I-- I know. [ ahahahaha, well. In a manner of speaking. Though she knows better know than she did back home what was happening. That he didn't really die, that he never mentioned their run-in with the Cybermen, who the other him was. Still, it's a lot to process and she was still grieving him and she is beside herself with relief that he wasn't dead. ] I'm here, I'm here.

[ she cuts off the connection and all but slams in the door. ]

Doctor!

[ Charley, on the other hand, throws herself into his arms and bursts into tears, clinging tightly to him. ]

God, I thought you were dead! You were dead and I was trapped on the cybership when it crashed and then you came for me but it wasn't you and-- and I thought you were dead!
theheroheart: (uncertain)

What Cybersh-- The one the Cybermen originated from, of course. The ones on the Batavia? January 15th, 1942? Right after-- [ her voice hitches, and she closes her eyes. ] Right after C'rizz died. You tried to take me home but we ended up in 2008. Oh, you must remember!

[ She gapes at him for a moment.

He'd forgotten. He'd forgotten that they'd had one last victory lap, that she was even starting to change her mind, and all he'd had was that irritated moment when she stormed off to the hotel and left him that note.

Frankly, she looks a little horrified.
]

Oh... Oh Doctor. Oh, I'm so sorry, you-- whatever Byron did to you, it must've-- you forgot. We left you on the floor of the console room, and you didn't have a heartbeat, not on either side, I thought you were dead, and then when I was trying to get back, the HADS activated before I could get back in and...

[ she lets out a deep breath ] Oh, you must've revived on your own somehow, and-- no wonder you weren't the one who found me.
theheroheart: (scherzo)

[ she laughs a little, watery with tears - of grief and relief all at once. Wanker, making her cry. ]

I built a crystal radio, out of what was left of the Cybership. Sent out an SOS, every hour, for... well, a while. And then the TARDIS appeared, but it wasn't you. [ she shakes her head ] Six. It was Six, not that I knew that. Blue jacket, blonde curls, fondness for cats. It was just-- yesterday, I suppose, I hadn't-- and being back here is just--

[ She tightens her hold on him again, kissing his cheek ]

How long was I gone this time? It wasn't long, was it? Have we lost anyone else?

Oh, that's right, that was... yesterday, blimey. [ She kisses him briefly, a hand on each cheek, then looks up at him with concern ] How did it go? Of all the times for me to up and disappear...

[ She tugs him down, pulling his head to her shoulder and running her fingers through his hair ]

Oh, my darling, darling man. [ she kisses his hair softly ] It's all right. It is. No matter what happened, even if you... chose it, you became the Doctor again. All right? It... [ she huffs a little, sadly ] I'm so sorry.
theheroheart: (thoughtful)

[ Charley just holds on to him, standing in the hallway, murmuring nonsense and softly humming snatches of lullabies and absent melodies.

This had been building for a long time. Probably since he read her letter, if not before. She would absolutely let him get it out of his system. Hopefully it would help.

Shhh, I've got you. I've got you, it's all right. It'll be all right.
