After hearing my name, he looked confused, most likely because they had thought that the Doctor and the Master were the only ones who came to Earth " its complicated but our home is lost to us I survived and lived on Earth for a couple of months, I grew to love the place despite how stupid humans can be at times, and don't worry not another master if that's what your worried about, I am more of an in between, I have no desire to rule but if you, harm those I care about I won't hesitate, so far that list is short" hearing my warning the leader of the unit solders gulps audible.
The Doctor looks at me before speaking, "No need to scare him" I say nothing to his words, and he continues. The doctor looks at the unit soldiers before speaking again," What he forgot to mention is that the Earth is on that list of things he cares about, mainly because it offers more freedom than he had back home".
The unit leader finally relaxes before he speaks, "The civilians, how much do they know?" I turn to him before saying, "As I am sure you overheard. I erased the memories of the civilians, except for Martha's family; no need for the others to remember the horrors of what happened, but I would still keep an eye on them. A memory eraser is not a permanent solution. We can hope their subconscious was not affected, otherwise there will be mental health problems down the line".
After finishing, I decide I am done talking to the unit. I never liked soldiers much, even in my last life, especially one working for an entity that keeps the public in the dark. Although I can't blame them for doing so, it would cause panic.
Walking to Martha and her family, I make a hand gesture, and the spider that had been attached to Martha's torso detaches and climbs down from her torso before moving towards me. Once at my feet, it curls up into a small sphere, which I pick up and put in my pocket. As for the micro ones that were on her family, they had also detached and made their way into my pocket without anyone noticing.
Now with the spider device that had been latching onto her chest gone Martha who seemed tense before visible relaxes " it's finally over" I look at her puzzled before she speaks " if it were not over both you and the Doctor would not have removed the protections you had in place" I look even more confused sighing she speaks again " I know what happened to Rose" the moment she said that it clicked the Doctor had made sure that Marta kept her Ignore me key on during the events when they were first captured even after Jack was captured, meaning to her now that both of us have removed our ways of ensuring she was safe than that meant the danger was over.
"This danger is over yes, but the future can be unpredictable at times, and I tell you this not out of pity or hate, but the Doctor, he may seem blind but he isn't, his life is dangerous, and i suspect mine will be too, it's just how the universe is any who try to do good will always be met with pain, the greater the good the more pain. And no cause is greater than the Doctors. Think about that when you decide what to do," she looks at me in conflict, I ignore the rest and move towards my TARDIS, ready to leave.
The valiant, now crowned by units of soldiers and scientists, mostly scientists, because the Master had added a few things over the year that never were, but due to the Valiant being at the eye of the Paradox, it was not reverted, so they mostly want to study the changes he made.
Jack Martha and her family went into the Doctor's TARDIS, I would be following them, as I had a few things to talk to with the Doctor, after that I will need to make an exo suit no way am I going to the library without it not when I know what awaits, and this suit will make it impossible for any microorganism from entering, thus preventing the Vashta Nerada, from getting into the suit, we all saw the fate of the crew that came to the library not many survived.
As for why I am thinking about this now, it's because I have a way to save River, yep, the revive card. Best part is, thanks to the Future Doctor and his screwdriver, she's a remnant rather than a complete revival, meaning I get a second revival on a remnant, unfortunately not many deaths will leave a ruminate, only thanks to Missy's little cyberman army was Danny pick not entirely dead but reviving him, what would I get out of it.
I will leave the second remnant revival for now; it's not worth thinking about. With that decided, I set my TARDIS to follow the Doctor. Fortunately, he sets off shortly after I do. Not long later, we appear on an ordinary street that I recognise as the location of Martha's Family home.
Once it lands, I hit the handbrake. I always remember to disengage when I set off, unlike a certain someone. I head to the exit, making sure to close it once I am outside. Walking up to the Doctor as he watches Martha take her family inside, "Why leave them with the memories of the events?" I look at the Doctor before speaking, "For Martha, how would you feel if your Family went through hell and just had their memories wiped while you had to remember, no human could live with that kind of guilt or responsibility, especially if she continues travelling with you" My words cause the Doctor to fall into contemplative silence.
"Besides, the future always comes knocking when you least expect it to, and from people or places you least expect. It's best to allow them to understand what Martha is choosing if she stays travelling with you, this is a major glimpse at what your life is like" The Doctor sighs next to me before speaking "You're right, they have a right to know".
It's the Doctor's turn to speak now "Where are you going now?" I look at him before I talk "Somewhere with a beach, I need a break, and I bet Alice does as well. She is currently sleeping in her room in my TARDIS. Last year was busy, at least with a beach, there's not much that goes wrong"
Now it was my turn to ask, "What about you, any plans to go anywhere specifically" the Doctor does not think for long "was thinking of letting Martha decide, she's earned that at least after the year she had" I nod, while knowing full well that Martha will be leaving the Doctors TARDIS to stay with her family.
With everything that needed discussing it was time to leave " well guess I will see you when we next meet, try not to get into too much trouble Doctor, and try not to let your TARDIS be stolen again yea, so glad I did not have to see it in its Paradox machine form that would have pissed me off, no sane mechanic would willingly cannibalize a TARDIS. Anyway, see you around. Not waiting for the Doctor's reply, I enter my TARDIS and engage the flight controls, making sure to disengage the Handbrake. Unfortunately, it makes my TARDIS silent, but the mechanic in me refuses to allow me to leave it on just for the iconic sound effect.
