For Martha, the Year That Never Was was only a few months ago. While she had been dealing with it pretty well, she had mostly been repressing it. In truth, she continued to battle nightmares and moments where she got extremely sad, but she didn't want to admit it to anyone - She didn't want it getting back to the Doctor. Especially not what he was already feeling down and she definitely didn't want to be the one to make the new Doctor sad as well.

The party she had gone to had been nice, but at some point it hit her hard and she excused herself from the party. This was another year without her family, though thankfully this time they were slaves to the Master.

Martha found herself in a park and sat on the bench, her arms wrapping around herself from the chill in the air. Her eyes looked over the play structure and smiled bittersweetly. She had been in Ohio before. She wondered, not for the first time, if she had ever visited Madison Valley. A lot of the smaller places lost their names once the Master took over. She frowned suddenly, her hand slipping into her pocket and pulling out a pin she always had on her in one form or another. Her thumb smoothed over the words 'Hooray! I am Nine!'. Aleesha liked playgrounds, she remembered her saying. Martha remembered the other keepsakes she had back at the apartment, having come with them by sheer chance. All of them by people who had died for her.

Sometimes she knew how the Doctor felt.

Martha closed her eyes and fought the sting against her eyes. She was not going to cry in the middle of a park on Christmas Eve.

	"I drink a lot." It wasn't a joke. Faith kind of held onto her shit by her fingernails some days. "Get into fights, the usual. Live for the moments they let the bad shit in and I get to do what I'm made for." Being a weapon made it really hard to enjoy the times of peace. She got an actual itch to hurt and kill things like someone jonesing for a fix. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The 'drink a lot' comment reminded her of Constantine. She wondered what he was trying to deal with. She wasn't sure she would ever be in a position to ask, but she was curious. "You were made for?" Martha had caught that party. Surely she wasn't made simply to fight. People were more complex than that, or she liked to think so anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She might not like the answers if he told her. Faith had spent enough time around Constantine to find out he had some shit in his past that was a lot like hers.

"I'm a Slayer. It's a thing...like mystical one girl in all the world does it sort of thing. At least until lately. Used to be lots of potential Slayers and only one picked but they broke that and now all of the potentials are Slayers. We fight." And if you didn't get enough of it you really, really, missed it and if you were Faith you made stupid decisions sometimes because of it.

	"Slayer. Got it." She nodded and wondered vaguely if the Doctor knew anything about it. Had he, or she, ever run into Slayers before? She filed away the question for later when she saw one of them. "I'm more made for healin'." She lifted her hands up as if she say 'see? Healing hands.' "I'm a doctor at the clinic, if you ever get hurt and need some help." (Reply to this) (Parent)
