�� Jack wished
for one blinding moment that he were back in his cozy little office, smelling
the stale pizza and cold coffee aroma wafting from the lab�� Instead, he thought with a vague twist of a
smile, he was running down yet another alien corridor with the Doctor, trying
to save two of the most important people in his life.� Three, if he counted himself.� �Out of curiosity,� he asked over his
shoulder, �do you know where we�re going?�
��
The Doctor in that particular
incarnation smiled.� �Of course I
do.� I know where I am at all times.
Saves trouble later.�� He grabbed Jack by� the elbow and
dragged him to a halt.� �The important
question is, do you know where YOU are?�
��
Jack snorted.� �Of course.� I�m�� The niggling thought that had occurred to
him earlier exploded into full bloom. Exactly where *was* he?� Nothing was what he thought anymore, not in
this world.� He was used to upheavals and
shifts but this was verging on insane.� �Why
don�t you tell me where YOU think we are��
��
�� Clever,�
the Doctor muttered, pushing his fingers through his riot of curls.� �Clever man.� You think we�re still in the Domes of Venus
but we�re not.� We�re on a satellite
planet, orbiting a massive gravity jar.�

�� a whowhatnow?�

�� Gravity jar.� Oh, that�s not it�s real name but they always looked like jars to me.� It�s a massive construct, looks a bit like a
jar of preserves but all metallic and such.�
It provides artificial gravity to massive construction projects, like start
up solar systems and such.�

�� Ah, the gated communities of the future.� Or the present,� Jack sighed, rolling his
eyes heavenward.� �I thought those had
been banned by just about ever government in the galaxy.�

�� Yours,
maybe,� the Doctor shrugged.� �It�s
deceptively easy to miss, unless you know what you�re looking for, but the
TARDIS picked up on it immediately, as soon as she wound up here before Rose
got drawn into the entire mess.�� He
paused, brows drawing together.� �It�s
odd, isn�t it?� Me being me and him being
me and her being who she is� I know everything he knows and he knows everything
I know, even if he won�t acknowledge some of the finer things like Jelly Babies
and that fantastic scarf tucked away belowstairs�� But here I am.� The TARDIS spewed us all out��

�� I was
gonna save that question for later,� Jack said conversationally, motioning the
Doctor to take the lead and falling into step behind him as they wended their
way at a steady clip down the corridor.� �But
since you brought it up� what the fuck is that about?�

�� Ah, language, my American friend.�� He shot Jack a look.� �At least my friend who
passes for American.� Time Lords
are connected to their�
TARDIS in a rather symbiotic fashion� we�re part of it and it�s
part of us.� We share a seed, as it were��
��
�� Hmm.� On Gallifrey, the TARDIS is in YOU,� Jack muttered, only half
joking.� The Doctor barely shrugged in
response as they took a hard right, the temperature of the passageway growing noticeably
cooler.�

�� Something
shifted in the continuum�something isn�t as it should be anymore.� We used to monkey with time and continuity on
a regular basis but this is big, big enough to set that seed of being into
overdrive, sprouting things willy
nilly.�

�� So�you�re
not a hologram,� Jack put in for lack of anything else to add at that
moment.� The corridor was sloping
downwards, pitching gently towards a darkness several
hundred yards before them.� Their steps
slowed and Jack edged ahead, pulling his gun out from the hidden holster at his
side.� �So there�s something wonky going
on in time and space, moreso than usual, and the
TARDIS is trying to fix it by spewing you lot out?�� They were moving slowly now, voices barely
above a whisper as they hugged the wall, approaching the darkness which was
resolving itself to be a door of some sort, painted
darker than the surrounding walls, designed to be ominous.�

�� something
like that.�
Rather more like the cock up has sent her circuits into a tizzy and she�s
spewing us out�lovely image by the bye�to fix her.� You missed something glaringly obvious, Jack,
something you should have seen the minute you jumped into the TARDIS to play
cowboy and save Rose and�well, me.�� He
laid a long fingered hand on Jack�s shoulder, making him pause in his
progress.� His lips practically on Jack�s
ear, he whispered, �What did you see when you looked at the map on the TARDIS?�

�� The Domes,�
he shot back.� �New
Venus.� We never really left��

�� Think
harder.� That was just part of the
map.� Did you not see the new, twinkling
light shining in the sky?� The shimmering globe that wasn�t there before?�� He released Jack and straightened just
slightly.� �Gallifrey
has been resurrected.� We�re on it.�

�� That�s
impossible,� Jack sputtered, shaking off the Doctor�s hand.� �He�you saw it destroyed.� YOU were there!�� He cocked his weapon, the faint hum of it�s energy cell like an insistent bee in the otherwise
quiet hall.� Jack did not look back at
the Doctor as he padded softly towards the darkened door.� �Even if it is a
constructed planet, who would have built it back?� It�s not like you can just people the planet
with human hybrids and call them Time Lords��

�� No, but
you can loom us,� the Doctor noted.� �And
human DNA can be added to the Looms, sort of a filler.� Especially human DNA that isn�t quite human
anymore.��

�� Jack did
stop then, so close to the door that he could all but feel it.� �But I�� he paused.� �Oh.�
Oh, no.� Rose��

�� Oh no Rose
indeed,� The Doctor remarked.� �Go in
with guns blazing and she�s dead.� Sneak
in and she�s loomed.� Which is it to be
then, Jack?�
