Marta stood aside watching as Martha tenderly laid the little girl down on the bed in the medi-bay. Blood was running down the little girl's hand and her leg was cut up as well. Comparing the child's legs, Martha could see that the left one was slightly swollen with a bruise forming. She needed to x-ray the little girl's leg to be sure, but she wasn't going to be surprised if she found the leg was fractured. The main problem now was she didn't know what medication she could give the child. Being that they were from another universe, the medication's could be different and she could inadvertently kill the child she was trying to help.
"Are you a veterinarian as well?" Marta asked the woman who looked similar to her. She agreed that they looked slightly alike but more like sisters then anything else. Martha's nose was more bulbous then hers and she didn't have quite as large lips.
"No, I am a doctor," Martha answered. She set the TARDIS equipment to scan the little girl's leg as she turned to look at Marta. Unknowingly she agreed with Marta's assessment. She didn't think Marta looked exactly like her either. She was sure Marta's nose was bigger then hers and surely Marta's lips were fuller.
"Daddy," the little girl moaned, opening her eyes. She looked around afraid at the inside of the room. The room was bright and there was a lot of things she didn't recognize. She tried to move as Martha came over to her.
"Easy now, I need you to stay still so I can take pictures of your leg." Martha cooed kindly. The little girl didn't understand her though and she tried to get away from Martha. "Go get Jack. Hopefully he can understand her." Martha said. Marta nodded and hurried out of the medi-bay and back to the control room. In the control room she stopped though. The men who had arrived after them were standing closer to the Master. One of the men was down on his knees getting sick, while the other tried to comfort him. The Master was staring down at the two of them with pity in his eyes.
"Martha is asking that Jack joins us in the medi-bay," Marta informed them, not sure which one was Jack.
"I'll be right there," The man with blue eyes, who was comforting the one being sick, responded. Marta smiled and turned to head back to the medi-bay.

The Doctor kept replaying the Master's words over and over in his head. He didn't believe it, there had been nothing he could do to save his own people. He had tried. Rassilon had he tried. Everything had failed in the end. The only way to stop his people from destroying the universe was to trap them in the moment. Yet here he was in a parallel universe and he could feel other Time Lords at the edge of his mind.
"It's not possible," He repeated again. He stood, knocking Jack's hand off of his back so that he could look the Master in the eyes. "Rassilon wouldn't listen to reason. He planned on destroying the entire universe and having the Time Lords rise to just thoughts. I had to use the moment to save the rest of the universe and destroy my people."
"Rassilan may not have wanted to listen but Omega was willing to listen. He stopped Rassilan from destroying the rest of the universe and we used the moment to lock the Dalkes away forever." The Master stated.
"If this is a parallel universe Doc," Jack reminded him softly. He still didn't know for sure this was a parallel universe, but he had seen and heard enough to believe it was. "There are things that are going to be different."
"I know that Jack," The Doctor hissed.
"Then remember it. You couldn't save your people in the other universe, just like I couldn't save my brother. Just because their is a parallel universe where someone listened to reason, doesn't make your actions wrong." Jack scolded him softly and the Master nodded his agreement.
"Go tend to the child," The Doctor told Jack as he straightened up. He wanted to talk to this Master and find out what happened to the village. He also wanted to find out as much as possible about the Doctor in this universe and whether or not their had been any prophecies regarding his death. Because maybe, just maybe, this Master could save his life.

Jack entered the medi-bay to find the little girl crying and trying to get away from Martha. Her leg was slightly bruised and Jack winced in sympathy as her approached the bed. Upon seeing him the little girl reached out to him with wide frightened eyes.
"Daddy, help me," She cried out. Jack stopped for a moment. The little girl thought he was her father. He was going to have to find her real father and he considered for a moment whether or not he should lie to her.
"Calm down little on," He cooed in the language she was speaking. "Martha needs to look at your leg. After we will go and find your daddy, I promise."
"Daddy, stop playing," She whined as she continued to reach out to him.
"I am sorry. I look like your daddy but my name is Jack. What's your name?" He asked sitting down next to her on the bed. She grabbed onto him as she eyes Martha wearily.
"Emma Harkness," She answered and Jack closed his eyes for a moment. He had always loved the name Emma, had even named his oldest daughter Emma. His Emma though had died before the age of two from whooping cough.
"That is a pretty name. Now I know your leg hurts Emma and Martha here is going to make it feel better. Can you be a brave little girl and let her check it for you?" Jack asked Emma. She continued to hold his shirt as she nodded. "Go ahead Martha," Jack told her in English.
"I need to x-ray her leg, so you are going to have to move." Martha informed him as she reset the scanner to x-ray the little girl's leg.
"The x-ray won't hurt me and it will keep her calmer if I stay." Jack answered back. He moved slightly so he wasn't blocking the child's leg and then settled back to wait while Martha ran the scans. Martha shook her head but then stepped out of the room to start the scans. She could continue to argue Jack, but the longer she argued him, the longer the child remained in pain. Jack was right and the x-ray wouldn't hurt him, so she could let it go just this once.
