are you my mummy?"

"Yes."

"Are you my mummy?"

"He doesn't understand, there's not enough of him left," The Doctor muttered, and I said, "Be patient."

"I'm trusting your judgement here."

"That's actually the logical thing to do, judging by the fact that she knows the future and doesn't necessarily need to judge anything,"

"Way to ruin the moment, Rose, I was trying to make a point,"

"Okay, can anybody tell me why we're having this conversation right now of all times?" I hissed, and they both shrugged sheepishly, booking back at Nancy.

As she hugged Jamie, the nanogenes began to cloud around both of them, making themselves visible. "Doctor, what's happening?" Rose asked, trying to move toward Nancy and Jamie, but I held her back.

"But they're changing her, we should-"

"Shush," The Doctor said, and turned to the nanogenes, cheering them on while Rose looked at me, wide-eyed. I put a hand on her arm, "They're not changing her, she's changing them, Rose. Like I said, it'll all be ok,"

"She's the mother! It's got to be enough information. Figure it out!" He waved his hands at the nanogenes, his eyes wide.

"What's happening? How is she changing them?"

"See? Recognising the same DNA."

Jamie let go of Nancy and she fell to the ground, the nanogenes dissipating around them. The Doctor ran toward Jamie, Rose and I following him. "Come on! Give me a day like this one!"

The Doctor slowly pulled the gas mask off, revealing a little blonde Jamie, who was very much human. I smiled at him as the Doctor picked him up, grinning widely. "Welcome back! Twenty years till pop music- you're gonna love it!"

Jamie looked around at all of us, smiling widely. "Hi Jamie," I waved, as he looked at me. He waved back and turned back to the Doctor, who was spouting some unintelligible nonsense in his excitement (well, I say unintelligible, it wouldn't have been if he'd spoken at a regular speed).

"What happened?" Nancy stood up, looking at Jamie, smiling.

"The nanogenes recognised the superior information, the parent DNA. They didn't change you because you changed them! Ha-ha!" He placed Jamie down as Nancy knelt down again. "Mother knows best!"

"This gives me weird Tangled vibes," I muttered.

"Doctor, what about the bomb?"

He turned to Rose, "Taken care of it!"

"How?"

"Psychology!"

"What?"

"What he means to say is-" I was rudely interrupted by the bomb flying toward us. However, Jack's Chula ship followed it and a huge light beam formed around it. I closed my eyes, blinded by the beam, and opened them again slowly, only to see Jack sitting on top of the bomb.

"Doctor!"

"Good lad!" He grinned.

"The bomb's already commenced detonation. I've put it in stasis but it won't last long."

"Change of plans. We don't need the bomb anymore. Can you get rid of it, safely as you can?"

Jack nodded to the Doctor and turned to me. "Liza, sooner or later, you're gonna have to admit it to yourself."

I raised my eyebrows, "What are you talking about?"

He shrugged. "You know." He then turned to Rose before I could bombard him with questions Bill Potts style. "And Rose?"

"Yeah?"

"Goodbye."

He got sucked into the light beam. I looked at the Doctor, who was waving his hands around here and there. I snorted and he looked at me, frowning. "What?"

"You look like you're a seven year old pretending to have magical powers," Jack came back at that moment and complimented Rose's t-shirt while the Doctor scowled at me. "I'm trying to fix the problem we have at hand while also saving humanity again. Excuse me if I look like a seven year old while doing it."

"I wasn't saying it was bad, I'm just saying you look hilarious." I shrugged and looked at Jamie, who was staring at us, grinning. I waved to him again as the Doctor walked forward, lifting his hands up.

He held them up for a moment as the nanogenes started gathering around him. "What are you doing?" Rose asked him.

"Software patch, I'm emailing the upgrade."

I closed my eyes and shuddered, "Please don't say upgrade, it's reminding me of the Cybermen. Again."

"What is it with you and your obsession with Cybermen?" He looked back and frowned at me.

I shrugged, "I dunno, I think they're kinda cool. Well, cool in a horrifying way." I threw my hands up at the Doctor's raised eyebrows, "They're good monsters- ugh, it's like your relationship with Bellatrix Lestrange!"

He rolled his eyes, a hint of a smile on his face, and looked at Rose. "Well, since I was gracefully interrupted by Psychic Fangirl-"

"Excuse me?"

"You interrupted me again."

I shrugged. "You called me Psychic!"

"Will you both stop arguing and tell me what the hell the Doctor was supposed to be doing?!"

The Doctor and I looked at Rose, who was glaring at us in a way that was identical to Jackie's glares. He shrugged, "Okay," He turned back to me, "We're finishing this conversation later."

I shrugged as he summoned the nanogenes again. "You want moves, Rose? I'll give you moves!" He spread his hands out, acting like an old wizard (looks like being Space Gandalf might actually work for him). The nanogenes flew across the station, towards the patients, who all fell to the ground when the nanogenes acted on them. Nancy grabbed Jamie's hand and ran toward them.

I walked toward the Doctor, who held his hand out as I approached him. He took mine and looked down at me as the patients started to get up. "Everybody lives," He looked down at me, a soft smile on his face.

I smiled back at him, squeezing his hand. "I told you. Be patient and everything will be okay."

His smile widened as everyone started removing their gas masks. The chatter of people asking questions and wondering what the hell they were doing in a disused railway station resounded across.

"Everybody lives, by the twin suns!" The Doctor shouted excitedly. He turned to Rose in glee, his eyes twinkling. I couldn't help but smile at that. "Just this once, everybody lives!"

He let go of my hand and ran to Doctor Constantine, presumably to explain the situation in the least alien involved way possible. Rose walked forward to stand next to me. "Look at him, the last time I saw him this excited was when he saw his face on a stamp in that stamp museum we visited."

I laughed. "Well, I'm sure he's much happier because of this than that," I shrugged, "But this is the Doctor we're talking about. He thrives on unpredictability."

"Probably why he's such a terrible driver. I swear, every time we travel in the TARDIS, I always keep wondering whether I'll get out in one piece."

"What are you two talking about?" The Doctor came back, half skipping and half trotting.

"About how you need to shut down the nanogenes before they cause any more trouble."

Rose nodded, "Yeah, we don't want my mum to accidentally encounter a gas masked person looking for their mummy because some other random bloke did something stupid and set the nanogenes off again."

I laughed, "Well, I'm fully confident that Jackie would handle the threat much better than we did."

"I'm trying my best to not be offended," The Doctor scowled down at me as he was climbing the ambulance.

"You're not doing a good job, then." I shrugged and turned to Rose, who was grinning.

"Setting this to self-destruct, as soon as everybody's clear." I looked away from the Doctor and Rose to see all the people who were in the station. They were all walking outside, marvelling at the fact that all their previous injuries had healed. I then looked back at the Doctor, who cleared his throat. "Were you listening to what I was saying? Like I said, history says there was an explosion here. Who am I to argue with history?"

"Usually the first in line," Rose smiled up at him.

"Yeah, well, I only argue with rubbish history."

"You mean rubbish history which doesn't involve fixed points, because if fixed points weren't really fixed, I'm assuming you would've prevented the World Wars from happening." He looked at me, frowning, and nodded. "Actually, that would've been a great idea if it weren't for the fact that all six World Wars are fixed points."

I did a double take at that while Rose gasped. "Hang on, six?"

"Yeah, six. But don't worry, you've still got about two thousand years before the next one."

"But it still happens." I murmured, and looked back up at him again. "Why do they happen, wasn't the UN created for the sole purpose of making sure there were no more wars?"

He shrugged, typing something on the ambulance. "The UN will be gone by 2265, you couldn't maintain world peace, especially since humans started conquering other planets. You lot, always looking for conflict, you are."

"Excuse me?"

He pointed at me, "Proves my point."

"Why can't you stop them, I dunno, negotiate a peace treaty or something?"

"Rose, they're fixed points in time, We tamper with them, we get attacked by time bacteria freakazoids that ate the Doctor."

"Everything gets better, Rose. As it always does. Just give it a bit of time." He jumped off and dusted off his hands. "Alright then, I'm done with shutting down the system, meaning it will go off the moment we step out, so it looks like our job here is done."

"It's about time," Rose muttered.


" The nanogenes will clean up the mess and switch themselves off, because I just told them to. Nancy and Jamie will go to Doctor Constantine for help, ditto. All in all, all things considered, fantastic!" The Doctor ran into the TARDIS, a huge grin plastered on his face. He turned and beamed at us. God, he was so happy. And that made me smile.

"Look at you, beaming away like you're Father Christmas!" Rose grinned back at him, her eyes shining as well.

"Who says I'm not, red bicycle when you were twelve?"

"What?"

"And everybody lives, Rose! Everybody lives! I need more days like this."

"But unfortunately, the writers of the show love torturing you," I muttered, walking up the stairs, a bit away from both Rose and the Doctor.

"Doctor-"

"Go on, then, ask me anything!"

"Go rescue Jack." I said, and he turned to face me. "What?"

"Just do it Doc, there's more to him. Also, he's young and stupid now. Kinda like you were when you kidnapped two teachers in a junkyard and got them involved in caveman politics all those years ago."

"Oi, I didn't kidnap them!"

I shrugged, "They'd probably think otherwise, but whatever you say. But seriously, Jack."

He stared at me seriously for a moment. "I'm guessing this is a canonical obligation or whatever."

"That and the fact that he's cool despite the fact that he's an idiot."

He shrugged and nodded, "Well, he is a bit clever, although a bit stupid as well." He fiddled with a few controls, turning a few knobs and flicking a few switches.

We materialised in Jack's ship (the Doctor has surprisingly not held onto the brakes for too long), and opened the doors. Jack was talking to his computer as the Doctor and Rose walked toward each other, the Doctor wrapping his arms around Rose in an attempt to dance as she had convinced him to do so earlier.

I walked down the stairs and leaned against the doorframe. "You know, most people notice when a blue police box materialises in their ship."

He turned around, eyes widened in surprise. "What the hell?"

"Indeed," I grinned as Moonlight Serenade started playing in the TARDIS. "Hurry up, then."

He ran past me into the TARDIS as Rose attempted to teach the Doctor to dance, and was surprisingly successful. I laughed at them as I closed the doors. The console started piloting itself- either the Doctor put Sexy on autopilot or she was just getting annoyed at us and flying us away herself.

"Much bigger on the inside!" Jack gaped at the console.

"You'd better be,"

I frowned, as he was still dancing with Rose. This didn't happen in the episode, the Doctor would get jealous of Jack and actually dance properly.

"So, are you gonna keep staring at the two of them till I ask you to dance?" I jumped and looked up, "Huh? No, not really, I was just thinking."

"About dancing with me?" Jack offered me his hand, grinning playfully. I took it and grinned back at him as he wrapped his other arm around my waist.

"No. Well, yes." He raised an eyebrow and I shrugged. "If stepping on your toes or awkwardly tripping and sending the two of us flying into the console counts as dancing." I grinned at him and he laughed. "Basically, it's been a while."

"It's gonna be fun being friends with you, Liza Cole."

"Friends," I smiled up at him, "I like that."

NeoMulder: I agree on Jack! The actor did a really great job portraying him and the writers did a great job creating him imo.

Haha about Liza, that conversation's probably not gonna happen for a while lol. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter 3
