The Doctor:

"Jace!" I coughed, hearing her on the phone and then it cut out. Stupid human bacteria! "Jaclyn! Come on, Jacey!"

And then her voice came back out of breath, and like she was running. "Still here. Turns out they believe this phone is a bomb. Managed to get free." Thank God. "I don't know what to do, how are we going to get Rose back, Doctor?"

"Just keep calm, love. We'll get her back. She's not supposed to be on this planet and they'll want to keep her alive to see if there are other people like her here. Like you. So you need to come back here and let me deal with this." Except I then had a sneezing fit, followed by a moment of dizziness so bad I had to sit down, or fall down.

"No, you need to stay in bed. Open a video link with my phone. We'll be your eyes and you guide us." That wasn't the worst plan available. So I did so, and she put it in her top pocket, so I could still see it. "How's that?"

I approved. "Good, but you can't walk around with me on speaker. I'm sending something through VIA teleport, risky, but hopefully it'll work." I fumbled with the console, pausing to blow my nose, before sending two little bits of tech through. Earpieces, small enough to hide inside your ear, and it wouldn't mess with my Jace's synaesthesia. "Got them?"

"Got them. Nice and easy, so you're off speaker and we can talk to you." She turned to Phoenix, who was a very familiar race. A race that died in the conflict of the Time War, so how was he here? "Phee, what way is best to get Rose back, where's their base of operations." Oh, she was learning quick.

The blue boy pointed to the edge of the forest and it made sense. Sontarans hated forests, too many places their prime enemy, the Rutans, could hide. "They have taken over the biggest city. Many inhabitants have been either killed or enslaved."

Jace flinched a little. "Well then, I guess it's time to start a revolution." That's my girl.

They kept walking for a while, towards the main town, until they hid under a rock, the sun starting to set. It wouldn't do for them to be caught without anything. But luckily I could charge Jace's phone from the TARDIS, and I got to keep them in a dim light as they slept, Jace having nightmares during the night, but I managed to calm her, telling her stories to get through it.

She was the first to wake up, meaning I had a chat with her about what to do when they eventually got to where they were keeping Rose. Though Phoenix himself woke up in the end and we got moving again.

Well, they were moving, I was sat in the console room nursing a cup of tea and wrapped in a bundle of blankets, but hey. This cold was horrible.

The city itself was small compared to London, but it was more high tech. Hover cars and other things were around, and the buildings were more of an organic composition, meaning if there was an Earthquake, they'd move with it and nothing would collapse. Much smarter than the humans.

"Jacey, theres a hiding spot that should lead to the sewers just below you." She spotted the man hold. "That's it love. Beware of the rats, they are slightly poisonous."

She sighed at that. "Good to know, Doc. Good to know. " And then we were in the dark, being lit up by the light of Rose's old phone, which really needed upgrading. Maybe I should get her a Samsung or a Sony from the future. "Where to now, Doctor?"

"Up ahead. There should be a way into the Prison Camp. I'm picking up Rose's signal from there, she still has some form of tech on her, maybe your little instrument." I explained, thinking of how well she played it already. "Either way, you're heading for a ladder leading to a green grate."

Jace lead the way, tracing her finger lightly over the wall, probably seeing something we couldn't, electrical wires or something. "There's a fuel line right through here. One spark and everywhere this tunnel lead would go up."a

Oh, she was definitely picking up a lot of my skills. Knowing when things would blow up. "So don't touch it then, Jaclyn. Come on, Rose is at risk, and so are you."

She then mimicked me, but got moving. Oh, the joys of raising a teenager who already knows she can live alone. Jace really needed a mother figure, so maybe a visit to Jackie would be good. I was proving to be a push over dad. "Right, Doctor, we are in." Phoenix told me, easily pulling Jace out of the grate after himself. They were an abnormally strong race, Mystiqians. "Which way do we go from here?"

"Don't worry, I can see music. The music from my little gadget. Doctor, any danger in this direction?"

"No, but go careful, Jace." I replied, keeping a close eye on everything ahead. They reached a door, which she opened with my sonic, and they were in a holding cell area, with a very familiar pink and yellow girl.

"Jace!" Rose cried, running the edge. "Jace, what the hell are you doing here, where's the Doctor?!" I told her to put me on speaker, and I filled her in. "Right, well, who's Blue Boy then?"

Phoenix bowed lightly to her. "Phoenix Armatara. I'm a Mystiqan, from the constellation Kasterborous, similar to that of your friend the Doctor. There is a girl here, her name is Amara. Please, do you know where she is?"

Wait. Amara. And his name was Phoenix... Crap, Princess Amara of the Itrans, marries a blue man from a planet lost in the Time War. Phoenix and Amara were the start of a whole new species! We needed to get them out, and fast. This whole area was changeable, in flux. "They took a girl they called Princess to a chamber, could that be her?"

His eyes widened and he set off at a sprint before anyone could realise, and Jace was first to follow after freeing her friend. "Doctor, what can we do to get everyone out and to stop the Sontarans?" Rose asked me, as I teleported a little comms thingie to her as well. "Because they said there name a lot. Glory of the Sontarans, the Sontaran Army, The War between the Sontarans and the Rutans." Well, this planet was going to be in the line of fire in the next few years, it was in the middle of the conflict, but no one died because of the Blue Kings medical knowledge.

"You need to keep that blue boy alive, girls. And get the Princess safe. They're a key part of this planets future, and lives are at stake." They grumbled about how was that all, save the planet now, free the prisoners, stop the Sontarans, and keep those two alive. "Girls, whose idea was it to not wait until I woke up and got better?" I ended up sneezing to prove my point and they sighed.

"Sorry, Doctor."

"Yeah, you'd better be."

They caught up with Phoenix as he was breaking into a computer panel, hotwiring the door mechanism. "Right, we go in, Jace is the smallest so she goes first as she can't be seen." Oh, I was not happy but he was right. "Then she leads us through to where Amara is, and while Rose and I take them out through their weak point at the back of the neck, she unties them."

"I'm good with that. Rose, in future, I'm listening to you and waiting until the Doctor's better." Hallelujah. "Here, let me try with that, I can see how things are connected." She got it open in seconds, her hands moving fast. It was very strange, I felt a little like Alfred from Batman sat here in the TARDIS, guiding them through everything. I probably had the deep voice too, my nose was still bunged up.

Jace luckily followed the plan, and went first, the rest of them going and whacking the two guards in the probic vent as the ties were undone on Amara. Who thanked her before running and hugging Phoenix. Both 16, and they'd be together forever. "Oh, Phee... I know, you told me to get out, but I couldn't leave Mama, she's too frail to run herself."

Rose and Jace were both staring at her. Her skin was the colour of mahogany, with pure silver veins running through it, which were her life blood, as she was a living plant, similar to Jabe. Except these ones weren't as flammable. Her hair, which was a dark jade, was up around her head in a crown, though a lot of it was trying to escape in whispy curls. She was beautiful, with bright emerald eyes.

"Oh, I knew that, Mara. I just hoped that you and her Majesty would be able to escape." He smiled, stroking her hair, taking it out so in fell in tight ringlets around her face, reaching down to her hips. "I'm just so glad that you're safe..." I knew that look, it was just as I had looked at my own wife, how I would still look at her had she not died.

The now four of them tied up the Sontarans, in a way they couldn't break, seeing as they were stupidly strong potatoes, and then started back to the sewers, but Amara stopped at another long line of prison doors. "We can't just leave them. There must be something we can do, surely?"

Forever the time to think of others, I liked her. "We can get them out carefully and take the sewers back to the forest. I hope, anyway. Once there, the city is evacuated and I can set a detonation of the fuel lines. The city will go up, but it''ll give the Sontarans a chance to teleport out before getting barbecued. As well as the fact I can disable their ships weapons."

"But what if the Sontarans don't make it to their ship?" Jace and Amara asked together, and looked away awkwardly. They were similar people, really, when it came to personality.

"They will, trust me. Now hurry up and get everyone out, Princess, Jacey." I told them, and then proceeded to start hacking the pipelines. Except I couldn't trigger the shut off valve that lead to the forest, where everyone would be going, was already going, more than half the prisoners now free. They'd notice soon. "One of you needs to follow the pipes back to the source and turn it off at valve number 9."

Rose spoke up. "I'll do it, Jace, you get back to the TARDIS where its safe. What way, Doctor?"

That was the problem. "There's no map. I don't know where the source is, just that the pipes cover the entire city, leading into the forest. you'd need to be able to follow the pipes back, but they're under 3 inches of concrete, you can't see them or know the direction the fuel is flowing."

"I can see it."

"Jace, not a chance. I need to blow it as soon as possible, you'd be at risk."

She took, the phone and held it so I could see her face, tear tracked still, as well as a little grimy after spending the night in the woods. "You were going to let Rose do it and there's only a few years difference, Doctor."

"There's 5 years and she is faster. you point her in the right direction and she can do it." Her eyes weren't happy, and they also weren't budging. "Jaclyn Monroe, you will do as you are told!"

Jace narrowed her big blue eyes at me. "You're not my dad! No matter how hard you're trying, you will never be my dad and you can't tell me what to do!"

That hit home, it really did. I knew Jace wasn't really my daughter, that I'd just adopted her, but in the few months I'd been looking after her, I'd found myself really wanting to be her dad, but I knew she would never accept me, not after her real dad had been so good to her. I wouldn't change that for her though, it wasn't right. I wouldn't make her call me dad, or be my daughter, just tidy her room, which was immaculate anyway, do the dishes every other night, taking turns with Rose, and do a bit of the laundry.

But her throwing that back in my face in the worst way possible, that hurt. "Fine, then you're going back to Earth and staying with Mickey or Jackie, whichever one will have you!" I didn't mean to say it, it was just something that happened.

Though the words were now said, and I saw the hurt that replaced the anger in her eyes, but she quickly masked the tears. "Then I guess this is my last adventure and I'm damn sure making the most of it!" And with that she started off running, and I told the others to keep getting the prisoners out.

She kept running, stupidly fast, but she eventually found the switches in the sewers, finding the right one for what we needed. I could hear she was crying, but I knew that whatever I said right now was just going to make it worse. I wouldn't send her home, at least not if she didn't want to go. Which she might, now that I'd shouted at her.

But the Sontarans were onto us now, and the alarms were going up top. "Jacey, you need to run, now!" I told her, trying to get my teleport up enough to get her out because the TARDIS had automatically started the detonation in the fuel lines, and she wasn't fast enough. No one would be.

"Jace, take a right, there's a short cut. You need to get there as fast as possible."

The little street girl growled softly. "What do you think I'm trying to do, idiot?! I can't keep going, there's Sontarans ahead. I need to double back on myself."

"No, you can't there are more coming up behind you. There's a ladder to the side of you, climb up and wait there, I've nearly got the teleport working." I told her, typing like mad on the keyboard, the TARDIS working with me for once. She loved her teenage friend. "Jace, get up there, please!"

She listened, luckily, and scrambled up, finding herself in a genetics lab. "OK, you'd better hurry up, I am not being murdered by a potato." Yeah, yeah, everyone said that. But she got bored, and then played with some of the instruments, getting her finger accidentally pricked by something. And then the rest of the system booted up.

"Analysing. Name: Jaclyn Allison Monroe-Smith, age, 14. Planet of Origin, Earth. Analysing species."

It took a while, but the voice had been loud, meaning the Sontarans were on to her. But the teleport worked just as they got through, and Jace grabbed the bit of paper that printed with her genes. And she landed right on my lap, the co ordinates a little off. She didn't fight, was just staring at the card. "Jace? Jacey, what's wrong?"

"Look..." She breathed, pointing to the paper.

Name: Jaclyn Allison Monroe-Smith

Age: 14, born 1991

Planet of Origin: Earth, 20th Century.

Species: Human 43% Time Lord 57%

What?

Oh you had to be kidding me. How was Jace more than half Time Lord? She was human, plain and simple, but how was this registering her as something else? Something that was so dear yet so far from my hearts?

Jace wasn't human, at least not much. And who was her Time Lord parent?

"Jace, tell me your parents names, now."

"Harry Monroe and Lucie Miller."

I did a quick scan. "Harry Monroe only came into your mothers life when you were around 9 months old, Jace. And from this picture... I knew Luce. I definitely knew Lucie." I gulped, but when I looked, she was gone. I just saw her long ash hair running down the corridor. If she was actually my daughter...

There were only two possibilities. Me, or Alex, my great grandson. Who was barely Time Lord.

Heyyy, lemme know what you think of my bomb shell. It'll go more in depth with that as we go, but it will be fully found out in S3, if I get that far. Can I also have a review on what you think of my new cover, that I somehow made? Thank you my lovelies, Izzi xxx
