Warnings: None expected!

Attleton and The Worst Thing (Oct 13-14):
Everything was going swimmingly, well, actually, no, there was a huge heap of steaming drama with his friends and his previous regeneration and it was kind of a nightmare, but he actually had all of them near at hand again and besides a tantrum or two they were doing really wonderfully. Okay, and there was the creeping boredom with having a job or two, two and a half, depending how you count, and being in the same place day after day. He even had his Family Away From Home again, though, including sharing more than a few hours of concurrent time with River, for once. All in all, pluses and minuses accounted together, things were going great. He was in high spirits as he strolled from the school back toward Pond House; at least, right up until he heard that voice he wanted most of all voices not to hear, especially with everything else going on:

"EXTERMINATE!!!"

Everglade and The Noms (Oct 14 onward):
Once he'd figured out (at least to zeroth order) what was going on, the Doctor had made a point to stay out of Attleton. It wasn't, of course, that he didn't want to see his friends and family; rather, he represented a certain additional level of danger not only to them, but anyone else in the area, at least until whatever was happening had concluded. So instead, he was out exploring other areas--and really, how could he not investigate Everglade? With a strange situation like that, he was like a kid in a candy shop, except the candy shop is a city, and so is the candy. How could anyone say no? Probably by being a grownup, so it doesn't really apply to him. Don't worry, though, it's research, he's a professional, literally, it's one of his jobs.

Nova City and the Monsters (Oct 14 onward):
Now that he knows what's going on in Nova City, of course, he has to go and help--which means trying to keep people from being hurt by their neighbors-turned-monsters, and trying to help the monsters from being hurt by any well-meaning-but-overeager monster-fighting types. Don't worry, Nova City, he's here to help! ...and maybe run away, if you try to eat him, but he understands, no hard feelings. It's a good chance to study the effect up close, as well; the better they understand what's happened, the better they'll know what (if anything) they can do about it.

Genessia City and The Hobby (Oct 14 onward):
And of course, once he found out that there were actual monster monsters of the Simply Evil Creatures type attacking in Genessia City, he just had to run off there to help people get clear of monster attacks. After all, you can't stay locked up in your house indefinitely... and it's another chance to try and learn what's going on, and if there's anything they can do about it.

On most nights during the monster attack Lea could be found battling the creatures attacking Genessia City, and tonight was no exception. He was patrolling the streets, on the lookout for any creepy creatures when he spotted a man in a tweed jacket who currently had his back to Lea's position. He wasn't quite sure what the guy was doing out on a night like this, but was about to approach him and advise him to get inside when he saw a large, hairy creature creeping up on the man, clawed hands raised to strike and sharp fangs gleaming in the moonlight.

"Watch out!", Lea called to the seemingly unaware man before dashing forward, Keyblade at the ready to deal with the werewolf. Hopefully he wouldn't be too late...

The Doctor had been in the midst of ushering someone else to safety, himself, but he's always been prone to forgetting about his own safety when he's hyperfocused on saving somebody else. With that shout grabbing his attention, though--as well as the werewolf's--he twirls about and takes a step back, just out of the wolf's range pointing a little green-tipped stick/wand at it. As Lea closes in, there's a distinctive warbling buzz, but it's exponentially more intense on-axis, and aimed right at the werewolf to stun it; he's figuring it probably has awfully sensitive hearing, and nothing quite like a sonic to overwhelm sensitive hearing.

"...blimey..!"

Whether or not it would have effectively stunned the werewolf, it certain provided a good startling distraction. A distraction that bought Lea enough time to close the distance between them and affect a more permanent solution. The werewolf gave a brief yelp of pain as Lea cut a long diagonal slash with his Keyblade across it that left a momentary trail of fire in the air and on the beast's fur before it collapsed into a heap of dust.

Lea held his Keyblade ready for another moment, just in case the werewolf had any friends nearby, but relaxed back into a more normal stance when none presented themselves. "Well, that could have been icky," he said, turning back to the Doctor. "You alright there, Doc?"

It's a bird, it's a wolf, it's a gargoyle! It's Rose to the rescue!!

Rose drops out of nowhere (well, the sky, obviously) and tackles the dalek from above, tipping it backwards with an arm carefully around the eyestalk and shooter of deathrays respectively. "Not today garbage can!"

She has always wanted to do that.

It's kind of funny actually, daleks are her worst nightmare too, but when it comes to protecting the Doctor, it overrides any fear.

Which is just as well, because she's still an emotional wreck otherwise.

He's been trying to get away from that Dalek for a whole day already, and--certainly realistic enough--it's been stubbornly keeping up with him. He's more than a little startled when he's in the process of dodging its attack and it gets tackled out of the sky by a gargoyle. That's certainly different. ...oh, but no, he recognizes who that is, and even if he laughs with relief for a moment, he's more than a little worried about her staying close to it.

"Hahah! Rose Tyler two, Daleks zero!"

The Dalek, for its part, still struggles, hollering threateningly and firing its gun off wherever its pointed, because... well, it's a Dalek, it's not like it's picky about what might get shot.

"AAAAAAA!! MY MOBILITY IS IMPAIRED!! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!!!"

...it's just a couple of seconds before it suddenly stops shooting. Instead, it makes a low pulsing sound, slowly rising in speed and pitch. That's when the Doctor really starts to worry, peeking around the corner of a wall.

"...Rose... Rose, best come away from there."

She gave him a gargoyle wink at the first part, mildly amused that even as a gargoyle, the Doctor has no trouble telling it's her. "Well, I can't let Jack have all the fun, yeah?" Not that she's jealous of Jack, nope. ~~Maybe a little. Even if she loves Jack enough to do anything for him. It's another kettle of fish.~~

At the hissing, runs around the corner to the Doctor, practically bowling him over like in an action flick, expecting an explosion, and to need to protect him with her outstretched wings.

"Self-destruct?" a small gasp.

The Doctor flails as he's tackled ~~and hopefully River won't be seeing this and getting punchy about it~~, startled and maybe a bit flustered for a moment--then winces at the BOOM of the Dalek's self-destruct going off.

"...ah... well. Hello, thanks, you all right?"

He raises a hand to poke at her cheek lightly because look how can he not investigate her being a gargoyle ~~maybe again~~ at least a little bit.

Rose instantly beamed, reflexively, before remembering all the recent chaos and nonsense and fighting and had he even gotten her letter? Did it matter?

"Mmn!" she nodded, still smiling at least. "You?" She got up and offered him a hand.

"Don't worry," she glanced away, hand still held out to him before glancing back. "Your younger self sonic'd me. Said he'd work on a cure. Or at least something so I'm not nocturnal. But it's not so bad." She flexed the wings out, "Get to fly again!" she smiled brightly, before frowning, wings accidentally hunching in tune with her emotions. "Um. Sorry. Yeah?" She couldn't look up at him, into his eyes. Afraid of seeing the disappointment or anger or protective--

Or worse.

Much worse.

She didn't want to get mad at him again and say something she'd regret.

Again.

Why couldn't she just go back to... Rose Tyler. Rose Tyler and the Doctor in the TARDIS, as it should be.

Maybe that was why. They weren't that anymore. And she didn't know who Rose Tyler in the TARDIS with a billion others was. It was the same. It should be. It was just her hang up. She couldn't let it go. It was confusing.

The Doctor took her hand, having no real qualms about being helped up, popping up to his feet spryly, giving her a bit of a curious look, brightening a little bemusedly at her excitement at flying. He mostly just looks puzzled, though, at her apology and the way she looks away.

"...whot? Yeah, 'course."

Tick.

"......no, sorry, not quite getting it. ...ohh, no, right, yeah, about the... network... thing..?"

Not only does he not like the melodramatics much at all, he doesn't really entirely understand them. Strong feelings and being upset, sure, but pitching a fit in public and spouting a word salad of every unpleasant thing you can think of? Not so much. And since he's fairly sure she won't like him calling it that to her face, "network thing" is probably good enough.

She would, ironicaly, be amused by him calling it that. A spade is still spade after.

"Yeah. Among other things," Rose shrugged, wings bobbing along. There was a lot to say, but the words weren't exactly forthcoming.

"Not that you gotta forgive me, because I mean, I'm still tryin' ta fix it!" she added in a small rush of yet more word salad. "Just, I wanted ya ta know, obviously."

[Spawn hopped in with demons about to attack the man respectfully, but he's been to hell and back so he knows what's going on. ]

[ A scratch on spawn's chest turns instantly heals as soon as it was made and Al and the demon kept fighting until nighttime. ]

"Ggggg...ive... up Demon!"
