Again, I don't own Doctor Who. Also, the new search format is not as likable as the last one.

Within the minute, Vastra arrived in the Sick Bay, her and Jenny holding hands very tightly. As she walked through the entrance, she spoke.

"Doctor, I do apologize for my insensitive comment I made when your timeline was restored."

"Vastra, there is no need for the apology," the Doctor replied, "you had lost you wife and then your friend in very rapid succession. This must have been terrifying. When Jenny and Strax came back to you, the joy of having them back caused all other things to go the wayside for a little bit of time."

The Doctor's statement to Vastra caused her to visibly relax, and Vastra and Jenny walked to Clara's bed side. "Doctor, what is her condition?" Jenny asked.

"A badly sprained ankle, extremely unusual brain activity, and an extremely high concentration of Artron Energy" The Doctor replied very quietly. He had moved to Clara's side, and was brushing some stray strands of hair from her face.

Jenny, Vastra, and Strax all stood by as the Doctor as he looked at Clara. His lovely, caring, and vivacious companion was not even moving, except for slow breathing. Seeing this broke his heart, thinking back to the Dalek Asylum, and especially his meeting with Victorian Clara. Sensing this, Vastra nudged Jenny's arm, and Jenny stated "If it is alright sir, we would like to stay with you. We don't want to see you become the way you were after you lost the Ponds and River again."

Vastra quickly picked up where Jenny left off. "In addition Doctor, perhaps talking about the circumstances and may help us better understand Clara's current condition. Her condition is stable, Strax?"

"Of course, my reptilian ally." Strax responded

The Doctor didn't have time to resist their suggestions, going along with their idea. Besides, this was probably better than living on top of a cloud for an extended period. But they would need to reorganize this particular sub-portion of the Sick Bay.

The Sick Bay had 4 different spaces for the sick and injured, separated by Partitions. In each one, there was a sofa and 2 chairs, And while there was enough seating for everyone, the sofa was against the wall opposite the bed, and the chairs were in between. Not conducive to Vastra's suggestion, the Doctor and Strax quickly moved the furniture around to a better position, after which everyone took a seat. The Doctor was sitting in a chair, next to Clara, holding her hand. Across from him, on the sofa, sat Vastra and Jenny, arm in arm. Strax sat in between them with a chair.

"So, Doctor and Strax, aside from the information you had told Jenny when she asked, is there anything else of note?" Vastra started.

"Aside from the abnormally high amount of brain activity, all other signs point to the boy being in a coma. This includes a slow pulse, and low blood pressure." Strax stated, looking at the medical device he had used sometime earlier to revive Jenny.

"So, Doctor, I do remember hearing you warn the Great Intelligence before he walked into your timeline that he would be broken into pieces when going in. I presume that is what happened to Clara?" Vastra asked

"Yes, that is correct. When I got to her at within my timestream, she mentioned that she saw all eleven faces" The Doctor confirmed, although he was holding back an important fact. I won't tell them about the other Doctor. At least until Clara wakes up.

While relegating this fact to the back of his mind for the moment, the Doctor continued. "However, I only remember three of these times. Oswin Oswald at the Dalek Asylum, and the one we met Christmas Day 1892 in Victorian London. In addition, I am beginning to recall a Time-Lady version of Clara on Gallifrey who referred me to the TARDIS we are sitting in now."

"So that is at least 4 Claras, 3 echoes and the main one who jumped into the time stream and was rescued by you." Vastra mused, "Strax, can you hand me your scanner, I would like to see her brain activity."

"Certainly"

"Thank you, Strax, now let's see her brain activity" Vastra said

After a handful of monents looking at the instrument, Vastra asked the Doctor another question

"So Doctor, from your previous statements, you said that Clara remembered seeing your other faces. By extension then, Clara must remember her other lives." Vastra stated to the Doctor

"That seems to a reasonable conclusion. She did remember an aborted timeline when the TARDIS was captured and the Engine Malfunctioned" The Doctor stated. He quickly came to the realization that Clara also knows his name now.

"Well, we can conclude then that Clara has the memories and experiences of her past selves. They certainly differed in location in time and space, but they all had the same essential personality. Now, with Clara having all of those experiences in her head, she is has become something of a gestalt." "The chaotic nature of her brain activity gives the appearance that there are several things going on at once, which makes sense, as her brain is trying to make sense of all the experiences."

"Thank you Vastra with helping me to that conclusion. That also explains why the TARDIS doesn't like Clara. She sensed the exact same person before, when I invited the Victorian version of Clara. And to the TARDIS, having two versions of the same person is impossible." The Doctor Responded. "So, what happens to her now?"

"I'm not sure." Vastra replied "No one has ever jumped into a time stream before."

"Well, I know one thing for certain" the Doctor said, getting up, "I am not going to leave her loved ones on Earth without an explanation. I very much regret doing that with Rory's dad"

The Doctor continued to the console room, Vastra and Jenny in tow.

Angie and Artie had just gotten out of the movie and heading home. While they still felt a bit of pride about how they tricked the Doctor, they were now also realizing the fact that Clara was likely to be very cross with them and may very well discipline them for this little stunt.

As they turned a corner towards home, they had a bit of a shock. The Doctor was standing there.

"I should be very cross at you for tricking me. But something has happened to Clara. Come with me."

Now terrified for Clara, they followed the Doctor to his TARDIS, sitting between two businesses.

For Vastra's characterization, I took one thing into mind. In the Whoniverse, she was the inspiration for Sherlock Holmes. So, I don't think her reasoning abilities being able to compete with the Doctor's is out of place.

As for Clara being a Gestalt, that is something I decided on early on. The Definition of 'Gestalt,' according to the Oxford Dictionary, is "an organized whole that is perceived as more than the sum of its parts." Clara is definitely this, as she is one person with the memories of all of her echo lives, plus a single aborted time line (Journey to the Center of the TARDIS). This will factor in later.

Please leave reviews, I am really new at this. Also, be nice!
