Re: Martha and Jack
Martha glanced at Jack and smiled. He was doing it again, flirting with her. It felt nice. He had flirted with her like that when they first met, too. But she was too in love with the doctor to really enjoy it. Then their relationship had changed. They had become real friends. Jack still flirted with her sometimes. It was just who he was, but it felt more playful that anything else. He wasn't really trying to get anywhere with her anymore, especially since she was engaged to Thomas. But that was over now. She and Thomas split up. When she was promoted and went to New York to work for UNIT there, they had realized that they just didn't belong together anymore. They hardly saw eachother and they weren't part of eachothers lives. He barely knew her, not the way he did in the year that never was, when she started to fall for him.
Looking at Jack now she wondered what would happen if she did flirt back. Was there a chance that something would develop between them? No, probably not. Jack wasn't the guy for a serious relationship and she wasn't the type for affairs. He might just break her heart and she couldn't let that happen. On some days it felt like her heart was still in pieces. She wouldn't let it shatter anymore.
She then pushed away all those thoughts. They were stupid anyway. Jack was a great friend and that was how it was supposed to be.
"Yes, I did. It was Rose", she told him. Some time ago Martha would have hated to speak about Rose, feeling way too jealous of her. But that had changed. She had moved on and then she even met Rose. She still hardly knew her, but she thought she liked her. Rose had that infectious smile about her. Maybe, if they ever met again she could get to know her and they might actually become friends. Who knew.
"She absorbed the timevortex to get back to the doctor and turned into Bad Wolf. She destroyed the entire Dalek fleet and brought you back to life. The doctor said she however couldn't really control it and brought you back forever." Martha didn't really understand how it was possible or what Rose was like as Bad Wolf. She had just overheard the doctor and Jack talking over the communication system. She wasn't even there to ask questions. Not that she wanted to. It felt like a private conversation.
