Rose blinked over and over, trying to clear her vision but it wasn't working. Everything around her was dim and blurry.
"She's conscious," She heard the voice of the woman who had been giving her the shots speaking just above her head.
"It doesn't matter now. She's only got a few more minutes to exist at all. Let her have them." The raspy voice of the queen laughed in response.
The energy that shot through Rose felt like it's own living thing. She could feel it awakening her limbs and freeing her voice.
"NO!" She shouted as her vision suddenly cleared. Her eyes swirled with a glowing golden light that scared away the woman holding the syringe but not the queen.
"Hm, that's interesting. What a fun time i'll have discovering all my new abilities." She threatened and pressed a button that was on the console beside her.
The light in Rose's eyes flickered as the electrodes that were still attached to her forehead, neck, and chest hummed with electricity. She could feel herself fading away. She felt lighter and as if she was floating out of her body.
"No!," She screamed, fighting. "I'm not goin' anywhere!"
The machines next to them suddenly exploded into flames and Rose felt herself beginning to solidify again. She sighed with relief at finding that she was no longer tied up and ripped the tiny wires from herself. Looking around to find the queen Rose screamed in horror. She didn't not see the queen but saw herself instead, lying unconscious on the surgical table.
Immediately she looked around for a mirror and found a solid metal plate. Her reflection was just what she'd thought, the Queen. But instead of the Queen's green eyes, they were Rose's own brown with the last traces of golden light flickering in them before it faded completely.
"What?... I don't ..." The Queen muttered as she woke slowly. Finally opening her eyes fully she grinned, laughing in triumph.
"Bria! Bria, come back now and untie me right away! It worked! Oh, it worked!" She crowed, not noticing Rose standing just outside of the light.
"Bria!" She then screamed with impatience. Rose waited another minute, listening for footsteps before she walked closer to the Queen so that she would be seen.
"WHAT are you doing here!?" The Queen screamed in terror and fury causing Rose to freeze in place.
"Isn't this what you wanted? Wasn't your evil plan to take over my body?" She asked with more surety than she felt.
"Of course it was but you are not supposed to be in mine! You are supposed to disappear! YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO EXIST!
"Oh," Rose snorted, "Well, I told you I wasn't goin' anywhere."
"Oh, yes you are." The Queen snarled. It was so strange for Rose to be threatened by her own face that it felt almost comical.
"Yeah? And how's that? Because i'm not the one tied up anymore. That's you isn't it? Tell you what though, let's make a deal, you and me. Trade our bodied back and i'll let you loose. Sound good?"
"I can't trade back. There's no way to do that! I would die. I don't know what happened but trading was never a possibility. You should have been erased. What are you?"
Rose felt the mirth fade as it was replaced by anger at this terrible woman and the golden spark returned to her eyes as she glared at the Queen.
"I am the Bad Wolf."
Rose watched with satisfaction as the Queen's eyes, her eyes, widened in fear. She was bluffing of course. Whatever part of the Bad Wolf remained in her was only enough to keep her from fading away. She certainly wouldn't be able to make the Queen disintegrate as she had the Daleks. Not that she would want to, at least not while the Queen still possessed her body.
"Rose!" The Doctor burst through the door still holding the sonic like a weapon as he scanned for the darkness for her. The queen's eyes darted from Rose to the Doctor and she suddenly gave a huge grin.
"Here! I'm here! Oh, you found me!" She cried out in fake relief, even managing to produce some tears. The Doctor rushed to her side, so focused on the Rose that was tied up he didn't even notice the real Rose standing there.
"No, Doctor, it's me! I'm Rose!" She cried out desperately pulling on his arm to stop him from freeing the Queen. The Doctor turned to her.
"No! She's lying Doctor, don't listen to her. Please, get me out of here. You got here just in time. She was going to steal my body!" The Queen cried out, struggling at the now loosened bindings enough to free one wrist. The Doctor looked between them for a moment, unsure of what to do when the Queen grasped his hand. "It's me." She whispered flirtatiously. The Doctor blinked once. "Yes, it is you." He growled before turning to the real Rose and hugging her tightly.
He grinned down at her. "Hello. We have to stop meeting like this."
Rose let out a long sigh of relief and nodded emphatically. He pulled away from her then and looked back at the Queen who was busy working on untying her other wrist.
"Now, how are we going to get you back where you belong?" He said, moving towards the machines they'd been connected to and beginning to scan them with the sonic screwdriver.
"There's no use." The queen announced, "It cannot be undone. There's never been a switch before. The machine isn't made for that. I don't even know what she did to make this happen."
The Doctor looked back at her for a moment, "Weeell, I don't think your machine was prepared for someone like her and I'm absolutely positive it's not prepared for me."
