"Doctor, I never told you, but I have a secret, I only told one person in this universe, and that was Doctor Jackson. He needed to know. Doctor, my father was a Timelord. I'm sorry I didn't tell you about it sooner," she hung her head slightly, she was embarrassed. "I regenerated, I didn't know I'd be able to do it, but I did. I don't know why I even did what I did, it was foolish. I just wanted to make sure you were safe, I was so worried about you," she lifted her head now, so she was looking in his eyes as she finished, "Dad." And suddenly, the pieces all clicked in the Doctor's mind.

"That's how you knew so much about me!" The Doctor exclaimed, realizing the truth finally. "That was how your mother knew so much about me!" he stomped around in a few tight circles, trying to express what he couldn't find a way to say. Kara took him by the shoulders, holding him still and looked into his eyes, so he could see into hers. The Doctor began to calm down, much to Kara's relief.

"Yes, Doctor, I am your daughter. I've knows this. Don't let it bother you though; I'm still your companion, think of me like that. I just wanted to let you know that I am not totally human, that I am part Timelord. Please, Doctor, you have always treated me the way I want to be treated, don't let that change because you know my heritage. I am the same person I always was, Doctor, you just know the truth now. Please, let me know that you will treat me the same as you have always treated me. Please, Doctor, do that for me," her eyes were pleading.

"Kara, I would never treat you like that. I had a son once... no idea what happened to him any more. You're far too important to the universe for me to loose you like that again! Kara, I won't treat you any differently than I did before, you are the same person, like you said, why shouldn't I act that way?" he gazed on her with loving eyes, she was the perfect companion before... He shook his head slightly and then picked her up and spun her around. "My daughter," he said under his breath, "Fantastic," the soft smile spread across his face, nothing quite like his maniacal grin, but a smile full of love for Kara. He promised himself he would never lose her again, she was far too precious.

"Where's the TARDIS?" Kara asked, she wanted to see the universe, if her time with the other Doctor and those young wizards had taught her anything, it was to appreciate what is around you. Kara knew that she did not have an eternity, but she could still see so much and do so much before she died, and she wasn't about to let that slip through her fingers.

"I don't know," the Doctor said softly, three weeks had passed since he had showed up at the Mythbusters shop, and there was no sign of the TARDIS since it disappeared. He sighed slightly. "Kara, why don't we go out side, I need some air," the Doctor and Kara headed outside, leaving Tori behind, wondering why people paid more attention to chopped liver than to him, he knew this as a fact. They had tested a myth not long before that included chopped liver. It had received far more attention than he was right now. Glumly, Tori followed the Doctor and Kara outside, hoping that he'd get another chance to travel with them. He had been badly hurt when he realized what had happened and he now had another chance to see the universe. He liked his job on Mythbusters, but it paled in comparison to what life with the Doctor offered him. Once outside the shop, the Doctor heard Kara laugh.

"Why, Doctor! There's the TARDIS! Right there!" She smiled and pointed to a corner of the parking lot. The Doctor looked up and saw that Kara was right. The TARDIS had returned. Shaking his head in utter disbelief, the Doctor went over and just stared at his TARDIS. What did it think it was doing? It wasn't supposed to wander off like that! But it was back now, and the Doctor was glad of that, even if he felt that the TARDIS felt slightly smug. He shrugged slightly, it didn't really matter now. He wanted to go, get away from this place, the place that had held him in his pain. He wanted to go out, to return to the stars, return to the adventuring he loved. He wanted to show his daughter everything. There was a whole universe out there, and Kara had barely seen any of it. There were so many places for her to go. So many things for her to see, and he could take her. He could take her to every one of them. He had suggested Atlantis to her before, but he hadn't taken her there, he wanted to take her there now. There was so much for her to do, so much for her to see.

"Kara," he said, turning to the beautiful redhead that was his daughter, feeling the pride swell within him. "Remember how I suggested Atlantis to you before?" Kara looked at him oddly, but happily, nodding that she did remember. "Do you want to go there? That could be our first stop," he smiled, and as Kara went to answer, Tori spoke out, saying what had been weighing on his mind.

"Doctor, I was wondering," he gathered himself, getting ready for this; he was almost hoping that the Doctor would deny him, and yet terrified that he would. "Could I come with you again? I," he didn't know what to say anymore, but he tried anyways. "I don't feel like I belong, anywhere," he looked at the Doctor, his conflicting emotions raged, but he still kept from returning to the shop. He didn't know what he'd do either way. He knew he'd end up dwelling on how he had been refused a second chance if he was refused, and if the Doctor said yes, Tori knew he'd miss his work, it just felt right to be where he had been for these past several years.

"Tori," the Doctor said slowly, sensing the inner turmoil that raged inside his former companion, "Do you really want to come with me? You've got a good life here, if I were you, I wouldn't want to give it up. But if you really want to come with me, you can. I just can't guarantee that you'll feel as comfortable with it as you did last time. It's up to you Tori. You can come with me, constantly in danger of aliens, or you can stay here, in constant danger of a really bad myth," he smiled slightly at Tori, who was thinking about this. The Doctor knew what Tori would choose, "So, do you really want to come?" Tori shook his head, he did want to go with the Doctor, but he did have something where he was, and he enjoyed it, more than he had ever realized before.

"You're right, Doctor, I do have a good life here. I just didn't know it. I never realized how much I liked this place, not until you put it in that light. Thank you, Doctor; you've given me a new way of looking at this place. Good bye, Doctor. Good bye, Kara. Have fun, and come back to visit sometime! I'd love it if you did!" with that Tori started back into the warehouse to return to working. Kara waited a moment and then ran after Tori. She gave him a hug and whispered in his ear.

"I'll miss you, Dave. You're a good guy," she smiled at him and headed back to the Doctor and the TARDIS. She and the Doctor stepped into the box and the Doctor began fiddling with the controls, grinning madly. The TARDIS began to move and Kara began to grin with a furious intensity that matched her father's.
