Chapter Thirteen:  Unravelling

“My name is Barbara Wright Chesterton. My late husband Ian for whom you are named,” she nodded at her grandson, “and I were the first two humans to travel with a strange old alien man called the Doctor. Only the Doctor.” She smiled at Rose. “We didn’t come on board voluntarily. He kidnapped us and then his ship refused to take us home! But despite all that, it was a glorious adventure travelling about time and space with him and his granddaughter. We came to respect the old man a great deal, though we never formed any deep affection for him.”

Chapter Twelve:  Looking for Answers

“That was my home, Saree. My home!” Peter Tyler was raging. The woman did not say a word, did not back up, did not back down as he came towards her. “You terrorized my children! You traumatized my wife, and my eldest daughter--.”

“We both know she’s not your daughter, Pete,” Saree interrupted quietly.

Chapter Eleven:  Trust

Ian drove towards Torchwood 1, his hands gripping the steering wheel grimly. He had only read enough of the file to know that he had to get to Rose and get her out of that building to someplace they could talk freely. Torchwood was no longer safe. If it ever had been. His eyes were drawn to the file sitting on the passenger seat and he wearily forced them back on the road.

Chapter Ten:  2 + 2

Rose Tyler was thinking hard. To those who didn’t know her, which was pretty much everyone but her mum and Mickey, she looked just like she was staring off into space daydreaming, but little things would give it away to those who knew what to look for. The way she cocked her head to the side, furrowed her brow just a bit, and allowed her focus to shift to a level that allowed her to be completely aware of her surroundings if an emergency should arise, but to tune out the unimportant otherwise.

Chapter Nine:  Explanations All Around

“I don’t understand it,” Martha said, holding up the scans of Gwen Cooper’s brain. “I’ve never seen so much damage done in a human brain before and had the patient walk out of hospital three days later, functioning perfectly well.”

She looked at Rose for answers. “I’m not sure I understand it myself,” Rose said. “But she’s okay, yeah? You’re saying she’s fine?”

Chapter Seven:  Invisible 

Ian and Rose exited the airship at the Snowdonia docking port. They were met on the roof by a man and woman dressed in well-fitting suits. “I’m Owen Harper, this is my partner Gwen Cooper, the rest of the team is already on site,” the man said in a businesslike manner.  Rose and Ian introduced themselves and then Owen said, “This way please.”

They followed him to a black SUV, kitted out with all kinds of fancy computer gear and tracking electronics. Gwen turned around in her seat and looked hard at Rose. “How do I know you?” Gwen asked her.

Chapter Six:  Not Just Dreams

“There are pieces, so many pieces to the puzzle, Rose. But I left it there for you to find, oh, such a long time ago. It’s almost time. And when it comes all you have to do is Remember Us, our place in time. What we were. What we are. What we will be. It’s not a dream. Keep your eyes open and believe. And trust him. That’s key. And speaking of keys, do you still have it?”

Rose came awake with so much adrenalin pumping in her body that she fell off the bunk before she got her bearings. Her heart was beating a mile a minute and she knew that something monumental had just happened, beyond that she had dreamed of him. “Doctor,” she whispered.

Chapter Five:  Chips and Conversation

Rose rubbed at her temples debating on whether or not to call up for a coffee or just pack it in for the night. If she had the coffee she just might make it home to her flat before she collapsed. It would be nice to sleep in her own bed for a change. She was starting to wonder why she even kept a flat anymore when more often than not she’d bed down in the back room.

Chapter Four:  Chasing A Memory

Ian McCullen was chasing a memory. Or at least he was trying to. He couldn’t have been more than four or five years old at the time, sitting on his Gran’s lap and fiddling with the funny silver pendant she wore around her neck. It was the first day he remembered seeing what Rose Tyler had called a time corridor. This one had been red, though most of the ones afterward had been blue.

He’d asked Gran what it was and she’d gotten a peculiar look on her face. “It’s a secret, Ian,” she told him. “But they won’t hurt you.”
