Breaking Point

One Week

The part human Doctor began teaching Rose more about telepathy. Her previous teacher was good, but she was a weaker telepath with a different skill set. The Doctor and Rose were closely matched in strength, though Rose's telepathy wasn't touch based, and she was strongest in emotions. The Doctor didn't have to touch where another telepath was concerned, and had some ability in empathy. She learned that in his eighth life, he was a full empath.

Over the next week, the part human Doctor got settled into his new body and personality.

He had a tendency to be even more rude than his counterpart, and not on accident, either. "It's my inner Donna, Rose, she was rude, if anything I've got a double dose of the rudeness."

He was sassy, in a level not seen since he was all leather and ears. "Way to go, Rickey, you've learned the days of the week." he said when Mickey and Rose were talking.

He was darker, easier to send into anger, but he was good at channeling it elsewhere when the moment was over. Rose found herself pushed up against a wall, being snogged by the man more than once.

Over the next week, the three of them ran. They ran from queens, from villagers, from themselves.

On the first day, on the planet Virimira Four in the 28th century, the Doctor left his part human self and Rose to calm a group of villagers when he went and turned off the machine that was being used to alter their brains and make them turn against each other. They then had to run, fast, as the villagers then turned on the dictator responsible.

The second day, they wound up on Plesiana 2 in 1192. It was a beautiful place, and Rose just wanted to go swimming, but while there, before she could even show off her bikini, the part human Doctor was imprisoned, thanks to the blue suit. Apparently, dark blue was forbidden to be worn in large quantities, unless you were royalty. Rose was glad she had left her jacket behind. They came up with a plan to get him out. Using the Doctors' looks, and another blue suit, they made the guards think that he had escaped. The Doctor ran and lost the guards, who, thankfully, had short legs like all Plesians, despite being as tall on average as the Doctors were.

Rose took the brown suit to the imprisoned Doctor and had him put it on. The two then made their escape into the crowds of people before anyone could notice the switch.

After that, they immediately went to Hawaii in 1829, where Rose finally got to swim, long before the crowds came.

When she took off her cover up, the part human gave her an appreciative whistle, which had her blushing. The full Time Lord didn't say anything, but he did stare at the tattoo on her side, shown to them for the first time. "BAD WOLF" in blue letters.

They also explored the lava fields, where it was safe to, anyway.

The whole time, Rose pretended not to notice the full Gallifreyan, still in the blue suit, eying her up when he thought she couldn't see him. If he wanted to pretend he wasn't looking, let him. But there was no ignoring the part human Doctor, who spent every moment flirting. Nor did she want to.

On the third day, the Doctors were back in their customary colors. They went to a museum on one of the moons of Deiterious in the 75th century, where the Doctors both started cataloging what was 'wrong.'

Rose, who was used to this behavior, wandered around the museum, keeping one of the Doctors in sight at all times. She came to a statue she had seen before in the Earth exhibit, from their time in Rome. It was the Fortuna statue that she had hid behind to give the Doctor the vial when they were being turned to stone. "Rose is prettier than you."
