Hi all! Sorry for taking longer than usual to update this chapter. I was taking summer classes and they picked up, and I was also planning for an August daily one-shot challenge I plan on participating in. Please look out for that! I'm working super hard on it.

Please also check out my other one-shot series, based off of Taylor Swift's album Lover. Each one-shot is an individual story, but the order is in my bio.

Ok, shameless plug over. On with the story!

Warning: bit of an info dump during the first section. Just to give you some ideas of the differences in this AU from canon.

***SPOILER*** also character death.

Chapter Word Count: 2,047

The Doctor couldn't believe what he was seeing. Pushing his brainy secs up his nose, he looked again to make sure that his eyes weren't playing tricks on him (not that they could). But there it was: Melody Pond was a Gallifreyan, human, and Time Vortex hybrid. He couldn't even begin to think of how that was possible or the possible consequences genetically.

He watched as Bow Tie sifted through all the information. "Well, Mickey already put all of this on the data chip I gave them. The one from my timeline would've had it done in half the time and would've known what information is important. But he and Martha just had their first baby, and I couldn't take either of them away from him. And my Donna just got married, otherwise I would've gotten her. She's Rory's godmother, so she would've been in full Valkyrie mode. We might've already been on the way home." He either didn't see or was ignoring the surprised looks from his younger selves. The Doctor suspected it was the latter. He noticed something on the screen a split second before Bow Tie went past it.

"Wait, go back! There!" He pointed to the screen. "That strand of Melody's DNA. What is it? Where does it come from?" The Doctor had never seen anything like it. Some strands of his granddaughter's DNA were neither Time Lord nor human. It looked familiar, but he couldn't for the lives of him remember where he'd seen it before. Well, given he was standing next to his younger self he knew one place.

"Hold on, that's pure huron energy. How the bloody hell did huron energy get integrated into a child's DNA." Big Ears's eyes widened when he realized something, and The Doctor realized it a moment after him. "Where was she conceived?" Bow Tie gave both his younger selves a disgusted look.

"I don't know, it's not like I know that information! I don't want to know, thank you very much We didn't even know Amy was pregnant until we knew she was kidnapped, which was hours before I sent signals to you. Oh, don't give me those looks. She was replaced by a ganger duplicate. Long story.

"Rory was conceived on The TARDIS (or at least we're pretty sure he was, it might've been Zuthea). Anyway, I don't know about Melody. For one, Rory and Amy don't travel with us full time, they live in early 2010s London. For another, well the timeline is complicated. About five busses and a taxi away from slightly normal. First, I accidentally left Rose and Rory for twelve years. By the time I came back he and Amy had already been dating for two years. Rose, Rory, and Amy were back on the TARDIS after I got to them, and Rory proposed a few months after that.

"Then Rory got erased for existence and turned into an auton. Then I accidentally changed Amy into a Gallifreyan after the universe ended when The TARDIS exploded with Rose and River inside. Then I rebooted the universe." He was about to continue his ramble when he saw the looks he was getting from his younger selves. They were an odd mixture of horrified, interested, and annoyed (in that order). "It's a long story." He finished rather lamely. The Doctor didn't even know where to begin sifting through the information just dumped on him. He settled for ignoring it for now, as he knew he'd experience that particular adventure soon enough. He got the important bits though.

Before anyone could make another comment, however, the monitor on the other side of the room flashed on. All three of them turned quickly to see Madam Kovarian on the screen. She grinned down at them maliciously.

"How the hell did you get out of Judoon custody?" Bow Tie snarled. The Doctor was a little surprised at the hostility, as his future self seemed to be mostly calm. Or at least calmer than himself or Big Ears.

"In order to escape custody, I must first have been in it at all. Oh, Doctor. Fooling you once was a joy, but fooling three of you the same way? It's a privilege." The Doctor stepped forward.

"What do you want with our granddaughter?" A part of him couldn't believe he was even saying the words. The rest of him was worried for her, his mind going through a hundred thousand horrible ways they could use a baby. To his surprise, Kovarian shrugged.

"Honestly, nothing. We didn't even know that Amelia was with child when we took her. She was just the bait, Doctor. Bait that you followed and swallowed whole. But the Time Lord wasn't the fish we wanted to catch. We know the legends about your species. Attacking you isn't the only way to take you down." There was a voice calling off screen, and Kovarian turned to look at the speaker before turning back. "Ah well, it looks like my time is up. Thanks for falling for this little distraction. Also, this is a recorded message. You're just too predictable sometimes." She grinned as the screen turned off.

As soon as the screen was black, the older Him cried out and held his head. His expression switched from pain to horror. He ran out the door after whispering a single word: Rose. The Doctor realized that, with a marriage bond, his older self would be able to feel his wife's distress. Without a second thought or even a shared glance, he and his younger self followed.

~~~~~DW~~~~~

Jackie had no clue what was going on. One moment they were all perfectly fine, if bored waiting for The Doctors to come back. The next, they were surrounded by soldiers on all sides. She had no idea where they'd come from. She barely understood what she'd been doing for the past 3 hours. Suddenly, some of the soldiers parted, and the creepy lady with an eyepatch stepped through. But Jackie thought she'd been taken away by those rhino things. She'd watched it. Jackie felt her body go rigid when then the lady addressed the older version of her daughter (which she still didn't understand).

"Rose Tyler. The Bad Wolf. The Doctor's Wife. You have caused a lot of problems for us. But your greatest asset is also your greatest weakness: your family. It was so easy to exploit it. I'm surprised it took you this long to realize she was gone. Not a very good mother-in-law, are you?" She didn't say anything, but Jackie saw her daughter's fists clench and her back go rigid, a sign she was resisting the urge to hit something. Eye Patch Lady seemed to find it amusing. "But as soon as you realized you came running. And now you're here, right where we want you."

There was a loud crash that echoed throughout the huge room. Everyone turned to see Eleven standing in a nearby doorway with Nine and Ten behind him. They all froze when they took in the sight of their loved ones surrounded. The woman sneered again as she looked at them. Jackie couldn't help but be reminded of a villain from a James Bond film. It certainly felt like she was living in one.

"The Doctor. The Oncoming Storm. The Bringer of Darkness, Destroyer of Worlds. You could fill a book with your titles alone. Not many put you in a positive light. You're called a hero and a conqueror, a savior and a warlord. You and your family have a habit of meddling with time, interfering and saving civilizations that should not have been saved. Survival of the fittest, Doctor. Or did you forget what that is? You have committed sin against this universe. Now it is time for you and your family to suffer the consequences." Without warning, every gun in the room was pointed at the older Rose. Several on their side made a move to get in front of her, but Eleven raised his hand, making them stop. He took a step forward, and something in his eyes sent a shiver down Jackie's spine. He and Eye Patch Lady glared at each other.

If this was a Bond movie and she didn't know who they were, Jackie wouldn't be able to tell who was the threat.

"I told you to run. I was giving you a chance, showing you mercy. But you are threatening the only thing in the universe that will get you mercy now. It's true, I've prevented the destruction of civilizations. But I didn't get the title Destroyer of Worlds for nothing. You forget, Kovarian. I'm a Time Lord. I know the laws of time better than anyone else. I know what can and cannot be changed. What fixed points in time must always be, what innovations or technologies must never exist.

"Time Lords weren't the only species to ever create time travel. But no species is able to sense timelines as strongly. Humans are unable to sense them at all, which is why you cause so many problems. You don't know what you're getting yourselves into half the time, have no clue how the most minuscule of actions can change the course of history. Taking down the lottery money rather than getting someone else to do it. Calling off of work to deal with family drama. Turning right instead of left. All those decisions could have gone a different way, and it would've fundamentally changed the fabric of time.

"But one decision made a difference more than any other. The decision to stay with me. Because one day, either a few months from now or centuries ago, Rose Tyler makes a decision. A decision to look into the heart of the TARDIS. My TARDIS. And that decision created an entity stronger than any of us. A literal goddess." Eleven lifted an eyebrow. "Are you afraid of the big Bad Wolf, Madam Kovarian?"

Jackie heard the TARDIS doors swing open by themselves as Eleven shouted to not look at the box. A golden light appeared, and Jackie could only assume it came from inside the police box. It passed harmlessly around them, settling around Rose. Jackie couldn't help but gasp when it formed a giant golden she-wolf at her daughter's side. It was massive, as tall as Rose herself, and stood with raised hackles while snarling at the soldiers around them. Rose turned her head, and Jackie saw that her eyes were flecked with the same golden light. The soldiers around them started getting restless, shifting their weight or holding tighter to their guns. Jackie jumped when Rose spoke, her voice echoing.

"One last chance, Kovarian. Back down now, or you and your entire army of faulty believers will be eliminated." When she was met only with a glare from the other woman, Rose simply nodded at the wolf, who jumped forward to the nearest guard.

It was the most bizarre thing that Jackie Tyler had ever seen in her life. The wolf didn't bite the soldiers, didn't claw them. It didn't attack at all. It simply ran through them. The moment the wolf touched them, the soldiers started dissolving into the same light the wolf was made out of. Most of it swirled around the wolf, but Jackie noticed that a small amount of it seemed to gather around her and the rest of their group. The army panicked. Some ran, some shouted and drew their weapons. A few fired shots at the wolf, but the bullets dissolved before they got within 3 feet of her. The wolf ignored those who tried to run away, advancing on those who stayed, starting with those who shot at her. It was as beautiful as it was horrifying.

Jackie looked around and saw that everyone else was looking in awe, especially the younger Rose. The only ones not totally surprised were those from the future. But even they looked impressed. They were all totally engrossed in watching the golden wolf as she ran around them.

None of them noticed the one soldier who aimed at a different target. The one who stood behind them and fired their gun at Rose's back. The shot rang out, Rose collapsed, and all Jackie could do was scream.

Yeah, so that last chapter title was coincidentally foreshadowing. *hides behind TARDIS* Please don't hate me. It'll all work out, I promise. There WILL be a happy ending.

Sorry if Ten's section is a little confusing. I tried to keep his mind-going-everywhere energy while not making it impossible to follow.
