He had followed the map in the journal, walked along the (badly) drawn streets past the (out of scale) buildings that he'd seen there and the (scalloped) forest.. but he had eventually found the barn pictured on the strange drawing, indicating that his later self would be staying here in this run-down wooden death trap. He wasn't sure he'd want to stay here, or that he'd want Rose in a place like this. She was here, after all, but he wasn't sure where yet. All he knew was that she was here, and she couldn't escape. Like the rest of them. But The Doctor was sure that he (both of him) would be able to get them out of this mess. At least the French-man that The Doctor (the later Doctor) had been talking to over the journals seemed nice enough, and if he was with Rose, and his later self trusted him, then he was even more thankful for that.

So he was nudging open the door and moving inside the barn, eyebrows lifting as his eyes adjusted to the lower light inside. "Hello? Is anybody home?" He called out into the crickety place, unsure he wanted to go in too much further, if he wasn't home. He was about to turn and head back out when he noticed the bed. Wait. Was it a bed? It almost looked like.. couches? Oh, he'd made himself a bed! He was so clever sometimes. And the smile that spread across his face was a proud one. He'd made himself a bed out of couches. Fantastic.

"I don't know." His simple answer for her not-so-simple question. Did he think everyone knew one another? Was it strange that so many people they knew were here? Did Remy have a friend or girlfriend here? He didn't know. And as for the bloke that the Frenchman kept calling 'the Doctor', well.. he'd just let that be lumped into the 'I don't know' category for now.

"But we'll figure it out." That was something he was sure of. Unsure of everything else.. but sure that they would be sure, soon. As complicated as that sounded. The Doctor often thought in complicated circles of logic. Sometimes they came out right, most of the time they came out right. Sometimes... not so much. But those times were rare.

"Glad you've made a friend though." Remy, he meant. And if his later self trusted him, then he was sure that he could trust him as well, and allow Rose to spend her time with him. She'd be safe with anyone the Doctor trusted. Either of them.

Her face broke into a teasing smile. "You're not always so thrilled when I make a friend," she reminded him playfully. Oi, this felt right. Laughing and joking with him again. It had only been a few days, at least in her mind, but it had felt like forever. Of course, she'd also thought he was dead. That tends to put a damper on things. "In fact, you usually get mad at me for... How is it you put it? Picking up people? Might remind you that you once picked me up!"

And she'd never regret running on to the TARDIS. Never once. No matter what they'd seen or done, or how many times they'd almost died--and there were plenty of those, certainly. No matter what, she was grateful for every second she'd spent following him through the time vortex. "You worked out a plan to get us out of here yet?" she questioned with a smile. Because that's what the Doctor did. She got them into scrapes, and he turned around and got them out. Not that she'd yet figured out how this one was her fault, but it might as well be.

"But you're not picking this one up." He reminded with a smile. "This one's going to be a big-glass-box friend. And when we leave, we're not taking him with us." He didn't mean that, of course.. okay, maybe he did. Once they let everyone out of the box, they were on their own. He'd take Rose and he'd get the heck away from this place and never look back. Or, at least, that was what he wanted to do, and that was what he would tell her that he'd do. But if this place was the only thing keeping him from regenerating, then when he left, he'd turn into Ten. And that'd be that.

No more adventures, no Barcelona. He might have said more, but a moment later, the barn door was opening and the Cajun was coming back in. He paused and faltered some when he saw the two, but then broke into a wide smile. It made the Doctor smile, too. This must have been the Frenchman. "Hello." He greeted with a wave.

The Cajun was indeed smiling, bright and large, and he lifted a hand and waved in return. That must have been the Other Doctor. Wow, they didn't look anything alike. At all. He was glad to know it.

"Bonjour." He greeted coolly, lifting his eyebrows at the two of them as he came nearer. "See you foun' uh frien', chere." He was coming over and stopping just a few feet from them, but didn't offer his hand out to the Doctor. Sure, it was the same guy, right? But this was the Doctor before his Doctor, so he wasn't quite ready to shake his hand. Not yet.

Rose grinned. "Big-glass-box friend?" she teased, draping her legs over his lap. He really was comfortable, she hadn't been lying in her thought of that. All men should be as good and sweet and wonderful as this one. It'd make life so much easier. "You sure we can't keep him? He's not as space age as Jack, but I'll bet he's a hell of a lot smarter than Adam." And much less out for himself.

And then, speak of the devil, the door opened and Rose swung herself to a more upright position. When Remy's face broke into a smile, however, she laughed. "Slept longer than I meant to. Wonder why that is?" But she couldn't fault him. Hell, it said a lot that he trusted her enough already to leave her there with the few positions he owned. "This is my friend...the one I mentioned to you? Turns out he's here, too. This is the Doctor. Doctor, meet my big-glass-box saviour, Remy."

"You've been looking after Rose?" He had noticed that the younger man hadn't extended out a hand, so he didn't, either. It wasn't always an Earth practice, but he could tell, from those eyes, that this man wasn't from Earth. At least, not any Earth that he'd ever known. But as soon as the man opened his mouth, he knew he wasn't French. That sounded like Cajun. He was Cajun. No one was Cajun anymore, Louisiana was under water, it was like the lost city of Atlantis.. unless this guy was from Rose's time. Or before then. He'd have to listen more closely to the accent.

"That's right, I'm the Doctor. Hello." His normal, casual greeting.

"Oui, she been lookin' af'er me, too." He laughed some and gave the girl a wink, before motioning them both over. He was moving over to one of the other couches, hauling it away from the wall and pushing it over to settle it across from the one holding his bed together, then moved around to plop down onto it comfortably. "Come an' si'. Comfy." He assured with a charming grin and lifted eyebrows.

"So, wha', you two travelin' par'ners?" He was only asking because he wanted them to tell him, he already knew the answer, just didn't want to spit it out without any reason to know it.

Strange that traveling should be his first assumption. Tennis partners, maybe, or work colleagues. But when he was right he was right and Rose wasn't going to deny him of that. "We are," she confirmed, hopping up and walking over to where he'd gestured. "For a while now. He's the ring leader, I'm just along for the ride." Seeing as the one time she had made the suggestion of where to go, she'd prevented time from unfolding as it should, she pretty much shut up and let him do the thinking from then on.

Looking up, she waved her hand in the Doctor's direction, beckoning him to join them. "Remy's from nineteen ninety-three," she supplied, her voice cheerful with conspiracy. "Isn't that insane? I mean, I know time is all weird and crazy and nothing's linear, but it's still the nuttiest thing I've ever heard."

The Doctor did come closer as she urged him near with that motion. "Nineteen ninety-three? Really? Does that make you a time traveler, Remy?" The big-eared man questioned with a smile that told the Cajun he knew what the other man knew. Because if this strange man was his later companion (odd as that might sound) then he already knew all about the TARDIS. He was simply double-checking that, prompting, trying to get a little more information before he gave up some of his own (or let Rose give it up).

"I guess 'dat depen's on wha' time it is now, non?" The younger man retorted smugly, snuggling back into his couch and bringing his arms in tighter around his body. "If it ain' nine'een-nine'y-t'ree, 'den yeah. Guess it make me one." Cheeky bastard, but that could have been one of the reasons that the Doctor liked him. Or one of the reasons that he disliked him. Time Lord knew.

"So where you two travelin' from, anyway? Ain' from 'roun' here, non? Ain' locals." As he said that, he turned his head to settle red eyes directly onto Rose, with a smile. A smile that practically screamed 'cat that ate the canary'. It had to be a little off putting. He knew what they were-- but then again, so had Jack Harkness. So it wasn't that rare to get someone who called them out for what they were, and the Doctor didn't look concerned in the least.
