The void, Time Lords and saving people.

Chapter nine:

Disclaimer sadly

It must of been something in the body that Rose had missed because even before the old looking man from the human group fully raised his gun to shoot the Doctor, Jack was already barreling towards him, yelling to distract him from his intended target. It worked, almost, everybody looked at him, but the idiot still pulled the trigger.

Hitting Jack in the chest and he went down like a log, dead for the moment, Rose was stunned completely by this and had to physically stop her self from running out to join Donna and the blond who were kneeling by his still form trying to do something.

"He won't stay dead, he won't stay dead, he won't stay dead," she muttered to her self over and over.

The dark skinned woman shared her reaction, though she couldn't hear her, Rose could read her lips. The Doctor had gone with anger and was giving the now restrained old idiot the oncoming storm look, Rose guessed he had already figuring out who that bullet was intended for, even though he had his back turned to the stupid warmonger.

The Doctor quickly strode over to the group of humans and snatched the gun he had shot Jack with out of one of the surrounding soldiers hands and pressed it against the man's head. What felt like forever later, the Doctor lifted the gun and smashed the handle down where he just had the gun, the guy cried out and fell over from his restrained kneeling position, a gash opened up where the gun hit and started leaking blood on to the ground.

"Your lucky he's coming back," the Doctor spat, this got a confused look out of Donna who was now standing up, though jumped when the blond still kneeling beside Jack screamed when promptly he gasped back to life.

Ignoring what els was happening, the Time Lord moved so he could address all of the soldiers in the garden "When you start this new world, this world of Human and Hath, remember that and learn from the selfish mistakes of this dark time, and you know what, make the foundation of this society a man who never would, never would shoot because they can, for their own reasons."

Still in her hiding spot, Rose watched the Doctor with concern, she had seen him go oncoming storm on a few occasions and hit things and only once point any sort of weapon at another living thing, and that was bloody Dalek. This was new though, him pointing a gun at a human and then hitting said human with said gun hard enough to draw blood?

'Blimey, shorter fuse since the fall or was today just special because of the Sontarans,' she thought to her self.

After he got the soldiers to leave, the Time Lord then turned and moved over to where Jack, Donna, the blond girl and dark skinned woman were, he pulled the blond up and into a tight hug, which she returned, whispering something to her and rubbing a hand up and down her back. Rose could see the anger had drained from him as he released the girl to quickly hug the other two in the room.

"You know, if you want to join me on the floor I'd be happy for a 'hug'," Jack said flirtatiously, sending a wink surprisingly not to the Doctor but to the blond.

This got a confused look from the girl and a glare from the Time Lord as he dragged the ex-con man up by his hair, with him complaining and laughing all the way up.

"What are you doing here Jack? How are even here?" The Doctor asked once he was on his feet "you didn't get that bloody space hoper working again did you?"

"Nah, still working on the vortex manipulator," he said with emphases.

"Then how did you get here Jack?" The dark skinned woman asked.

"Ah, well, you see, um," he tried while fidgeting nervously.

'Oh blimey, this will be good' she thought sarcastically to her self.

"Well I think I can answer that one." She called out and walked out of her hiding place towards them.

A shorty because I'm bored and this was suppose to be in the last chapter but that one was over dew.
