Rose approached her small cabin, that was located near Bad Wolf Bay, and ran her hand along the wooden door before unlocking it. She came to this cabin every year around the same time. She had bought it to get away from everyone, and she isolated herself pretty well. She hadn't actually gone to the city for over ten years when she bought it.

"I actually missed this place." Rose said as she dropped her bag on the bed on her way to the kitchen. She looked through the cabinets and around the place. Someone had been here recently and stocked the place. She opened the small fridge and found a note on a cake tray. Rose smiled and read the note.

'We felt bad for giving you a rough week and decided to do something nice. Rebel told us that you were coming down here for a week, and yes we know you can hunt and all that, but this is us saying sorry. Enjoy your week Commander. Come back to us relaxed. ~ The Alpha Squad

P.S. Abby made a banana cake for you.'

Rose set the note on her counter and poured herself a glass of milk to go along with the piece of cake she decided on getting. She pulled out a chair and sat down. Her team really did know what she liked to eat. They all thought she was a little crazy with her weird obsession over bananas, but they didn't meet the guy who gave her that obsession. Rose sighed and thought about the Doctor. She had left him without telling him what happened. Maybe she should go back to talk to him. Rebel had been right. She had plenty of time that she wasted. Rose muttered a few curses under her breath as she walked over to her bag and got out her jumper. At least that's what her team called their vortex manipulators. They could cross dimensions and even take you to the past or future. Sort of like a TARDIS, but using it was a little rough. Rose strapped it on and took a deep breath. She knew the first place she needed to visit. A place she hadn't been to since Canary Wharf. She grabbed her Torchwood jacket and transported herself back home where she would hopefully see The Doctor.

…...

The Doctor was fiddling with some wires under the console when he heard a knock on the TARDIS doors. He stood up and checked the monitor before sprinting to the doors. He pulled the doors open and brought Rose into a bone crushing hug. He could feel her hesitantly bring her arms up around his neck.

"It's really you." He mumbled into her shoulder. He felt her nod and pull away.

"Yeah."

"Rose..."

"Can I uh come in?" She asked as she looked around. It hadn't really changed much since she had gone away. Something she was glad for.

"Of course!" The Doctor led her inside and sat down on the captains chair. "Come on." He grinned and Rose sighed before taking the spot beside him.

"How have you been Doctor?"

"Fine. I'm always fine you know that."

"Liar." Rose mumbled. The Doctor shrugged.

"What about you?"

"Fantastic."

"You're the liar now."

"Where's Donna?" Rose asked as she quickly changed the subject.

"Visiting her family. Maybe you should too." The Doctor said as he glanced at Rose. She shook her head.

"No. It's best if everyone thinks I'm gone."

"Why Rose? Your mum loves you and deserves to know."

"I'm not the person you all knew." Rose glared at her hands in her lap and continued before The Doctor could speak. "I've been through a lot. Do you even know how long it's been?"

"Five years."

"Five hundred and twelve."

"What..." He gaped at her and she laughed bitterly.

"Yep. Time passes a lot quicker there."

"But then...you should..."

"Be dead." Rose finished for him. He nodded slowly. "Well I have died...many many times. Some of my own doing might I add, but I always come back. I mean it's complicated."

"I think we should go to the kitchen and make tea..."

"And take it to the library?" Rose added.

"Yeah." The Doctor stood up and grabbed Rose's hand as they walked in silence to the kitchen. Rose sat down and watched the Doctor busy himself with their drinks. She missed moments like this where he would make them tea before they went to the library to relax after a long day. She looked away from him and stared at the table instead. "You can't die?" He asked once he sat down in front of her. Rose nodded.

"Yeah..."

"What happened?"

"No library?"

"After you explain this."

"Fine. So it was eleven years after Bad Wolf Bay and I had just started working for Torchwood..."

"What!?"

"Anyways...I had my own team and we were sent out on a mission. Well they didn't tell us we were going to show up in the middle of a war." Rose took a deep breath and closed her eyes as a wave of tears threatened to make an appearance. "I tried to save them...but I wasn't strong enough..."

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry Rose." He placed a comforting hand over hers.

"I was running when I felt something sharp rip my back open. I actually died from the wound, but hours later I woke up in the morgue. Everything was healed, and I wasn't human anymore." Rose tapped her fingers against her mug as she felt The Doctor look her over. She stood up and moved to the door. "I really need to get comfortable. I'll be in the library." Rose took off and The Doctor was still trying to process what he had just heard. Rose wasn't human? She couldn't die? What was she? He didn't feel too uncomfortable around her and he should seeing as she can no longer die, but there was something familiar there. He sighed and grabbed his tea before making his way to the library. He found her sitting on the couch gazing at the fireplace. "I'm Gallifreyan."

"What?"

"You heard me." Rose said as she watched him fumble around for something to say. "I was born on Gallifrey, but the Time War happened and I was sent to earth to survive. I don't know how I remained human for so long, but when I died I became a Gallifreyan. Only I don't regenerate like you do when dying. Well I still do but..."

"Wait...you're saying you came from Gallifrey?"

"Yeah."

"Oh this is quite confusing..." The Doctor ran his hand through his hair. "And fascinating. Go on."

"Well when I die, I actually die and then come back to life. I still regenerate sort of...I mean I still look the same, but there are always small changes. Like I might not need glasses one time, but the next I might. Small things."

"So you die, but come back the same person?"

"Yeah. It's like if you and Jack had a kid, that would be me."

"Wait Jack? Rose how...?"

"I'm Bad Wolf Doctor. I'm so many things, and she is in my head. Like a conscious I guess, but anyways, she told me about what I did on the game-station."

"I'm sorry."

"Oh you don't know the half of it yet. I accidentally did something to my newest team." Rose sighed and set her mug down.

"Doctor!" They both looked up to see Donna standing in the doorway gasping for breath. "Aliens!"

…...

I thought we would be safer in her old world, but it seems that once again I was wrong. We had in fact brought the danger here with us. We had brought the end of the world with us when we came to see her beloved, and now I will have to help her out. I'm Bad Wolf, and Rose Tyler is my commander, or I should say she is The Commander.
