AN: Well, guys…here comes The Master again, he just can't stay away, can he? Well…s'all good in the second one! I can't wait to write my sequel :D

/

About half an hour later, The Master strolled in again with a fainted irritated look on his face- he was either still annoyed from earlier, or something else had made him angry.
"Didn't expect you back so soon," The Doctor remarked carefully.
"Hey, if you're irritated with someone and you leave the room….aren't you meant to stay away for more than…thirty two minutes and twenty seven seconds?"
"Ordinarily, yes… However, I am curious, and I'm sure your memories are much more settled by now. You see, I want to know why the pair of you didn't age."
"And why would we tell you that?" Owen retorted, grinning.
"Because…If you do, then I will take you both to visit the freak," The Master announced, smirking.
"Don't call him that," Ianto repeated his earlier words.
"Why would you wanna do that?" the elder brother questioned, raising his eyebrows.

The Doctor watched The Master warily, interested to know what his response would be…because he was sure there would be some hidden agenda, an ulterior motive.
"Yes, why?" he agreed, knowing it wouldn't be 'out of the goodness of his hearts.'
"Because I wish to see how they react to the freak, and how he reacts to the fact that they are Timelords," The Master explained with a smirk.
"Ah, and there it is! I knew there would be something behind it," The Doctor stated, shaking his head in disapproval and annoyance.
"What do you reckon, dad?" the elder brother questioned, raising his eyebrows.
"You may as well…if you don't tell him; he'll probably just invade your minds, or mine, at a later date. Technically…it's safer this way for all three of us. Plus…this way you get to see Jack," The Doctor mused.

"I agree," the youngest Timelord agreed, shooting The Master a glare "No way in hell are you coming near my mind!"
"If I wanted to, you would be powerless to stop me," The eldest Timelord announced simply.
"Well, there won't be any need for it, will there? 'Cause we're gonna share the wonderful tale. After all, there's no harm in telling you, since we'll be having the conversation with dad at some point anyway," the elder brother concluded, shrugging. Ianto nodded, and glanced at his brother. "Right. So, I don't know about you but…I'm not certain about everything."
"Me neither man," Owen acknowledged, nodding.

"Why don't you just tell us what you know?" The Doctor suggested kindly.
"Okay, so,…we were turned human, and that guy…I don't know his name, but the one who claimed he was psychic…Yeah, he was in charge of turning us human, fabricating all the crap and ensuring we were safely taken to Earth; blah blah, you know the deal- 'cause dad was doing war stuff," the younger brother begun.
"Yeah, anyway- so just before he turned us human… he was acting weird. He was muttering about all kind of rubbish; things about the war and things about 'four.' Ooh, that rhymes. Hm, yeah, and I swear he was rambling about not aging and loads of other stuff," the other young Timelord pitched in, frowning thoughtfully.
"He did…" Ianto agreed, looking a bit confused "Actually, I think he made the TARDIS build up a hologram, for when we woke up…"
"Why would he have felt the need for that? Surely you wouldn't have woken up on the TARDIS?" The Master questioned, raising his eyebrows in interest.
"That would've been dangerous! Tell me he didn't," The Doctor insisted.
"Yes. It was. I mean, he did…But I dunno. I think I might know what happened; or at least…I have an idea," The youngest Timelord decided, glancing at his brother and raising his eyebrows, who nodded.
"Me too," Owen paused and nodded again "I think he put us in timed stasis."

"Yes!" Ianto agreed suddenly "Hence the hologram, delusion thingy he set up. Timed stasis; both of us timed to wake at different times so it all made sense. Somewhere around six decades for both of us…which probably means…he left us on Earth, sixty years before what we know as present day!"
"Exactly. Which means I, well, my human form at least, probably woke up five or six years ago, which was one or two years prior to my first meeting Jack. And you, probably woke up…three or four years ago, and again, one of two years prior to you first meeting Jack. And of course, we've always looked a couple of years younger than our actual age-"
"-And I was twenty two before we were turned human, and you were twenty four, so it would all add up," the younger brother finished, nodding again.

The two eldest Timelord's shared a frown, before pretending it hadn't happened.
"Okay, that's pretty clever…but why? Why would this 'psychic guy' have done that?" The Master questioned, just throwing it out there.
"What was the point? What did it achieve?" The Doctor agreed thoughtfully.
"Ummm…" Ianto shook his head and glanced at his brother quizzically, as for a hand.
"He didn't leave the fob watches with our human forms, he gave them to you, dad," Owen mused quietly, looking around the room as if hoping for inspiration.
"He did and that alone was very weird…but at the time, I was too wrapped up in other things to question it," The Doctor mused softly.
"You mentioned he was psychic," The Master pressed simply.
"Yes…" the elder brother agreed slowly, as if understanding was gradually dawning on him. The other young Timelord turned to look at him thoughtfully.
"Maybe, yes," he acknowledged.

"Plausible, to say the least," Owen decided simply.
"Definitely."
"Um, what? What are you actually talking about?" Their father questioned, sounding rather confused and a little irritated- because he didn't like being confused.
"Think about it! His actions were weird- it was almost as if he was trying to ensure that we had the opportunity to become Timelord's again," Ianto announced, speaking rather quickly.
"And the whole 'four' thing. Do a little count, guys- there's four of us. He was psychic, right? Well, what if he knew that the Time War was going to happen, and what if he knew what the outcome would be?" Owen continued, sounding excited.
"And if he knew that only four Timelord's would survive, and who those four were- us."
"That's possible…very, very…If you look at it- it all adds up. He knew!" The Doctor cried excitedly; his son's nodding in eager agreement.
"I think, perhaps, that the three of you should calm down- before I hurt you," The eldest Timelord warned, narrowing his eyes at their over-excitable behaviour. Honestly, what were they? Children?

"Don't you mean 'before you hurt yourselves?'" Owen laughed, knowing full well, that The Master had actually meant what he'd said- it was a threat, not a verbalisation of concern. Ianto grinned, before glancing at his father "What happened to him? The psychic guy?"
"He died…just like everyone else, of course. He used a teleport device to come back- something else I neglected to question- and handed me the watches, and was killed soon after," The Doctor explained, shaking his head sadly.
"You do know what this means, yes? There's another TARDIS out there… A dead TARDIS," The Master pointed out, sounding a bit saddened.
"Yes, in Cardiff," Owen agreed solemnly. The younger brother sighed quietly and shook his head. The Doctor gritted his teeth, dragging a hand through his hair "Master- they told us what they knew, as you asked," he pointed out.
"Yes, I know," The Master agreed, rolling his eyes "I told them I'd take them to see their beloved freak and I will," he acknowledged, calling two guards in. "Take them out of the chains and handcuff them," he ordered, before smirking at the three other Timelords.
"I don't trust any of you."
"We really don't expect you to," The Doctor announced, shooting him a grin.
"You'd be stupid If you did," the elder brother commented, smiling fondly.
"And we all know that you're far from stupid…" Ianto pitched in simply.
