All 5 entered the TARDIS and the Doctor pulled the lever as he sped to the infirmary.
Everyone except Jenny went after the Doctor.
"I'll prepare the things for Miss. Clara, Ma' am."
The Doctor laid her on the cold metal bench.
He scanned her with the sonic as the monitors lit up.
Dead unconscious.
Clara was absolutely still, except from an occasional small breath. He rushed to the cupboard to get out 2 small patches and 2 long wire like structures. He attached a wire to each patch and screwed it tight. Then, the Doctor screwed each to the monitor.
"I'm sorry Clara." He said as he lightly smoothed her head before pressing them to her temples. Clara winced at the surge of pain, before calming down.
The readings on the monitor were not good.
It was even out of range. The Doctor tapped a few buttons to get a larger scale, a new wave each second.
"His mind is in complete overload, Sir."
"It's more than the human mind can handle, Doctor. So how is she still alive?" Said Madame Vastra as she walked near the Doctor.
"She's impossible." Said the Doctor. "But she can't handle it for long, Vastra. It's too much. I'm going to lose her again, after I found her. I'll lose her." He kneeled near Clara and smoothed her forehead.
Clara groaned, and turned to look at the Doctor.
"Hello Chin Boy."
She breathed.
"My Impossible Girl." And he kissed her forehead.
"Why are you crying, Doctor?" She shakingly touched his wet cheek with the back of her hand. She looked around her. Her head still throbbed greatly, but she could see Strax with his controller, checking her stats himself, and Jenn and Madame Vastra. Clara looked back at the Doctor.
A thought passed through her head;
"They all think I'm going to die, aren't they?"
The Doctor shakingly held her hand between his.
"And I know you're going to live."
"How?"
"I never know why." He took the Leaf from the table just near them.
"I only know who." And slipped it under her other hand on her stomach. She held it tight.
Her eyes teared up as she felt herself drift off into sleep. But she tried her best to fight it. She was too scared of dying amongst all her echoes, and becoming just an echo herself.
"You're Clara Oswald. My Impossible Girl. You blew into this world on a leaf. The Leaf defines you, Clara. You're unique, not even your echoes can copy who you are. But one thing I learned from knowing them is they never give up." He smiled.
"And that they are as stubborn as you." She breathed a laugh.
"Thus is why you can fight it Clara. And I will be here, every step of the way. I will try my best, I will guide you. We will all take care of you. Bit you have to fight my Impossible Girl, as you fought to make a good soufflé, because you never manage to do a good one."
"They were all too beautiful to live." Clara croaked.
"Hold on my Clara. Sleep tight."
"I'm scared Doctor." She cried as tears fell down to her ears as Clara began reliving her different lives. Her breath became shorter and the monitor began showing dangerous levels. She shut her eyes in pain, picturing herself being wound by the Time Winds in the Time Stream, picturing herself surrounded by her echoes...
Falling...
Falling
Falling...
"Clara, concentrate solely on my voice. Picture it. Follow it out of your mind..."
The voice she followed in the timestream
"Clara, remember the Leaf. Hold it tight. Remember your life. Remember your mother and father. Ellie and Dave. Remember your book. Remember when we travelled together the first time to the Rings of Akhaten. Remember the Ice Warrior on the Submarine and the ghost in the Mansion. It's you you have to remember Clara."
"And I promise you... It's going to be fine." He smoothed her hair as she calmed down, looking at the stars above her.
She smiled. "Thank you my Chin Boy."
And closed her eyes.
