Army of Ghosts

Tyra walked into the console room after finishing to get dressed. She had slept in the clothes from the day before and had been feeling somewhat gross after the Doctor had woken her up this morning.

"Don't you look... professional today," the Doctor remarked with a teasing grin.

Tyra rolled her eyes "Shut up," she huffed, looking down at her outfit. Since she had taken a liking to the more formal attire she had worn with Queen Victoria, she found herself quite a few similar outfits. A white button-up with a black waistcoat over it and to combat the sheer formality of it, she had put on a pair of ripped black skinny jeans and sneakers. All in all, this was starting to turn into one of her favourite outfits quickly. She liked the fact that it made her look older than some of her other clothes as well.

"It looks good though," the Doctor murmured quietly, turning back to the console.

"Thanks," Tyra snorted "I think..."

It was then that Rose appeared with a huge, red rucksack that – even for Tyra – looked as if it weighed a ton "I'm ready."

"Alright then," the Doctor exclaimed, throwing the Tardis into motion. It had been decided earlier that they would go back to London to visit Jackie for a little while. Tyra was sure that it was also for her sake after what happened with Chloe. The Doctor wanted to give her a little downtime without wanting to be too obvious about it. Whether he was trying to hide it or not, he was worried about how Tyra was doing "Here we are. Powell Estate."

Rose grinned excitedly, stepping out of the Tardis with the bag now slung over her shoulder. Tyra followed the Doctor quietly, looking around the playground they had landed in "It's funny," she murmured, ignoring the looks she was getting "How the whole world changed in... a few hundred years. Back then, we were playing with mud and stones and twigs."

"They still do that," the Doctor pointed out "It's just more now. Where is this coming from all of a sudden?"

Tyra shrugged "Honestly, I have no idea. Just came to mind."

The Doctor nodded, trying not to let her see how unconvinced he really was and held out his hand "Come on, let's go and visit Jackie."

"I'm sure that's what you're looking forward to the most," Tyra teased, placing her hand in his.

"Yeah," the Doctor muttered, walking after Rose.

"Mum, it's us," Rose shouted as she entered the flat "We're back."

"Oh, I don't know why you bother with that phone," Jackie cried out, hurrying over to them "You never use it."

Rose rolled her eyes "Just shut up and come here." She pulled her mother into a tight hug as the Doctor looked on with a smile.

"I love you so much," Jackie cried out. Tyra squeezed past them and was about to go to the living room when Jackie let go of Rose, turning her attention to her and the Doctor "Oh no, you don't." She grabbed him "Come here." With that, she planted a big kiss on him despite his continued protests. Tyra couldn't quite stop then grin from showing on her face when he tried to get her off him "Oh, you lovely big fella. Oh, you're all mine."

The Doctor shifted, his hands flailing around "Just... Just... Just put me down," he spoke, trying to speak over her.

"Yes, you are," Jackie continued, kissing him one more time before smiling at Tyra "Tyra."

"Hi, Jackie," Tyra nodded, allowing Jackie to pull her into a quick hug "It's good to see you again."

Jackie pressed a motherly kiss to her cheek "And you."
