Who: The Tenth Doctor, the Ninth Doctor & Remy LeBeau
Where: The Museum
When: Day 20, 7:15am
What:  Remy wakes up and is attacked by birds!
Rating: PG-13
Status: Complete

After dropping the young Doctor off at the gym, Remy had decided to head back towards his barn, sniffling and sneezing the entire way there. The Doctor had been right, he'd spent the entire day in the rain the previous day, and now he had a cold. It was awful. So he'd laid around in his large bed in the barn for a while until the sun had gone down and he'd headed back over to the gym to glance in on the kids. After watching for a bit, he had finally decided to sleep in town tonight, instead of way out in his barn, so that when the others awoke, he'd know quickly if they were still children, or if they had returned to their normal state. So the red-head had staked out a place to sleep not too far away from the museum, and had settled down on a park bench on his back and had tipped his fedora low over his eyes to get some sleep.

Come morning, he had felt someone tugging at his sleeve.. then the tugging turned to pinching. And it was only when his hat was knocked away and tons of little hands were pinching him that he finally opened his eyes and realized that they weren't little hands at all-- they were beaks. Bird beaks. About fifteen of the dark animals were pecking at him, grabbing at his clothing, tearing his duplicate coat, biting through his clothes, causing his flesh to bleed. And as he sat up and started swatting them away with gloved hands, they got more vicious. They pecked at his face, sliced open his cheek, his lip, above his right eyebrow, all along his arms through his clothes, his jeans-- and all the red-head could do for the moment was break into a run to try and escape them, shouting curses in French and Lord knows what other languages. He just barely made it up the stairs, in his torn and ruined coat, before he forced open a door of the museum and stumbled inside, actually tripping on the doorstop and falling inside onto his knees, before he quickly spun around and threw up both gloved hands against that door and slammed it loudly closed, locking the birds out.

And locking everyone else in.

The Cajun was panting hard and was quickly pushing back up to his feet so that bloody hands (they'd pecked at his exposed fingers, the pinky and pointer on both hands) and had caused them to bleed) could flip the old lock on the door and hold it shut, then he leaned forward against it. He didn't know what was going on, but he certainly didn't like it. Not one bit. It was like a freaking Alfred Hitchcock movie!

"I thought I'd changed in that last regeneration. But I haven't, have I? Martyr." And he was exhaling a breath and shaking his head, not at Ten, but rather at himself. "I thought you were my chance to be happy, but you're not, are you?" However, that was the last thing he'd say of it. He was letting it go. For now. Don't get him started again, Ten.

"I'll take care of her. You take care of him." And that was how it should go.

"Oh, calling names doesn't suit you, Doctor. First jealousy now names? Starting to think we're more self loathing than I thought." Cheeky grin, couldn't help it.

"I'm plenty happy, outside this place. Have my TARDIS, travelling around with Donna. Quite happy, actually," he mused. He was happy. Very happy. He just wasn't happy here, in this place with the hand he'd been dealt. Couldn't fault someone for not being happy here, could you Nine? "Managed to meet the most curious woman just the other day," he was thinking of River Song, the woman who knew his name. "Love to tell you more about her..." Except he didn't know much more than that. Spoilers.

"He's not a dog, Doctor. He doesn't need me chasing after him and taking care of him. Not a plant, either."

Careful, Doctor. The more reckless Time Lord was already on edge. You'd set him off with those comments about Rose and now this? While he couldn't fault him for not being happy here, he could fault him for being.. well.. himself. For being what he was becoming, in this place. He had met him before, before this-- or perhaps it was after? He wasn't really sure. And that actually prompted a suddenly curious expression to come over his face and he leaned just a little, bending at the waist. Sorry, Doctor, you could continue your argument in a moment, once he'd puzzled this out.

"Have you met me? Like this. Not me, but.. another me. Have you run in to us yet?" Was that before or after this whole mess? And really, did it matter? This wasn't supposed to happen, they weren't supposed to be in this place, or Ten would remember it all, he'd remember being stuck here, know how they got out. And just as he asked, he realized that, shaking his head some as if to clear it.

"He's not a dog, nor a plant. Neither is she, but you're still asking me to chase after her, take care of her. What makes them so different, Doctor?" The thousand dollar question.

It appeared that Nine was finally reaching the same sort of conclusion that Ten had. "You and me? Like this? We haven't met before. I'd remember it. I don't." He tried to look serious. Tried so very hard to look serious about it. You know why he was cheeky about it, didn't you? It was because this was all outside of time. It was all new and brilliant (despite it's terrible nature) and that made it exciting. It wasn't that he enjoyed seeing people hurt or worse. It was that thrill of now knowing what might happen next. You felt it too, didn't you Nine?

"The only time I've met the Doctor like this was during that celery phase we went through. Comparatively the version in the leather jacket and the one with the Chucks were fashionistas. "We really are outside time, I think." Really, really outside time.

"Because she loves you." That, dear Doctor, was what was different. "She says so. Really says so one day."

Nine did feel it, he was realizing it, and he was slowly lifting his eyebrows. They were outside of time. This place.. would they even remember what happened when they left? No. They couldn't remember. If they did, Ten would know. Ten would remember. This place was.. impossible. When they left here, would it be like this had never happened at all? Would they forget everything? Would they remember it like it was a dream?

The Doctor was coming to that same point you were, Time Lord. And it showed on his face as he slowly began to smile, before that full-blown grin was settled there and he looked over at the older man expectantly. "You're right. Outside time, completely." And with this said, he was taking another look around the room, as if he was seeing it all for the first time.

Then blue eyes snapped back to brown. "She loves me." It was as much a question as it was a statement. "And he feels nothing for you?" Nine really had no idea what was going on between Ten and Remy. Perhaps, if he did, he might be able to better understand. But he didn't.

Well, look, the older Time Lord had lead the younger one to water and he was actually drinking. He was figuring it out. He was picking up on that very large present that Ten was trying to give him.

"She does," his own smile went wide. He, at least, had heard her say it to him, in that teary moment on the edge of Bad Wolf Bay. "She really does," perhaps not as much as she did then; well, he was never really sure when it all came together for her. Though, he was pretty sure that she'd loved that big eared man first. Wasn't a challenge really, just an observation. He wasn't competing with you, Nine; just thinking.

He'd dodge that question about Remy. It wasn't important.

"And that's why you've got to..." He didn't even bother trying to finish that statement. He'd let Nine finish it all on his own.

"She does." He repeated, pale eyes lighting up some as he did. But then it all came crashing down again and he looked away before looking back once again, trying to puzzle it out in his head before he spoke up again. "But I don't. I can't." He couldn't. But it didn't mean he didn't. It was confusing for him. He was so hard, so angry, so bitter.. there wasn't enough room in his heart for love. At least, that was what he believed. He loved her, yes, he knew he did.. but could he love her the way he was sure Ten loved her? No, he didn't think so. Eventually, she'd get the better Doctor, but for now..

Blue eyes lowered to his shoes, then up to the desk Ten was standing near once again. And it was tot hat desk that he asked his next question, mind so focused on Rose and his own problems that he no longer wanted to discuss them. Let him work them out and he'll get back to you. Five minutes.

"What does he feel for you?" Don't think he hadn't noticed that you'd dodged that question, Ten. It meant something was up. It meant there was more behind that story. More importantly: "What do you feel for him?"

"You do and you can," he responded more quitely. He knew what must be churning in the other Time Lord's stomach, he had been him once upon a time. He had felt those same feelings and knew what dared to stir in the back of his mind and the very bottom of his heart.

He wasn't better than you, Time Lord. When it came down to it, he was really just the same as you. Just a bit more pep in his step and a little bit more openness with his feelings. Though, have no fear those doors shuttered up pretty tightly once she was gone. They'd stayed latched, too, at least until very recently.

"Infatuation, perhaps, but we're used to that." Which didn't explain why he ran and pushed so hard, now did it. Didn't explain why he wanted to break that heart now to keep from really breaking it later. "Nothing," he said, looking those blues dead on. He could lie to himself, he was fairly good at that. "Like you said, you'll take care of her and I'll handle him." See how neatly it all came together for you, Nine?

He took those first words without a glance up, without a reaction, he just listened, he understood, and he filed it away. He'd think about it later, Doctor. Right now? He wanted to think about anything else. And guess what? You were there. You and your problems.

"It's not infatuation, we're used to that, we've had that, and never once have we run away so fast, fought so hard, or wanted so badly to keep someone like that from harm. That's what you're doing, isn't it? Chasing him away because you don't want to hurt him. Because he deserves better." Oh, he hadn't forgotten you'd said that. You could lie to him all you wanted, Doctor.. but you were smarter than that. And that was the hell of it, wasn't it? You were too smart to believe your own lies. "You wouldn't fight so hard if you felt nothing for him." Observed in that more quiet tone. "What do you feel for him?"

"Oh, it's infatuation. Hardly even knows me. Hasn't seen the TARDIS. Doesn't know anything," he dismissed Nine. "Maybe I'm just a kindler, gentler vesion of you." Maybe he was.

"I have a thing for not hurting people. It's sort of a habit, actually. Give them warnings and a chance when I can. So, that's what i'm doing for him. I'll keep him from getting hurt. I like people and he's a person after all. He's a person caught up in this place same as you and me. No sense letting him beat himself to bits." Oh, look, he'd rambled a lot there and said nothing at all. Masterful, actually. You talked enough and people couldn't really listen. Forget that he wasn't talking to just anyone for a moment, yes?

He didn't look away from Nine's piercing gaze. No, he'd take it and give it right back. "So, call it pity."

Lies. All lies.

"Hasn't seen the TARDIS, so he's not using you for it. Doesn't know the worst or the best things about you, so he's unbiased. Yeah, it sounds like infatuation." Could you hear the sarcasm there, Time Lord? The more the denied things, the more you were letting on to the fact there was something more. The more you made him wonder.

The more you made him want the truth. If you were anyone else, he would have walked away by now.. but you were him and he needed to know. "It seems to me like you have a thing for not hurting people, but you have a thing for hurting him. Run out of ways to hurt yourself, Doctor?" Why else would he be acting that way with someone else? Nine hadn't actually seen it happen, but he'd seen the after effects twice now, on both sides, and he'd heard the way the Doctor was talking. Knew he was avoiding.

Knew he was lying.

"He isn't beating himself to bits. You are. That's not pity." Shot down, Ten. Try again.

Actually he knew the worst. The angry, terrible side. He knew the difficult and fierce bits. He knew that cruel manner he had with words when he was hurt. He knew that terrible look and the way he'd actually swat and hit when things became just too damned hard. Oh, he knew the worst. Yet, he still came back for more. He kept coming back like a cold. Kept sneaking up on him like a bloody stone angel. "Can't help that he's irrational."

Poker face in place, thank you. "Of course it's pity. I'm sorry that he makes me act that way toward him. I'm sorry that he's left me no choice at all. Completely irrational, actually. Totally stubborn and relentless. Won't listen to reason or logic. That's a terrible way to be, don't you think?"

He paused and finally looked away. "You have more important things to worry about than him, Doctor." And you did. Really.

"You're rambling, Doctor." It was a calm observation as he stared a few seconds longer, then nodded in agreement with the following statement. He did have more important things to worry about than Remy LeBeau. He had Rose Tyler. He had Sarah Jane. He had Jack Harkness. He had all the people inside this bubble and he had to get them all out. He had the people running this place.

And he had the older version of himself.

But he came last. He always came last. The younger Time Lord was turning then, taking those steps back to the door before he tugged it open, glancing over his shoulder once more at Ten. "What is he?" Questioned at last.

"That's what I do, this version, I ramble. Frequently." He couldn't help the grin. He liked that he rambled, often at a thousand words a minute. He liked that he didn't often censor himself or keep things held all bottled up. Well, unless it concerned one Rose Tyler or one Remy LeBeau. Then he'd bottle them up quite securely and keep them to himself. Well, that and the Time War. And the Master. His Family. Frankly, when it came down to it, he rambled about the things that didn't matter, and he did so copiously.

"A fantastic link in the chain of human evolution," he said cheekily. "You ought to see what he can do, Doctor." Look at that smile as it hung there, sad and laced with happiness at the same time. "It's brilliant." He's brilliant.

A link in the chain of human evolution? Those words made the Doctor's eyebrows raise up in a very curious fashion. You should have told him that long ago, Ten, and he never would have felt ill towards the ginger Cajun. .. Okay, maybe he would have. But he still would have been very interested.

"What can he do?" The younger Doctor asked after a few seconds of silence. What could humans do? Not much. He was very knowledgeable about human evolution. Of course he was-- but he couldn't remember them doing anything. Especially not anything brilliant. They went out into the universe and they danced and that was it. Nothing more happened, they didn't evolve into anything great or amazing.. Jack Harkness was proof enough of that. They just.. mated with other species, became new humans, proto-humans, humanish.. but there was nothing spectacular and new, certainly nothing that would make his face light up like Ten's just had. There was a touch of sadness there too, which was a little off setting. But he almost looked.. proud? Nine didn't understand.
