The Tale Of Time {Doctor Who X Reader}

The Parting Of Ways: Part 1

(Edited to fit the new storyline, friends to lovers.)

{Y/N}, Jack and the Doctor stand at the control panel of the TARDIS, as they fly her towards the Dalek fleet.

"We've got incoming!" Jack yells. Two missiles crash into the TARDIS creating an explosion around them. "The extrapolator's working." He smiles.

"That's good, that means we have a fully functioning forcefield." {Y/N} says, slightly more calm after the Doctor promised she wouldn't be in the Dalek's grasp again.

"Try saying that when you're drunk." Jack jokes.

"And for our next trick." The Doctor says as he presses a few buttons.

The TARDIS materializes around Rose and a close by Dalek. The Doctor, Jack and {Y/N} a good distance away. The Doctor stands in front of {Y/N} as the two fully materialize.

"Rose, get down! Get down, Rose!" The Doctor shouts. Rose ducks down, allowing Jack to safely point his big gun at the Dalek.

"Exterminate!" The Dalek fires, causing {Y/N} to retract further behind the Doctor. The shot luckily misses Jack. Jack takes aim and blasts the Dalek effectively destroying it.

"You did it." Rose says as she moves from behind a beam. {Y/N} smiles and quickly hugs her in joy. "Feels like I haven't seen you in years."

"I told you we'd come and get you." The Doctor smiles.

"Never doubted it." Rose says as she lets go of {Y/N}.

"I did." {Y/N} admits with a strained smile. "You all right?"

"Yeah. You?"

"Good, great. Been better though." The Doctor smiles tight-lipped at her before gently taking her hand to move her away from the Dalek remains.

"Hey, don't I get a hug?" Jack pouts as he walks over.

"Oh, come here!" Rose smiles, pulling him in for a hug.

"I was talking to {Y/N}." Jack jokes as he hugs Rose anyway. "Welcome home."

"Oh, I thought I'd never see you again." Rose sighs as she pulls away.

As the Doctor scans over the Dalek he notices {Y/N} hesitantly making her way over from the corner of his eye. "You don't need to, love."

"I know. I'm just- just not used to seeing one up close that wasn't trying to-" She stops her eyes closing tightly as she looks up.

"You know when I found you. After the war. I knew something was wrong." He admits.

"Well, who would be the same after that." She jokes light-heartedly.

"I knew cause you slept for two weeks and looked to be in constant pain and you even locked me out of the med bay files."

"I'm sorry." She sighs sadly. She knew it must have hurt him, her locking him out of things and hiding what's happened to her.

"After that time with Van Hatten and the Dalek. I knew something more than the war must have happened to you. That they were after you to seemingly finish something they had started. You were...a form of experiment to them. Weren't you?" {Y/N} went quiet, her expression tearful. He looks at her in concern. "I know this is hard. I know you don't want to remember what happened. But I want to help, I want to be there. I care about you, so much. You can tell me anything. I want to know what's happened."

"I want to tell you." {Y/N} says, looking down.

"Then why hide it from me?" He wonders.

"It was...the most traumatic thing I will ever experience." She whispers. "I want to tell you, I've wanted to tell you since the day we found each other." She admits. "I wanted your comfort, your help. Your reassurance." She takes a deep shuddering breath. "But, I was taken by our most feared enemy. And I didn't know what that would do to you if you saw the damage."
