The Doctor hadn't been quite like herself, however that may be now, after the destruction of Gallifrey and learning of the Timeless Child - herself and her many previous incarnations she'd never known. She'd snapped more than once at her companions that she was fine, that they wouldn't understand, each time they expressed concern for her.

Though she was surrounded by her companions, The Doctor felt alone and confused. She'd grown reckless and desperate for answers, and in her desperation, she landed herself and her companions in a situation she'd barely managed to get them out of. Ryan, Graham, and Yaz got out without a scratch, but the Doctor wasn't as fortunate.

The Doctor limped quietly through the TARDIS doors, her head hung low and her gaze on the ground. She couldn't hide the fact that she was in a bad way. She was exhausted, physically and emotionally, and wanted to sit and cry, but she couldn't. Not in front of her fam.

It wasn't that she couldn't trust them - she could, and did, very much - it was that she'd felt so vulnerable and hadn't wanted them to see that. She was the one that saved the universe; when someone needed help, she never refused. She hadn't thought there was anyone out there that could possibly help her.

Graham was getting increasingly concerned about his friend, and he was starting to be at a loss on how to help her. She was pushing all of her 'fam' away, and that was only making things worse. She was hurting so much, and wasn't letting anyone help her.

Right now he was starting to feel more and more like her dad, like she was one of his children, crying out silently for help, but not believing she deserved it.

Coming slowly into the console room, Graham addressed the Doctor's back as he said quietly:

"Doc, this needs to stop. You need some help. Let us in, please."

**Nene** · May 11th, 2023, 05:31 AM

The Doctor drew in a deep breath and swallowed thickly to keep her composure. She kept her gaze on the console room floor, seated near the console, and she shook her head. She pulled her left leg up toward her chest to care for her injury.

"...You wouldn't understand." The Doctor insisted as she had in the past. "I'm... I'm alright, Graham. I don't need help, I need-" she paused, as she didn't know what it was that she needed, if not help from her 'fam'.

**RedDragon30000** · May 11th, 2023, 06:55 AM

Graham came towards the Doctor slowly, not wanting to spook her. He said softly:

"You see? Even you don't know what you need. Let us help."

**Nene** · May 11th, 2023, 08:44 AM

The Doctor rolled her eyes at Graham. She hadn't meant to be so rude; she felt so tired of herself and the situation she found herself and her 'fam' in. She genuinely felt there was nothing that could be done and that she had to struggle alone.

"What could you possibly do?" she asked tiredly as she untied her boots. She then winced when she realized how cold she sounded. "I'm sorry," she sighed.

Yaz rounded the console and went to the Doctor's side. She wanted to help the Doctor take care of her injury, at least get her boots off. She searched for the Doctor's gaze, only for the Doctor to look away again. "Please, let us help..." she requested gently of the Doctor.

**RedDragon30000** · May 11th, 2023, 01:45 PM

Coming up to the Doctor's other side, Graham nodded in agreement with Yaz.

"Everyone needs help sometime. Even you."

**Nene** · May 11th, 2023, 02:54 PM

The Doctor looked up when she found herself surrounded by her fam, and she sighed, bringing her hands up to her head and running her hands through her hair. She winced as she felt a tender bump on her head. She must've hit the ground harder than she thought, but never mind that.

"Not everyone can be helped," The Doctor sighed heavily, though she hadn't believed that, not really. She wasn't in a good place, and thought herself to be the exception. Despite what she was saying, she allowed Yaz to ease her boot off her injured leg.

**RedDragon30000** · May 12th, 2023, 06:31 AM

Graham frowned as he saw the Doctor wince. He asked slowly:

"Doc, how badly did you get hurt?"

**Nene** · May 12th, 2023, 11:39 AM

Ryan moved to help the Doctor out of her long coat, but the Doctor hadn't wanted this. She let him know by pulling away from him, so he backed off and stood by Yaz.

The Doctor breathed slowly as she put her feet on the floor. Her injured leg was more swollen than the other and she could not put much pressure on it. She had fallen a long distance after being ejected from a crashing shapeshifter ship and would have been crushed by parts of the ship had she not gotten out of the way in time.

"I'll be fine. Might just need a few minutes in the medical bay." The Doctor told them. It was the truth; she wasn't fatally injured and wouldn't regenerate. She placed her hands on the arms of the jump seat, fully intending to limp to the medical bay on her own.

**RedDragon30000** · May 12th, 2023, 09:32 PM

Graham narrowed his eyes as he saw what the Doctor intended. He said firmly:

"No you don't! You'll make yourself worse!"

Moving forward he suddenly scooped the Doctor off her chair and into his arms.
