The Doctor and The Master were soon clean and, much to The Master's dismay, fully dressed and The Doctor was setting the TARDIS controls for where Martha currently was. "Looks like she's working for Torchwood," The Doctor said "She's in Cardiff."

"Oh great," The Master muttered "Captain Jack Stupid and the dream team." The Doctor raised his eyebrows.

"Be nice. By the way, I'm not going to introduce you as The Master, they'd kill you." The Master leant on the controls The Doctor was not using.

"Who are you going to introduce me as then?" he asked.

"James Masters, my new companion."

"What about our relationship?" The Master asked, smirking. The Doctor bit his lip.

"I'd rather not tell them about us…they will think you're human and I just don't date humans." The Master smirk disappeared and he sighed.

"Unfair that means I can't kiss you whenever I want." The Doctor rolled his eyes.

"I'll make it up to you later," he promised. The Master smiled at him before sliding closer to him and stealing a soft kiss.

"You better." The Doctor smiled, surprised by how gentle the kiss had been and the TARDIS landed. The Doctor quickly stepped away from the Master as soon as he heard the sound of a key entering the TARDIS door. Seconds later Martha Jones was hugging him. "Doctor!" she said breathlessly as The Doctor hugged her back he saw a flash of jealousy cross The Master's face but it was soon replaced with a smirk. The Doctor knew exactly what The Master was thing about and remembering by the look on his face. The Doctor could practically read his mind. Possessive bastard. Martha broke away from him smiling but frowned when she saw The Master. "Where's Donna then?" The Doctor sighed and The Master wanted to put an arm around him to make him feel better but refrained himself. That would give his relationship with the other timelord away.

"I had to wipe her memories of everything to do with me and the TARDIS. The timelord part of her would have killed her if I didn't." Martha pulled him into another hug.

"Oh Doctor. Everyone leaves don't they?" The Doctor smiled slightly.

"Yeah…" Martha pulled away from him again.

"At least you go someone new," she said, smiling at The Master "What's your name then?" The Master remembered his earlier conversation with The Doctor and forced himself to smile at her.

"James. You must be Martha…the girl who called." Martha nodded.

"Yeah, I'm Martha," she said, turning back to The Doctor "I'm guessing you've come to identify that object then?"

"Of course," The Doctor replied with a grin "Lead the way." Martha smiled and led them out of the TARDIS. The Master was unimpressed when he looked around their new surroundings which Martha informed them was the Torchwood Hub. Sure, it's advanced for the 21st century but compared to some of the stuff I've seen and made this is really primitive. Stuff I could build when I was two. After a minute of quick looking he turned his attention back to The Doctor and Martha. Martha was explaining a bit about the object The Doctor was going to identify.

"We don't know much about it but it goes crazy around Jack and Ianto, flashing. It also flashes on the right side when Gwen is holding in a room with Jack. It's really weird." The Doctor nodded and a man that The Master remembered killing walked up to them, carrying what The Master recognised straight away as a Couple Calculator 2160 Type D. They had been popular when he had first joined school, before the Doctor had left his timelord nursery. The Master gave an involuntary gulp as the man passed the machine to Martha. As soon as The Doctor touched that machine they were not going to be able to keep their relationship secret like The Doctor wanted. Martha thanked the man, who she called Ianto. Ianto? Oh yes…Ianto. The knife…a lot of blood. Ianto smiled and left them. Martha held the Couple Calculator 2160 Type D out to The Doctor. "Any ideas?" The Doctor frowned then, after a minute or so, grinned.

"Looks like a HellToys planetary product to me," he said "Most likely one of their crush machines." Martha raised her eyebrows.

"Crush machines?" The Doctor grinned at her disbelieving tone.

"Yep, you hold it and if someone in the room fancies you the left light flashes. If you fancy someone in the room the right light flashes. If you both have feeling for each other both lights flash," The Doctor explained. The Master glared at him. Now what was he going to do? Use him as an example? The Doctor took the machine from Martha, forgetting the consequences of his touch. The machine started flashing on both sides at once. Martha smiled.

"You fancy someone in the room then Doctor? Looks like they fancy you back." The Doctor's grin faded and he put the machine down, biting his lip.

"Erm…yeah, I guess so." Martha's eyes widened.

"There are only three people in the room," she told him. The Master glanced around the room, confirming what she said with a sigh.

"You just can't keep secret around here can you Doctor?" Martha's eyes bulged in her eye sockets.

"Oh my God!" she choked "OH! MY! GOD!" The Doctor drew blood from his lip by biting it too hard. Martha stared at them both for a moment before speaking again. "Wait a minute…Doctor you would never date a human…Never!" The Master glared at her.

"Who said I was human, huh?" The Doctor gave him a warning glance which he ignored and Martha hissed at his tone.

"So what are you then?" she asked "Like it matters. I'm sure you'll end up dying and leaving him alone anyway." The Master snarled.

"It' not exactly like you left him through death is it? No! You left him on his own after my not so precious wife shot me and made him think he was the last of our kind. Thank fuck I survived otherwise he'd be alone now too!" The Doctor grabbed him arm.

"Enough Ma-James" he ordered, correcting himself, but it was too late. Martha glared at The Doctor.

"Call him by his name Doctor. It's all out in the open now! After all he did to my family, the world, Jack, you! That is really sick! Completely and utterly sick!"

"What's sick?" a voice asked from behind The Doctor. Both The Master and The Doctor turned to see who it was. Jack. The Doctor opened his mouth to speak but Martha cut across him.

"The blond guy is The Master," she told Jack, her voice full of venom. Jack had a gun pointed at The Master in a second, The Master swore and The Doctor glared at Jack.

"Put the gun down. Right now," he ordered in a deadly calm voice. Jack dropped the gun, stunned.

"But Doctor-"

"He's The Master, yes, and he is with me as your guest. Show some respect." Jack jaw dropped.

"W-What?" Martha gritted her teeth.

"The Master has somehow managed to brainwash him into thinking they're a couple." The Master rolled his eyes.

"The correct word would be seduced." The Doctor smiled at him slightly and Jack gave The Doctor a disbelieving glance before deciding on what to do, he turned to Martha.

"Get an interrogation room ready for The Doctor and a cell ready for The Master" Martha nodded and disappeared through a door to carry out Jack's order. The Doctor took a step closer to The Master and Jack sighed. "We won't hurt him Doctor. We just need to talk to you privately and I don't trust him to allowed loose in the Hub or Cardiff." The Doctor shook his head and Jack changed tactics. "He needs to be locked up! He's a danger to everyone and everything Doctor! He's evil and you know it!" Jack yelled and The Master grimaced at him before taking a deep breath.

"Look. I'm sorry for everything I did," The Master said quietly "I'm sorry I kept killing you. I'm sorry I killed your team." Jack shook his head.

"Sorry isn't good enough." Jack lunged for The Master who dodged him and glared at the ex Time Agent.

"Jack! Stop it! Please!" The Doctor yelled, Jack ignored him and reached once more for The Master. The Master dodged again.

"You know this situation pretty much sums up Earth. Selfish. The Doctor saves the day all the time from all sorts of creatures and bad guys. He never asks for any payment and when he wants something. Earth tries to take it away, does it Doctor?" The Master said smiling grimly. The Doctor's face became pained. The Master was right. Earth was selfish. Jack froze at his expression.

"Doctor I-"

"I and The Master are leaving now Jack. I won't be returning to Earth in the future, save the planet on your own," The Doctor interrupted coolly taking The Master's hand and half running to the TARDIS with him.

Jack stayed frozen to the spot as they ran to the TARDIS. "I'm sorry," he whispered as the familiar engines started then faded away. Somewhere in his mind Jack felt a link to The Doctor break forever. The Doctor would never help him again. He was alone. Forever…
