Susan shook her head when she saw her grandfather wasn't going to bother replying. She knew him well enough to know that his morals had clouded his judgement. If she'd been involved, she would've wiped out every stinking Dalek in existence. Susan couldn't imagine why the Doctor, who knew Daleks weren't capable of redemption, would want them to still be alive. Not to mention their creator, Davros was a monster who deserved death more than anything.

She smiled at Rory and Amy, " Sorry, but after spending time travelling in different realities, travelling away from a fascistic earth government since my grandfather didn't bother asking about how aliens were regarded, and regenerating when her so called hudband shoots you, well you can bet that he's not my exact favourite relative in the universe."

Rory looked at the Doctor, " What does she mean by fascist government?"

Susan answered his question before the Doctor could, " The Dalek invasion of earth, afterwards hatred against other races became more common, ships were gutted, the alien crews were either imprisoned and tortured, or were murdered. I was lucky, but I watched as my husband went from a gentle man into a monster. He even captured me himself, and he tortured me in a cell. He tried to interrogate me, but I escaped in my TARDIS. After he shot me, I regenerated, but David was killed when the TARDIS shot him."

The Doctor bowed his head. For years he'd often been tempted to set the controls for Earth, 22nd century, and see how she was doing, but he'd held off because he was too cowardly. What have I done? He mentally kicked himself. I should've gone back, seen what was happening to Humans, seen what they were becoming, but I didn't because I was too arrogant.

" Susan, I'm...sorry," it was a poor start, but the Doctor wasn't sure what to say just yet.

Susan folded her arms, " Your double apologised to me, so you don't need to worry. What pisses me off though is why you abandoned my clone with Rose Tyler, why didn't you wipe the bitches mind of how to build a dimension cannon? She kidnapped Tony, her own little brother when she found out who I was, trying to force me into bringing her here."

" She didn't?" The Doctor whispered. He was aware of how deranged Rose had become, but hadn't thought it was that bad. Thought, the Doctor mused, not one of my strongest points. By now the Doctor knew he was talking to his granddaughter, the same granddaughter he'd been convinced had died in the Time War. Her distinctive telepathic aura had flooded his mind, and he wanted to hug her, but her attitude didn't surprise him. It hurt him, but he wasn't surprised. He'd neglected her, travelled through time and space, uncaring about whether she was okay or not.

Susan nodded, " She did," she replied grimly. She detailed what she'd done with her.

Amy had had enough, and she wanted answers, " Okay, okay! Stop right there! First, you materialise inside the TARDIS, next you claim to the the Doctor's granddaughter, but who the hell is Rose Tyler?"

Susan smirked, " Emotional, isn't she?"

The Doctor nodded, " She's always been that way." Turning to Amy, the Doctor replied, " Amy, Rose Tyler was one of my companions, former companions, she was lost in a parallel world some time ago, and she claimed to love me, but in reality she loved herself. She risked the fabric of the universe to get back, but I gave her a clone of myself after dealing with the Daleks."

" She treated him like dirt," Susan pointed out. " She stalked me, there was something wrong with her mind, she was so totally obsessed with you."

" Hence the reason I left her in that reality," The Doctor pointed out.

" Pity you couldn't have done a better job of it," Susan retorted. " Listen, I'm going. I only popped in to say I was still alive, and I've done that. I'm going now.' She pointed her sonic screwdriver at the TARDIS console - the Doctor's - and activated it. " I've sent my TARDIS t - mail number to the telepathic circuits. Do yourself a favour, stop being self righteous and become more realistic."

Susan opened her TARDIS, and the time ship dematerialised, leaving a very bewildered but happy Doctor. His granddaughter wasn't dead, she was alive, and she was back.


Susan breathed in deeply as she took in the sight of the Gallifreyan system. Both suns had been destroyed, and the whole system was a pile of dust and rocks. She closed her eyes, remembering the vivid and longed for memories of Gallifrey; the orange sky, the bright red grass, the bright silver leaves of the trees...

Susan had seen alternate Gallifreys, and each one of them had shared the beauty of her prime Gallifrey, but none of them had been her Gallifrey. Susan had been dreading this sight and image ever since the 10th Doctor's clone had told her, and he hadn't exaggerated when he told her what was left of the solar system of their births. Susan stayed there for another few minutes, hovering in the TARDIS above the remains of a city that no longer existed, lost before its time before she left in her TARDIS. She would have to spend the rest of her lives travelling through time and space, but she could form a plan to rebuild the Time Lords...

Susan smiled as the plan entered her mind...

Sorry it's a bit short, and sorry of how long its taken me to write this story and finish it.
