The Doctor's Daughter- Part 3
I do not own Doctor Who and I am not making a profit off of this. I only own my OC.
Thank you for all your reviews, favorites, follows, and story alerts.
We entered a room with gardens. "Oh, yes. Yes. Isn't this brilliant?" We walk up to a glowing globe on a pedestal with wires running to it. There is a control panel and screen nearby.
I positioned myself so that I could push Jenny and The Doctor out of the General's way when the time came. I hated it when Jenny died, well she lived but The Doctor thought she was dead but now I had the chance to change that.
"Is that the Source?" Donna asked.
Jenny sighed. "It's beautiful."
"What is it?" Martha asked.
"Terraforming. It's a third generation terraforming device." I told the group.
"So why are we suddenly in Kew Gardens?" Donna asked. I laughed.
"Because that's what it does. All this, only bigger. Much bigger. It's in a transit state. Producing all this must help keep it stable before they finally-" The Doctor stops mid-sentence as The Hath and the soldiers run in from opposite sides.
"Stop! Hold your fire!" The Doctor said, spreading both arms out as if to halt both sides.
"What is this, some kind of trap?" The General
"You said you wanted this war over."
"I want this war won."
The Doctor sighed. "You can't win. No one can. You don't even know why you're here. Your whole history, it's just Chinese whispers, getting more distorted the more it's passed on. This is the Source. This is what you're fighting over. A device to rejuvenate a planet's ecosystem. It's nothing mystical. It's from a laboratory, not some creator.
"It's a bubble of gases. A cocktail of stuff for accelerated evolution. Methane, hydrogen, ammonia, amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids. It's used to make barren planets habitable. Look around you. It's not for killing, it's bringing life. If you allow it, it can lift you out of these dark tunnels and into the bright, bright sunlight. No more fighting, no more killing."
The Doctor takes the globe. "I'm the Doctor, and I declare this war is over." He throws the globe onto the floor, where it smashes and releases gas and energy. Everyone watches it slowly rise up, then they start to put down their weapons.
All except the general. I got ready.
"What's happening?" Jenny asked, awed by the process.
"The gases will escape and trigger the terraforming process." The Doctor explained.
"What does that mean?"
"It means a new world."
"No!" Jenny yelled, seeing the General point the gun at The Doctor. I pushed Jenny and The Doctor out of the way, just in time, the bullet going into my back left shoulder, so close to the heart. I cried out in pain. The Doctor and Jenny lay me on the ground but I barely notice.
"Susan? Susan. Talk to me, Susan!" The Doctor says frantically. Martha comes over and checks my wound.
"Is she going to be all right?" Donna asked.
"If we go right now. If we wait-" Martha stops.
"Jack." I whispered as The Doctor picked me up. I didn't know if he heard me or not but he nodded so he had.
"This war is over." The Doctor said, angrily as soldiers take the gun from the generals hands and make him kneel. Then The Doctor takes off at a run to the Tardis with Jenny, Donna, and Martha behind him. I drifted in and out of consciousness. One bullet. I thought. I've survived worse. How bad can one bullet be? I blanked out.
I regained consciousness again and found myself laid on the floor of the Tardis with someone holding my right hand. "We're going to Cardiff." That was The Doctor's voice.
The Tardis took off and landed a couple seconds later. "Tell Jack to go to the Med-bay once he gets in." The Doctor said. He picked me up and went off at a run.
I felt someone squeezed my hand. I slowly came out of it. "Susan?" I knew that voice. Jack.
"Jack?" I whispered, still not opening my eyes.
Jack sighed with relief. "Susan…. One question."
"Yeah?" I whispered.
"Why are you still wearing my coat?"
My eyes snapped open. He was right. I rolled my head over to look at Jack and said, "Uh…."
"Oh by the way, The Doctor's pretty pissed at you." Jack said. "You can't keep on pulling these stunts. Almost dying and-"
"But I didn't." I argued. "Plus if you had the chance to save someone that you liked would you have taken it?"
"That's not-"
"See." I said. "Where's everyone?"
"Martha went home. Jenny went back to the planet to help get the people back on their feet. Donna's visiting her parents. The Doctor's avoiding you."
"Tariffic." I muttered.
"Why don't you stay with me for a bit? You can call The Doctor when you feel rested and better." Jack asked.
I thought about it. "Will I get to meet the Torchwood team… Is Gwen on it yet?"
"N-No not yet. We are currently testing some sort of resurrecting glove. Want to come?"
I hesitated. I knew this episode. "Yes." I decided. "Yes I would like to see Torchwood."
