A Fellow Scholar: Chapter 7 - Similar
A/N: Last chapter, 'cause I felt the need to end this. I do not own Doctor Who.
This story can go with any Doctor, but mostly the 11th, since I've seen the most of him. Or maybe a future one. You never know with time travellers.
When she doesn't say anything to keep him from being cruel to yet another defeated foe, he realizes something - she's too similar to him.
It explains why he felt like he could relate to her, despite her being the most gaurded of all the previous companions. It explains why he sometimes felt like leaving her alone on some distant planet or in some distant time until she learned to be less... he didn't know what.
So he takes her back to Earth, to the point in time where her life would be least affected by the timey-wimey ball they had created by missing two years of her life. She doesn't want to leave - she's never felt like she's belonged on Earth.
Years later in her time-line, when he has gained a new, less similar companion, he discovers that she has joined Torchwood. He briefly smiles, happy for her and her success - then he carries on.
He's sure Jack enjoys her company.
