Forget Me

The Doctor and Romana have both escaped The Time War, with their relationship in pieces. Romana resents The Doctor for destroying Gallifrey and The Doctor hates himself for surviving. The both run into a human called Rose Tyler and they hear The Doctor being called at van Statten and Satellite Five. First in Me series.

Chapter 1: Surviving

Romana hit the door of hers and The Doctors room on the TARDIS with a cricket bat. She had ran into The Doctor, calling himself 'The Renegade', stealing The Moment, a weapon that had the power to destroy Gallifrey.

"Theta, let me out now!" Shouted Romana, hitting the door.

Silence greeted the angry Time Lady, when she suddenly felt a sharp stabbing pain in her telepathic nerve centre, a small section of her brain that connected her to other Time Lord/Ladies. Her hands flew up to her head and grasped the back of it.

Romana collapsed to her knees as she felt her connection to the other Time Lords and Gallifrey being severed. Romana searched for other Time Lords and only found The Doctor. Romana quickly realised why he had stolen The Moment from the Omega Arsenal vaults. She heard the lock on the door click open.

Romana got to her feet and headed for the Console room, finding The Doctor as he finished Regenerating. As the last evidence of regeneration died down, Romana stalked up to him and punched him in the face.

"HOW COULD YOU?!" Screamed Romana, a couple of tears sliding down her face.

The Doctor stared at her trying to figure out what had just happened, so Romana punched him again.

"HOW COULD YOU KILL THEM?!" Screamed Romana, anger coursing through her.

"It was Gallifrey or the Universe, I couldn't save both." Said The Doctor, trying to justify his actions.

"THAT'S NOT AN EXCUSE!" Screeched Romana, slapping him.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY THEN?!" Bellowed The Doctor, suddenly losing his temper, not that it fazed Romana.

"I WANT YOU TO TELL ME THE TRUTH! I WANT YOU TO TELL ME HOW MANY YOU'VE MURDERED!" Screamed Romana, before continuing in a slightly calmer tone, "How many children did you slaughter, Doctor?" She said his name mockingly.

"2.47 Billion, and my reason for destroying Gallifrey?" Said The Doctor, looking down at Romana, "Well, War Queen, Rassilon was going to initiate the Final Sanction and destroy the Universe. Now that wouldn't have happened if you hadn't got and restored The Master, now would it?"

Romana glared at her husband, "I wish you had died with them."

The Doctor stared at her for a moment before turning to the Console.

"Your new room's been set up, The TARDIS will guide you to it." Said The Doctor, his voice emotionless.

Romana didn't respond as she left the Console room. The Doctor stood there silently, before walking to the other side of the console and pulling a metal scalpel from under the console. Blocking himself from Romana, he rolled up his sleeve and pressed the scalpel on his skin.

Romana entered the Console room, expecting to find The Doctor standing by the controls but, to her surprise, she only found his old Sonic Screwdriver, his scarf, waist coat and a pool of red liquid. The Console beeped and thin metal tube extended itself from the Console, it had a cracked porcelain effect that was black in colour and a purple light. A similar one was next to it but the porcelain was a grey-ish cream colour and the emitter Diode was blue. Romana turned her Sonic towards the puddle of red and scanned it.

Romana stopped when her device reported what it was. Romana stared at the small pool of blood next to the Console, Romana then noticed that the scarf was blood soaked and the waist coat was bloodstained.

Romana stepped backwards and pressed herself against the Console, quickly snapping back to her senses she ran towards the infirmary, hoping to find the Doctor there. Her brown eyes were wide with fear and her auburn hair whipped behind her as she ran. Upon entering the infirmary she found The Doctor with his back to her, trying to wrap his bleeding arm.

"What are you doing?" Asked Romana, The Doctor stiffened when he heard her speak.

"Nothing." Said The Doctor, panic in his tone.

"Nothing includes wrapping your arm in gauze to stop it from bleeding from a wound you clearly didn't have thirty minutes ago." Said Romana, walking around to face the Doctor from the front, "So you're keeping the jacket then?"

The Doctor nodded. Romana slowly peeled back the gauze, to look at the wound. For the second time in the span of an hour she was shocked to find it wasn't random lines, rather a number.

2.47 000,000,000

Romana stared at the number, before taking a fresh piece of gauze, placing it on The Doctor's arm and wrapped it to his arm with a bandage.

"Promise me you will never do this again." Whispered Romana, looking at The Doctor.

The Doctor didn't respond, he just kept looking down.

"Theta, Lowkept kt dwn ress vtato sny dwnoptsj qiqev." Said Romana, tears coming to her eyes. (Theta, Promise me you will never cut yourself again.)

"Qsoemuy, E lowkept." Said The Doctor, looking up at Romana. (Alright, I promise.)

Romana nodded and wrapped her arms around The Doctor, burying her face into his shoulder.

"Romana, I'm-" Said the Doctor but Romana cut him off.

"It's alright, I forgive you." Whispered Romana, not moving from they're embrace.
