19809 years in the future...

'What have you done?'

The Bad Wolf looked at the Time Lord, curiously. She didn't just see his face any more. So, so many faces. Some old, some young, but all him. In that moment, she witnessed every moment of his life from birth to death and the Bad Wolf knew what to do.

'I looked into the TARDIS and the TARDIS looked into me.'

'You looked into the time vortex, Rose, nobody is supposed to see that!' Rose. The Bad Wolf liked that name. Her human side, her humanity came from the girl called Rose.

Something interrupted the Bad Wolf's musings. 'This is the abomination!'

Another: 'Exterminate!'

An insignificant energy beam was shot towards the Bad Wolf. She raised a hand and the beam halted. Interesting... She could sense the Time Lord's shock and surprise and found it amusing.

'I am the Bad Wolf,' she explained. 'I create myself. I take the words,' she looked above her, where her name was written in large letters on the wall. She could feel them, feel their meaning like she could feel the passage of time. 'I scatter them, in time and space.' If she could manipulate the passage of time, the Bad Wolf could manipulate the meaning of the words, too. A message for Rose Tyler - for her. 'A message, to lead myself here.'

The Time Lord was afraid. 'Rose, you've got to stop this, you've got to stop this now! You've the entire vortex running through you're head, you're gonna burn!'

He was right, of course. The Doctor was almost always right. His concern for her awakened Rose Tyler, the human part of the Bad Wolf. Almost as if another person was feeling it, she could sense the love and concern flow from the Bad Wolf's twin consciousness. 'I want you safe, my Doctor,' the Bad Wolf said, but it was Rose Tyler talking. 'Protected from the false God.'

'You cannot hurt me,' that insignificant life form, the Dalek Emperor spoke. The one who called himself the God of All Daleks. The Bad Wolf nearly laughed at their words: 'I am immortal.'

'You are tiny,' the Bad Wolf said. Images flashed in front of her mind's eye. She was pleased to see the number was very short. 'I can see the whole of time and space, every single atom of your existence, and I divide them.' A thought was all it took. The Bad Wolf found she could manipulate matter, too. The Daleks watching her dispersed in a shimmer of golden dust. 'Everything must come to dust,' she said mournfully. 'All things. Everything dies. The Time War ends.'

'I will not die!' the False God was clinging to hope and denial, it's insane humanity springing to the surface. 'I cannot di-i-i-ie!' It's disexistence was elementary to the Bad Wolf. She could do anything. The possibilities were endless, but her time was running out.

'Rose, you've done it, now stop.' It was the Time Lord. Rose Tyler's Doctor. The reason for her existence. 'Just let go.'

Rose's consciousness surfaced again, her human mind spinning with the same possibilities as the Bad Wolf. 'How can I let go of this?'

She could feel Rose searching for something using their new senses. The Bad Wolf found it first, and knew what Rose wanted. An act of creation to balance the destruction she had wrought. Rose focused on one life, the Bad Wolf, taking in her infinite view of the universe, focused on another.

'I bring life.'

Simultaneously, and 19809 years apart, Captain Jack Harkness and Ianto Jones both gasped their way back to life.
