"Back to the TARDIS. HURRY!" Jack said, picking Ianto up and running towards the blue box. Micah shook off his sadness and picked up his son's body, knowing it would need to be burned again, and with one look towards the Doctor, he moved as fast as he could towards the TARDIS, waiting for the Doctor to make his way in before setting the TARDIS off to their new destination.
"Thanks for the help." The Doctor said, bitterly.
"I had to get him in." Micah said, frowning at the Doctor, who was holding his midsection in agony.
Ianto gasped as he came to life and looked around the room at the arguing couple before setting his eyes on Jack, who looked saddened for the Doctor.
"I hate dying. What happened?" Ianto asked and Jack wiped at his eyes before answering.
"You and The Master died and the Doctor's dying." Jack said and watched Micah flinch.
"He's not dying. He'll be fine...just a flesh wound." Micah said and Jack understood where the Doctor did not. If Micah had helped the Doctor into the TARDIS and had given in to the fact that he was dying, it would have killed Micah as well.
"Let's get you lot home..." The Doctor said, changing the coordinates. "The Master's dead, whatever the counting house is about, Magi and I can figure it out together..."
"Aren't you going to regenerate?" Micah asked and the Doctor shook his head.
"Not yet, we have to get Jack and Ianto back home...burn the Master's body and then maybe..."
"There's no maybe. I won't let you die." Micah said, angry at the situation.
"There we are then, Jack, Ianto, give Saben a big kiss for me will you?" The Doctor said, squeezing his hand to prevent his regeneration for as long as possible.
"We will. Thank you...for everything and I'm sorry we weren't more help..." Jack said, fear and sorrow evident in his voice.
"Nah, it was fun. I was fun yeah?"
"Yeah." Ianto said, nodding to the Doctor as the TARDIS doors closed and the blue box disappeared.
"I hope he makes it out of this fine." Ianto said to Jack once the TARDIS was gone.
"He will...he has to."

The Doctor and Micah watched the Master's body burn and for the second time the Doctor said goodbye to his son. It was horrible to see this again, but this time he was going to make sure there was nothing left to bring him back. His son deserved peace and this time he would get it.
"Regenerate, please." Micah begged and the Doctor shook his head.
"Not yet...I'm not ready." The Doctor said, watching the flames die down and together they made their way back to the TARDIS.
"When will you be ready?" Micah asked and the Doctor let tears fall as he looked at his hands.
"Put in the coordinates...I want to fly." The Doctor said, watching his hands glow a brilliant gold.
"You've held off the regeneration quite a while...it'll destroy the TARDIS and we'll crash if we fly." Micah said, walking close to the Doctor, trying to talk some sense into him.
"I don't care...put in the coordinates." The Doctor demanded and Micah sighed before doing as he was told.
Micah watched as the Doctor continued to look down at his glowing hands and it finally hit him as to what the Doctor's problem really was and he shook his head. Walking over to The Doctor, Micah opened his arms and waited for the Doctor to fall into them.
"I don't want to go." The Doctor said, and Micah's heart clenched.
"You're not going anywhere, you're just changing..."
"It won't be me though...it'll be some other face gallivanting out of this box...with my memories...and my life."
"None of your other regenerations seemed to bother you so much..." Micah noted and the Doctor laughed.
"I was young...I didn't care then...I do now."
"Just let it go." Micah said and the Doctor did as he was told, letting the regeneration take hold of him, making Micah jump back before he was burned.
Once the light was gone Micah opened his eyes and looked at the new Doctor before him and he had to smile. He was very good looking...face a bit long and a jaw that could take out an eye, but he was very handsome.
"Legs, good...I've got legs and arms...good and...AHHH I'm a girl...I'm a...no I'm not...and still not ginger." Micah listened to the ramblings of the Doctor and would have laughed if the situation wasn't so dire.
"DOCTOR." Micah yelled, catching the Doctor's attention.
"What is it...Oh right, we're crashing."
