Ch 17

Born in Flames

Jack, Martha, Mickey, Sarah Jane and Donna looked at the Doctor with the gun in his arms. Davros turned around and saw the Doctor standing there. "You can't kill me Doctor, you don't kill. You always want to save everyone, but you couldn't save her" He said pointing to Rose's body. "You won't kill me" he said again and laughed.

Jack looked the companions and they followed him to the Dalek's main console. Jack pressed his hand to his ear "Luke, do you copy"

"Yes" the boy answered.

"I'm going to send you some schematics; can you find a way to reverse the effects?"

"I'll try, is my Mum all right?"

"Yes, she is" Sarah Jane answered. "Luke I'm so proud of you"

"I know" he replied and got to work. He came back seconds later. "Got it" he told them. "You see the four levers on the side?" he asks.

"Yes" they all reply

"You need to pull them up at the same time, that will cause a internalized synchronous back feed reversal. So it's very important you do it at the exact same time"

Martha looked at all of them, "All right, let's end this" The companions each go to a lever. They look at each other and pull up.

One by one the Daleks start exploding. Until Davros is the only one left. Jack grins at Sarah Jane. "That's quite a boy you got there"

Sarah Jane smiles in return.

Donna ran over to the Doctor and he looks at her. There's just one now, just Davros. Could he kill one to save the many? "I'll give you one chance" he says to Davros.

"Never" He says holding his hand up getting ready to shoot. Donna looks into his eyes and places her hand over his. Just like Pompeii they press down together. Davros goes up in flames.

The gun drops and clatters to the floor. He stands there staring as the flames start to die out. He walks over to Rose, but is stopped short when he hears the familiar whooshing sound of the Tardis. How did the Tardis get here? He asks himself, he didn't call for it. But here it was materializing right on top of Rose or rather she was disappearing into it. "Rose" he called out "What are you doing?" he asked his ship.

They all cover their eyes has a blinding gold light of the Time Vortex covers the Tardis. The Doctor tries to peak through his eyes but the light is too bright. Just as fast it came the light disappears and the Tardis stands there silent. They slowly open their eyes and stare at it. The Doctor moves towards it and both doors swing open in the doorway stands Rose.

The Doctor looks at her and she looks at him. A huge smile spreads across both their faces. They run to each other, holding one another in a tight embrace. "Rose" he whispers in her ear. "Doctor" She says in his.

He pulls away slightly still holding on to her. "I thought I lost you" She smiles at him. "I don't understand I took the Time Vortex out of you" he says to her.

"You did, well part of it anyway" She replies and looks behind her at the Tardis. "When we saw the whole of Time and Space, we saw this happening. I didn't remember because you did take that part out. But the Tardis didn't forget, so it left some of it in. Because Bad Wolf was still needed"

"You were needed to lead me here" he finishes

"I was needed to lead us all here" Rose says. "Bad Wolf said the Time War ends only we didn't mean then. You know how it is with time, it never runs in a straight line" she says smiling.

"I do" he says smiling back.

"Now it's over" she says strongly.

"And…is it gone too?" He asks

"Yes, I'm just me again…just"

He pulls her close once again and looks into her eyes. "Rose Tyler" he says with a smile. She looks at him and nods. "I love you" and he brings his lips to hers.

They were all standing in the Tardis now, every single one of the people that helped save the universe, multiple universes. He looked down at his hand that was holding on to Rose's; he looked up and smiled at her. "This Reverse Parachute beam, what is it?" the Doctor asks.

Alan turned around from admiring the ship "Well, Wilf was telling us about his days a paratrooper for the National Service and he told us about an operation that he went on In WWII" Alan began "We picked up a transmission from Davros' ship, he was talking about how he had all the humans and to begin the testing"

"So he didn't know about us" Maria piped in as she ran in with Luke after they had run around the ship, amazed at how big it was.

"A full on airborne attack was out of the question" Ianto told them mesmerized by the tubes of light going up and down in the middle console.

"But those tin heads would never expect an airborne rescue" Wilf said with a smile.

"So we went to work building a devise that would work the opposite of a parachute, instead of bringing people down it would encase the people in a force field and bring them up to one of the medical ships that arrived from the Alt-Universe." Sally and Larry finished excitedly.

"It was simple really" Luke started up. "Alt-Torchwood ships are controlled by three primary main processing cores cross linked with a melacortz and fourteen kiloquad interface modules. We hooked the core element up to Mr. Smith's nanoprocessor units and he arranged them into twenty-five bilateral kelicals with twenty of those units being slaved to the central mainfram terminal. .."

"The isopalavial interface controls the main firomactral drive unit. So all we had to figure out is…" The Doctor started talking with Luke now.

"That the a kiloquad capacity is a function of the square root of the intermix ratio times the sum of the plasma injector quotient" The Doctor finished for him. "Brilliant!" He smiled.

"That's my son" Sarah Jane smiled proudly. The Doctor beamed at her.

"Did any of you get a word that?" Donna asked them. They all started laughing, and then they got down to introducing themselves to each other. The Doctor smiled he didn't think that he's ever had this many people in his ship before and the Tardis seemed to love it as well.

"Oi, don't touch that!" the Doctor tells a blonde ten year old boy. Who just looks up at him and smiles.

"Tony Tyler, you will listen to the Doctor" Jackie says walking over to her son.

He shakes his head and laughs. He was just like his sister. He looks over at two other children trying to teach Donna how to speak Martian. Mickey Smith a father, he thinks to himself. Then he looks to Martha and Martha that were looking each other over.

"Told you, now you know how I felt" Mickey says to his wife from across the room. Jackie was asking him what happened on the Dalek ship.

"YOU DIED!" Jackie's screamed at the top of her lungs, while dragging Tony over to Rose. Rose looked at Mickey who just avoided eye contact with her and was pretending a spot on the floor was very interesting.

"I did, but I'm still here" Rose said trying to reassure her mother. "But you still died" Jackie repeated. Rose pulled her mother into a hug. "But I'm still here, not dead"

"Yea, she's a zombie now" Tony says.

Jackie looked horrified.

"Not helping" Rose said to her brother and ran her hand through his hair messing it up. "He's joking, Mum; I'm not a zombie either. I'm Rose the same Rose I've always been"

"And that's a good thing?" Tony says smiling. Rose stares at her brother and he stares back daring her to make a move.

"Siblings, what can you do with them" Martha walks up to Rose. Rose nods her head in agreement. "I've got a brother and a sister" Martha tells her. "I can see why he missed you so much"

"I didn't want him to be alone" Rose says "And I'm happy to see that he found someone like you and Donna" She said as they looked over at Donna gazing at Jack. They laughed and went to join them.

Tbc…
