Then come to me? Don't keep a lid on it, it's too big for you to .. I'll make you a deal. If you come to me, for everything you tell me, I'll tell you something I never talked about before. [WHAT THE FUCK IS HE SAYING? It's out of his mouth before he can engage his brain]

Uhm. I did make the effort, once they'd stopped all that screaming.

[Janie nods, not realizing how easily abused that offer can be.]

I learned to tune it out. To turn myself off...

[His head is spinning a bit. An act of trust, maybe, or complete and utter insanity]

I could if I had to. There's been times on missions... Think we can keep Cattivo locked up somehow? Get him eaten over and over again? [He's almost joking]

[Maybe it won't come up? Maybe?]

[...And Janie just did something weird with time, just for a second, a flash of power] Do you want me to do that? I will.. His alternates.

[It might actually do the idiot angel some good if it did]

No! I.. no. [That's a little alarming, that thing there, he can feel it but doesn't know what she's done]

[Okay, will file that away for future knowledge]

Right. I won't. I'll leave him alone. [Annd, she calms down. Silly powers that she can't control yet!] I could do it. Whatever you want.

[There's something truly powerful in Janie. Ylaia was right, she'll become far more powerful than Phoenix.. it's kinda sexy]

Uhh.. yeah. We.. Honey, we can't let ourselves become no better than them. Killing's one thing. Eternal torment.. that's not something you should take lightly.

He deserves it.

[And she'll stop now. Because she can't go to a place that dark right now.]

I can't believe anyone deserves that. Not anyone. And if they do..it's not our place to decide.

...I'm sorry I got so mad.

I'm... sorry I tried to leave you. Everyone, and that you had to find out through Lynn.

She'd promised not to tell anyone.

[He's still hugging her] I'm sorry you've had to go through all this alone. And it's okay, you know what kids are like. She wants to make you happy..

Oh. Shit. There's some stuff you might not know...

Sometimes I-

What is it? Something wrong?

Remember those crossbows? You still have yours? and all that uh.. clothing.

Lynn's been drawing pictures, the things she draws are happening.. oh. And she has a yard full of pets.

...Yes? I rather like the crossbow, it's in my favorite color.

She what? How? I haven't seen her recently so she's said nothing to me.

I have no idea, some kind of wish ability. She has Frellian worms for fucks sake... don't worry they're separated from anything else, and Lynn, and they have plenty of carcasses to eat thorough.

*reaches in her pocket, and frowns*

...The explosion. It must have. The boat is programmed to always finish a trip. To leave, go to a destination, and return. I set it that way so it'd never be lost.

And Lynn, she affected reality by just existing. Do you think somehow that the explosion is allowing her to create?

It has to finish it's trip, and because of the explosion, there's a time loop? [He ponders the matter a little]

With Lynn, I'd say a whole bunch of weird stuff is possible. [Is his scientific analysis]

Yes. Which would explain why I went back to the ship several times after the initial explosion.

...I don't know how to raise her.

If you're not going back any more, that's suggest the loop's moved forward.... maybe it'll complete it's cycle?

Have you tried raising her like an ordinary kid?

...Soon?

How do you raise a normal kid? I've got no idea and I don't remember the stuff from when I was with Ian. I've gone back and watched but...

I can't anymore. It makes me feel terrible and then I want him all over again, then my mind goes back to the people that I've lost.

I.. have no idea. Any way we can measure its progress?

Gods. There's a question. Maybe I'm overprotective with Sammy, but .. just love her. Kids need rules, they need to know they're loved. It's hard work I know, but.. routine. Regular routine's good. They need skills for when they're adults, and parents, even little godlings.

I'm not sure.

She's got to know I love her. She's just a handful... but I'll try.

What we need is a Time lord, preferably one with a TARDIS. they have loads of timey wimey measuring stuff in those things.

Well, she's not had so much in the way of rules - and that's not your fault. So it'll be awkward at first. But it'll get easier once she understands her boundaries.

The only one of that lot I trust is The Master, unless you know a Time Lord that I can get along with.

I'll take your word for it, Phoenix, though I don't think she'll ever be a fan of school.

Does he have a TARDIS? The Doctor.. well the alternate from my world doesn't really like me, and I wouldn't trust the Master. Not really. Kinda. Actually, if yours is a ghost, maybe he doesn't need a TARDIS?

That's completely normal. I educate Sam myself, gives us time together, and I can make sure it's not mind numbingly boring.
