AN: This is where we catch up with Group One, from Scholar II's POV. She's the one from What Scholar Did To The Sontarans, and she's quite dark. She's having a bit of trouble not killing or castrating Jack.

Ch 4: Dealing With Jack

There was an annoying ape from the 51st century that would not leave me alone, and I was forced to work with him. The later version of myself knows him, and barely tolerates him, judging by her tone as she spoke about him. I will slug him, though, if he keeps flirting with me. That's the problem with 51st century guys-they don't even stop flirting when they're asleep.

The most recent regeneration of myself sent me off with some versions of the Doctor and his ape friends, searching the planets of alien hostiles for clues to where they had gone. As we searched Sontar for where a great portion of their army had gone, I finally was forced to take drastic measures with the annoying ape.

"Listen, you stupid ape, if you don't shut up and focus on the task at hand, I'll take my trusty katanas here and remove what I assume is your favorite part of your anatomy. Or I could go the more sadistic route, considering I have the tools for it."

He looked vaguely flustered, but persevered and said, "You know, you're like a prettier, more violent version of the Doctor. You even say 'stupid ape' like he does, too. Are you sure you won't consider dinner sometime?"

I had finally had enough. With a low growl, I grabbed him by the wrist and flipped him. He ended up a couple yards away, winded and chastened. I scowled at him, "That was a warning. You can go flirt with anyone else, but don't flirt with me. I don't go for apes."

The Doctor that had Jack and a bleached-blonde human was watching the spectacle with silent amusement. He called to his female companion, "Rose, I've never seen Jack get shot down with such vehemence. Rose, let's go talk to the girl. She reminds me of someone I knew long ago."

The ape and the Ninth version of the Doctor strode over to walk beside me. Nine said, "What's your name? You remind me of a friend I had once- Romana, her name was. In her second incarnation, she was a lot like you. This is Rose-don't hold the fact that she's an ape against her; she can't help it."

I replied shortly, "I'm not going to give out my name in front of an ape, but you can call me Scholar. Romana was my mother. She's told me about you, but even by what she said I hadn't realized how fond you were of even the most annoying humans, like that asshole currently struggling to breathe over there."

He replied, "I didn't know Romana had a kid! I can't blame you for not liking Jack, but he's like a fungus; he grows on you. I think the others have gotten news from Group Three, so let's go see."

According to what One had heard from Scholar IV, we need to rendezvous at the Medusa Cascade, where the Alliance might have set up base. Anything to get away from idiots like the dickhead in the WWII coat.

AN: Scholar II is really not dealing well in a group with Jack. Let's see what's at the Medusa Cascade in the next chapter.
