The Doctor had taken Jaime to the Med-bay where she was lying on the bed, curled up with her eyes closed. He wasn't sure if she'd gone to sleep again as he checked her over. He also realised she was probably traumatised. Then in came J.D and he was angry. He had a right to be angry. After all they had been left in New York on one of the worst days in history. "Did you leave us there on purpose?" John demanded, practically in the Doctor's face. "What?" He was stunned at the accusation. "What are you talking about?" "September 11th 2001. Barely two minutes before the plane hit. Did you leave us their on purpose?" John asked but the Doctor scoffed. "Of course I didn't. I was in my Fourth regeneration and it was still yet to happen. Did you come down with a bout of Human Stupiditis? You used to be me, you should know that!" The comment only made John angrier. "Well isn't that just Wizard!" He exclaimed. "Take a pot shot at part of my Physiology why don't you. I know you like to feel Superior but this ridiculous..."
Jaime had opened her eyes and was listening to their arguing. It was too much and she sat up, un-noticed. "Well if you would come blustering in like a human..." "SHUT UP!" Jaime commanded and they both shut up. John staggered back and fell onto the adjacent bed with his eyes closed whilst the Doctor shook his head as if trying to clear it. "Blimey!" He uttered a short time later. "That is a really strong Mind Control you have there Jaime!" The teenager looked stunned and stared at John in horror. He was still against the bed but now he had his arms over his head. "I've never known Mind Control that powerful...wellll, since The Master. And he was good. No wonder that Waitress was caught so easily."
Jaime burst into tears over the fact she'd caused more hurt and it being an especially tiring day. "Oh, come here." The Doctor pulled her in for a hug. "Blimey!" John groaned, finally able to escape the fog in his mind and looked at a crying Jaime being comforted. She knew what she'd just done and she was regretting it. "I'm okay, see...I'm fine." But she just continued and if she wasn't careful she was going to hyperventilate. "Bit of a long tiring day," the Doctor stated and looked at John. "For both of you by the looks of it. Why don't you got to bed. It looks like you could do with some sleep." John grumbled something. "Go on, Jaime will be here overnight." Sighing, John stood up and left the Med-bay.
Meanwhile the Doctor did his best to soothe his foster-daughter and her crying soon tapered off. Enough for him to be able to lay her back on the bed where she curled up sleepily. "You were right you know." She looked at the Doctor with a tired confused expression. "When I visited Rudyard Kipling with Sarah. The children WERE going missing." Jaime smiled, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The next day, since he was feeling rather guilty over his Fourth self leaving them in New York on such a bad day, he took Rose, Jaime and John to the 14th Anniversary Memorial of the 9/11 attacks in 2015. He chose that date specifically because the Freedom Tower was fully open. At the Memorial both the Doctor and Rose noticed that John and Jaime stood very close with their arms around each other, crying because Jaime could feel everyone's grief of lost loved ones. Once the Memorial finished the Doctor suggested they go up to the viewing platform on the 102nd floor. "Fine by me but I don't want to take the lift." John commented. "I don't either." Jaime quickly said. They were odd comments but the Doctor relented and took the TARDIS up to the 102nd floor of Freedom Tower.
On the the Observation Deck the Time Lord noticed and felt the jitteriness from his counterpart and Jaime. They would either be looking back at the TARDIS or peering into into the sky. "What is it with you two? You look like a Woprat caught in headlights." "Just checking we have a quick escape in case the building is attacked by a plane." John stated and Jaime nodded in agreement. It was then that he realised it wasn't just Jaime who was traumatised but John was too. He sighed sadly and felt Rose slip her hand into his. They stayed as long as they could which only ended up being eight minutes before they were off again. The Doctor watched them head further into the TARDIS and sat down, letting out a deep sigh. Rose joined him. "It's not your fault Doctor," she spoke up. "You said so yourself. He wasn't to know what would happen. It was a...what did you call it?" "Flux Point." He replied. "But I should have checked before I let them out. I should have checked." Rose groaned. "Doctor, you're talking as if it was you who left them in New York. It was your Fourth Incarnation...a different man." Before he could protest this Rose gathered him into a hug and he reluctantly hugged her back.
Meanwhile Jaime and John had settled onto the sofa in the Media Room and the TV was on. He was channel flicking until he came across a TV programme called Defiance and he definitely remembered Jaime mentioning it. "Hey! It's that show you were talking about." He said and Jaime grunted, watching the TV. She wasn't interested in the programme because she remembered seeing the Castithan in the haunted town. An alien that wasn't supposed to be in this Universe. In fact it was supposed to be a fictional race. Did she cause them to exist in this universe like how the Gelth escaped the rift again and found themselves on Helter. What if more weird stuff had happened because of her. She shuddered and John felt it.
"Jaime? Are you okay?" He worried. "That Castithan in the Saloon. It's the same alien from this show." She said, looking at the TV. "What if I brought them here when the rift transported me." "Not this again," John said as Jaime began to cry and he put his arm around her shoulders. "What if I brought more with me and nobody knew." "I don't understand." The Half-Time Lord was confused. Before Jaime could reply the Doctor and Rose walked into the room. "What is it?" Rose went straight over to the girl and sat beside her, wondering what upset her this time. The Doctor sat beside Rose, all ears.
"I'm not supposed to be here," the girl cried. "Things are changing." "What do you mean?" But John sighed. "There was a Castithan in the haunted Wild West town and since there is a Defiance in her universe she believes them to be entirely fictional. She doesn't think they even existed in this universe." "Is it a TV series?" Rose asked. "Cos there is a movie with the same name." "Yeah." "And from the future I take it?" He nodded. "But that's just ridiculous." The Doctor spoke up. "Castithan's and other Voton races have been around for a very long time. The Votani Star System is somewhere in the Milky Way." "But the Gelth...they were the same..." Jaime cried. "...they said they were the same. They said I helped them escape the rift." "What? And they somehow found their way onto Helter?" Rose sounded doubtful. "Then they lied," the Doctor told the teenager. "Like last time." "But it might not have been me!" She squeaked and it only caused further confusion with Rose and the Doctor.
"She's still got it in her mind that she's going to turn into a Darth Vader type character." John told them. The Doctor sighed as Rose held the crying teenager in her arms. He had no idea why she would even think like that because the only time it ever happened was in the movies. Sure she had an IED type anger that was catastrophic with her abilities but he'd sorted that out now. There was no reason for her to cause devastating mayhem anymore. "Jaime, that is not going to happen. No-one would just randomly turn bad for no reason." "She's asleep." Rose stated. "Oh." "Long tiring day." John told them. "I'll take her to bed." John gathered the young girl into his arms and took her to her room where he laid her onto her bed. But when he tried to stand up he couldn't because Jaime had a handful of his shirt and wouldn't let go. "Come on!" She just grunted so he got in bed with her. Within seconds they had both fallen asleep in each others arms.
