The Arrival of the Doctor's Daughter
Jenny runs down the corridor of the large temple, and then around the corner. She presses her back up against the wall, catching her breath before shouting, "Hey, I was just trying to help!" She winces at the sound of approaching gunfire.

Apparently, they don't want her help. Never did, really.

Jenny had arrived on the planet only hours ago, her shuttle in need of refueling. Moments after getting out of her shuttle, she had literally run into a group of Malinaks. Malinaks are tall, thin, blue creatures with two bulging green eyes and eight tentacles that line the tops of their heads. They speak a sort of broken English, an English that is combined with another language she doesn't know so that she literally understands only every other word.

But she had very quickly realized that they were panicked. And it had something to do with a glowing crystal, some sort of religious artifact that was out of reach for the Malinaks. Well, this is what exploring is all about for Jenny! Exploring new planets, meeting new races, and helping out where she can. So she asked where this crystal was supposed to be, and they lead her straight to it. It was in the back of these black caves, stuck up in a high spot, but not unreachable. To be honest, she hadn't been able to understand why the Malinaks couldn't just retrieve it themselves. Or why they had seemed so worried, shouting warnings, as she nimbly climbed the cave wall and picked the crystal up.

Jenny shakes her head at the thought now, muttering to herself, "Religious artifact." Which is only apparently allowed to be touched by the head of the Malinak clan, who happens to be missing. Which is why the Malinaks had been so worried---they didn't know who would be able to retrieve it for their daily prayers. She mutters again, "Oh, yes, I know all that now. Fat lot of good it does me, I've already committed sacrilege."

The footsteps and the gunfire are getting closer and closer. Jenny scans the corridor for anything, any way out, but apparently she's hit a dead end. And then she looks up. Jenny can't help but grin. She jumps up, grabbing onto a metal bar, wrapping her arms and legs around it. She waits for the Malinaks to pass her, to walk right beneath her.

But they never come. Because soon Jenny is falling, hard and fast, but she can't remember ever letting go of the bar. And, in one eye blink, she is slamming into the concrete in the middle of Cardiff.

She hangs back around Ianto as they walk, for the sake of being nearer to someone familiar with all the surprises going on.

"Apparently they've never watched the children's movies that go on about that. 'Never say never...'. The TARDIS is that thing you used to travel in, right? Back when it was you and the Doctor and, uh... my father."

Now that's very awkward, really sinking in more that Rose knew her father back before he was... different.

Sorry for my delays, RL stuff!

	The Doctor catches up to them in the conference room, scratching at the back of his head. "Well now, this looks more...like a conference room." He shrugs and smiles. "As it should, I suppose." He smiles more broadly at Jenny, then Rose, sliding to take a seat next to her, reaching for her hand. "Were we talking about the TARDIS?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ianto feels he should be playing the host in Jack's absence. Actually, he's really more of the host type anyway. "Yes. Welcome to our boardroom. Please, sit down, make yourselves comfortable." He himself remains standing, in case anyone wants anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Jenny listens to Rose and Alice talk before breaking into the conversation with more of her questions, "So you do know my other dad! How long have you known him? Did you ever travel with him, like Donna? ...Do you know Donna?" She can't help but hope that Rose does know Donna, that maybe she can tell Jenny where she is, why it upsets one of her dads so much to even think about her. Because, as much as she wants to talk to her dad about it, she doesn't know how much he'll tell her. She's noticed that they both tend to bottle off their emotions at times, to try to deal with the harder things on their own.

"Were we talking about the TARDIS?"

She gives her father a sort of sad smile as she comes out of her thoughts, "Yeah. Yeah, we were."

Jenny sits down at Ianto's request, before asking him, "Aren't you going to sit as well?"

Rose blushes at Jenny as she starts peppering her with questions about the two men she loves.

Twirling her engagement ring she quietly nods her head, "Ohhh yeah I know your other Dad, quite well! Traveled with him two and Jack for awhile before I..." her voice trails off to nothing, as a little bit of sadness falls over her.

Rose breaths deeply a few times, regaining her composure before looking over to her Doctor, then to Ianto Alice and finally back to Jenny. She really isn't sure what to say about Donna, barely met her really and it pains the Doctor so much anytime her name is brought up. All she can offer Jenny right now is a quick glance, and a "uh-huh".

	He looks to Rose, seeing she's looking more upset and distressed. "Would you like some tea?" Although he prefers coffee, he knows he's in the minority, and it does tend to be more relaxing. (Reply to this) (Parent)
