Chapter 2

After getting The Doctor dressed, Clara found herself in the kitchen with River, while Brian was at the store getting some groceries. Clara had made some coffee for herself and River, River was reading her Journal.

They had also tried to get into the TARDIS but even with their keys she wouldn't open. River then realized that she was remodeling and would let them in later. That's when they decided to go into the kitchen to talk.

Clara wasn't sure how to start the conversation, last time she saw River was during Trenzalore with the Great Intelligence, but she was a ghost or a data ghost. But this time she's seeing the real flesh and blood one. The Doctor had told her about his many encounters with River in random moments of her time stream and started to make sense to her due to her traveling with him.

"So, The Doctor never told me about what happened to Amy and Rory. I saw a glimpse of them when I was in The Doctor's Time Stream. Just what happened… if you want to tell me." She added.

River closed her Journal and sighed," Well, I was there and I know for a fact he didn't tell you. It happened in New York and we just dealt with the Weeping Angels… do you know what they are?"

Clara recalled her first encounter back on her second time on Trenzalore and how she and The Doctor were surrounded by them in the snow. It wasn't fun, nor being naked in the snow, even though The Doctor used holographic clothes or whatever; but she knew what they were.

"Sorta but it's a long story. I take it you know more about them?"

"Yes, they're the oldest beings in the Universe, Quantum-Locked, the only way they could move is when it's either dark or when no is looking. They eat Time Energy or any power source and by touching someone, they send them to a different time period and they feed off the days they would have spent in their original timeline.

Now, after we had dealt them when we were in New York, Rory saw a grave that had his name and that set his fate and he was sent back when a remaining Angel touched him. Amy became very distraught and The Doctor tried to talk her out of going after him. She was always stubborn but she had made up her mind. She said goodbye to him, turned around and was send back with the gravestone next to Rory's had her name on it, leaving The Doctor and I."

Clara wiped a tear from the corner of her eye. The Doctor never really told her what had happened to Amy and Rory or to his other companions. It hurt too much for him and she understood her boundaries when asking about former companions. Even though for her she had seen and sometimes met his companions from her echoes. The Doctor had told her that she wouldn't see any of her echoes memories and if she did, then he said it wouldn't matter because they weren't her and she how he said"The one and only Clara Oswin Oswald". That helped and she did occasionally have flashbacks of sorts on the matter but it wasn't like she had headaches or anything but it was saddening to see herself or whoever the person was to die.

"You knew didn't you? The Doctor told me they were your parents, why didn't you try to save them?"

River sighed and said," Fixed Point, we couldn't do anything without the universe going haywire. Also, The Doctor can't go anywhere near New York during the time period they were sent. It takes centuries until he can even go to that time period in that location."

"Can't he just go to like maybe New Jersey or something and walk there?" Clara asked.

River raised an eyebrow and then thought about it for a second and said," I think it still applies but I'm not sure, you have to him or her yourself when she wakes up."

"I guess that idea is bullocks then. So, what now?"

River got up and said," You'll have to help her through this and be there for her."

"You're going to stay?" Clara asked surprised.

"Sorry duty and work calls, I would tell you but some of it are spoilers." She said the last part with a mischievous smile.

"The Doctor warned me about you saying that. I could tell it eats at him." Clara said with a grin.

"I'll make sure the next time I see him I'll tell him. And something more." River said with wink and disappeared in a flash of light.

Clara was blushing when she said the last part and she was left by herself in the kitchen. She got up and went to the living room where The Doctor was still sleeping off her Regeneration. Clara placed her coffee on the table and gave The Doctor a sympathetic look. She got closer, fixed her pillow and took a look at The Doctor's sleeping form.

"Doctor worry Doctor; we'll get through this together." She soothingly said.

She heard some sounds of machinery and people outside, she didn't see any construction crews outside so she decided to check it out. She got up and walked to the door and opened it. She found people in uniform jogging across the long and was a perimeter of sorts around the front of the house and some were looking at the TARDIS. She recognized them as UNIT and she saw Kate Stewart and her Osgood walking towards her. The last time she had saw them was during the whole Zygon, Time War crisis.

"Ah Clara, nice to see you again, I see The Doctor has made another one of his entrances?" Kate said.

Clara got out closed the door and said," Yeah he has Kate… may I ask what you are doing here?"

"Reports came in saying something about a blue box that crashed into someone's yard and it didn't have to take a genius to know it was The Doctor."

"That happened 15 minutes ago, what took you so long?"

"Another issue was taking our time and we finally got the chance to come here. So, where is he?"

"Weelll… She's sleeping off her Regeneration in the house."

"Huh, my father told about that and… wait, she?" Kate asked, slightly confused.

"Wow." Osgood said.

Clara fought back a groan from all the stuff that had happened for the past couple of hours or however long it has been and said, "Yeah, it's a long story but she did and she now has the face of someone you might know."

Clara then opened the door and let everyone in. She also thought of what Brian would think of all this once he got back, but that was a bridge that would be crossed later. When they got to the couch, Kate was surprised to see Amelia Pond lying down on the couch.

"Well, this is interesting. Alright, I want you to stay and look after The Doctor and TARDIS. It's a miracle that The Doctor's enemies haven't caught wind of this. Osgood, get Malcolm on the line and tell him to scan for anything." Kate ordered.

The UNIT soldiers who were inside nodded and proceeded to secure the house with Osgood went on the phone to relay Kate's orders.

"Do you need anything?" Kate asked.

"No, I'll wait until she wakes up."

"Then we'll be outside then." Kate said and closed the door once she was outside.

Clara sat in a chair and sighed deeply with everything had happened today. She turned on the TV and was about to change the channel when she heard a moan. She looked at The Doctor, who looked like she was staring to wake up.

"Doctor?" Clara hopefully said.

The Doctor didn't open her eyes but said," How long was I out?"

"About a couple of hours, you just missed River. UNIT is outside guarding you and the TARDIS. "

The Doctor finally opened her eyes and tried to get up but went back down when a sharp pain went through her head. She yelped a little and held her head.

"Are you alright?" Clara asked concerned.

"J-just fine, just aftershocks." She said through gritted teeth.

"Do you need anything? I could get-"

"What I need is you to shut up Clara." The Doctor angrily said.

Clara narrowed her eyes and said, I know you're not feeling well but don't bark at me."

The Doctor then started to relax and said," Sorry, Regeneration is tough… wait, where are we and why does it look familiar?" The Doctor said as she looked around.

"We crashed into someone's yard that you know, Brian Williams."

The Doctor had a raised eyebrow and said," Why are we… oh right. So what happened while I was out?"

"River was here and then left, UNIT is outside right now. They came when reports of a blue box started to come in."

The Doctor got up again and sat at the edge of the couch. She looked at herself and frowned.

"Who's clothes are these?"

"There Amy's Pajamas, Brian had a box full of Amy's and Rory's old clothes."

The Doctor's face clouded in confusion again, and Clara guessed she had forgotten she had changed genders and taken on Amy's face when she regenerated.

"Now why would I need…oh." The Doctor realized and her face fell.

Clara had never seen The Doctor so sad and depressed. She had seen The Doctor have her moments before but this one was different.

"Out of the infinite faces in the Universe… I get one my deepest regrets." The Doctor whispered.

"Doctor, things happen for a reason and it's a part of life." Clara said, trying to help.

The Doctor looked at Clara with a pained expression that then turned to anger and said," Part of life?! Clara, I have been to one part of the Universe to the next, witnessed the birth and death of the Universe itself, had 11 faces with number 12 being someone I cared for deeply, the first face I saw when I Regenerated. Who that I might add, I last saw in tears and was about to be sent to the past to the man she loved."

Tears started to form but The Doctor continued," I had known Amelia since she was 7; I was there when she was at her happiest and lowest when I came back for her. I cared for her and Rory, not just because they would be my future in-laws when I married River but I was a part of their family and I loved them. Now, I have a reminder of her, not just in my best and worst memories but her face and body until I Regenerate again. I have lost many people that I considered family over the centuries but those two are the freshest and it was my job to keep them safe but I didn't Clara… I didn't."

The Doctor tears started to flow freely and Clara gave her a hug which The Doctor hugged her back.

Clara had never seen The Doctor like that before, sure she had seen her sad but she always kept to herself and would voice her emotions when needed. But now she had lowered her walls, and was letting all her sorrow out. Clara knew that The Doctor wouldn't feel closure for quite some time but she had seen another side of The Doctor that few had seen.

The Doctor soon calmed down and was sitting with her face her hands, sniffing with tears. Clara gave her box of tissues and put a comforting hand on her shoulder and The Doctor looked up.

"We'll get through this Doctor, I promise you." Clara smiled reassuringly.

The Doctor grinned a little and said," Thanks Clara, I needed that but there is still a small issue."

"What's that?"

The Doctor then had an embarrassed look and looked like she was trying to come up with something and then said," Well… I'm a girl now, and I may now have to wear makeup and women's clothing… can you… help me with that?"

Clara was silent for a second, processing what The Doctor had said. She then burst into laughter with tears forming her eyes a minute later. And she clutched her stomach as soon as the laughter pain came.

"Oi!" The Doctor cried indigently with a blush.

"I-I'm sorry D-Doctor, yes I-I'll help. Oh blimey." Clara said as she calmed down.

The Doctor rolled her eyes and said," Thanks, now lets go talk to Kate and head to the TARDIS." She said and got up.

"Actually Doctor we can't, I tried to open the door but it won't budge."

"Oh... huh, the old girl must be remodeling herself then. Ok, then we should talk to Kate then."

Clara nodded and they both walked to the door and walked outside. But there was a lot more activity outside and Kate was fast walking to them with a concerned look. Clara had noticed Brian was talking to a couple of UNIT personal as well.

"Kate, good to see you again, thanks for the guarding but I'm-"

"That could wait for later Doctor, we have a crisis and we need you."

The Doctor groaned and said," Great, changed the look and already there is a crisis. What's going on?"

"Cybermen Doctor, they're appearing all over London." Kate gravely said.

That's it for that chapter! I hope I got the emotions right and I'm going to use elements from Dark Water and Death in Heaven with a lot of changes. Comment, fav and I hope you liked it.
