"Oh, come on! You must have something for me!"
Rose furiously hit the console with her hands. She had been looking for something, for anything that would lead her to her Maxence. She wanted and needed a solution to save him from the fate he was facing. She hated the fact that he was suffering and she couldn't do anything to help him. Her heart was breaking just at the thought of it. She clenched her fists.
"Please, help me," she begged the TARDIS.
But the machine remained desperately silent. It was like she was waiting for Rose to do something special. The blonde was only raging and looking for a solution in a database she didn't even understand. Not yet. It would happen, eventually.
"We can't let them hurt him! He's told me about you, about the bond you're sharing. He's told me you're the only thing he's got left from home. He said you're alive and I wanna believe him. I wanna believe you can help me save him. Please. We gotta bring him back to safety, bring him back to his family."
Rose didn't care if it meant she had to be hurt. She just wanted to get her husband back and make sure he was safe and sound. She would do anything for him, even if she had to sacrifice herself for that. Tears rolled down her cheeks. She felt so powerless. She knew she couldn't do anything on her own. She needed the blue box's help. She needed to be introduced into the Doctor's world. As brutal as it would be. That was what the TARDIS was expecting from her. A box with circular symbols, like the ones on the screen, appeared on the pilot seat. And there were those words. Bad Wolf. The box was for her. She immediately walked to it and opened it. There was a golden blinding light and, when she could see again, the box wasn't there anymore. She was facing a perfect copy of her, wrapped in a golden halo.
"Who... Who are you?" stammered Rose.
"I'm you," replied the double.
"How?"
"You are the lost divinity of Gallifrey, Rose, but your memory was erased. You could only get it back by choosing to save the Doctor with no second thought."
"Of course I want to save him!"
"Are you accepting your fate? Becoming the most powerful entity known to this day will change your life forever."
Rose had a choice to make, but it was already made in her mind. She wanted her Doctor safe, no matter the consequences for her.
