She'd just have to call Shareen back, then. Her head hurt too much to move farther than up against the wall.

The only time she ever accepted a drink from a man at the bar...

"Not really getting the sunshine carnival vibe."

"No. Ooh, feel that, though, what's that? Ground feels strange..." the Doctor turned to look at Amy and Rory. "Just me. Wait... That's weird."

"What's weird?"

****^****O

The Lord Guard wishes to awake the Wolf.

It cannot be allowed!

The Lord Guard is the only one who may allow the Wolf into the Citadel. We must cooperate.

But when the Wolf awakes-

I fully understand what may occur. However, it is our only choice.

Is the Lord Guard aware of the danger?

No, and he must remain unaware. Only we, the Lord Scientist, Lord President, and Lord Warmaster are aware.

What does the Lord Guard believe?

He believes we have found a surviving Time Lady.

Is this the public story?

Yes.

Very well.

****^****R

What was happening? The estate was going all fuzzy. It was sort of fading away...

****^****O

Lord General, Lord Sergeant.

Lord Guard.

This is the Time Lady, correct?

Correct.

What is her title?

Lady Wolf.

She is unregistered.

She was found in the prison Stormcage in the fifty-first century. She was born there.

Ah. Which incarnation is this?

This is her third.

Very well. Awaken her.

****^****R

Where was she? She was surrounded by three men, all at least ten centimeters taller than her.

"Who are you?" she asked. "Where am I? What'd you do to me?"

****^****O

She is confused, Lord Guard.

I see, Lord General. Sedate her and bring her to her rooms.

Thank you, Lord Guard.

Oi, keep your hands offa me! Lemme go, you brutes! Oi! Help!

This one will certainly be a handful for our Lord President.

As well as whichever Lady Maid is assigned to the Lady Wolf.

Hold. What is the Lady's true name?

****^****R

And now she was back at the Estates. Her mum was leaning over her, taking her temperature and putting cool rags on her forehead.

"Mum, geroff!" Rose complained, shoving her mum back.

"Oh Rose, thank goodness! I was right terrified! You gave me a good turn, fallin' asleep outside with the weather bein' so crazy! I almost had a heart attack, I did!"

"'M sorry, mum. My head just hurt so much-it was hard to move."

"Oh, sweetheart, let me make you some soup. You'll feel loads better after you get something hot in you."

"Owen. What happened back there? You were all set to grab it, and then-wipeout!"

"That's the trouble, Captain. It wasn't an it."

"Of course it was. What else could it have been?"

"It was a girl. She barely looked like she'd graduated, honestly. Twenty, at the most. It looked like she'd been dyeing her hair, but most of it had grown out. She was wearing a white hospital gown."

Jack stood up so fast his chair flipped over.

"Owen, you have just single-handedly possibly saved the universe."

"Um, thanks. Doing what?"

"Discovering the Bad Wolf."

****^****O

Hello?

Who are you?

Can you wake up?

What are you doing here?

Lord General!

Lady Romana, how do you do.

I'm fine Lord General, but there is a strange woman in my chambers.

Ah, yes. Lady Romana, would it be too much to ask if you could care for her?

Whatever for?

She was raised outside of Gallifrey. She may find the customs confusing.

Ah. It would be no trouble at all, Lord General.

Excellent. You may wish to return to your chambers, she may be waking soon.

Yes, Lord General.

****^****D

"Rory!"

"It's too late, Amy. Just don't let the light hit you."

"But Rory-"

"Just keep remembering him. If you don't, there's nothing left to remember. He'll never have existed."

"Okay. Okay."

****^****O

Ah, Lady Wolf. I see you have awakened.

"What...whaddaya mean? Who's Lady Wolf?

I see the sedative they gave you has affected your mind. Just stay calm.

Where am I?

You're on Gallifrey. These will be your chambers until you are trained.

Trained? What for? What's going on?

No one informed you? There is a war going on, Lady Wolf, and all Gallifreyans are fighting in it.

You're not.

I am needed in the Citadel.

What's the-

****^****D

"Doctor! What's happening?" Amy screamed as the TARDIS started quaking.

"I don't know, Amy! Just stay calm, don't fall over!"

"What fantastic advice!"

"Amy, I don't know what to tell you! I don't know what's wrong with her!"

"It's your ship!"

"I'd know what to do if I had the manual!"

"Where's the manual?"

"In a supernova!"

The quaking ended as abruptly as it began.

"See? I told you I'd fix it." The Doctor said as he began tinkering with the console.

"Doctor..." Amy said, staring at the psychic paper the Doctor's left open on the console. "Doctor, there's a message..."

"Don't be silly Amy, there can't be a-" the Doctor looked at Amy. "Amy, there's a message on the psychic paper."

"I noticed. What's it say?"

"It's hard to read-it's all tchty."

"Tchty? What's that mean tchty?"

"It means, that the message has been distorted."

"How can psychic paper be distorted?"

"If the person sending the message is weak, if they don't know they're sending a message, if-"

"If what? Doctor, if what?"

"If they're trapped somewhere that doesn't have the same time."

"What's that mean?"

"If someone is stuck somewhere like The Medusa Cascade, or-"

"Or what?"

"Neither of the options is a good option."

"And what are the options?"

"A Time Lock, or-or an alternate universe."

"What's so bad about a Time Lock?"

"There is only one Time Lock in existence, and it holds the worst evil imaginable."

"What?"

"The Time Lords."

"Jack! The rift energy-it's off the scale!"

"Not right now, Ianto!"

"Jack! What's wrong?!"

"Nothing! Figure out what's happening and stabilize it!"

****^****O

Lady Wolf! Are you all right?

My head...

Here, let's get you a bandage-

****^****D

The Doctor doubled over in pain.

"Doctor!" Amy yelled, alarmed. "Doctor, what's wrong?"

"My head-" the Doctor's eyes widened in alarm. "Oh, no."

"What? What's wrong?"

"They're back."
