So enjoy!

~Dame Rose Tyler

Rose Tyler had been trapped in the alternate universe for five years before they noticed the changes in the structure of her DNA and the rate in which she aged. By the time ten years had passed her brain capacity had surpassed any humans as she gained all of the knowledge of the Time Lords.

It was then that the Torchwood scanners first picked up the alien signal threatening of war. The language it was sent in and the persons it pertained to where only familiar to Rose. Rose had listened to it again and again alone in her office. Every day she struggled to fight back the tears that threatened to fall. Davros and the Daleks where still here in this universe, still a threat.

So she did the only thing she could, she organized a front and went to war against enemies that were not hers. After a few years of research and the knowledge of the past adventures with the Daleks, Rose created a delta wave. Against all the wishes of Torchwood and her family Rose elected to be the sole person to deliver it. Why, because she knew she would be the only one able to survive it. What was a single regeneration to the face of humanity and the universe right?

It wasn't until the deed was done and Skaro was destroyed did she realize the magnitude of the consequences. The universes greatest threat was destroyed and with it came the Time Lords. They did not come to praise Rose or give her thanks for her deed. As far as she could tell they had no idea what their futures would have held. So there she was being shackled and escorted into a Tardis. Mickey and her mother were struggling against Torchwood security in a strained effort to protect Rose. She could only look at them and smile

"It's ok; they don't know who I am or where I come from. If I don't see you again, I love you all." Rose shouted over her shoulder as the Tardis door closed behind her. Jackie turned and fell into Mickey's arms crying. She knew that with those words Rose would be ok, but it still did not lessen the pain of her loss for any of them.

When they landed on Gallifrey, Rose was escorted to the lowest area of the Citadel. She could only smile as she looked around her cell. It was small yes and a little bit damp, but it was better than some of the ones she had seen in her past. Her cell mate was a young man with blonde hair; he looked to be no more than thirty by Earth standards. He was also looking at her like she was crazy; it only made her smile more.

"Why are you smiling? I mean, you're in jail. What is there to smile about?"

Rose turned to the young man and laughed. All he could do was stare at her like she had grown a second head.

"Trust me in my past and my line of work I've seen and been in much worse."

Rose was careful not to mention the Doctor's name for fear of this being his Gallifrey and knowing his past in regards to them. Rose turned back to the cell door and noticed a guard standing there.

"Yes, may we help you? I mean we're in a cell and there isn't much we can do for you."

The guard just glared at Rose.

"Rose Tyler of Earth, please come forward, the council will see you now."

"Oh that's good, because I have a few complaints for our lovely hosts."

Rose turned and winked at her your cellmate as the guard placed the shackles once again on her wrists. The young man could only smile and shake his head. The guard led Rose to a large circular room; it almost reminded her of a gym in high school. The ceiling was glass and appeared to shimmer like stars. So this was the main hall of the Citadel, Rose had always wondered what the Doctor had meant when he said it was intimidating. Once they had reached the podium the guard proceeded to attach a chain to Roses shackles.

Rose looked up at the figured before her, perched like vultures ready for the kill. A young woman to the left of her rose from her seat and cleared her throat, gaining everyone's attention. The older man with a tall collar attached to his robes looked at her before he spoke.

"Read the charges!" His voice boomed and echoed through the room.

The woman who had stood pointed to Rose.

"Rose Tyler, Earthling from sol 3, you have been charged with the genocide of the planet Sakro."

Rose snorted and turned her head away. The high chancellor glared and Rose and her behavior. The woman continued before anything could be said about it though.

"The punishment in accordance with the order of the Shadow Proclamation is death."

Rose's head shot up and she stared at the woman for a moment.

"Oi, come on now! I was doing you a favor!"

A hushed murmur rose up around her as the people viewing her trial questioned the truth of her statement. The head man before her glared at her rude behavior. Rose smiled in return and just kept thinking of the Doctor saying he was rude and not ginger. Apparently she had been hanging around him too much because it was rubbing off.

"Explain yourself child of Earth! How can someone as low as apes possibly have done us the Time Lords a favor."

Ok, Rose now realized that this was not the Doctors Gallifrey. It was a good thing too because it made getting out of this a little easier.

"Ok, I'm not from this universe. The one I'm from Gallifrey was destroyed in the Time War by the Daleks and their creator a mad man named Davros. Only one Time Lord survived that blood bath, and he was my friend. I traveled with him for awhile before I ended up here."

The crowed as well as the council's eyes went wide. The woman who read her charges was the first to say anything.

"How are you here?'

"I was trapped here when he sealed the door between the universes after we sent the Daleks and the cybermen into the void."

Rose took that moment to release her mental barriers. The head chancellors head shot up from his notes as he stared down at her, shock written all over his face.

"One mis-adventure with said Time Lord turned me into one as well."

The chancellor looked from Rose at the other members of the council. Each of them wore the same shocked expression he had just had himself.

"We shall reconvene in private and discuss this matter further. Guards please escort her to a suit. Shackles will no longer be necessary."

Rose smiled and nodded to the head chancellor as the guards removed her shackles and escorted her from the room.

Ok, that's it for chapter one! Review, review, review! I'll post more if you do! I really want to know what everyone thinks of this story.
