Clara was still on the medical bench, with a cushion under her head and covered to her chin with a blanket. Underneath the blanket, she was still holding tightly to the leaf.
And the Doctor made sure she still did.
He swore that if Clara had another panic attack, he would release her of all the memories of her echoes. It was too much for her to handle, apart from being the perfect time to erase the exposed memories. They were all sitting down around Clara. Madame Vastra had just brought the Doctor a cup of tea.
He didn't even touch it.
He kept looking at the peaceful face of his companion.
Because he knew, it was anything but.
Her stats were becoming more alarming. Tears began slithering down her eyes.
The Doctor placed his fingers on her temples, just near the electrodes.
"It has to work."
He concentrated, and he gradually felt Clara tense down.
"That's it Clara. It's fine. Come on you can do it."
The readings on the monitor decreased dramatically.
"Now she can rest well." The Time Lord said as he smoothed her hair. Now she was better, and he felt better, too.
"How much before she wakes up again, Doctor?" Asked Jenny.
"Days, maybe a week or more. Her brain is too tired. All the energy absorbed..."
"Did the mind wipe work?"
"Only time will tell. Some of them might have been repressed and might return, some could've been swiped, and some could've just stayed, because they're as stubborn as she is." He breathed a sad laugh.
"You need rest Doctor. We'll look after her. We'll see that she's taken good care of and put her to bed."
"Thank you... But I'll stay here, in case anything goes wrong."
"You can't stay like this forever, Doctor. She wouldn't want that."
"But she's under my care, I'm responsible for her. And if the mind swipe didn't work completely? What if she becomes much worse than before?"
"I understand Doctor." Madame Vastra said as she looked towards her wife, which was nodding her head in accordance. "Until you feel tired... We will stay."
