Jenny's P.O.V.
Dad and John came back last night about a half hour after Lestrade had dropped me off. When I asked dad what happened to Jessica last night and where she went he just ignored me on his computer. As John put me to bed I asked him the same question he he brushed me off too. I sighed as I snuggled into dad's blankets and closed my eyes to go to sleep.
"Oh my Rassilon, Aivilo, you need help." Reccab said laughing. I was sitting outside in the courtyard with my friends Reccab, Aivilo, and Torie. We were waiting for Ethanial and Rulana to get out of their future history class. To pass the time we started to tell jokes.
"Ok, I've got one. You must be from Skaro, cause you're DALEK-table." Reccab wiggled her eyebrows as we laughed.
"I can beat that, this one's from earth." I smirked, "How did the burglar get into the house? In-tru-da window." They all laughed because it was their first time hearing it. Suddenly there was a deep voice right next to my ear. "Hey."
"Oh Rassilon!" I screamed as I jumped up. I heard a bunch of laughing coming behind me coming from my friends. I turned to see that Rullana and Ethanial had joined them.
"That wasn't funny, Rullana." I went up to him and hit him on the arm.
"Yeah it was." He laughed.
"Whatever, we need to get going." I marched off in the direction of the dining hall.
"Oh come on Sen, don't be like that. I'm sorry" Rullana ran up besides me and put his arm on my shoulders.
"Oh go away, Ru." I pushed him off of me.
"My name is Rullana, not Ru. I'm not Cyr's boyfriend." He looked annoyed but that's what he gets for scaring me. "Are we even now?"
"I guess." I smiled up at him as the rest of the group caught up to us. When we got to the dining hall, there was a long line for the freeze dried pills. That was the only food we had now, the high council decided that it far healthier for us than actual food. It was one of the reasons that Rullana and I took Universal Communications so we could go to different planets and get real food.
"You know the old earth rule," Rullana started when we got to the end of the line, "lady's first." He gestured us to go first.
"Why thank you, you're such a gentleman." I did a little curtsey as I walked past him with Reccab and Aivoli.
Jessica's P.O.V.
I sat on a blue blanket with picnic food around me. I looked around at the silver leafed trees as I put my feet on the red grass. I smiled as I heard laughing and turned my head towards the hill where Rullana, Vani and Zen came running over.
"Hey Sen." Rullana dropped down next to me and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"Mummy!" Zen, my 62 year old son jumped onto my lap and hugged me. My 67 year old daughter, Vani, jumped onto Rullana's. We were so happy as we ate together as a family.
"I love you Rullana, you guys too." I hugged my family with a smile on my face. Zen looked up at me with the cutest little look on his face.
"Is that why you left us to die?" He asked tilting his head to the side.
"What Zen?" I asked looking down in shock.
"That day when the school was attacked, you left us. You didn't even try to help. You can save people with your 'powers', but you didn't save us. We were in so much pain mama, and you left us." She said in an innocent little voice.
"No, I tried everything," I said standing up, "There was nothing I could do. They had to pry you from my arms. I never forgave myself. I was only one room away, if I could've just gotten to you faster. I didn't know how to save people then." I kneeled in front of Vani.
"I never believed you about that, especially after you left me to die too, you never cared." Rullana's usual smile was gone and it was replaced with a blank face.
"I didn't leave you to die, I-I-I…"
"You did, that dalek shot me and you ran off to kill the rest of the planet, literally killing the only thing stopping the daleks from taking over the universe. How's that working out for you?" They were all standing with the same blank stare. The picnic was gone and the suns disappeared behind dark storm clouds. A violent wind whipped my red hair around my face.
"I didn't leave any of you willingly. Rullana, I stayed by your side for hours before I could even move again. You literally pried Vani and Zen away from me, don't you ever say that I never cared." I had to yell over the wind. I was so focused on my family that I didn't notice people slowly starting to appearing around us.
"But you did, and you killed much more, just look." His hollow gaze flickered to the crowd around us. There were billions upon billions of people surrounding us, some of them I recognized as my students or the people I went to school with while others were some of dad's companions or people I met on my travels.
"These are all the people whose deaths you caused." Rullana's voice had become monotone.
"That's not true." I said more to myself. There were a lot of children out there, a lot I remembered. I saw close friends and family standing with the crowd.
"You don't deserve to be happy mummy, you don't deserved to die-" Zen yelled.
"Dying would be too easy, you need to feel what we felt when you abandoned us." Vani finished his sentence.
"Your right, dying would be too easy, and I don't deserve to be happy." I whispered to myself as people started dropping to the ground. You cried as people that meant a lot to you fell. Rullana, Vani, and Zen were the last ones to fall before I was alone in a sea of dead bodies.
I gasped for air as I shot up. Pain ran all over my body as I was blinded by the white sick bay. It took me a moment to notice the frantic beeping coming from a machine near my right. Dad suddenly ran into the room.
"Oh, you're awake." He said in surprise. He turned off the beeping and the room had a soft hum.
"Yeah, wh-what happened?" I painfully laid back down.
"You don't remember?" He said as he fixed some wires and tubes that were connected to me.
"No, not really. I was with Jack in Jamaica and then we were on a pirate ship, I honestly don't really remember it." He looked up at me.
"Okay, well, we're going to take care of that."
Jenny's P.O.V.
Jessica was missing for another week before I saw her again. I was walking out of school when I saw her standing on the curb near a cab. I ran over to her and wrapped my arms around her legs. I heard a sharp intake of breath and I immediately released her. I took a step back and took a look at her. She was wearing a long sleeve button down shirt, long pants, and a jacket. Even though she had on long sleeves, there were bandages peaking out near the bottom of her sleeves and around her collar. She had little cuts on her face along with yellowish bruises.
"Jessica, what happened?" I asked as I studied her face more.
"Let's just say that I got in a fight with a couple of bad guys." She smiled down at me. "Come on." She put her arm around me and lead me to the cab. She was walking slower than normal, she probably also hurt her legs. I opened the door and slide into the cab and waited for her to get in. It took her a minute but finally she got in, wincing as she did.
We went to the police station because that's where dad said to meet him. I jumped out and ran into the building while Jessica paid the cabbie. I ran up the stairs like I always did, and when I got to the top Jessica was waiting for me there because she took the elevator.
"Jessica, you're back!" Lestrade was coming out of his office when he noticed us walking to her desk.
"Hey Gre-" She was cut off by him hugging her. I saw her physically wince but she made no noise this time.
"Where the hell were you? What happened?" He asked as he pulled out of the hug and noticed all of her injuries.
"She got in a fight with some bad guys." I spoke up for Jessica.
"Yeah, and I was with a doctor for the last little bit, trying to get better." She hand her hand on her stomach like she was holding it in pain.
"Well you certainly look better than you did last week." Lestrade added giving her a little pat on the shoulder.
"Yeah, last week. Uhh, I wasn't really coherent then." She laughed. From the corner of my eye, I saw dad and John walking towards us. He looked at Jessica in confusion which she noticed.
"Can I help you Sherlock?"
"That bruise on your left cheek was fresh last week in your apartment, but now it's looked like it's healed at least 3 weeks." He used his hand to point at the bruises on her face.
"Well I guess my doctor is really good." She smiled as she handed me off to dad. "Speaking of which I have an appointment with him now, if you guys need me I'll be done within an hour." Jessica waved goodbye as she slowly limped to the elevator. I grabbed dad's gloved hand while he talked to Lestrade.
Jessica P.O.V.
I decided that I wasn't going to get a cab, so I walked to my flat. The pain medication that dad had given me had started wearing off, and he said that he would drop off some more soon. The most painful thing was climbing up the stairs. When I finally got to the top of the stairs which seemed to take centuries I heard shuffling in my flat.
"Doctor, put that down! You're such a child sometimes." I heard my mum say on the other side of the door. I took a deep breath and walked into my flat.
"Jessica, there you are, and you say that I'm always late." He laughed as he hugged me softly.
"Hey dad." He let me go and went to get something out of mum's bag.
"Hey mum." I gave her a small hug.
"Hey Jess." She smiled at me.
"There we go, Jessie." He stood up and spun around towards us. "I found these in the Tardis sick bay. Since you don't want to be in the stasis chamber anymore, you need to take these for the next few months. There was a lot of damage to some of your nerves under your left shoulder, where that nerve cluster is; this has been basically growing them back. So be really careful, you don't have complete control over your body yet. Are you sure that you don't want to spend another week or two in the stasis chamber?" He looked down at me in concern.
"Yeah, I'm sure. When I'm asleep longer than 72 hours, I get weird dreams." I laughed it off. He still didn't look completely convinced, but he handed me the bottle and pulled me into a hug.
"Call me if you need anything, alright?" He said quietly.
"I always do, I love you dad." He kissed my forehead and let go of me.
"Okay be careful, I love you too." He said as mum came over to me.
"Be a good girl and don't do anything that I would do." We laughed as I hugged her.
"Alright mum, I love you and I'll see you soon."
"I love you too, I'll see you later." She kissed my cheek and grabbed dad's hand. They walked out and I closed the door behind them. I collapsed on to the couch in exhaustion, it was going to be a long few months.
