Okay. This was one of the most difficult chapters to write. Wait. Correction. It WAS the most difficult one to write as of now. It is DALEK, after all. Oh well. I played around quite a bit with the plot of it, let's see if I did any good. Go on, read on. And. Reviews would be nice. Thank you, everyone!

"What are we going to do with him?" Rose asked the Doctor while swinging casually around in the jumpseat.

"Possibly send him to The Pig Wonderland," he answered while running around the controls.

"Can't we just keep him?" she asked slowly.

"What? A Humanoid Pig? I'm not making this place domestic, I told you." He pointed at her.

"He's not part of the domestic," Rose insisted. "He's an alien. Well, at least now he is...you said you wanted to help him," she pleaded.

"And that's what we're going to do. Take him back home. Where all the world is full of pigs."

"That's not fair." Rose wanted to say something more, but lost that chance.

"We've landed," the Doctor announced.

"Where? To The Pig Wonderland?"

"No. I've got a signal. We'll have to postpone that trip for later," he said and walked to the doors. "You coming?"

"Yeh!" she shouted out.

Once they stepped out, Rose saw just where they have landed. She gulped at the thought of what was yet to come. "S-so, where are we?" she tried to ask casually and hoped the Doctor didn't notice a small quiver in her voice.

"Utah. North America. About half a mile underground." The Doctor looked around and turned the lights on.

"And when are we?"

"It's the year 2012," the Doctor said absentmindedly, already immersed in his inspection of the place, pausing near the glass showcases. Rose glanced at the nearest exhibit and walked over it. "It's the Slitheen's arm. It's been stuffed."

But the Doctor already had his whole attention on a specific showcase in place. "Oh, look at you," he breathed out in awe.

Look at you, indeed.

Rose went to join the Doctor while memories of long ago resurfaced in her mind.

What are they?
Cybermen.

They are people?
They were.

She could hear the conversation in her head, she once had had with her Doctor and it took all her willpower to remain steady. She closed her eyes. Not just yet. She was not ready to face her nightmares yet, but they were chasing after her in full speed. Not allowing her to forget of all the tragedy she had witnessed.

"An old friend of mine," the Doctor said in a distant voice. "Well." He shrugged nonchalantly. "Enemy."

"Is th..." Rose faltered. "Is that where the signal is coming from?" She knew the answer was negative.

"Nah. It's stone dead," he said softly, never leaving his eyes off the Cyberman's severed head. "This signal is alive. Something is reaching out. Calling for help." He reached out to touch the glass. Rose was already opening her mouth to stop him, but with only a slight contact, the alarm broke out. The Doctor looked around just to find an army of armed men surround them in seconds time. All guns pointed right at them.

"Aliens are collected here. And that makes you an exhibit A." Rose looked at the Doctor meaningfully.

They were brought into the Henry van Statten's cabinet room. And he looked as unpleasant as the last time, sitting in his chair all proud and all. He was talking with Adam about the alien musical instrument, which they didn't know yet about. Oh, Adam. Be glad your head still doesn't open up.

"I really wouldn't hold it like that," the Doctor began, not being able to suppress himself.

"Shut it," the ginger woman chided him. The Doctor looked at her for a moment and back to Henry.

"Really, though. That's wrong." The Doctor tried again.

"Is it dangerous?" Adam asked in concern.

"No," the Doctor answered simply. "Just looks silly." He tried to take it from the man in chair, and although, the men pointed guns at him in defense, Statten quickly stopped them and handed the instrument to the Time Lord.

"You just need to be... delicate," the Doctor said, beaming. His fingertips caressed the surface of the instrument with a gentle touch, making a soft and beautiful music. Completely out of place, compared to the museum it was in.

"It's a musical instrument," Henry said, faking an amazed smile. Not like it was of any use for him.

"Here, let me." He grabbed the instrument from the Doctor's hands and tried to play it himself. In a few seconds it was tossed on the ground, like a piece of trash. It made the Doctor frown.

"I'm the Doctor. And who are you?" He looked at him in a warning.

"Like you don't know." Henry van Statten spoke in a cocky tone. "You just stumbled in by mistake." He joggled his head in a mocking manner.

"Pretty much sums me up," the Doctor just agreed with a laugh.

"Question is..." Henry walked out from his table. "How did you get in? 53 floors down. With your little cat-burglar accomplice. Quite a collector yourself. She's rather pretty." He gestured to Rose, smiling at her in a wrong way.

"She's gonna smack you if you keep calling her 'she'," Rose shot back.

"She is English too!" Henry exclaimed with fake enthusiasm.

When both - the Doctor and Rose made no effort to recognize Henry van Statten, and since Rose had no intention of pleasing his ego, Adam took the job upon himself.

"So you're just about an expert in everything, except the things in your museum. Anything you don't understand, you lock up." The Doctor mocked him.

"And you claim greater knowledge?" Henry challenged him.

"I don't need to make claims. I know how good I am," the Doctor said simply.

"And yet I captured you," Henry sneered at him. "Right next to the Cage. What were you doing down there?"

"You tell me."

"The Cage contains my one living specimen."

"And what's that?" The conversation got to the next speed level.

"Like you don't know."

"Show me."

"You wanna see it?"

"Blimey, you can smell the testosterone," Rose exhaled.

"You, English. Look after the girl," Henry instructed Adam. "And, you, doctor with no name. Come and see my pet." Gesturing to the doors as they walked out.

Rose followed Adam to his own "little storage room". He showed her some alien weapons and stuff, to which Rose played innocence in not knowing what it was.

"The thing is. It's all true," Adam began with excitement. "Everything the UNIT tries to keep quiet about - spacecraft, aliens, visitors to Earth. They really exist."

Rose just let him talk. "That's amazing," she said in a sneer, but Adam failed to notice that. "So, how did you end up here?" Rose unwillingly tried to keep the talk going.

"Van Statten has agents all over the world looking for geniuses to recruit."

"Oh right, you're a genius." Rose raised an eyebrow to him. "A genius with a chip in his head..." Rose said under her breath.

"Sorry, but yeah. I can't help it. I was born clever." Clearly oblivious to the last sentence. "When I was eight, I logged onto the US Defence System, nearly caused World War Three."

"Wonderful," Rose said in a mock.

"Well, you shoulda been there. Just to see them running about... Fantastic!"

That made Rose chuckle. "You sound like the Doctor."

"Are you and him.." He moved his hands in a gesture.

"No," Rose said softly. "We are just friends..." She ended with a sad distant smile.

"Oh." Adam bit his lips. "But you clearly want something more," he stated.

"What? No." Rose tried to deny. "Well, I mean ye-h." She was starting to get embarrassed. "But no, I mean...I don't know." She let out a nervous laugh.

"No, I understand. It's alright," he said in a disappointed voice.

"It's complicated," Rose breathed.

"Right. That cursed word. Complicated," he spat the last word. It made Rose relax a bit as she laughed. "Well, maybe, I can show you something interesting. So you might change your mind," he said teasingly to her.

"Are you trying to win me over?" Rose laughed at her own words.

"Am I so obvious?" Adam grinned at her. Rose chuckled. "Well, look at this." He pressed the button just to show the Dalek on the screen. Rose's face got pale at once. The man in a an orange suit was steadily making his way toward it, with an intention of torture.

A drilling sound could soon be heard together with the Dalek's scream. Rose's face was blank. It was a Dalek. The same species who just refused to go away. And separated her and the Doctor just so many times.

More screams.

Rose closed her eyes. She was battling with herself, not knowing what was the right course of action in this situation.

"We better not look at this, after all..." Adam said silently and was inches from the button to shut it off.

"Take me down," Rose said in a hollow voice as she walked past him.

She couldn't help but remember it reaching out for the sun. It was not the Dalek anymore. It was something else. If by absorbing a part of her DNA it got humanity in it, she would give him enough to stop it from killing.

Adam easily got them in the room with faking a "Special access" from Van Satten. Once Rose locked her eyes on the Dalek, she felt a lump in her throat.

Was this the right choice?

"Dont get too close," Adam said from behind. Rose was slowly walking towards it. Inches from it, she greeted it.

"Hello..." she said softly.

No answer.

"My name is Rose Tyler." She started. "Look...I wan-..." She could feel her voice crack. "I want to help you...but you got to help me too," she said, making her voice more steady.

"You-want-to-help-me?" the Dalek said faintly.

"Yeh." Rose nodded a bit. "I can make you better, but you got to promise me, that you won't hurt anybody else."

"I-am-a-soldier. My-duty-is-to-exterminate."

"No!" Rose shook her head. "You can be better than that." She smiled faintly.

"There-is-no-point-in-me. I-am-all-alone." It lowered its "camera eye".

"You can feel the sun again," Rose said gently. "Don't you want that? To feel again?" she asked carefully.

"I-can-not-feel-anything-but-pain."

"I'll help you," Rose said faintly as she placed her hand on the metal surface of the Dalek. With a single touch it came back to life and it was burning Rose, but she didn't move her hand away.

"Rose! Move away from it!" She could hear Adam's voice. But she stayed in her position.

It hurt. And a lot.

It was similar to the time in the engine room with the lever. She closed her eyes from pain, but soon enough felt how a warm energy surrounded her hand. She fluttered her eyes and saw it glow in gold gentle light. It eased her pain. She watched in bewilderment at her and the Dalek, who was still in chains as it didn't move away from her touch.

Soon she felt herself being grabbed from behind, her palm leaving the Dalek. The man took her hand into his and looked in shock how the wound of her burns closed up in his eyes. "Who are you?" he asked her in disbelief. Rose couldn't really answer that.

Seconds later, the Dalek broke free from the chains and now was dangerously full of life. "Stay back." The man informed Rose as he stepped towards it with a gun. Dalek pointed a plumber towards him.

"What're you going to do?" he said in a sneer. "Suck me in?"

"No!" Rose dashed in front of the man as the Dalek began to prepare itself to do just that. "Don't do that," she pleaded. "You are better than this, I know it." She looked it straight in the "camera eye".

It stopped and backed away a bit. "I-will-obey!" it announced.

"You are together with it," the man stated with his mouth half open. Rose looked at him in surprise. "You are partners with a monster."

"Wha-" Rose began, but soon the man was out running from the room, calling his authorities.

"What did you do?" Adam asked as he walked to her. The Dalek quickly started moving towards him, threateningly. "Whoah." Adam put his arms in defence.

"It's alright. He is a friend." Rose told the Dalek. It seemed to calm down.

"Since when are you friends with it?" Adam asked in disbelief.

"It absorbed my DNA. It feels me," Rose explained in a hurry.

In a few seconds men with pointed guns stormed into the room, quickly making their way to Rose and grabbing her. "What are you doing?" She tried to struggle.

"We've received orders to capture the alien," one of them stated in monotone as they were dragging her outside.

"Then why the hell are you grabbing me for? I'm human!" Rose cried.

"RELEASE-HER! RELEASE! RELEASE!" The Dalek was moving towards the men.

"Don't!" Rose warned it. "No shooting. Please," she pleaded it. However, when the men tried to silence her and dragged her more forcefully, the Dalek started to shout "EXTERMINATE!"

In the meantime, the Doctor was held prisoner, as Henry van Statten started his "scans" on him.

"Fascinating!" He clapped his hands together. "Two hearts." He beamed at the monitor.

"So, that's your secret," the Doctor spat in disgust. "You don't just collect the stuff. You scavenge them."

"This technology has been falling to Earth for centuries. All it took was the right mind to use it properly." He shook his head nonchalantly.

Moments later a call arrived, informing Henry of the disturbance. He left the room for a few moments, leaving the Doctor alone to get his breath back.

"Hold her down." Henry van Statten instructed the men as they put Rose behind bars.

"I'm human! You can't just hold the human imprisoned!" Rose shouted back at him. "It's not even a prison cell! I'm not gonna be your lab rat, you crazy bastard," she finished with deadly voice.

"Oh. I am hardly convinced that you are human, young girl." He sneered at her.

"And what're you gonna do, when you find out that I'm human after all. Eh? The ruler of the internet!" Rose shouted at him in a confident voice, even if she was not feeling all that confident herself.

"If that happens..." He looked away nonchalantly. "Then I'll just clean your memory off, and toss you somewhere in the desert." He looked back at her and shrugged. "Like it never happened." He walked off laughing in evil voice.

"You can't do that!" Rose yelled out to him. "Oi! Come back here!"

With that, the doors closed shut, only an echo of laughter giving shivers to Rose.

Soon enough, Henry was back to the Doctor, with a huge grin and satisfaction onto his face.

"Oh. You are so full of surprises, Doctor," Van Satten said in fascination. "It seems, you brought us another living specimen to experiment with."

"What are you talking about?" The Doctor looked at him in bewilderment.

"Like you don't know," he said blankly. "Your little pretty accomplice was alien too, it seems." His grin back on his face.

"What nonsense are you spouting?" the Doctor said darkly, clearly concerned about another living specimen to experiment with sentence. "She's human."

"Superhuman then!" Henry exclaimed. "She brought the Metaltron, or how do you call it, Dalek, back to life!" He laughed out loud. "And it seems it listens to her. Wonderful!"

All kind of crazy ideas were running through the Doctor's mind, as he wondered what could have happened. "Did she touch it?" he asked sharply.

"It seems so. Why?" Van Satten asked cockily. "Rings a bell?

"She gave him her DNA, as it absorbed it, its life was restored," he explained frantically.

"Mister Van Satten." A voice came through the speakers. "The Metaltron got loose. As we took the girl out of the room, it started shooting at us. Guns ain't working, sir!"

The Doctor closed his eyes. "Release me, if you want to live," he said dangerously.

Inside the cell, Rose was anxiously pacing about. She had to think of something. That Dalek was completely her responsibility now, and if it could only listen to her - she had to be near.

A faint lock sound could be heard in a distance and soon a familiar face came to view. "Adam...Adam?" Rose called out to him. "What're you doing here?" she asked in surprise.

"Saving your life," he said while working his way with the locks on the cell. "I don't know how you did that, but you look pretty much human to me. Don't wanna let you scavenged like those other specimen." He smiled at her nervously.

She couldn't believe her ears. She was so disappointed in him, after he put his ambitions before the greater good in Satellite 5. But here he was, helping her out to live.

"Thank you," she said softly.

"You can thank me later. Now there is no time to lose. That Dalek thing got lose after you were taken away. We gotta run," he said while grabbing her hand. Rose shook it off.

"No," Rose said simply.

"What are you doing? We got no time." He tried to approach her again, but she backed away.

"He's my responsibility. I'll take care of it. You go. And thanks again, for letting me out." She smiled at him fondly as she started to move past him.

"I"m going with you."

"Wha-? You can't! It's dangerous." She tried to reason.

"Then you are in it too." He smiled at her, making her grin at him in disbelief.

As Rose and Adam ran through the hallway, they had to pass through the groups of dead bodies, left there on the ground.

Oh, no. We are too late.

"Hurry!" Rose shouted out as she ran further.

They found themselves in a corridor with stairs. "Stairs," Adam stated, he breathed a sigh of relief. If only for a moment longer he didn't have to meet face to face with that metal thing, it was worth it. "It could not have gone that way. It has no legs! Let's go back the other way." He started to make a move.

"It can levitate itself. Come on." Rose rushed upstairs.

The momentary relief gone from Adam's face.

They made their way into a huge basement like storage room and saw the men ready at arms to shoot the coming Dalek.

"Hold your fire!" the commander yelled out when he spotted two humans out there in the open.

"Am I still a wanted person?" Rose asked, panting heavily in whisper to Adam.

"Possibly," he replied in a whisper too.

"You two, get the hell out of here!" The commander's voice was heard again.

"Am I allowed to go?" Rose asked.

"We got the special instructions from Henry van Statten to let you go. But if you disturb our operation, we won't be held responsible if we shoot you in the process."

"Oh. Alright then," Rose said in a half-joke. "But if I could just talk to it-" she began again.

"Thank you, miss Tyler. But I think I can handle one robot on my own." The commander dismissed her. "Now move away!"

This would not work out well. They both ran further inside, past the men.

As the Dalek came into view, it soon spotted Rose and zoomed in his view on the "camera eye". Adam grabbed her hand and was pulling her to run.

"I got to stop it," Rose said with a firm voice, as she broke free from his grasp.

"You are mad! It will kill you." Adam eyed her suspiciously.

"It won't. It knows me," Rose said unwavering and soon she was out of his sight, running towards the Dalek.

Once she reached it, the commander started shouting at her again. "What are you doing? I told you we will shoot!"

"I told you, I can help!" she said moving backwards towards the Dalek with hands pulled in defence. "There is no need for more death." Her eyes trailed off from one man to another. She was trying to let them understand.

"Move away or we are going to start shooting," the commander warned her as the men loaded their guns.

Gulp.

"YOU-WILL-NOT-HURT-HER!" the Dalek stated shaking. Rose looked back at him.

Back in the van Satten's room, the Doctor was discussing the plan of how to get rid of the Dalek, when the ginger woman announced.

"We got vision." And with those words the screen lit up, showing a very dangerous scene.

"It wants us to see," the Doctor stated, slowly moving to the screen. "Rose!" he called out for her, looking frantically at her so close to the Dalek.

"Hello." She just smiled at the camera. "I'm alright, Doctor. But those men kinda want to start shooting," she half-joked.

"Rose!" the Doctor repeated in a concerned voice.

"Open fire!" the commander announced.

"NO!" Doctor yelled at the screen. And as soon as the shooting started Rose found herself surrounded by some kind of forcefield, the bullets not reaching her. The Doctor breathed in relief, when he saw Rose momentary safe.

The Dalek levitated above everyone's heads and shot a blast to the fire alarm, making water pour out of the ceiling. Rose understood what was coming next, so she shouted out to him.

"No! Don't do that. Everyone, step back!" she yelled out to them, but was left unheard.

"THEY-TRIED-TO-HARM-YOU!" the Dalek replied as he was aiming for the ground.

"But look, I'm alright! Thanks to you!" She made a nervous laugh. "Now, stop it, please," she pleaded.

"I-MUST-PROTECT-YOU!" And with that he beamed his blaze towards the ground, making everyone in the water electrocuted.

Rose closed her eyes. It was all her fault. She made this happen.

The deafening silence greeted them.

Completely unfazed, the Dalek made its way to the camera.

"I-WILL-SPEAK-TO-THE-DOCTOR!"

"Alright then. Speak," the Doctor answered in the screen.

"I-FED-OFF-THE-DNA-OF-ROSE-TYLER. EXTRAPOLATING-THE-BIOMASS-OFF-A-TIME-TRAVELLER-REG ENERATED-ME.

"What's your next trick?"

"I-HAVE-BEEN-SEARCHING-FOR-THE-DALEKS."

"Yeah, I saw. Downloading the Internet. What did you find?" the Doctor said, sneering.

"I-SCANNED-YOUR-SATELLITES-AND-RADIO-TELESCOPES."

"And?"

"NOTHING. WHERE-SHALL-I-GET-MY-ORDERS-NOW?"

"You are not going to get any. It's all gone."

"THEN-I-SHALL-FOLLOW-MY-FORMED-ORDER. TO-DESTROY!"

"No!" Rose cried out still in the forcefield. "You can't!"

"BUT-IT-IS-MY-DUTY!" The Dalek tried to reason.

"I'll give you orders," Rose said simply.

"I-WILL-RECEIVE-ORDERS?"

"Yes," Rose simply said. "Now, let me out, and follow me," she said softly and soon was released to the ground.

"Rose! What are you doing? It's going to kill you!" The Doctor looked frantically at her.

"No, he won't." Rose shook her head. "I'll be alright," she said with a sad smile and went further away from the view, the Dalek following behind.

"ROSE!" the Doctor called out.

They walked there for a while. The unlikely duo. Rose and the Dalek with expectations from her. She wondered just where exactly her situation was in right now. They were walking now. But where to? She just legged it, before she could even think what was her plan. Once they reached the staircase, Rose's phone rang. She picked it up reluctantly, having a vague idea what was coming.

"Where are you?" the Doctor's voice asked from the phone.

"Level 49," Rose answered.

"You got to keep moving, the vault is being sealed off up to level 46," he instructed her in all seriousness. "Try to move away from it," he said in a calm voice, but his insides were clearly not feeling so. He felt everything but calm right now.

"I'm going to be alright." Rose tried to soothe him.

"Rose, for God's sake, just keep moving!" the Doctor said in a frantic voice. He was loosing his composure.

The duo then continued going up the stairs. Taking up the speed, but not running. Mind you, the Dalek could only levitate and it was not that fast. And there was just no way that Rose would leave him be on its own. Soon enough, they exited through the doors into some kind of corridor. As they went out the corner, they met up with the running Adam.

The alarm of the bulkhead being closed down could be heard somewhere ahead of them.

"Oh, great. You are still with it," Adam complained, when he saw Rose with her companion. "I don't wanna be in the middle of the shooting, sorry." With those words he ran towards the closing bulkhead, leaving other two do as they saw fit.

Of course, Adam.

Rose looked back at the Dalek, who was moving steadily next to her. She heard the steps of soldiers somewhere in the distance.

"Brilliant. If you won't kill me, then they will," Rose said half-jokingly to the Dalek. Time was running short. And she pretty much got the picture of how the events were playing out this time round.

Rose didn't bother to run. She knew, she wouldn't make it. And she had to take responsibility for all those men, who would be left alone with the Dalek, if she were to leave.

And then it closed. "Rose, where are you!?" the Doctor spoke in a worried voice. "Rose! Did you make it?"

"Sorry," Rose only said.

"I-AM-RUNNING-OUT-OF-POWER!" the Dalek announced, shaking.

"What do you mean?" Rose asked, feeling a bit shaken by its sudden exclamation.

"I-WILL-NOT-BE-ABLE-TO-FORM-A-FORCESHIELD!" And with that he opened his casing up, revealing the living creature in it. It blast a hole in the celling as the sun reached out, warming up the lonely Dalek with its light.

"I-AM-GLAD-TO-BE-ABLE-TO-FEEL-THE-SUN-FOR-THE-LAST -MOMENT."

Rose could hear the Doctor gulp in the phone.

"It wasn't your fault, Doctor. Remember that, okay?" Rose said, her voice cracking.

"Can't you stop your own men?!" The Doctor's voice could be heard shouting at Henry.

"They refused to listen, saying its their duty to protect the nation from the monster, there is no way we can make it back there in time. I'm sorry." Even Henry van Satten sounded a bit guilty, although, that could still be a debate.

"It's alright," Rose spoke softly. "I chose this... And you know what? I wouldn't have missed it for the world." She tried to laugh but it only came as a sad sound. She really wished for more time with him. With either of him.

"WHAT-IS-THE-USE-OF-FEELINGS-IF-YOU-CAN-NOT-EVEN-P ROTECT-THE-WOMAN-YOU-LOVE-DOCTOR?!"

"I... I just-" the Doctor stammered.

And then a huge group of soldiers appeared before their very eyes. They made their formation and got ready, pointing their guns threateningly at the duo. When the men were ready to fire, the Dalek came forward.

"ORDER-MY-DESTRUCTION!" it told Rose.

"Wha-?" Rose blinked at him for a moment. "I can't! Why are you doing this?"

"YOU-MADE-ME-LIKE-THIS! I-AM-NOT-A-DALEK-ANYMORE. THERE-IS-NO-POINT-IN-MY-EXISTENCE. BUT-I-MUST-PROTECT-YOU."

"B-but.." She shook her head.

"ORDER-ME-TO-DIE!"

Rose took a shuddering breath. "Do it," she said faintly.

"I-WILL-OBEY!" And then he levitated in the air, gently crossing the atmosphere. He closed his casing down, and the metal orbs came loose from its surface, making a forcefield around the Dalek. Sparks of electricity flashed and in seconds the Dalek vanished.

It was like it was never there...

The men stood there in bewilderment as they lowered their guns down.

Henry van Satten was dragged by the men to have his memories erased and later to be dropped somewhere in the desert for his lack of responsibility and causing so many casualties.

When Rose made her way to the TARDIS, the Doctor was already waiting there for her. He made his way to her to hug her tightly. "I thought you were going to die."

"Can't get rid of me." Rose chuckled.

"I'm sorry," the Doctor continued tenderly. "My people have died because of its race. I wanted it gone...And now I'm really the last one of the Time War."

"Hey, it's alright. I get it." Rose squeezed his hand a bit. "And you are not alone. I'm not going anywhere." He just smiled at her.

"But its actions...they seemed so...human." She looked him in the eyes.

"It absorbed a great deal of your DNA. And it ceased to exist as a Dalek from that moment on. It would still feel the need to obey his orders of destruction, but your word meant more to him."

"What, are you saying that the Dalek fancied me?" Rose said in disbelief.

"They don't really have such emotions... But it felt a need to protect you. Lucky for me." He beamed at her and she grinned.

Adam soon was present in the room. "We better get out. Van Satten has disappeared, they are closing down the base."

"About time." Rose grinned.

"Well then, you better get going home," the Doctor said nonchalantly. He really felt the need to get rid of a certain English kid.

"Yeh, and we got to hurry up and leave!" Adam was moving backwards.

Rose stopped him in his tracks. "Thank you, for helping me escape the cell." She told him with all honesty. "But we're going to be alright, you go." She pushed him slightly.

"What are you talking about?" Adam looked at her, bemused.

"Go on, boy," the Doctor urged him.

"You are both mad." He shook his head and ran though the doors.

The Doctor just beamed, watching his retreating back. "He was kinda pretty," the Doctor stated, now feeling more relaxed.

"Really? Didn't notice." Rose laughed.

"I thought you were gonna ask me to take him." He raised an eyebrow at her.

"Nah. He may be a genius, but the stars are better off with only one." She looked fondly at him. "He looked like the type to make some disasters around him," she added.

"Oh. Like you?" He mocked her.

"Shut up." She laughed and slapped on his arm lightly, making the Doctor ow, as they walked inside the TARDIS.

to be continued...

A/N: I couldn't just make this chapter not happen. So, I made it like this. And I didn't take Adam with me, because I can imagine it being just fine without him.

And I hope the Dalek didn't put you off. I made it absorb more human DNA on purpose, so that his actions would be more human like.
