Allons-y!
Suddenly, their eyes met and Rose could see, how the Doctors tensed expression softened straight away. But their were also doubts, like he wouldn't believe she was really still alive... Still there. With no serious hurts. He simply had lose her to often, to just trust in luck, wishes and hopes.
His mouth formed the word ' Rose' and she could swear;... She never has seen him such relieved. Maybe , because she wasn't the only Time Lord ( in her case Time Lady) anymore , that he had to worry about, when they must run for their life's again. Quite used to it. Both of them. But now, with the sweet, innocent responsibility inside her, it was different. That was the reason, why everything screamed inside the Doctor, to take Rose away from inside the Cybermen- robot. And it was even harder, to concentrate on the Miss Hartigan- Cybermen- problem again. But right in this moment, he was the only one who knew, how to save every single life in this town. He had to .
Rose couldn't do anything, except of just staring at him. It felt like she hadn't seen the Doctor , for at least a hundred years. She also knew, that this wasn't the best moment to let herself and him get to distracted by that. But she swore she would snog him to death, when they would survive that ... Rose pushed the thought away, with a small, hidden grin. ' Perhaps not the right time ' she told herself. The Cybermen could use any mistakes for their purpose and Rose didn't want to end up as Miss Hartigans little pet, together with the rest of the world. No one deserved a end like this one.
'' Oh, that's fantastic. The Doctor!'' Miss Hartigan laughed, because she already had guessed, that something like that would happen. She had expected that he would do everything, to get back his blond companion. But how naive is this Doctor, to think he could stop her and the great Cybermen empire!
The Doctor didn't let himself get distracted by that, his expression still hard and serious. Rose knew that face. In that moment, she couldn't see the Time Lord any longer, who was childish sometimes, who she often must remember not to be rude, and the Time Lord who could babble about something no one really understood and that without stopping. Now he was the Time Lord, who has fought against million of Cybermens and Daleks, who has saved the earth so many times, without expecting anyone to thank him, the Time Lord who has fought in the Time war and has lost more, then someone can even imagine. She knew that he wouldn't stop now, until everyone was save again.
Rose eyes rushed from him and back to Miss Hartigan, trying to understand what his plan was. Maybe she could use the perfect chance to help the Doctor. She searched for a weak spot in the system and a way to escape. What has he planned? He was undefended and it would be easy for them to kill him. Even if Rose trusted him more then she could describe... she just felt sick. It was like seeing a person you love, standing in front of a gun, an insane person was holding, and you just have to watch it. You just feel useless.
'' Miss Hartigan, I will give you the choice. You may have the most brilliant mind that exist on earth. Tough enough to even control the Cybermens.'' Rose heard the Doctor say.
Wait... Why was he saying something like that?
She looked back to the Cyberking next to her. This one was just smirking and obviously took, what he has said, as an compliment. For Rose, the question was, if he is serious or just tricking her. However that wasn't the biggest problem, she had to care about right now.
Miss Hartigan shock her head. '' I didn't need to hear this from you and I didn't need compliments. I already know it !'' she shouted, totally self- assured .
The Doctor just nodded. She has misunderstood him. '' No, but that mind deserves to survive. The Cybermen came into this world, with the help of an dimension cannon. I can use it again and will find a new home for them. No one will get hurt anymore. And you will let her go.'' His eyes wandered to Rose. Miss Hartigan followed his eyes and stopped at Rose, too.
Rose felt more and more uncomfortable under the searching stare out of the black eyes, that were cold as ice. But she didn't turned her eyes away. Ready for everything. The more she shrugged , when Miss Hartigan started to laugh out very loud. But soon it was replaced by anger that grew inside the Cyberking.
'' I have a world, right down THERE !'' she pointed down to give her words more power. '' Why should I leave?!'' She said and and with a twitch of her hand the Cyberman, that was holding Rose back, pulled her roughly to the ground. The Doctor jerked forward in the balloon, like he would wanted to jump in front of Rose to protect her with his life. But he only could watch it. Again. He felt sick... So sick.
'' And Do you really think I would let go of that Time Lady!? Even if its very hard to admit, your specie is intelligent. She will make a good little pet!'' she continued her shouting. Her eyes wandered over Rose. '' And when I'm not mistaken I even would guess...'' she muttered like she would think very hard.
'' I will never stay with you!'' Rose hissed through her teeth.
Miss Hartigan ignored her and rushed to her. She laid her cold hands roughly over Rose temples. Rose kicked after her and tried with all her power to turn her face away but nothing could stop her. Her hands were still tied by the metallic- handcuffs and the Cyberman were using a huge amount of pressure to hold her down. So what the hell should she do against this women?
'' No stop this Miss Hartigan! Rose!'' Rose heard the Doctor shouting desperately. But the Cyberking didn't stopped.
Miss Hartigan closed her eyes and Rose felt pain shooting through her mind. Something was in her brain. Searching. She was paralyzed and it hurt. It was like fire that burned down every cell inside her head. Rose tried so hard not to scream. She knew it would hurt the Doctor. But when the pain grew inside her head, she couldn't hold it back anymore. She cried out in pain.
When the Doctor heard her scream his mind was like blown away. It shoot through him like a lightning. He never had heard something more horrible and his hearts nearly stopped. He even thought about to risk everything and fly the balloon out of the save distance. Right to the robot. But then Miss Hartigan stopped and went back on her throne, like nothing had happened. Still smirking.
The Doctor watched her, how she waved with her hand again and the Cyberman pulled Rose up again. She was trembling and looked like she would break together in the next moment, but she was alive. He had to hide a smile when Rose stayed tough and stood up again, like it has been nothing for her. Her face didn't show any fears. That was his Rose. Trying not to show her pain to him so he wouldn't get hurt.
'' What have you done to me?'' Rose managed to bring out. Miss Hartigan shock her head and grinned. '' You will stay with me and soon I will have two Timelords. And I don't mean the Doctor.'' she whispered to Rose and her black eyes met hers again.
By the words '… and with that I don't mean the Doctor ' Rose eyes has widened and she felt a stinging feeling inside her. Realization had hit her. That women somehow had found out, that she is pregnant and wanted to be sure about her guess. That was what this scanning had been about.
No , no, no , no... it couldn't be. That had to be a nightmare.
'' You don't need to hide it. I know it for sure. And I will get both of you!'' the black eyed women said.
Rose wanted to kill her. She didn't wished anything more then to just kill her. '' Don't you dare to think I would let my child near to you! Don't you dare! Don't even believe it in your insane, sick ...!'' She stopped to scream at Miss Hartigan, when she felt the Doctor through their Time Lord link, trying to calm her down. It wasn't a very strong feeling, but she still felt it. She searched his eyes . She understood that he wanted to say her he has a plan. She should trust him.
'' Miss Hartigan, when you don't stop this, I have to stop you.'' the Doctor said in an calm voice.
'' What do you think? I'm an idiot?! Do you still believe you can save everyone ?!'' the women in the fire red dress shouted back.
The Doctor shock his head, '' The better question is who do you think I am.''
'' I have enough from you! Kill him!'' Miss Hartigan ordered. But before anything could happen, the Doctor shot with the power off every Info stamp at her. Nothing really happened to her.
In the same instants Rose noticed that the Cybermanhad let go of her and the metallic handcuffs banged to the ground. And she also understood why. The Doctor hasn't tried to kill the Cyberking. He had broken Miss Hartigans connection to the Cybermen.
The Doctor nodded to Rose. She didn't think about it longer. She ducked and sneaked away.
The black eyed women couldn't control the machines anymore, but she hasn't noticed. She started to laugh. '' Your weapon is useless, Sir!'' '' I never wanted to kill you. I broke the connection to the Cybermen.'' the Doctor answered.
Rose meanwhile was in her TARDIS, that has waited for her, all over the time in her ring. The Doctor saw it and breathed out in relieve, when she was save inside the black wooden box. But he couldn't come with her. He had to finish it. And he knew she would understand it.
Rose landed her TARDIS within a second. She burst out of the control room and ran outside, right into Jackson and Rosita's arms. '' Rose?!'' Rosita cried and took her into her arms without thinking. Rose returned her hug, but noticed Jackson staring at her TARDIS, his jaw nearly dropped to the ground. '' Is that a real...'' he started to ask. '' Yes TARDIS.'' Rose finished his sentenced. But she didn't want to answer his questions right now. She stopped hugging Rosita and turned her face in the direction to the big flying balloon. She wanted to be sure that everything is alright.
Suddenly a huge, blue light flashed up and the exploding robot dissipated inside the Time vortex , before it could crash to the ground. '' You did it...'' Rose muttered with a tongue-between-teeth grin. She turned around, when the people around her starting to applaud. That was something new. And she knew who was responsible for it. Jackson stood in the middle of the groups of people, on a wall, and told them about the Doctor and what he had done for all of them.
Rose watched the Doctor again. She could see his face from far away and how completely confused he was. She burst out in laughing and started applaud, too. When the his eyes found her again he started to grin a typical ' Doctor- grin- only- for- Rose- Tyler ' . He couldn't wait to have her back in his arms.
The balloon started to sink down slowly. Rose did the only right thing, for her in this moment. Run. Rosita and Jackson followed her slowly after a while, wanting to give the couple some time for them alone.
When Rose rushed through the streets she saw the destruction that everything had left. But still the people where smiling glad to have survive. Rose slowed down, searching for a familiar face. Her hearts hammered inside her chest and she breathed heavily but she was used to that.
Then she finally saw the Doctor. His had stuffed his hand, inside his pockets and he was watching the destruction with a sad expression. Then he lifted his head up and turned around right to Rose. Like he would have knew she was there.
A huge smile spread across Roses face and for one moment the Doctor was frozen like a statue and he seemed like he still couldn't believe his eyes. That she was really alive. But then he started running towards her. She has never seen him running that fast. And before she could even realize it, they were firmly wrapped into each others arms, in an bone crushing hug. The Doctor lifted her up and twirled her around gently. Rose giggled and barred her face against the right side of his neck under his jaw and pressed a kiss on his warm skin. She felt him laughing under her lips. '' I missed you, too my love.'' she whispered to him. He set Rose back to her feet again, but didn't let go of her . His arms remained around her back and her head laid against his chest. '' I thought she would kill you.'' '' I would have never let her.'' she answered. He smiled. But then he leaned a backwards, so he could see her face. Dried blood covered parts of her skin and her cheek had a shade of blue and was swollen. Her lower lip was split open on the right side.
The Doctor stroke with his thumbs over her cheeks. It hurt in both of his hearts to see her in pain like that. ''What have they done to you?'' Rose shock her head and laid one hand over his hand on her cheek. '' Really. I'm fine.'' She saw how he furrowed his eyebrows, his warm chocolate brown eyes filled with doubts. '' No, I'm so sorry I should have been carefu-'' Rose stopped him from finishing his sentenced and with that blaming himself, for something that wasn't his fault.
She pressed her lips hard to his. He kissed her back straight away , his arms closed around her waist. He felt Rose hands wandering around the back of his neck to deepen the kiss both of them needed so desperately. It wasn't like a soft goodnight kiss. It was completely different. Hard and all of the desperation both of them have felt in the last hours was put in it. They broke apart when they needed to breath. Rose leaned her forehead against his and they remained like this for a moment until someone cleared his throat.
The Doctor and her turned around and both of them saw an innocent looking Jackson. Next to him Rosita with Frederic in her arms. '' I didn't wanted to interrupt you. But.. are we save now? They are gone. The Cybermen..?'' Jackson asked carefully, afraid that they would say no.
Rose and the Doctor grinned at each other. '' Yes, they are gone. '' the Doctor answered. '' Team Doctor and Rose saved the world again. OK you did it'' Rose muttered to him and laughed. He gave her a quick kiss on the forehead. '' I have to admit you are right this time but only on this point.'' Rose rolled her eyes with a tongue-between-teeth-grin. '' Saved the world but always has to be rude.''
