Quantum Travel

Reconcile

After the Doctor had left, to do something I zoned out on when he began explaining, Amy popped out of no where.

"I thought you had gone to bed, Pond." I turned to her.

She glared again, "Don't call me Pond... You lost that privilege."

I nodded. and we sat in silence for a few minutes.

"What did he mean?"

I rose my eyebrow, "Who mean what?"

She rolled her eyes, "What did the Doctor mean? When he said that you took their pain away?"

"Ah! That. Nothing really, it's just, if I have been with someone long enough, I am able to form a link with them. I can manipluate their emotions or even take their pain away." I explain quickly, which only leads to more questions.

"But, how did you bond with Melody? Does it work in reverse, like since you've known River?"

I shook my head, "No. The reason I left during Demons Run, I knew who Melody would grow up to be, I knew what she was meant to do. So, I stood with her, trained her, helped her. I was there as she grew up telling her of her parents searching the stars for her. I was there when she was sad or lonely, I formed a bond with her when she was a child."

"Like," She looked grossed out, "Like Twilight? And the werewolves."

"What? No! God no. I didn't imprint on her." I felt sick, I would never do that to a child. "I got to know her, and like how the Tardis can get in your head, I was able to do that... to a greater extent then what I normally can I suppose." With the whole, emphatic psychic thing.

"I told her of you, and I took her under my wing like I would my own children."

Amy nodded, then paused, "Do you have kids of your own?"

I shook my head, saddened by the life I never had, "In my world, I was married to the Doctor. We were newly weds when the Time War started, we never had the chance to start a family."

"Sorry." Then her eyes flashed with more questions, "Why was River so jumpy around you? Why was the Melody we knew so jumpy?"

"Because, I had to be harsh on her sometimes. If I wasn't, Kovarian would've been worse. At one point, I left her in New York, when she first regenerated. She thought I just abandoned her but... I was leading them away from her." I saw more questions in her eyes, so I kept going on with my story to explain it all, "I made sure that the Silence would be more interested in me, while she was younger, to give her a chance to grow up in a more... normal/safe environment. I brought Lia in to watch over her, until Melody became rebellious and decided to chase after you and Rory."

She laughed, "Rebellious... that is a good way to describe Mels." When she settled, she came over and hugged me, "I am not saying I forgive you for letting my daughter walk away, for letting me miss those milestones... I am saying thank you for protecting her when I couldn't."

I smiled, till she slapped me that is, "What the hell-"

Then she glared at me sternly, "That was for hiding from us when you clearly knew everything." then she stormed off.

"Women... Even being one I can't understand them."

I heard the Doctor laugh from around the corner, "Oi! You want a slap too?" 

With that he rushed off, me chasing after him and the Tardis laughing as we played like the children of Gallifrey we were.

*Tardis POV*

That's right Children, run and smile while you still can... worse days are to come.

And I am so sorry, but they will rip you apart once more.

OOF!

That is all I have to say... See ya!
