Who:Nine and Martha
What:Things
When:Today
Where:the TARDIS
Warnings:TBA

Gallifreyans healed faster than the average human. Most of Nine's injuries had already healed, the physical anyway. The mental were still large and in charge. Though he'd become rather silent since the war, he still hovered those he considered his. He'd even begun to adopt Becker. The man was living in his TARDIS, injured and belonged to Jack. Jack was still his even if he was sort of an abomination. Nine wasn't feeling a need to abandon him just yet. Even though he did feel wrong every time he was near and made him twitch. He was trying to cut back on the twitching as much as he were able anyway. He checked on Martha too when he thought she wasn't looking. And then to Roses room where he checked even though he knew she wouldn't be there. He'd lost Rose. The TARDIS was barely even home without her.

He was angry, so very angry and it showed in his eyes. Since he'd arrived he'd ome to realize maybe it would take a little more than sonic and hugs to protect her from this words dangers. To protect all those he considered under his protection. He wasn't doing much today, he couldn't bring himself to move very far from where he'd started. He was tired physically. Not getting a lot of sleep worrying over everyone. He'd never needed much to begin with, but some for basic function would have been great. Unfortunately his dreams were still plagued with nightmares. Mostly of the Bad Wolf. The TARDIS, and his home.

The TARDIS seemed a little petulant at him for even thinking she was less home because Rose was gone. Rose would be back, he could feel the tugging at the back of his min but he didn't feel like paying it any attention. He was still too angry. He'd begun to distance himself from those occupying his ship, only really appeared to check on them and make sure they were still alive and then vanish again without saying word one. Sometimes he made sure they saw him, other times he didn't care. He'd hung around Becker until he was conscious and then went to putter around the main Console room. He didn't feel a need to change it from the last regeneration's console. He was okay with change, in fact it looked a little nice. Bit more put together than what he was used to. He briefly wondered what the other versions of him were like.

He left the center of the TARDIS and went to sit on one of it's many ramps above. Looking down on the room with his head against a rail and feet hanging over the edge he frowned. He was starting to feel more than a little useless in this world. Rose hadn't been wrong when she said this was her turf. He didn't want to admit it out loud but he was more displaced on Earth than he ever felt in space. For the first time, he felt it.

He was preoccupied. Martha could understand that, oh how she could. Every waking thought she had, and they were many because sleep was an issue, was of Rose and Tony, where they were, what they were going through. In one go she had lost her boyfriend and her best friend, and she frequently felt as though she was going to completely lose it.

"Hey, we're a curious species, us females in particular." She smirked as well, though hers was much less manic. "And how can we resist, a mysterious stranger comes along and invites us to see all of time and space. Not many could refuse that." She hadn't. A mad man in a box, offering her everything, and she had taken it.

"Rose still hates you calling us apes," Martha reminded him softly. "She's lost, not gone. We're going to get her back, her and Tony and the others. You have to hold on to that." It was what Martha told herself every day, repeatedly, or she would go mad herself.

The Doctor in many ways was a genius, but this world was out of even his realm of knowledge. It was not a version of the Earth he'd been to. At least he was fairly sure it wasn't. Everything was different. There was an apocalypse, a battle between hell and heaven. The Earth he knew of the battle was between space and world of humans. This world had yet to even really reach the stars. They had space programs, sure but they hadn't pushed the boundaries. It was almost cute. And yet, he felt for them. He always had a soft spot for humanity for the exact reason Martha stated. They were so curious. So not unlike him, he could connect with them.

They didn't want to rule the world-well most of them didn't anyway. There were a few now and then who wanted the world and the universe, but generally speaking he could see the planets true potential. It's true beauty through them. "I should hope not. I'd be concerned for your future if you could. Nothing in the world like experiencing. It isn't always easy but I wouldn't trade it for anything. " That wasn't entirely true, they both knew if there was a way he could have saved his people he probably would have tried. However even the Doctor knew that simply wasn't possible.

He gave her a grin that was slightly less manic than before, a bit sad really. He didn't entirely grasp this cage thing. It felt like they were dead and gone, but she insisted they weren't. He liked her version better than the worst things that played out in his, but it still worried him. He dangled his feet over the edge of the walk ramp idly and finished his sandwich.

"Right. Course we will." He tried to sound reassuring. That was reassuring wasn't it?
