Ascension

She doesn’t understand what’s happening to him, her human Doctor.

The wracking coughs, the night sweats, the vomiting.

As she places a cool flannel to his sweaty brow, she has a feeling that it’s only going to get worse.

***

He first comes to her in a dream.

Soothing voice, calm. He whispers soft, encouraging words and makes her remember that she’s not alone. She never has been.

Can’t see him though.

The Doctor lays shaking beside her, but strangely enough, she feels relaxed.

***

“What’s happening to him?”

“He’s dying.”

“But he can’t, not yet.”

“His body is still linked to the original…”

“What’s happened to him.”

“He regenerated.”

“And he,” she indicates to the human Doctor’s sleeping form, “is human but is trying to do the same?”

“Yes.”

***

“I can’t leave him.”

It’s the first time she’s seen him. Blond hair, slight stubble.

She likes what she sees but still, she shouldn’t accept his offer, not with the Doctor like this.

But the feeling of being tied down is killing her though and he each time he visits, he makes her yearn for travel just that little more.

“There’s nothing you can do for him. I need you. We could be so beautiful together.”

She only feels the slightest hint of guilt when she picks up the dimension cannon and fixes the co-ordinates she was told so long ago now.

***

She falls into his arms in a heap and he places a kiss firmly on her lips.

It’s only a matter of minutes before they fall into bed.

Once sated, he feels whole again. His body has stabilised, finally. All he’d needed artron energy to complete the transition and to stop himself from dying. It still lingers around her. Even after all this time, the big, Bad Wolf holds an inherent power over her.

He was never going to get it from the last existing TARDIS, but this made a suitable consolation prize.

And it’s only a matter of time until he will be her Master.

***

She’s his pretty, blonde Rose now.

Just as pliable as dear, sweet Lucy had been.

There’s nothing that can stop him now.

And the look on the Doctor’s new, young face makes it so worth it.
