[And When are we this time?] [ Arrival, action or prose will match style]

[justwords]

The first thing that Martha noticed when she opened her eyes, was that she was cold. Her memories of what she was doing before waking up were fuzzy and frankly quite perplexing to Martha, who needed to understand everything for it to make sense.

She felt the weight on her chest and opened the box, hoping somehow that the Doctor had left some clue. Oh.... the Doctor.... of course.

"Hello???? Is anyone out there. If I said Tardis what would you say?"

Comments

[clevermind]

Belle had been on her way to the library when she heard someone calling from the bay. Her curiosity peeked, she changed coursed and headed inside to greet whomever had just awoke.

"Tardis?" She asked in a soft voice. "Do you know the Doctor by chance?" Ten had mentioned the Tardis to Belle. He had given up his ability to forgo sleep for the curious blue box. She didn't know all the details but she knew the word.

After having found out about the Dream Dock, and seeing that giving up some of his abilities for the Tardis to either time travel or fly out didn't work. Ten tries the dream dock, which afterward needed to check the books in the library to make sure none of them were the same.

On his way back, hears a very familiar voice and runs towards the Bay area, on one hand, he's glad she's hear on another he wonders if his trip in the Dream Dock triggered this to happen.

"Martha!"

Strange on how someone wasn't in that cave with he now isn't it?

"Welcome to Genessia."

At least he has someone from home - despite The Master being loose now. But wait - if The Master has his Tardis how does he have his Tardis? Then again Ten got the Tardis before that happen so quite possible the Tardis is from a time period -

Bad Wolf.

The Tardis must be from when traveling with Rose.

Martha didn't know what the hell was going on or why she was here, to begin with, but the one thing she did know was that voice. It was his, a voice that she dreamed about. One that she hoped someday would notice her.

It couldn't be. She was scared to turn around and have her hopes be dashed. She was made of stronger stuff than this, however, and she couldn't help the grin that spread across her face.

"Doctor! Are you real?"

[borntolove]

"Yes." Came the simple answer.

[justwords]

Hysterical laughter started bubbling to the surface and Martha almost collapsed from the relief at seeing the Doctor, her Doctor. She took off towards her, all but throwing herself at him. She buried her face into his shoulder, and just held on for dear life.

"I thought you'd forgotten about me by now," She admitted quietly.

[borntolove]

Ten smiles widely and opens his arms and holds her; he's glad to see her. It's been a month for him. At least now - he's not trapped alone but sort of feel bad he's trapped her too.

Why would he forget about you? Because he doesn't act like he cares about you? He does. Why do you think he saw you as John Smith? Without his memories and hugs her slightly tighter when she whispers that but only for a moment.

He does, however, needs to find out the last thing that happened to her.

[justwords]

She felt his embrace grow tighter and she couldn't help but smile and return it. She was still wary because well he was him and she was just Martha.

She looks at him, really looks at him for a second before asking. "Did you find her?" The her in question is the TARDIS but Martha could have meant something else too.

[borntolove]

Ten continues to smile because really he's glad to see Martha. "Yes. The Tardis is here." Then eyes Martha for a moment, "Martha, this is very important. What's the last thing you remember?"

[justwords]

Martha knew that tone, and despite her relief at seeing the Doctor again, Sobers immediately. Martha got a faraway look in her eyes, almost as if she were trying to remember something, but it was all fuzzy. She brought one hand to her forehead trying to rub the memories back into place.

"You remember the watch? Yeah? Well, that's how I'm feeling. Things are fuzzy and all glomped together, but we were in Utopia with Jack and I think someone had stolen the TARDIS.... yeah, the Doctor. You were upset, I could feel it. He didn't hurt you did he? Cuz I'll kill him," She spoke, reaching out and touching his cheek gently, looking for any injury.

[borntolove]

Ten gently rubs Martha's back in soothing comfort when sobering starts; it's alright. It's alright. Everything is alright. Ten watches her eyes curiously wondering if that's a side effect of waking.

There's a head nod - alright they're at least on the same page as far as that goes. Of course, he was upset his Tardis was being stolen by his children best friend that has an immensely complicated relationship for a lot of his lives and is also the only remaining Time Lord besides himself.

But no one steals his Tardis.

And doesn't know that it's not a game anymore and leaves his only fellow Time Lord to possibly die.

"No -" Then feels his blood run cold at Martha's remark and states very dryly, "Don't kill in my name." With some sadness in his brown eyes - what has he done to her?

Allows the warmth of her hand on his cheek for a moment or so; it has been a month since he's seen her; and then slowly pulls away and softly states; "I'm fine. How are you?"

[justwords]

Martha leaned back giving him a suspicious look. "Have you gone barmy? Hit your head on something. Maybe I should give you an exam?" She finished looking at him.

"If you were in mortal danger, of course, I would save you. I love you." She stated plainly, not thinking for a moment that the doctor would even comment on her statement. He never had before why would he now.

[borntolove]

No, not going to make a dirty joke out of that and quietly and plainly states, "I'm fine." Then a pause, "Been awhile."

Ten softly appears upset but is still gentle, "If you love me, don't kill for me."

Then interwebs his fingers with hers without thinking.

[justwords]

"How long," came the whispered response. She started a little and stared at their now joined fingers. He had never done that before except when they were running for their lives.

She looked him in the eyes at his statement. "I promise, but that doesn't mean I can't think about it right?" She smirked slightly.

[borntolove]

"Too long..." Ten slowly fidgets in a loving manner his fingers in her fingers. No, he can't stop her from thinking that.

"Come on." Gently tugs Martha to come and follow and yes, he wants to break out into a run for no reason.
