Chapter 26: This is Goodbye

The Doctor crouched by the last Ferrathan’s side. The one that looked like me. I shivered. This is what I looked like dead. The Doctor fiddled with the teleporting device on it’s wrist, just like he did with all the others, and she disappeared right before my eyes.

“Is this it then?” I asked as he stood up and stood by my side. “What are we going to do with Moriarty?”

“I don’t know,” he said honestly. I looked over at my new friends, who we would have to say goodbye to very shortly. I would miss them so much, they were different from the other people in this world. The ordinary people.

We had Moriarty tied up in the TARDIS, where Sherlock was keeping a close eye on him. Dean and Castiel wanted to kill him, but the Doctor disagreed. He hadn’t said it out loud, but if he wanted Moriarty dead, he would have let him kill himself earlier. As for Sherlock, I wasn’t surprised that he was the Time Lord, he had always acted kind of strange and non-human.

“Alright everyone, back in the TARDIS!” The Doctor announced. Once he silenced everyone, he began to explain his plan. “I’m so sorry, Moriarty, but the only way that I can keep you alive is to erase what memories you have of Earth, Time Lords and everything that happened here. I’ll send you back to your home planet where they can teach you to be a better trickster.”

“Doctor, do you know what you’re doing? This man killed us and destroyed America. He doesn’t deserve a second chance! He’s already proved to everyone that he has no good left inside him!” Dean complained.

“Everyone deserves a second chance. If Moriarty has the chance to change, we should give it him. It is probably my fault that he’s like this anyways. Sherlock and I were the only reason that he had this ambition the come to Earth,” The Doctor said sadly.

“And if his planet refuses to take him?” John asked.

“They’re going against the Shadow Proclamation by sending their criminals to other planets. They’ll have to take him back,” The Doctor said.

“Why was he more powerful than the other Tricksters?” Sam asked.

“There have been other Tricksters sent to Earth. Moriarty isn’t the first, trust me I’ve dealt with them, but some come quietly, and it becomes part of the family. As time goes on, the abilities become less powerful, but Moriarty was fresh from the planet, he was at full power.”

“He can hear you!” Moriarty spat.

“I know. Now it’s time for you to start again,” The Doctor said, “I’m sorry, Moriarty. I wish there was a better way. But I hope you have a happy life.”

“No, no, no!” Moriarty yelled as the Doctor put his hands on either side of his head. I winced when Moriarty screamed in agony as his memories were taken from him. When the Doctor was finished. Moriarty fell unconscious.

“Sherlock and I, and just us, will carry Moriarty out. You guys stay in here and chat until we’re done,” The Doctor said in that tone he used when he was upset.

I went over to his side by the console and whispered to him, “Are you alright?”

He smiled, then kissed me on the head, “I’ll be alright, Pond. I just hate to see such a brilliant mind go to waste. It reminds me of an old friend of mine.”

I didn’t want to bother him any further, so I stepped away and let him and Sherlock run the TARDIS. Sherlock looked so happy, happier than he was before he regained his memories. His hands moved around the TARDIS in the same way that the Doctor’s did.
