A Time Lord was never late. He showed up exactly when he intended to. At least that was what the Doctor told his companions. The idea of a Time Lord being tardy was laughable, it was a bloody time machine - among other things. So no. Late was not a word that he liked admitting was in his vocabulary.
All the same there were reminders of the fact that this wasn't necessarily the case. He's spent the last few months traveling. He's met some interesting characters and had tried to put right some of what he had put wrong... Donna's fate still weighed on him. He had stayed away for some time, getting messages every now and again. Coming back, saving the day quietly - or as quiet as he could (he WAS the Doctor after all) and then heading back to the stars for more adventures! But things had shown him that he needed to be further grounded. It was for this reason that he'd been more than pleased to get a call from a very familiar number... or rather a message from a familiar number. He was a bit surprised to hear the date it had been left. He'd set the old girl's controls for Earth, hoping to get back shortly after the message had been left. But as he was wont to do, he overshot.

On the Plass, a familiar blue box started materializing.... Six months late.
"Jack! Something up top you should see," Gwen called out. She continued watching the screen as the blue police box finally solidified and appeared up on the Plass.
Jack looked down from the railing in the catwalk and asked, "What is it?"
"Let's just say that if you run off again with him, both Martha and I will likely kill you," she teased. "Go on. Best you go and get him before he wanders off and Martha doesn't get a chance to scold him." Gwen grinned and leaned back in her chair. "After all... She's only been waiting six months."
That got his attention. Jack raced down the stairs and hopped up onto the invisible lift's block. He activated it with his wrist strap and them used it to open a comm channel to Martha's office. "Martha? He's finally here. I'm going up top to go get him and bring him down!"
