Hiya guys, Well that's been a week since the last update, so you'll likely get the Doctor Dances today as well, but right now it's The Empty Child, well not right at the beginning, but it will be.
5 months later...
The Doctor and Rose were sitting in the Tardis garden, neither saying a word, they didn't need to, all they needed was to sit together, but the Doctor had another idea, he'd been trying for weeks, but every single time he'd tried to propose, something got in the way, but not this time though, he was going to propose in the relative safety of the Tardis.
"Rose?"
"Yeah?" she asked, wondering what had her Time Lord so nervous.
"You know I love you, right?"
"Yeah. Where's this going?"
"Marry me?"
Rose was completely speechless, she hadn't expected that, but she knew what she was going to say. She smiled at him "Yes!" she answered and lauched herself into her stunned Time Lord's arms...When she finally let him go, the Doctor reached into the pocket of his leather jacket and took out a ring box and handed it to her.
Rose opened the box with trembling fingers and smiled, the ring was beautiful, although, it looked really old. The stone was nothing like any she had ever seen before, but the ring itself was made from Earth gold. "What's the stone?" she asked.
The Doctor grinned. "It's from Gallifrey, it's similar to the Earth's diamonds, it was really rare back home, but now, I guess it's even rarer." He took the ring from the box and slipped it on to her left ring finger, then he kissed her.
(I'll leave the rest of the night to your imaginations cause, I've given into temptation, I'm going to do the Empty Child and the Doctor Dances now)
The next morning, the Doctor was woken by a series of beeps and he got out of bed, with out disturbing his fiancée, got dressed and then he went to the control room and saw that the alert was mauve, so he got the Tardis to wake Rose, who came running "What's the emergency?" Rose asked as she entered the control room.
"It's mauve." replied the Doctor
"Mauve?" asked Rose.
"Universally recognised colour for danger."
"What happened to red?"
"That's just humans." the Doctor told her, grinning "By everyone else's standards, red's camp." he paused "Oh, the misunderstanding. All those red alerts, all that dancing" he looked at the screen which showed the thing that was causing the alert, "It's got a very basic flight computer, I've hacked in, slaved the Tardis. Wherever it goes, we go."
"Is that safe?" Rose asked
"Totally." the Doctor said. The console then sparked "Okay, resonably." he said "I should have said 'reasonably' there." The thing on the screen started to get away from the Tardis "No. No!" shouted the Doctor "It's jumping time tracks, getting away from us."
"What exactly is this thing?" Rose asked
"No idea."
"Then why are we chasing it?" Rose asked
"It's mauve and dangerous and about 30 seconds from the centre of London." Rose looked scared at that thought and the Doctor took her hand and squeezed it gently.
--
The Tardis landed with a bump knocking it's two inhabitants to the floor, they landed in a tangled heap, the Doctor got up first and held out his hand and helped Rose to her feet, he then pulled her closer and said "You alright?" he asked concerned. Rose nodded and then he kissed her. When they broke the kiss, they exited the Tardis hand in hand. "Know how long you can knock around space without happening to bump into the Earth?"
"Five days." Rose answered "Or is that when we're out of milk?" she asked in a teasing tone
"Of all the species in all the universe and it has to come out of a cow." the Doctor said "Must have come down somewhere quite close. Within a mile anyway." the couple walked away from the Tardis as he spoke. "And it can't have been more than a few weeks ago. Maybe a month."
"A month?" asked Rose "We were right behind it."
"It was jumping time tracks all over the place. We're bound to be a little bit out. Do you want to drive?"
"Yeah. How much is a little?"
"A bit."
"Is that exactly a bit?"
"Ish"
They continued walking side by side "What's the plan, then?" Rose asked "Are you going to do a scan for alien tech or something?"
"Rose, love, it hit the middle of London with a very big bang." the Doctor answered "I'm going to ask." He took out the psychic paper and held it up so that she could see it. "' Doctor John Smith, Ministry of Asteroids.'" she read.
"It's psychic paper, it tells you..."
"Whatever you want it to, I remember."
"Sorry."
"Door, music, people. What do you think?" he asked
"I think you should do a scan for alien tech, it'll be quicker."
"You sure about that T-shirt?" he asked, finally noticing what she was wearing
"Too early to say." she answered "I'm taking it out for a spin."
Rose heard a child calling for his mummy; she started to walk towards the voice. The Doctor had managed to opened the door with the sonic screwdriver. "Come on if you're coming. It won't take a minute." He went inside and Rose continued to look for the child
She saw a little boy, he couldn't have been more than 5 years old standing on a roof "Doctor, there's a kid up there!" she shouted and then she went to help the child.
--
Rose climbed up to as close as she could get to where the child was. Rose grabbed a rope and began to climb it. Suddenly her feet were no longer touching the wall, in fact she was moving away from the child. 'oh, this is just fantastic' she thought and then she screamed "Doctor!" Rose shouted twice, but he wasn't even down below, 'Where is he?' she then noticed what was going on 'oh that's not good' "Okay. Maybe bit this T-shirt."
--
The Doctor ran out into the alley again, Rose was nowhere to be seen "Rose?" he shouted, but he received no reply. He was walking back towards the Tardis to see if she had gone back there, when he heard a cat meow. He picked it up and said "You know, one day, just one day, maybe, she'll understand the whole 'don't wander off' thing. 900 years of phone box travel, it's the only thing left to surprise me." The telephone on the Tardis began to ring, the Doctor put the cat down and walked towards it. He opened up the place where the phone was "How can you be ringing?" he asked "What's that about ringing? What am I supposed to do with a ringing phone?"
"Don't answer it, it's not for you."
"And how do you know that?"
"Cause I do. And I'm telling you. Don't answer it."
"Well, if you know so much, tell me this, how can it be ringing? It's not even a real phone, it's not connected, it's not..." the Doctor turned around midsentence to find that the girl was gone. The phone continued to ring, so the Doctor answered it. "Hello?" he said "This is the Doctor speaking. How may I help you?"
"Mummy?" asked a small childish voice. "Mummy?"
"Who is this?" asked the Doctor "Who's speaking?"
"Are you my mummy?"
"Who is this?"
"Mummy?"
"How did you ring it? This isn't a real phone, it's not wired up to..." the Doctor hung up the phone and shouted "Rose? Rose love, are you in there?"
--
Rose was hanging from the barrage balloon high over London, she was terrified, just when everything was great in her life she was facing certain death again. She was floating over the Thames. Suddenly she fell, she plummeted towards the ground, but she was caught in mid air by some sort of beam.
"Okay, I got you."
"Who's got me?" Rose asked "Who's got me and how?"
"I'm just programming your decent pattern. Stay as still as you can and keep your hands and feet inside the light field."
"Decent pattern?"
"And can you switch off your cell phone?" he asked "No seriously, it interferes with my instruments."
"No one ever believes that." she said as she took out her mobile and switched it off.
"Thank you, that's much better."
"Yeah, that's a real load off, that is." Rose said sarcastically "I'm hanging in the sky in the middle of a German air raid with a union jack across my chest, but, hey, my mobile phone's off" and put her phone away, wondering where the hell the Doctor was.
"Be with you in a moment."
After a few moments, the voice spoke again "Ready for you, hold tight."
"To what?" Rose asked
"Fair point."
Suddenly Rose started to fall again, although this time, however, she was falling at an angle and was still inside the beam, she landed in a space ship in some guy's arms. "I got you." he said "You're fine, you're just fine. The tractor beam, it can scramble your head just a little."
Rose was still a little disorientated "Hello" she said
"Hello." he replied
"Hello." Rose said again "Sorry that was hello twice there."
"Dull but thorough." replied the man. "Are you alright?"
"Fine." The man put her down "Why, you expecting me to faint or something?"
"You look a little dizzy."
"What about you?" Rose asked "You're not even in focus."
Rose collapsed and the man put her into the bed that was beside him and let her sleep it off.
--
The Doctor was beyond worried, he'd searched everywhere for Rose, but he couldn't find her, he knew that she hadn't gone back to the Tardis, cause he'd just been there not that long ago, if he'd been anywhere near the Tardis he would have tried her mobile phone, so he did the next best thing, he followed Nancy into the house that she'd entered.
A short time later all the local runaways and homeless children entered the house, one or two of them at a time, three at the very most. He sat down at the table and ate with the children, the most important thing for him to do was find his fiancée, he took some meat as it was passed around the table, when he spoke all the kids jumped, Nancy reassured them that he was supposed to be there too.
"Why'd you follow me?" Nancy asked "What do you want?"
"I want to know how a phone that isn't a phone get's a phone call. You seem to be the one to ask."
"I did you a favour." Nancy said "I told you not to answer the phone that's all I'm telling you."
"Great, thanks." said the Doctor, now knowing that there was something going on in 1940's London, which was probably caused by that bit of space junk that they had followed and that Rose was now probably right in the middle of it which reminded him of the other reason that he'd followed her "And I want to find a blonde in a union jack. I mean, a specific one, I didn't just wake up this morning with a craving. Anybody seen a girl like that?"
Nancy took his plate and said "No blondes, no flags. Anything else you want before you leave?"
"There is actually. Thanks for asking. Something I've been looking for. Would've fallen from the sky a month ago, but not a bomb. Not the usual kind anyway. Wouldn't have exploded." he explained "Probably would have buried itself in the ground somewhere. And it would have looked something like this" he held up a drawing of the object that he had followed through time and space
--
Nancy locked the door and the Doctor came out into the hall "What's this then?" he asked "Never easy being the only child left out in the cold, you know"
"I suppose you'd know."
"I do actually, yes."
"It's not exactly a child"
"Mummy."
Nancy ran back to the children and told them to get out.
"Mummy. Mummy." said the child "Please let me in mummy."
"You alright?"
Nancy threw something at the door and the child retracted its hand. "You mustn't let him touch you."
"What happens if he touches me?"
"He makes you like him."
"And what's he like?"
"I've got to go."
"Nancy?" asked the Doctor "What's he like?"
"He's empty." she said simply. The phone rang "It's him. He can make phones ring. He can. Just like with that police box you saw."
The Doctor picked up the phone and heard "Are you my mummy?" Nancy hung the phone back up and lively music began to play in the living room. The Doctor and Nancy went to investigate
"Mummy? Mummy? Please let me in mummy."
"You stay here if you want to." Nancy said and ran off
"Mummy. Mummy. Mummy..."
The Doctor walked towards the door "Please let me in."
"Your mummy isn't here." the Doctor said
"Are you my mummy?"
"No mummies here." the Doctor said "Nobody here but us chickens." he looked around him "Well. This chicken."
"I'm scared" said the child. The Doctor stopped grinning "Why are those other children frightened of you?"
"Please let me in, Mummy. I'm scared of the bombs."
"Okay." said the Doctor "I'm opening the door now." he opened the door and there was no one there. He walked out on to the street and saw that it was deserted.
--
Rose woke up and got off the bed
"Better now?" asked the man.
"You got lights in here?" the lights came on and the man said "Hello."
"Hello."
"Hello." the man said with a grin on his face.
"Let's not start that again."
"Okay"
"So, who are you supposed to be, then?" Rose asked
"Captain Jack Harkness, 133 Squadron, Royal Air Force" he took out a wallet "American volunteer." he handed the wallet to Rose
"Liar" she said when she looked at it "This is psychic paper. It tells me whatever you want it to tell me."
"How do you know?" Jack asked
"Two things. One I have a friend that uses this all the time and you just handed me a piece of paper telling me you're single and you work out."
"Tricky thing psychic paper."
"Yeah. Can't let your mind wander when you're handing it over." she thought of her relationship with Mickey, wanting to keep the one she had with the Doctor a secret until she learned whether she could trust Captain Jack or not.
"You sort of have a boyfriend called Mickey Smith but you consider yourself footloose and fancy free."
"What?"
"Actually the word you use is 'available'."
"No way."
"And another one, 'very'."
"Shall we try and get along without the psychic paper?"
"That would be better wouldn't it?"
"Nice space ship." Rose said, looking around, this thing wasn't a patch on the Tardis, but then again the Tardis was far more than a space ship, it was home.
"Gets me around."
"Very...Spock."
"Who?"
"Guessing you're not a local boy then?"
"A cell phone, a liquid crystal watch and fabrics that won't be around for at least another two decades. Guessing you're not a local girl."
"Guessing right." Rose reached out to touch a part of the ship. "Ouch."
"Burn your hands on the rope?"
"Yeah."
Rose looked outside. "We're parked in midair. Can't anyone down there see us?"
"No." Jack answered "Can I have a look at your hands for a moment?"
"Why?"
"Please."
Jack examined her hands whilst trying to tell her that she was a time agent and then he fixed her hand using nanogenes.
"Shall we get down to business?"
"Business?"
"Shall we have a drink on the balcony?" he pulled a lever and the roof came down "Bring up the glasses." Jack said as he exited. Rose followed a few minutes later
"I know I'm standing on something." Jack made the ship visible "Okay. You have an invisible space ship."
"Yeah."
"Tethered up to Big Ben for some reason."
"First rule of active camouflage Park somewhere you'll remember."
--
The Doctor found Nancy storing food "How'd you follow me?"
"I'm good at following, me. I've got the nose for it."
"People can't usually follow me if I don't want them to."
"My nose has special powers."
"Yeah? Is that why it's so..."
"What?"
"Nothing."
"What?" the Doctor tried again
"Nothing." Nancy said "Your ears have special powers too?"
"What are you trying to say?"
"Good night mister."
"Nancy. There's something chasing you and the other kids. It looks like a boy and it isn't a boy. And it stared about a month ago." he said "Right? The thing I'm looking for. The thing that fell from the sky. That's when it landed." he paused "You know what I'm talking about, don't you?"
"There was a bomb." Nancy said "A bomb that wasn't a bomb. Fell the other end of Limehouse Green Station."
"Take me there."
"No. Soldiers guarding it. Barbed wire. You'd never get through."
"Try me."
"You sure you want to know what's going on in there?"
"I really want to know." said the Doctor.
"Then there's someone you need to talk to first."
"And who might that be?"
"The Doctor."
--
"It's getting a bit late" said Rose "I should really be getting back."
"We're discussing business." said Jack.
"This isn't business," said Rose "this is champagne."
"I try never to discuss business with a clear head." He got up "Are you travelling alone? Are you authorised to negotiate?"
"What would we be negotiating?"
"I have something for the Time Agency. Something they'd like to buy. Are you empowered to make payment?"
"Well, I should talk to my companion."
"Your companion?"
"I should really be getting back to him."
"Him?"
"Do you have the time?" Rose asked, wanting to keep her fiancé out of this conversation.
Jack lit up Big Ben. "Okay. That was flash. That was on the flash side."
"So, when you say your companion...just how disappointed should I be?"
"Okay, so we're standing on midair."
"Uhuh."
"...on a space ship, during a German air raid. Do you really think now's a good time to be coming on to me?"
"Perhaps not." he walked away and turned around "Do you like Glenn Miller?" he turned on music without waiting for her answer and they began to dance. "It's 1941. The height of the London Blitz. The height of the German bombing campaign. And something else has fallen on London. A fully equipped Chula warship. The last one in existence armed to the teeth. And I know where it is because I parked it." he told her "If the agency can name the right price, I can get it for you. But in two hours...a German bomb is going to fall on it and destroy it forever." they stopped moving "That's your deadline. That's the deal. Now shall we discuss payment?"
"You know what I think?"
"What?"
"I think you were talking just there."
"Two hours. The bomb falls. There'll be nothing left but dust and a crater."
"Promises, promises."
"Are you listening to any of this?"
"You used to be a Time Agent, now you're some sort of freelancer."
"It's a little harsh. I like to think of myself as a criminal."
"I'll bet you do."
"So this companion of yours, does he handle the business?"
"Well I delegate a lot of that yeah."
"Maybe we should go find him."
"And how are you going to do that?"
"Easy, I'll do a scan for alien tech."
--
The Doctor took out a pair of binoculars and looked through them at the place that Nancy had taken him to. "The bomb's under the tarpaulin. They put the fence up overnight. See that building? The hospital?"
"What about it?" asked the Doctor.
"That's where the Doctor is." Nancy said "You should talk to him."
"For now, I'm more interested in getting in there."
"Talk to the Doctor first."
"Why?"
"Because then maybe you won't want to get inside." she turned to leave.
"Where are you going?" asked the Doctor.
"There was a lot of food in that house. I've got mouths to feed. Should be safe enough now."
"Can I ask you a question?" the Doctor asked "Who did you lose?"
"What?"
The Doctor turned to face her "The way you look after all those kids. It's cause you lost somebody, isn't it?" he asked "You're doing all this to make up for it."
"My little brother, Jamie." Nancy answered finally "One night I went out looking for food. The same night that thing fell. Told him not to follow me. I told him it was dangerous. But he just...He just didn't like being on his own."
"What happened?"
"In the middle of an air raid? What do you think happened?"
The Doctor smiled slightly then said "Amazing."
"What is?"
"1941. Right now, not very far from here the German war machine is rolling up the map of Europe. Country after country, falling like dominoes. Nothing can stop it, nothing. Until one tiny, damp little island says 'no'. No, not here. A mouse in front of a lion. You're amazing. The lot of you. Don't know what you do to Hitler, but you frighten the hell out of me. Off you go then, Do what you've got to do. Save the world" the Doctor walked away.
--
The Doctor reached the hospital and discovered that the gates were padlocked shut so he took out the sonic screwdriver and unlocked the padlock and opened the gates.
He entered the Albion Hospital for the second time in this regeneration, the only difference between the two visits that he could find was that the hospital appeared to be completely empty. He then entered a ward and discovered that it was in fact full of people, who were wearing gas masks and appeared to be sleeping. He looked around the ward and then left.
He entered yet another ward and found that it was full as well as he was about to turn around and leave an old man entered the room. "You'll find them everywhere. In every bed, in every ward. Hundreds of them."
"Yes, I saw." said the Doctor "Why are the still wearing gas masks?"
"They're not. Who are you?"
"I'm... Are you the Doctor?"
"Dr Constantine. And you are?"
"Nancy sent me."
"Nancy?" he asked "That means that you must have been asking about the bomb."
"Yes"
"What do you know about it?"
"Nothing. That's why I was asking." answered the Doctor "What do you know?"
"Only what it's done."
"These people were all caught up in the blast?
"No of them were."
Doctor Constantine began to cough and the Doctor went to help him, but he held out his hand to make the Doctor stay back. He sat down on the chair that was behind him.
"You're very sick." the Doctor said
"Dying, I should think. I just haven't been able to find the time." Doctor Constantine said sarcastically "Are you a doctor?"
"I have my moments."
"Have you examined any of them yet?"
"No."
"Don't touch the flesh."
"Which one?"
"Any one."
The Doctor took out the sonic screwdriver as he walked towards one of the patients. He turned it to the correct setting and began to scan the patient from the head down.
"Conclusions?" asked doctor Constantine
"Massive head trauma, mostly to the left side. Partial collapse of the chest cavity mostly to the right. There's scarring on the back of the hand and the gas mask seems to be fused to the flesh, but I can't see any burns."
"Examine another one."
The Doctor did as doctor Constantine asked, this time he examined a nurse and found the exact same injuries. "This is impossible."
"Examine another."
This time the Doctor went to the other side of the room and chose another male patient and yet again he discovered the same injuries "This is impossible."
"No."
The Doctor walked away from the patient back to his original position as he said "They've all got the same injuries."
"Yes."
"Exactly the same."
"Yes."
"Identical, all of them right down to the scar on the back of the hand."
Doctor Constantine looked at his hand, there was a scar there that was exactly the same as all of the patients, he was becoming like them, which wasn't surprising as he was the only person in the hospital that hadn't been infected.
"How did this happen?" asked the Doctor "How did it start?"
"When that bomb dropped, there was just one victim."
"Dead?"
Doctor Constantine nodded "At first." he said "His injuries were truly dreadful. By the following morning every doctor and nurse who had treated him, who had touched him, had those exact same injuries. By the morning after that, every patient on the same ward, the exact same injuries. Within a week, the entire hospital. Physical injuries as plague. Can you explain that?" he asked "What would you say was the cause of death?"
"The head trauma."
"No."
"asphyxiation?"
"No."
"The collapse of the chest cavity."
"No."
"Alright, what was the cause of death?"
"There wasn't one." Doctor Constantine answered "They're not dead." he moved his cane and hit the bin with it and every single patient in the room sat up suddenly which caused the Doctor to jump. "It's alright, they are harmless. They just sort of sit there. No heartbeat. No life signs of any kind. They just don't die."
"And they've just been left here?" the Doctor asked "Nobody's doing anything?" The patients lay back down again.
"I try and make them comfortable." Doctor Constantine answered "What else is there?"
"Just you?" the Doctor asked "You're the only one here."
"Before this war began I was a father and a grandfather." he said "Now I'm neither, but I'm still a doctor."
"Yeah. I know the feeling."
"I suspect the plan is to blow up the hospital and blame it on a German bomb."
"Probably too late."
"I know." he said "There are isolated cases." he stopped "Isolated cases breaking out all over London."doctor Constantine was struggling to speak and the Doctor was concerned "Stay back." doctor Constantine told him, before he started coughing "Listen to me." he said as he stopped "Top floor. Room 802. That's where they took the first victim. The one from the crash site. And you must find Nancy again."
"Nancy?"
"It was her brother. She knows more than she's sharing. She won't tell me, but she..." he trailed off and started gasping for breath as though something was forcing its way up his throat "Mu-mmy." he said, sounding like a little boy "Are you my...mummy?"
The Doctor watched horrified as the man's face became a gas mask, he knew that he had to fix this, but his number one priority was finding Rose and making sure that she was alright.
Suddenly a male voice said "Hello?"
The Doctor turned at the sound and went to investigate.
--
Jack and Rose entered the hospital, looking for the Doctor "Hello?" Jack called
"Hello?" Rose said a door opened at the end of the corridor and the Doctor walked out of it, she smiled at him, but couldn't say anything as Jack said
"Good evening. Hope we're not interrupting." he held out his hand to the Doctor "Jack Harkness. I've been hearing all about you on the way over."
"He knows, I had to tell him about us being Time Agents." Rose told the Doctor
"And it's a real pleasure to meet, you Mr Spock." he slapped the Doctor's shoulder and walked towards where the Doctor had just come from.
"Mr Spock." the Doctor asked Rose.
"Well, I couldn't tell him who you are, one, he'd never believe me and two, I don't know if I can trust him yet." she said as she hugged him "And besides, I wanted to keep us a secret." she said as she pulled back and kissed him quickly.
"Where have you been?" he asked "We're in the middle of a London Blitz, not the best time for a stroll."
"Who's strolling?" Rose said "I went by barrage balloon. Only way to see an air raid"
"What?" He asked as he took her hand and the two of them followed Jack.
"What's a Chula warship?" she asked, changing the subject, not wanting to tell him that she'd nearly been killed again.
"Chula?"
--
Jack scanned the patients just as the Doctor had done "This just isn't possible." He said "How did this happen?"
"What kind of Chula ship landed here?" asked the Doctor.
"What?" asked Jack.
"He said it was a warship." Rose told the Doctor "he stole it, parked it somewhere out there. Somewhere a bomb's gonna fall on it." she continued "Unless we make him an offer."
"What kind of warship?" the Doctor asked
"Does it matter?" Jack asked "It's got nothing to do with this."
"This started at the bomb site." the Doctor told him, he was beginning to lose his temper, Rose sensed this and moved closer and placed a restraining hand on his arm "It's got everything to do with it. What kind of warship?"
"An ambulance. Look. That's what you chased through the Time Vortex." he showed the Doctor and Rose a hollogram of the thing that they had been chasing "It's space junk, I want to kid you it was valuable, it's empty. I made sure of it, nothing but a shell. I threw it at you." Jack admitted. "Saw you're time travel vehicle, love the retro look by the way, nice panels, threw you the bait..."
"Bait?" asked Rose.
"I wanted to sell it to you, then destroy it before you found out it was junk."
"You said it was a warship."
"They have ambulances in wars." Jack said as he walked to the other end of the room. "It's a con. I was conning you." Jack admitted "That's what I am, I'm a con man. Thought you were Time Agents. You're not are you?"
"Just a couple more freelancers." answered Rose.
"Oh! Should've known, the way oyu guys blend in with the local colour." he said gesturing to their appearance "Flag girl was back enough, but U-boat Captain? Anyway whatever's happening here has got nothing to do with that ship."
"What is happening here, Doctor?"
"Human DNA is being rewritten. By an idiot."
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know, some kind of virus. Converting human beings into these things. But why? What's the point?"
--
Rose was taking a closer look at one of the patients, when it sat up suddenly, she jumped back and so did the Doctor and Jack as the rest of the patients sat up.
All of the patients kept saying mummy over and over again
Rose was backing away from them to the Doctor "What's happening?"
"I don't know." the Doctor answered. He backed away with Rose when she reached him, pulling her close "Don't let them touch you."
"What happens if they touch us?" Rose asked
"You're looking at it."
The Doctor, Rose and Jack stood in a group watching the gas mask people advancing on them. "Mummy, mummy, mummy..."
And that's the end of the empty child, I'll be posting the Doctor Dances as soon as possible.
