A/N: Final chapter of this story. I really enjoyed writing it and I hope you liked reading it. I want to thank all the amazing reviews I got and everyone who's been following the mystery. Tell me in the reviews what you think! See you next time ;)

Amy and Clara followed her parents to a separated area of the parking lot, where her father's TARDIS was disguised as a car. They got in and the TARDIS dematerialized.

Clara sat on the floor, her back against another car. She didn't look upset, just utterly stunned. Of all the crazy theories she could have possibly thought of, her father being an alien -not only an alien, a Time Lord- was the one she had least expected to be true.

Amy sat with her in silence. She didn't like that Clara wasn't saying anything, but she thought that it would be better to be supportive and wait for her to take in the news.

"What am I?" Clara asked, her eyes still focused on the floor. Amy looked at her, surprised to hear her voice again and Clara turned as well. "If my dad's a Time Lord, what does that make me?"

"I can't be sure without some scans. We can go back to the TARDIS and find out. If you want to, of course." Amy was careful so she wouldn't say the wrong thing at the wrong time.

Clara nodded and they walked back, none of them speaking through the way.

"This is very interesting; not to say impossible...I'd never seen anything like this before." Clara gave her a confused look from the stretcher she was laying on. "You seem to be perfectly human anatomically, but there's a definitely Time Lord element to your brain. It appears to be hidden, though; it's like someone really didn't want you to know you're half Time Lord. You can't access any of those memories, can you?" Clara shook her head. "Don't worry, they might come back slowly, now that you know. Whoever blocked your mind wasn't counting on a very good looking Time Lady crash-landing by your flat." She said the last sentence in a seductive voice, leaning closer to her.

"What happens if I get hurt? Will I regenerate like you?" Clara asked, ignoring Amy's advance.

"It's difficult to say...I'm not sure how your body would react to that. Even if you can regenerate, your human body might not be able to take so much energy and collapse." She was only trying to be realistic; as much as she wanted to spend the rest of her life with Clara, she had to admit the possibility that it might not happen. "I guess I'll just make sure you don't get hurt in the first place." She added with a smile.

Clara wrapped her arms around Amy's neck and kissed her, thanking her for caring so much. When she broke the kiss for air, she noticed how tired she was. "Let's go to bed, get some sleep."

Once Clara fell asleep, the Time Lady untangled herself from the mess of limbs and bedclothes and walked to the library. She wanted to do some research on Clara's father; now she knew for a fact he was a Time Lord, she had some ideas on where to look for information. Mostly, she wanted to know what had forced him to leave Ellie and her daughter on Earth. She refused to believe that he would simply drop them back on their planet just because she got pregnant, as it was strange enough the fact that it had happened in the first place. If she had carried his daughter, he must have definitely loved her.

Another matter going through her mind was that blocked part of Clara's mind. She probably had lots of memories about her first years locked in there, along with the awareness of her half-human condition. She didn't want to tell Clara at the infirmary, but she was almost certain that the barrier had been placed there by her father, most likely to protect her. The question was, to protect her from what?

Her TARDIS dug through the High Council's database, looking for any trace of him. She found an exile order with his name, very similar to the one she had, except the Keeper's one was based on his marriage to a female of the human species. The file mentioned a later call for him to appear before the High Council for reasons that weren't specified. She found a lot of similar calls to other high-rank Time Lords, but she couldn't find why they were required. She started to worry as names passed by; more and more Time Lord summoned to Gallifrey at the same time without explanation, it just wasn't right.

She decided to do the only thing she thought could help, and maybe provide some answers for Clara. She tracked down his TARDIS and found the exact date he left his wife and daughter on Earth and followed the signal, hoping to reach him before Clara woke up.

After the quietest landing she had ever performed, Amy opened the door and sneaked out, grabbing her black bowler hat from the clothes rack next to it on her way out. She parked a block away from Clara's house to try and hide her ship from the other Time Lord. She hid behind a fence, observing Clara's father coming out of the house and heading towards the back yard, followed by his wife and a little girl that was about six years old.

"I just don't understand why you have to go. They forbade you to go back in the first place!"

"I know, love. And you're right, I should ignore them, but I can't. If they are calling everyone back, even the renegades and the fugitives, that means our world and the entire Universe is in great danger. I can't let anything bad happen to you or Clara." He had stopped walking and turned to look at Ellie, the tears becoming too many to keep them in her eyes. He hugged her, doing his best to comfort her.

"I just don't want you to get hurt", she said in-between sobs. Little Clara hugged her mum as well. Ellie looked up at him. "Promise me you'll come back to us."

He didn't want to make any promises he wasn't sure he could keep. He caressed her face and kissed her softly. "I promise I'll always love you and protect you, and I'll do my best to come back."

"What should I tell her?" Ellie asked, knowing what he meant by that answer.

For an answer, he kneeled to be at Clara's high and placed his hands on her face. "You take care of your mum, alright? You study, you help..." He fought the tears gathering in his eyes. "And you be a good girl, Clara. I'm very proud of you, and I love you with all my hearts." He smiled and looked up at Ellie. "Both of you." Focusing back on Clara, he closed his eyes, a tear falling as he hid away the memories of him, his past and her Time Lord abilities. "Nothing is ever forgotten, Clara. Not completely", he whispered before kissing her forehead.

He stood up, not facing his wife. "Tell her that I left. That I had to. Tell her anything you want, just make sure she knows I love her. And, above all, make sure she knows I love you." The last sentence was more to her than to Clara, so he said it looking into her eyes. He kissed her for the last time, saying through the kiss everything he couldn't.

The Keeper didn't look back as he walked towards his TARDIS, disguised as a tool shed. But before he could get it, a ginger woman called him.

"Who are you?", he asked. "If they sent you to tell me to hurry, tell them I'm only saying goodbye to my family. I've believe I'm allowed to at least do that." He was upset, and he knew she was a Time Lady.

"I'm not here to speak for the High Council, Keeper. I have to talk to you about your daughter."

He grabbed Amy by the arm and pushed her inside his TARDIS. "I can't believe you crossed half the Universe just to find my daughter. If you ever even get close to her, I swear-" He was shouting, and Amy felt glad that he really did care about her that much.

"Don't worry, sir. I promise, I never tried to find your daughter. As a matter of fact, she found me." He gave her a confused look. "My name's Amy. I'm a Time Lady, but I was also exiled from Gallifrey, even before I met Clara." She quickly explained how Clara became her companion, smoothly telling him that they were also a couple. He wanted to ask so many questions about his daughter and his wife, but he knew Amy couldn't really say anything. She was relieved that she wouldn't have to break the news about Ellie's death. "Sir, the reason I came here is to ask why are you leaving. I know you blocked Clara's memories of being half-Time Lord, and I just need to know why."

"So you don't know yet? It must still be in your future...", he said dubiously, knowing it could be dangerous to tell her.

"What is?" Amy needed to know, and she would find out eventually. She also would get her call, and maybe it was her chance to run away to a hidden corner of the Universe with Clara, so she wouldn't have to abandon her.

"A war. The biggest war this Universe has ever seen."

The Keeper refused to give her any further information on the war, and Amy couldn't find anything in the TARDIS' library even though she had her full concentration on it. It was as if it had been purposely hidden from her.

She was sitting at the console room, staring at the blue glow and thinking about all this when Clara's lips on hers brought her back.

"You need to start staying at the same place when you can't sleep. I've spent half an hour looking for you", Clara said with a smile.

"Clara, I really need to tell you something", Amy started to say, but was interrupted by the TARDIS' doors opening and a glowing cube entering the room. The Time Lady caught it and stared at it, very shocked to see it.

"What's that?" Clara asked as Amy plugged in to the console.

"A communicating device, used by Time Lords to send distress calls." The message was displayed on the screen in Gallifreyan writing.

"A war?" Clara asked, missing the fact that she was reading non-translated alien writing.

"Clara, listen, I talked to your father. He left you and your mum because he was called by the High Council to fight in a war. A big war, something that could change the course of the whole Universe. Now they are calling me." She looked down, realising what her next move should be. "I have to leave you behind."

Unexpectedly, Clara slapped Amy. Not hard, but she definitely felt it. "Don't say that. I can ignore that you investigated my life and chose not to tell me, but I can't let you leave me. You promised me you wouldn't, remember? They are calling all the Time Lords, saying it's very important that you all cooperate, right? I'm half Time Lord, doesn't that count?" She was surprisingly calmed, a lot more than Amy, who looked quite desperate.

"Clara, we don't know how your body works. What if you get hurt and you die? What do I do if you're dying in my arms and I can't do anything to stop it? I'd have to live without you."

"But we knew that was a possibility since day one. If you leave me and go, what happens to me? I get to live a normal human life without you or I get a Time Lord's lifespan, giving me thousands of years to still live without you. I don't like any of those scenarios. I'd rather go with you and take my chances or take you with me and run away."

"I have to go. I can't turn my back on them."

"Then I'm coming with you. It's together or not at all."

Amy kissed Clara deeply, knowing she was right. She set the coordinates to Gallifrey and flew her TARDIS into the war. Once they arrived, the Time Lady and her companion stood side-by-side at the doors, without opening them. Amy took Clara's hand and looked down at her. "Together", she said before opening the door.
