The Doctor's eyes fell on Jack and the glare was back. "I come when I'm needed," he said sharply. "You know that better than anyone!" The Skrulls were dangerous! And they had taken Martha! No one had even told him about this! How dare he insinuate otherwise!
He was fuzzy on that point in time. His memory not quiete being what it should have been. The Zero Room... it hadn't had the desired effect. Whatever Doom had done it had effected him. Greatly.
Gwen's interruption kept Martha from doing it... She'd seen this before. While she didn't know where this animosity came from - she'd never bothered to ask - it was like... One minute they were buddy-buddy and the next they'd be glaring at one another. The two of them... Meanwhile Rob was just staring at the Doctor. This was an alien? He didn't LOOK like an alien. He looked like them. Well...
The Doctor's eyes never left Jack. He didn't stand up, remained sitting. He glanced at Martha, watching her as he replied, his tone more gentle. "You know I'll help." And then his eyes were back on Jack, his tone a bit more tight. They weren't giving him the information he needed. Still. "What sort of issue are we talking about? What did the Skrulls do and what sort of thing is this affecting?"
Now it was Martha's turn. "Over the last few years I've been exposed to more than a few unusual external stimuli. There's the Artron energy, Reset, whatever the skrulls did. It could be the use of Jack's vortex manipulator," she shook her head with a roll of her eyes, getting to the point. "Hell it could really be anything! The point is that I'm healing. And I shouldn't be. Truth be told I shouldn't be this healthy right now." She glanced at Jack with a small tilt of her head. She was concerned, but was - for the sake of the room's peace - trying to put everyone at ease. "Or at very least I should have clawmark scars across my chest."
The Doctor's eyes widened and his attention was fully on Martha. "What happened?!" He seemed a bit panicked.
"Unfortunate run in with a Weevle on the Plass about five months back. It got too close. I was fine fifteen minutes later. Same night we found out I was pregnant."
There was some fire in the Doctor's eyes. How had this happened? Getting her the job at UNIT had been perfect for her. Medicine! It had been what she did... And even the incident with the Sontarans and the Stolen Earth it had been HIM that had put her in direct danger...
