From Renegade to Doctor
A.U: Gallifrey was never destroyed and the Time Lords won the Time War, but the War Doctor didn't regenerate at the end of the War, he instead ran from his own people, out of shame for his actions. Still forsaking the Doctor, he runs into a human girl in a shop basement.
Chapter 1: Self Exile and Rose
The Renegade looked down at the Moment. The box had taken the form of one of his oldest friends, Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. The Moment had told him of a way to end the war without burning his own people.
"Shift Gallifrey into a pocket Universe for the span of two minutes, Doctor." Said the Moment, "No more have to die."
The Renegade had followed the orders to the stop, after two minutes of watching the Daleks destroying themselves, Gallifrey returned to its original position. The Renegade felt three War TARDISes approaching him. He quickly rushed to his TARDIS's Console and started pulling levers and smashing buttons, The TARDIS started dematerialising and entered the Time Vortex.
Safe from the other Time Lords, the people he had tried to burn, The Renegade waited for the sharp burning pain of regeneration. But it never came, The Renegade simply stood there waiting the sensation but felt nothing.
It was then The Renegade realised that he wasn't going to regenerate, he had to remain in this incarnation until his body wore out or he was grievously wounded.
The Renegade growled and slammed his fist against the console, when he heard a beeping sound, looking at it, he noticed that a Time Agent was going to prevent JFK's assassination.
"Well, if I'm going to continue with this body then I might as well put it to some use." Said The Renegade, looking down at the screen.

The Renegade looked down a corridor, it'd been 900 years since he had started following his old ways, he had ran into the Corsair a couple hundred years back, The Corsair had told him that the Time Lord wished to bring the Doctor in for desertion.
"Why desertion?" Asked the Renegade.
"The coward never took part in the War, he ran off and hid while the rest of us fought and died for his mess." Said the Corsair. The Renegade later snuck back to Gallifrey and visited Rassilon.
"Apparently The Doctor is wanted for cowardice." Said The Renegade, looking at both Borusa and Rassilon.
"Unlike us, they didn't know you were part of the war, Doctor." Said Rassilon, looking at him.
"And yet, they wish to hunt someone down, who'd most likely be dead." Said The Renegade, looking at the two.
"You're marriage bond with Romana remained intact, if anything, she's the one who wants you dead the most." Said Borusa, the knowledge hurt the Renegade, but he accepted it.
The Renegade left Gallifrey and now he was here, in the basement of a department store by the name of Henrik's. Saving a young girl from being killed by Autons. He grabbed her hand.
"Run." Said the Renegade, pulling the girl to a nearby lift.
The Autons chased them, one stuck its arm into the lift the Renegade and the girl were in, after a few tugs its arm came off.
"You pulled his arm off." Exclaimed the girl.
"Yes, it's made of plastic." Said the Renegade, tossing the arm to her.
"Very clever, nice trick." Said the Girl, looking at him, "Who were they then students? Is this a student thing or what?"
"Why, in the name of Rassilon would they be students?" Asked the Renegade, looking at the girl confused.
"I dunno." Said the girl, stupidly.
"Well, little one, you are the one who said it, not me, why would they be students?" Asked the Renegade, looking back at the girl.
"Well, to have that many people dress up and being silly, they have to be students." Said the girl.
The Renegade stopped and thought, "That make exemplary sense, congratulations." Said the Renegade, smile despite himself.
"Thanks." Said the girl.
"They are not students." Said the Renegade.
"Yeah, well whoever they are, when Wilson finds them, he's gonna call the police." Said the girl.
"And, pray tell, who is this Wilson?" Asked the Renegade, looking back at the girl, reaching inside his leather jacket for his Sonic Screwdriver.
"Chief Electrician." Said the girl.
"Oh, Wilson is currently dead." Said the Renegade, walking out of the lift.
"That's not funny, that's sick!" Exclaimed the girl, following him out.
"Mind your eyes, little one." Said the Renegade, pulling the collar of the Sonic down, making the Diode to shine red and destroy the lift panel.
"Who're you, then? Who're that lot downstairs?" Asked the girl, following him, "I said who're they?"
"Those creatures on the lower floors are called Autons and they are creatures of living plastic, which is controlled by a relay device on the roof of this building." Said the Renegade, "Which would usually be a problem if I did not have this," He held up a small bomb, "So I am going to go up there and blow it up, and I might end up dying in the process."
The girl opened her mouth, "But do not worry about me, child, you go home and forget any of this ever happened. Now, remember, if you tell anyone about this you will most certainly get them killed."
The Renegade suddenly stopped and he opened the door, "I am the Doctor, if it is any consolation, what is your name?" Said the Renegade.
"Rose." Said the girl, looking at him.
"A pleasure to meet you Rose, now, run for your life." Instructed the Renegade, closing the door. Before going up the stairs he wondered why he introduced himself as the Doctor.
Brushing it aside, he ran up the stairs and placed the bomb on top of the relay device and set it for five minutes. He then rushed down the stairs and headed for the TARDIS, just as the building exploded.
"Perhaps, I am the Doctor again?" mused the Renegade, looking after where Rose had gone.
And for the first time in over 900 years, The Doctor smiled.
