The Granddaughter and the Clone.
The Clone.
John Evans was half human.
His other half was a Time lord. His double was presently travelling through the time vortex of another reality, same place but different rules.
He had been abandoned here because he had killed an entire Dalek Empire. Who cares if the filthy vermin died ?
John sure as hell didn't.
But, the Doctor, being who he was, couldn't allow it.
Now, here he was.
There was another reason, a good reason and one he approved of one hundred percent. Destroy the dimension cannon and ensure the building of another never happens.
In the last year he had successfully deposed Rose Tyler, the previous head of the Research and Development department in Torchwood. Not that many people had tears in their eyes as he did it, with the help of her " father " Pete Tyler, who when he found that the cannon could destroy the universe helped with her deposition.
Pete had actually been looking for a reason for this for a long time - Rose was sloppy, her methods were crap and her research was half done, resulting in a massive budget and several…incidents of injury.
John was actually enjoying a day off near the Tyler Mansion. Rose had been fired from Torchwood, and was living on a meagre living as a school dinner lady. Pete had promised to keep her on top observation, sending private investigators round to her cramped little flat and following her.
John had told Pete that Rose was probably going to try building another cannon, although that seemed unlikely. Rose didn't have the resources, technical or financial for such a project, but he was still nervous.
John was taking a walk through the gardens when he heard a sound he hadn't expected to hear again.
A TARDIS.
Not his TARDIS, nor any other that he'd heard before. This one was….smoother and more refined. It wasn't like the one he'd heard from the Rani's, or the Monk's. it couldn't be the Master's TARDIS. He was dead, the TARDIS was…unaccounted for.
It wasn't the one he and Serena had used during that assignment near the end of his second life.
So who was it ?
The door opened and a woman stepped out. She was tall, with shoulder length red hair, pale skin and beautiful large green eyes.
His Time lord senses were enough to tell him who this woman was.
He couldn't believe it.
He had tried looking for her when the war was going on but he couldn't find her. There was also no sign of the man she had married.
His voice choked out a name, a name that could break his heart at any time.
" Susan ?"
