After the Rain - Chapter 38Some time later, Shana sat, eating leftover Chinese, watching the people around her do their work, recovering from their escapade. Her mind wondered down to the cells where they have Michelle imprisoned."Hey beautiful," Jack said, his cocky grin lighting her mood. He sat down next to her, coffee mug in hand. "How is it you sit here alone, eating cold chow mein?""Not sure where the Doctors went, actually," She said between bites. He nodded watching her, smiling to himself. She watched him, carefully, and then slowly put her fork down. "Jack, what's the weather like outside?""Mmmm, it started to rain about a hour ago. Can't hear any of th
After the Rain - Chapter 37The Doctor looked up when the door to the room closed, leaving him alone with Shana. He waved his sonic over her, only to confirm what he already knew. He carefully picked her hand up, placing it in his hand, ignoring the fact that he heard the bone that had been left behind from the chemical cracked, breaking away.He ran his other hand through her hair, smoothing it out, whispering to her words of love and caring. Telling her he was here, that everything would be okay. He bent down, placing his forehead to hers, sending her the love in his heart that she helped nurture."I love you," she whispered. He raised his head, saw her beautiful si
After the Rain - Chapter 36The Doctor ran as fast as his body would allow to the location Jack was at. When he arrived at the closed door, Gwen stood outside of it, pale as if there was no blood flowing through her. The Doctor tried to get past her, but she placed a hand on his chest, holding him back."Doctor," She said, her voice barely that of a whisper. He looked at the closed door, and turned slowly to look at the hazel eyes that are shielded in sadness. "We've done everything we can for her," She said.He pushed her out of the way, opening the door to see Jack standing over a medical bed that was not meant to heal or cure anyone. He slowly approached the table,
After the Rain - Chapter 35Jack arrived at the Hub after the team had returned with dinner. There was "dinner chatter" going on, but it was rather subdued. The silence before the battle. It doesn't matter where, or when, or what the next battle was, the meal before it always sounds the same.The thoughts of "This could be my last dinner" or, "I'll miss sharing this with him/her" run through everyone's mind. He should know. Him and the Doctors. The three of them had a few meals like this through the years.The brown eyed Doctor looked up, saw Jack standing off in the shadows, watching the group. He excused himself from the table, and approached him."What is it, Jack
After the Rain - Chapter 34"Look, I don't care what it would do to her, I want to know why she's different now!"Shana knew that voice. She didn't know where she was, but she knew that voice and it meant danger. She tried to open her eyes, but she couldn't see. She tried to move, but she couldn't. She had to remain calm.Think Shana... She thought to herself, as she tried to make her brain concentrate on everything around her.She knew she wasn't in the Tardis, Michelle said she was the only one who could get in it, so her peons couldn't have brought her in. If she could guess, somewhere on Earth. Somewhere relatively close to where she was taken from."Welcome ba
After the Rain - Chapter 33The Doctor had been in Sick Bay for hours, running the multitude of tests that he knew would give him the answer he needed. The answer that had to match his suspicions. The centrifuge was running non-stop, spinning her samples. Just a few more minutes. That's all that there is left and he would know.He twirled his sonic screwdriver in his fingers, waiting for the machine to stop. A watched pot doesn't boil. He turned his back to the machine, leaned up against the counter, closing his eyes.It was then, that he realized something was missing. He let his mind reach out, finding a hole. Shana? Did she close him off to spend time with the oth
