Please review! I lately continued watching Doctor Who...well, I tried. But I definitely won't stand through 6x20min of coloured photos and audio talk of the missing episodes. I think I'm just gonna skip these ones.

Chapter 11

"Damn it," The Doctor cursed and started the invisible TARDIS again. Back in the time vortex, he said down at one of the 'couches' on the main platform.

"So that means Gallifrey returns?" Theresa asked and stared at the console in front of her.

"Yes, the Timelords return."

"How did you stop it when the Master had tried the same?"

"I shot his machine, but that's something completely different now. It's a greater power they're using and when Gallifey suddenly disappears in the mid of the Time War, billions of paradoxes are being created and the universe can't control this."

"So what do we do if we can't stop Gallifrey from reappearing right here?" Theresa asked.

"We stop it from disappearing there," the Doctor suddenly shouted and smiled.

"What the hell do you mean?" Theresa asked and tried to stop him when he started the TARDIS.

"We're going to the Time War itself!" he shouted loudly and laughed.

"Now you've lost the last bit of insanity," Theresa muttered and shook her head.

"I doubt he ever was sane," a voice said behind her.

Theresa turned around in surprise. "Who're you?"

"I'm Professor River Song, I'm his wife," she answered.

Theresa couldn't believe it and watched the Doctor being completely focused on the TARDIS. "You're his...wife?"

"Yes, it's a really long story."

"Can you tell me?"

"We don't have the time."

"What if we had?" Theresa asked and started at mind meld with Professor Song. "You're dead," she then muttered.

"The universe has started falling apart. Paradoxes are being created as Gallifrey has already returned. We don't have much time," she explained.

"We have a time machine...alright, that was stupid. I'm still trying to get used to the fact that I'm a Timelord," Theresa said.

"Yes, it's awkward," Song mentioned as a mind meld nearly always sent information into both directions. Now, The Doctor has finally noticed his wife as well.

"Hello, Sweetie. Having problems to break the rules of time and space?" she asked and together with Theresa's help they managed to make the impossible possible: Landing in the middle of the Time War itself.


Special Agent Valentina Riddle was working late tonight – together with her colleagues DiNozzo, McGee and David. "Does someone want coffee?" she finally asked and stood up. She definitely needed a walk. Her friends nodded and she left the building to get some drinks from the nearest Starbucks. She returned with four paper cups hot beverages only ten minutes later and handed each of them one.

She put down her own cup but before she sat down, she noticed a funny golden colour on her right hand. She already thought it was a hallucination when suddenly her other hand started to glow as well. She turned around to her colleagues who stared at her in real disbelief. And before Valentina could say anything, her whole body started to glow brightly in golden and yellow tones as if pure energy was flowing over her skin and through her flesh.


"What is happening?" the nurse screamed at her and stumbled backward.

Then Doctor Valentina Riddle started looking at the ceiling, the golden colours spinning around her seemed to explode and fill the room around her. The door behind the nurse banged open and Torchwood East Coast's chief was standing right there, followed by another man in a dark grey coat who the nurse has never seen before.

"Oh my God," this second man said and his mouth dropped open.

Doctor Riddle, now seeming to burn, started to scream and to shout – all silently, as if some kind of barrier stopped the sound from reaching the other people in the room.

"What is that?" the Torchwood boss asked.

"That's a Timelord's regeneration," the other man answered, more to himself than to his American colleague.


None of her colleagues dared to touch her when she shouted and screamed and her whole body seemed to stand in flames. But suddenly, all of this was gone and Theresa fell down onto the floor.

"Are you alright?" McGarrett asked and tried to get closer to her.

Theresa looked up and her colleagues shrieked back. Her face was reflecting pure brutality and aggressions, her pupils have grown and become complete back. Slowly, she stood up and looked around. "Gallifrey will rise. And you will fall," she said before she dematerialized right in front of them.


"Have they returned?" Rassilon asked The Creator when he entered the lab. It looked exactly as it had been centuries ago, centuries which had only been seconds now.

"Until 'now', whatever the definition of 'now' is, The Warrior and The Soldier have lived in cities of Earth which were called Washington DC, Boston, New York, Malibu, San Francisco, Sacramento, Honolulu and Glasgow. They left in the years 2011 until 2015 – Earth's time. The two who have triggered the resurrection process have returned from a space ship somewhere near the Delta Erani System – from the year 2363, the years of the United Federation of Planets and Starfleet."

"I have asked if they all returned?"

"They did, in fact, except for one," The Creator admitted. "The Soldier from San Francisco, 2014, is missing."

"Why is that so?"

"Well, she isn't there anymore. I couldn't spot her on Earth of this time."

"Then search the memories of the others. I don't want any risks," Rassilon barked and left the lab again. The Creator nodded and turned back at the 15 women standing there. The amount of time they had needed to split them up, he needed now to make them two beings again. And when this was done, he hoped that they would be incinerated and not be used for the Timelord's dirty work again.
