Luke knew he was dreaming once more. He went to find Kate, maybe she could help him with the next bit, to help her return home. Kate stood there waiting for him.

"I found you, I figured it out." Kate smiled "How do we get you back? Do we try and find your Dad?"

"You don't find him, you tell him." she stood in front of him "You already know how. You saw me do it, remember. Remember what I did, on the Uvodni ship. Remember Luke." she disappeared from sight.

He woke up and sat at breakfast scowling, everyone had been talking of ways to get Kate back but none of them led anywhere.

"I remember." he stated and everyone stopped. "Kate phone, where is it?" he asked Clyde

"I have it, here." he put it on the table "she's been getting texts from some random number I had to put it on silent." Luke ran upstairs and everyone followed

"Mr Smith, there is a program for a Mauve distress signal, can you broadcast it out with the encryption of the last know place Kate is in recorded history?"

"Processing." Luke turned to everyone

"When we were on the Uvodni ship, Kate said she created a Mauve distress signal incase things went side ways. You said yourself you can't find him, Mr Smith says that time lords have the ability to regenerate, which means there is more than one version of him out there, all he needs is to be told. Tell him where she is through the signal program she set up and brings her back."

"That's brilliant."

"Broadcasting..." the signal for broadcasting popped up on screen. Just then a flash of light appeared and went leaving behind a cloaked figure. Sarah Jane stepped forward and turned the figure over revealing a passed out Kate. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Kate woke up a couple of hours later and groaned but sat herself up and looking around. She broke out into a huge smile after seeing her family and friends.

"Did you miss me?" Clyde tackled her into a hug then helped her stand.

"Where the hell of you been?" Clyde snapped at her. Kate took a deep breath and explained what had happened in her time away; How she had been sent to her biological mother Cleopatra, only to then be almost married and in a desperate attempt to return here she instead found herself with Alexander the great before eventually one of the incarnations of her father came thanks to the signal and fixed her vortex manipulator, that was after an argument about safety.

"I really have to thank you Luke, for figuring it out." Kate smiled gratefully at him.

"Anytime, I'm just glad that you're back." The two of them hugged and Maria stepped forward with a bag, holding it out to Kate.

"I figured you'd want a fresh set modern clothe, after being stuck in the past."

"Thank you Maria."

As far as Carla knew, Kate had been on a exchange program and that she was happy to be back. Kate and Clyde felt guilty about the false memory but both agreed that her knowing the truth, she wouldn't be able to handle it yet. She would know eventually, she had to but now was not the time. Kate and Clyde sat across from each other in Kates room.

"So your an alien?" Clyde asked awkwardly.

"I'm part alien, part human." Kate answered, she knew she would have to face questions

"But how does that work because I've grown up with you, you've broken your arm, had blood tests, X-rays and..." Clyde began to rant, Kate rested her hands on his arms.

"Clyde, relax. I'm still your sister, no matter my genetics." he stopped and took a deep breath "and to answer your question it's complicated, not even I fully understand but I'll try. When I was born, my time lord DNA was dormant and I was essentially human, however when I was nine and I travelled with Dad it woke up my dormant genetics, and slowly over the years I've been changing. I'm a hybrid of two species" she explained and Clyde understood as best he could.

"How much are you changing though? Are you going to die, please tell me you're not going to die."

"I'm not dying. But everything dies eventually. Clyde I...I don't know the full extent of my change I know that the chances of me getting sick from and human desire have gone down dramatically, but you should know and so should the others, there is a possibility I could regenerate."

"What does that mean?"

"When a time lord is dying there is this trick that we can do a way to cheat death but that means I will change, my cells, my appearance will be different like a computer program rewrite. No, no. It's like a...a transfer? Every single file and programming just in a new body. I don't know if I have that ability but there is a possibility that one day I will come home and I won't look like this anymore." Kate glanced at herself in the mirror.

"You'll be different?"

"Everything that you love about me will stay the same just different packaging. Besides I don't know if I can change, it's a possibility there is also a possibility that I will just be dead,dead. Being who I am, its the definition of complicated
