The cells of the TARDIS had not been actively used since the days of the time war. During that time, the Doctor had kept many prisoners in them and just setting foot down in the unused space brought back those memories. He could see the men and women looking at him with contempt in their eyes as he held them prisoner. He never kept them for long, offloading them in a prison cell or at a prison colony. He wasn't a jail keeper and never wanted to be. As he entered the cells he found that the majority of the room was still dark, with only one prison cell lit up. He motioned for Jack to wait by the door, as he moved closer to the cell. Inside Rose sat on the small cot leaning against the wall.

"Look what the cat dragged in," Rose commented as she looked up at him. He looked down at himself a moment. He knew that he still looked sick but otherwise he was dressed in his suit and thought he looked normal.

"What happened to you Rose?" He asked her as he turned his attention back to her.

"You left me on the beach with that thing," Rose told him.

"I left you with him so that you could be happy Rose. He loved you and you could have spent the rest of your life togeth..." He started to tell her.

"He left me," She screamed at him, interrupting his sentence.

"Why?" The Doctor asked slightly surprised.

"Because he wasn't the real Doctor and neither are you. I stayed with you after the Doctor was taken from me after the Gamestation. He loved me and I convinced myself that you did too. You didn't though, first chance you got you left me and moved on," Rose accused him.

"I didn't," The Doctor whispered. He still remembered how much it hurt the first few months after she was gone. He may have been with the Master and Jack now but it had taken a lot of time to get over Rose. How Martha ever forgave him for the way he treated her due to his anger and heartbreak, he wasn't sure.

"You did and then you left me on the beach like I had meant nothing to you. The thing you left couldn't love me either. He left me in the end too so I left. I found the Doctor here and he has been wonderful to me. He loves me and has no problems telling me or showing me," Rose informed the Doctor. She was staring at him with hatred in her eyes though she hadn't moved from the spot she was in.

"The Outlaw is not a good man Rose," The Doctor hissed at her.

"At least he was the real Doctor and not some fake," Rose snapped back. The Doctor turned away from the cell. He hurried out past Jack standing at the door and to his bedroom. He was trying hard to control his breathing and just wanted to be alone for a moment. His side was hurting with the strain he was putting on his body but at least it took away from the pain he was feeling in his hearts. All these years he had loved the young woman and had been happy to see her turn from the shop girl to a strong independent woman. A single tear rolled down his face and he brushed it away as he climbed up on his bed.

"Sweetheart?" Jack questioned coming into the room. He had heard everything and though he wanted to yell at Rose, his main concern was for the Doctor.

"Leave me alone Jack," The Doctor said as he sat on the bed.

"I can't," Jack told him, coming closer. He could see the pain in the Doctor's eyes. He just wanted to hold him and help the Doctor to let the pain go. Sitting down he wrapped his arms around his lover, pulling him close.

"Let me go," The Doctor hissed struggling against him.

"Just let it out Doctor," Jack cooed softly. He felt the bed sink lower and then another pair of arms wrap around his holding the Doctor from the other side. Looking up he saw the concerned eyes of the Master. The Master didn't question as they held the Doctor between them, trying to comfort the Time Lord. He had watched everything on the monitor in the console room and agreed that the Doctor shouldn't be alone. He had run from his feelings for too long, but now he had two people who cared about him and didn't want to see him in pain. Sandwiched between his lovers the Doctor broke. He grabbed on to Jack's shirt holding it tightly as he sobbed. They held him until long after he calmed down. He just wanted to sleep, but they had one more thing to attend to first.

-DW-

The trial of the Outlaw was little more than a reading off of his crimes and sentencing him. The crimes were numerous and the whole time they were being read the Outlaw just stared forward listening. He showed no remorse nor care for the many that he had killed and the thousand more lives that he had ruined. Though forced regeneration was an option, no one believed that the Time Lord would stay put on any one planet that he was sentenced to. Therefore, the original sentence of life within the cells of the Citadel was upheld. He would have round the clock guards and if he did try to escape they were ordered to kill him on sight. Whether or not the Outlaw cared about his sentence was unclear as he continued to not say one word in his defense even as he was led out of the Council room. The Master had no doubt that the Outlaw was already planning his escape and that soon enough he would be asked to catch him again.

After the trial, the three of them returned to the Master's home. The Doctor immediately climbed the stairs to the small room that he had been given. The Master followed him though, and taking his hand led him to a larger room at the end of the hall.

"This is your home too now," The Master informed him. Opening the door revealed a large bedroom decorated in the same blue color that the Doctor favored. The bed in the middle of the room was large enough for the three of them to share and the Doctor climbed up on it eager to rest. Jack and the Master joined him shortly after. The Doctor still wasn't well enough to participate in their love making, but that didn't stop him from kissing the Master and running his hands across his body as Jack moved inside of the Master. The Master held on to the Doctor as he moaned both their names. Finding their release, the three of them collapsed onto the bed with the Doctor in the middle once more. In the morning, there would be a new universe to explore with new planets and dangers. For now all that matter was the feel of each other's bodies as they drifted off to sleep.
