Settling the Family or Confusing the Normal Humans
Inside the Tardis Jack led the Jones family through the console room toward where he'd left the doorway to the Sacred Rest chamber. When he got a clear look at where the door was supposed to be he started cursing softly under his breath.
"Something wrong?" Leo asked warily.
Jack sighed. "The Tardis moved the room. I guess she doesn't want you to go where the Doc, the Master, and Martha are sleeping off this Rising Sleep thing. She's sentient and sometimes temperamental. I wouldn't advise getting her mad at you if you can help it." Jack got a feeling of smugness from the Tardis as well as an image of one of the smaller libraries on board which had doors that were open to separate bedrooms for each of the Jones', a small kitchenette, and a bathroom. "Considering the mental image she just sent me, I think she's set up a place for you to stay until we've finished sorting out the situation. You should have everything you need. Just don't ask me how the Tardis got your clothing and underwear sizes, I honestly don't know. She's like that some times."
"No." Francine said firmly. "I'm not going any where else with you. I want to see my daughter. I want to see Martha."
"Lady, I was planning on leaving you with the three of them while I went and got changed. I'm not particularly happy about this either, it means that once I've got you settled I have to go back and watch over them in blood soaked clothes. Do you know how much it hurts to pull clothing off that was soaked with blood and dried against your skin? Its almost like using duck tape on your skin except that you get little bits of dried blood all over the place like your shedding dried mud after getting dunked in a mud pit." Jack informed her unhappily as he felt the combined sympathy and amusement from the Tardis and the three Time Lords.
"No. You listen to me young man, you bring me to my daughter or I will make certain that you regret it." Francine ordered fiercely, showing exactly why her family was just slightly scared of her.
The Doctor chose that moment to tiredly enter the console room, fighting to stay awake. "Its alright Jack."
"Doctor?" Jack asked startled. "You should be in bed. You all got knocked out pretty good by whatever that Rising Sleep thing is."
"Yeah, I know. Its taking a major effort from all three of us to keep me awake." The Doctor admitted.
"What do you mean the three of you?" Clive asked suspiciously.
"Well we kind of formed a telepathic bond of sorts." The Doctor admitted sheepishly. "Right now Martha and the Master are in a cross between a trance and REM sleep which is where I should be as well. The reason we could leave Jack here out of it is that he doesn't have the genetics for it to trigger otherwise we'd have needed to find someone else to guard the lot of us while we were in the Rising Sleep. We become very vulnerable to outside threats while we rest and commune telepathically, sorting out any differences and learning who the new family members are. For a young Time Lord its also when they learn the basics for controlling their telepathic and empathic abilities, which Martha now has. If we don't get her shield training right she's going to get loads of headaches just from being around people that don't know how to put up mental shields, might even kill her."
"Then why are you out here explaining it to them? Go back to bed and help her learn." Jack shooed him back through the doorway and eventually had to help him through the now conveniently relocated doorway into the Sacred Rest chamber a few feet down the corridor from the console room.
The Doctor greatfully slid back into his bed near the Master's and Martha's own beds and nodded his thanks to Jack who nodded back. As Jack shut the door to the chamber behind him and felt it vanish he saw the Jones family in the doorway to the console room watching in shock as the entrance to the room disappeared.
"I told you that she's alive and can be temperamental." Jack told them with a raised eyebrow. "Now, why don't we get you all settled where the Tardis has set up the area specially for you so that you don't get lost or to worried by wandering around inside of her? That way I can get back to guarding them while they sleep this off and teach Martha what she needs to know not to get hurt or to not accidentally hurt you."
"Wont that be putting you in danger?" Tish asked tentatively.
"Not really. I'm a low level telepath with some training, not enough power or training to be considered for a healer's license but..." Jack shrugged as he led them to the area the Tardis had prepared for them. "You should have everything that you need and we should be done in another 15 hours or so if nothing goes wrong."
Jack paused as he got a series of images that showed a clock with different count downs overlaid with an image of the chamber. One of the times was overlaid with him asleep, slumped over in the guardian's chair.
"Oh? Sorry, the Tardis just informed me that because of the time compression stunt she had to pull to get me outside so that, that thug wouldn't get any where near them, they'll be sleeping for at least an extra 3 hours. My dying and coming back added another 6 hours unless they can pull me into their trance so we should be anywhere from 18 - 24 hours unless something goes wrong, then it might take a while longer. We should be fine." Jack assured them. "Martha is the only one of us that isn't trained and that's the point of all this, to get her trained.
Then a thought occurred to Jack that made him laugh before he told them. "If you find a telly don't expect it to work. The Doctor has cannibalized all sorts of things for repair parts over the years and forgotten to do something with the casing that he took the parts out of." Mischief sparkling in his eyes, Jack headed back to the chamber as he left the bewildered Jones clan in their Tardis assigned area.
A/n: Wonder what nightmares their minds will conjure up when they run across some of the equipment the Doc's cannibalized over the years?
