Chapter 3

"I don't work for Torchwood so you can't boss me about, plus it's not my fault, sometimes I had to stop people messing up history or the future and others SATURN felt I should see certain places and she acts like my bloody mother at times do you want to argue with her? Trust me she doesn't even let me do that if she wants something important enough!" Harry eventually answered when the look still didn't move off Sirius face. Harry was really not happy having to explain this.

"He's right the ship is sentient it was picking through my mind the same time as Harry and I were looking through each other's memories, I can't always control my TARDIS if there is something she wants me to do I end up doing it no matter what." The Doctor explained coming to Harry defence he had seen all his travels in this universe and all the ones SATURN sent him on were important even him visiting Disney world to let his younger side out was important to a tot to keep them balanced at this age.

"Be grateful to her mine put me on the Titanic as she was sinking…. Twice!... I noticed the shifts in the timeline, but they always corrected themselves in nanoseconds, now it all makes sense. If it wasn't for the fact Harry is still considered a tot, I would have thought it was my TARDIS helping but she would have brought me straight to Harry when he arrived here. We do not let our tots be on their own for their first two hundred years. It's something that is just not done! Not even by a TARDIS, as for us well as I said its built into us that we care for our tots. All of our tot's! They were that precious to us as we had to loom the children ourselves, both parents creating the tot together before they were given life. Each birth was a celebration, each entering the academy as a Time lord and Lady were celebrated. Marriage was even more celebrated; it meant your houses were expanding and hopefully you would be looming more tot's eventually." The Doctor explained.

"The Master and I are from the same chapter, just different parents and we lived on different estates. Harry would still be at the academy actually learning at his age, all other transportation devices even a Vortex Manipulator is discussed and explained to us all, yet we never learnt of anything like SATURN. Not surprising really if she can go to any universe within reality. I noticed you've not visited other universes since arriving here Harry, please don't. As you know they create cracks in the universes leading to others around us and we just don't have the ability to close them one crack isn't a problem as I said but you know and have seen what multiple once can do, other than the one in Cardiff but that is a Time and space rift not a universal Crack. Very good for recharging a TARDIS actually. Anyway, if Harry is to eventually learn to pilot a TARDIS and shift through Time at will, he will need to learn all that was taught to the Master and I, luckily my TARDIS has all of that information onboard her and as Harry will need to stabilize himself, he has plenty of time to learn. That is why he needs to come with us so he can learn all we did as Time Lords plus the Master is one of his parents sadly the only parent he has left alive and they deserve to be together and to get to know one another. Harry is actually a natural at traveling even compared to me, and my TARDIS is just as aware if not more so than SATURN if for no other reason that mine has had thousands of years to learn and shift through Time herself in this universe. Whereas SATURN has not he has only been here four years and only had her twenty." The Doctor explained to them all but also talked to Harry about universe hopping.

"You don't see the problem of him going off on his own without telling any of us? He is still a child you've admitted that yourselves!" Sirius asked in a louder than normal voice.

"Well to be honest I failed my TARDIS travel test I hit the right spot I was just sightly out of the time frame, only by fifty years and they still failed me, but look at me now. I'm able to drive her perfectly!" The Doctor explained. The Master and Jack both snorted they both knew just how bad the Doctors driving was.

"Well at least if Harry learns properly, you might get there on time in the future!" The Master muttered to the Doctor but everyone heard him.

"Oyyy!" The Doctor exclaimed to the Master at that comment.

"Doctor, you took a TARDIS to the end of the universe a law strictly forbidden by them!" The master told the Doctor, the word 'them' was spat out by the Master, with a clear mind for the first time since the age of eight he was really pissed off with the High Council and what they had done to him especially now that he could think straight and what he had done throughout his life was sinking into a no longer insane mind.

"No, the TARDIS took me not the other way around and that was because Jack jumped on her as she was dematerialising. Time does not like Jack!" The Doctor exclaimed laying the blame on Jack for them ending up there. The Master and Harry looked over at Jack, Harry had seen him hundreds of times and yet other than his unkillable state felt nothing else wrong however when the Master looked at Jack his eyes widened before immediately turning to the Doctor.

"What did you do?" The Master asked shocked, making Harry look more at Jack realising the two Time Lords were seeing things he wasn't about Jack.

When the Doctor finished explaining and then telling them about losing Rose before meeting Martha. Both Harry and the Master were looking at the Doctor in shock.

"So that's how you know about other universes, the Torchwood problem and the solution you came up with? Why didn't you show me that? You said you weren't hiding anything form me!" Harry asked, hurt about other things being kept from him.

"Harry the daleks were all meant to have been trapped at the end of The Time War there shouldn't be any daleks left alive they were all supposed to be trapped with Gallifrey our home planet that they were all assaulting as I placed them in The Moment to end the war. They are the horrors that haunt the both of us and will do so to the end of our time even now. They are the enemies we fought during The Last Great Time War. I'm sorry but even though you feel like an adult I know what putting that horror on a tot could do. So, I had all the times I have run into the daleks since the Time War blocked, it's why I refused to show you the Time War from my prospective I don't think the Master let you see it from his. They allowed him to rage through the Time War without any help until he couldn't carry on any more and then he hid himself at the end of the universe where no one would find him because he knew that we would loose and there was nothing more he could do, he had given his all for Gallifrey and still it wasn't enough, you've seen inside the Masters mind, you know just how brilliant he is, how clever he is and how ingenious he is, all of that he channelled into the Time War and yet he only levelled the playing field, he only won his own battles all the rest of us were losing and the entire universe blamed our planet for it, when help was offered the High Council turned it down. What we were doing to the universe was seen as a horror by all others. Only we knew what really was at stake and the High Council put an edict in place stating that we could not explain the truth to other civilisations, what would truly happen if we lost, they only saw the destruction not all the war that raged through Time itself. It left them all bitter to Time Lords and Ladies some species still are. As I said the daleks are still out there, so are some others as well. You will need to learn about them and how to defeat them if they decide to come after us and you for our perceived feelings of irrelevance to civilisations that were warrior born or raised. others who aligned with the daleks all wanting to join the fight, but not really knowing what was happening most of the time. The daleks defeated all that went after them even us, kill us quickly enough so we can't regenerate and that's it for us we are dead returned to the matrix to live in peace with our ancestors we are taught." The Doctor explained gently to Harry.

"But you've only ever faced the daleks from the war, or have you faced others?" Harry asked the Doctor.

"Not only them, others are out there as I said, not all were caught in The Moment only the majority, The Moment was meant to stop them all, but the daleks had contingency plans of their own in case they lost, something that I didn't know about when I used The Moment to end the war." The Doctor answered.

"What is The Moment?" Jack asked the Doctor, as always he was fascinated with the Doctor with him being a Time Lord. The Doctor remained quiet for a few minutes obviously debating whether to answer or not.

"Unfortunately, just what it says, a sentient device that has a conscience that decides if it allows you to use the interface to use the weapon, it traps everything in a single moment in Time. It was originally made just to trap something like a planet in a moment of Time but over the eons it grew to have two side effect that all knew about, one a conscience as I said that controlled the interface and one of burning whatever was placed in it. Nothing able to go forward or back just stuck like that forever. The space as empty as the stars that use to shine around it, it dragged the whole war both the physical and the Temporal War into that moment and locked it there for all of eternity even at the end of the universe they will remain trapped and will do so until this universe ends." The Doctor answered eventually in a very quiet and subdued voice. Harry seeing this, decided that enough had happened for today he wanted to get to talk to the Master and the Doctor alone.

"I think that's enough for tonight, there are thing I want to talk about in private with the Master and the Doctor, but the Doctor keeps asking me to tone down my telepathy because it sounds like shouting. I'll still be here in the morning even the Doctor and the Master will be it's just there are things we need to decide together if I am going to live with them both, I'll be here for at least a month, I need to give notice with work! We can sort out the trips at a later time, probably once I'm changed, SATURN will have them all organised by then and I'll be able to print them all out in one go for you but… It will take a whole day of printing to do! So, I'll be using Torchwood's printers there isn't enough paper in this house to do it and I'm not buying more, if I'm leaving I'm going to have to give my job up as it is. Sirius, please show Martha and Jack to the spare bedrooms, they can get some sleep in one of them each. Also don't try putting a listening spell on my room or I will crack the Linguistic Science command back on you and you know what that does and I really don't mind making you deaf for a week!" Harry decided and told them all, but looking at Jack Martha and Sirius throughout.

Nobody said anything to this Martha had already seen witchcraft and heard about the wizarding world Harry came from, so Magic wasn't new to her just a bit scary. With that Harry nodded at the Doctor then pointed with his head towards the door. Getting off the Masters lap was hard, but he held onto the Masters hand all the way to his bedroom once all three were in his room Harry through his hand out and a blue shield popped up around the room sealing it shut so no one would be able to hear anything said in the room, before Sirius could actually do what he thought he was going to try and do anyway.

"How old are you both really?" Harry asked both the Doctor and the Master as soon as the shield was up and he was sat on his bed at the top of it.

"Why?" The Doctor asked seeing the timeline but wanting to know Harrys reasons so he knew they would listen to him.

"Because I saw in your memories you tell them on the spaceship Titanic you were only nine hundred and three years old but that is a total lie so how old are you both?" Harry explained and then asked before he pointed to the desk chair and the end of his bed for them to sit down themselves.

"Harry, the Last Great Time War lasted thirty thousand years in both physical and temporal Time, I left Gallifrey because of that Time War, I didn't want to get involved in it I am called the Doctor because I want to help people. I was once told I call myself a good man and I said I am a Doctor and the reply I got were that to me they are the same thing and maybe they are. I was still called upon by the High council to help, I refused to fight but would help keep the timeline intact as much as I could. If we don't regenerate, we can live forever but as I said I'm on my last two regenerations I lost a lot of them fighting in that war I was changed to end it as I was nearly dead. I honestly don't know the answer to that question. The Time war took everything from me even my family. I left with my granddaughter to escape that War and I had to abandon her on Earth the only planet that was hardened against temporal interference during the Time War, something the High Council had me do because of how much I had visited Earth, it was much easier to manipulate the timeline of Earth because of how much I had visited it and gone throughout it both into the past and the future and as you know the humans are the last remaining species in the universe so Earth had to be protected during the Time War or it could have destroyed the universe being attacked all on its own." The Doctor explained to Harry sat on the desk chair where Harry had pointed to, his elbows were on his knees, and he was leaning forward to talk.

"And you Master?" Harry asked next, the Master had taken the end of the bed to be nearer to Harry.

"I don't know either Harry, as you saw I have swapped bodies, tried to prong my life, I've been executed and a host of other things done over the Millenia, when I was finally truly dead. I was then pulled from the matrix to fight in the Last Great Time War as well and was given twelve new regulations to fight for them. I eventually went to the end of the universe to hide because I could take no more of the war the daleks were winning and no matter how many battles I fought I could see no way for the Time Lords and Ladies to win and so I hid myself away. The Time War actually only ended around the year nineteen ninety seven in the Earth calendar, but I was a human at the end of the universe since I was a baby found with only my chameleon arch watch, I have nine regenerations left but as to my actual age I just do not know either." The Master also explained.

"So, in other words as long as you aren't forced to regenerate you will live forever?" Harry asked them both he knew they could live millennia untold but none of the ones he knew had managed it without dying in some way the oldest one he knew of was the one who taught him the mental arts and he was only just over one thousand years old.

"In a sense yes but the life of a Time Lord is not easy Harry, it is a privilege to see Time and the lives you help as you travel, but as I said it is a big responsibility! However, as you know yourself if you die as you are, you will be dead. As a Magical Time Lord tot, you will get a safety net, that is why we want you to do it. You are the last tot in the whole of reality certainly in this universe and we want to take care of you, you have had such a horrible life and we just want to give you a real childhood and for you to get to spend time with us and us with you, the Master is the only parent you sadly have left alive Harry as I said and you never have remembered a parents love we want you to have that we want you to feel for the first time in your life that you are loved and cherished by one of your parents and by me I know Sirius loves you but the Master is your dad you deserve all the love the two of us will lavish you with. However, we stick to those ages I'm just under one thousand years old and the Master is just slightly older than me, please." The Doctor explained so Harry would understand more of their reasoning and agree to it. Harry just nodded to this.

"But you can also age yourself if you want, can't you? You don't have to halt your age?" Harry asked having seen both of their memories.

"Yes, it why you will never get a true answer off a Time Lord to their age plus spending time in the Time Vortex doesn't actually age you that is what both my TARDIS and SATURN uses to move us around in it is how we can go from one planet to another but end up at a completely different time to the one we have just left. This type of life can weigh heavily on you, as I said it is a privilege to see Time! But it is also a big responsibility! You will age as you need to now for another one hundred and sixty two years and then you will become an adult it is then you can decide if you want to stay as you are or age yourself but even aging yourself constantly you would easily reach one thousand years old before you died of old age or had to regenerate depending on how old you turn out to be at that regeneration, you will understand it a lot more as you learn to see Time and go through the courses you would have done if you were on Gallifrey learning as a Time tot!" The Doctor explained gently.

"Well as you pointed out I have a lot of time still to age and learn but I will keep your ages to myself as you have both asked, you said I needed to trust you but it goes both ways you need to also know you can trust me if we are to travel together, so I promise not to say anything to the others, I will just agree with whatever you want me to tell people about you." Harry told them both.

"Thank-you!" The Doctor and Master both said together as they both gave Harry a gentle smile which made Harry smile back at them.

They spent the rest of the night just talking about themselves, well what each was prepared to talk about. Harry explained his plan, that the Master would go with the Doctor and find a crack in Time, they would just find it then find a free schism and come straight back for him within the month so he could give his notice for work. He did not want to let them down and his contract was for four weeks notice but he had holidays he could take so he would only have to work at a maximum three weeks then they could all leave in the Doctors TARDIS so he could get the needed DNA out of a crack in Time and once that had settled and he had got used to seeing Time and all of its permutations like he had seen in both their heads he would go and look into a schism allowing him to become a Magical Time Lord tot with the regenerations he would get so he could both see Time and have the safety net they wanted. they talked about his Magic and what he knew from his work with the Real Unspeakables and about the different types of Magic Harry used and what the Real Unspeakables had used to close the breaches in their universe off.

Once that was done, the Doctor and the Master spent some time inside Harry's head helping him with his telepathy which helped him enormously, they were shocked though, they could now see just how large of a power core he had! He could cast all his Magic constantly for weeks at a time with his power and then when he was a Magical Time Lord completely, he would need a lot less sleep which would mean he would be able to cast even longer than he could at the moment, which was still a lot. Because of his DNA makeup he hardly needed any sleep, just a few hours a night at most, some nights he didn't sleep at all, hence him visiting the other places they had seen in his head. They also talked about Sirius and the fact that until Sirius passed, they all would have to come and see him regularly, although Harry decided that if his body shrank that they would spend their time away from Earth until he looked around the age he was now at least or slightly older. if it wasn't for Sirius Harry would have stayed away from Earth until he was an adult and didn't need to act as a tot at times but that would be too big of a jump for Sirius he would have to see him gradually as he grew, the Doctor and Master explained that if that was what he wanted to do Sirius would need to start to keep a diary of the last thing they talked about so that Harry would know where they were up to in their lives and he wouldn't give away things that had happened before they had reached that stage in the time they spent together.

Both the Master and the Doctor convinced Harry to sleep for a few hours promising they would still be there in the morning waiting for him to wake up, Harry wanted to meet the Doctors TARDIS properly not when she had been cannibalised. Something that made the Doctor realise it would take time to get it sorted out, even with two sane Time Lords now able to work on her, to which he shot the Master a glare the Master just cringed and put it down to the 'bloody drums' as he explained, the Master also promised to properly apologise to the TARDIS while they were working on her, hopefully helping restore her and the fact the paradox machine hadn't opened would allow her to forgive him, mind you that particular TARDIS didn't like him. Meeting Harry and knowing he was the Masters son might allow her to see he had changed and for the better especially as she would be able to see into his mind and know it was clear now and he was totally rational again.

The next morning found everybody up and sat around the kitchen table and the situation was again explained to the others about why Harry needed to come with them as soon as possible, so he could look into a crack in Time and then after he got use to seeing Time and looking at all of its permutations Harry would then need to go and look into an untempered schism. The Doctor told Martha it wasn't all they would be doing if she still wanted to continue to travel, but they had to sort this out fast the Doctor even explained it to the others so they would understand, it was now a matter of time the quicker they could get Harry to a crack in Time and get him to a schism the better both the Master and he would feel, they were already worried about Harrys age but once that was all done then Harry would need to stay with them to learn all he needed to as a Magical Time Lord tot and how important it was as he now would be a Magical Time Lord and need to know all they knew they again told Martha that they wouldn't be looking over Harrys shoulder while he learnt and he would get plenty of time to continue to explore the universe as that was the practical side to his education so it would be virtually back to normal if she did want to carry on with them all.

For the next month everyone went back to their jobs, Martha decided to finish her medical degree not that it really shocked the Doctor or the Master they could see Time and therefore knew what was coming even though they had offered Martha to continue to travel with them they knew she would say no, Martha gave the Doctor her phone and told him not to be a stranger and to answer it if she ever contacted him. They both knew they would see her again even if they didn't know exactly when, they could look at Time yes and see all the different permutations that went with it, but the further from their own timeline the harder it became to fully understand, they could look at the end of the universe and see just how long away that was in linier time but it didn't mean they could understand it otherwise the Doctor would have known who professor YANA was even when he met him he didn't know until the timeline changed to Martha mentioning the watch he had to the Master. The month passed quickly, Harry gave notice with work saying he was unfortunately having to give his notice as his circumstances had changed and took his one week holiday he was owed so he only had to work for three weeks. It had taken only three days to sort the TARDIS out then another four weeks and two days before the TARDIS rematerialized in Harry and Sirius' living room and out stepped the two Time Lords with a smile on their face's they turned to see Harry lounging on the sofa watching the BBC new twenty four as he often did. The Master opened his arms to Harry who moved instantly to hug him out of instinct, Harry was shocked at how much he had missed the Master while they were separated after just finding him.

"You need to tell Sirius we are ready! We have found a crack in Time already and checked on the schism we want you to look in to, the sooner we do this the happier I will be please." The Master explained with a gentle smile on his face while hugging Harry.

"Can you give me half an hour to an hour? I'll call Sirius and get him to come home." Harry asked looking between the Master and the Doctor even though he was being hugged by the Master and still hugging him back.

"Yes, you can take the rest of the day, we need to stock up on a lot of food ready for when you start seeing Time as it will take a while to get you through that, but I want us there by tonight please. We can bring you back as early as tomorrow for them but as you know it won't be for us, if you need to age if it does drop drastically, the Doctor suggested I show you both some of the places I went when the drums were quieter." The Master explained to Harry with a look of hope in his eyes, the Master wanted to show Harry and the Doctor wasn't always bad even with the drums in his head.

"That would be great, and it will show the Doctor about how the people on those planets treat you compared to others!" Harry exclaimed to the Master then Harry looked back over to the Doctor and smiled at him.

"So, I'll phone Sirius and get him to come home we'll all spend the day together then I'll come with you… Actually, we could go and see the team at Torchwood spend some time with them all, you never know maybe there are things you can help out with. We'll have to alter the Masters face though, it's still too recent to most people, he became Prime Minster for one day and announces his going to introduce us to alien life forms, it's a good job I shorted out all the electrical feeds in the main room with True Magic after stopping the paradox machine, everyone on the Valiant at the time had to have their memories altered to think the aliens never showed up and Harold Saxon was killed while there. They all think it was a hired professional hitman that killed Harold Saxon on the Valiant for taking over the market with the Ark Angel network then Jack had the satellites destroyed sending the business into bankruptcy once they knew the other companies could keep the mobile phones running, it was some nice work with how you did it but really hypnotising the entire world it's a good job I travel so much I would not have been happy to know one of my own parents had hypnotised me! Jack lied through his teeth about Harold Saxon saying he was conned by someone from America, who invented the Toclafane and played them off as aliens, he even used Torchwood Cardiff to make it look like they had investigated them for him and saw the technology was like nothing seen or invented on Earth before, then that person was taken through a black court over the death of the British Prime Minister along with the hitman or at least that is what the world thinks, we are going to have to be careful no one connects what you look like now to you being the Prime Minister, I will alter your hair and eyes to make you look slightly different to how you do look all your notes and anything you wrote down were destroyed and Jack had Sirius and me wipe the minds of anyone you told your plans to so no one knows about who you really are, we even had a day of mourning for your assassination, even UNIT thinks you are dead and they don't know you are a Time Lord, we will have to alter your hair and eyes colour as I said. I've already got the contact lenses you're going to have wear to turn your eyes blue and I can charm your hair to a dirty blond colour. It's a good job Torchwood one is no longer running but it still leaves the other four hubs however only, Sirius, Jack and I know what really happened but there is still three other Torchwood institutes out there running and working. I'm sorry Doctor but we had to wipe Martha's mind so that she left you after the fiasco with the family of blood, so she never met the Master at all. We will all have to be careful though as the information from Torchwood one was shared with the other hubs. Only Jack will not go after the two of you now…. Well probably not, the other hubs know not to try it, you Doctor just escape or make them look like fools and walk straight out of where they had you, after cleaning up a mess they made and then you get back into your TARDIS and go, none seem to be able to contain a Time lord for very long. It's actually you Doctor Torchwood really don't like, seems you pissed off queen Victoria on your travels!" Harry explained about Harold Saxon then altering the Masters face but when he mentioned Torchwood not liking the Doctor Harry had a smirk on his face as he looked at the Doctor. He had seen it of course in the Doctors mind, but once he got all the information of how and why Torchwood was founded it just made Harry want to laugh. The Master turned to the Doctor cocking an eyebrow.

"What did you do to piss off a Queen?" The Master asked the Doctor.

"Erm." The Doctor didn't know how to answer and Harry's smirk was growing into a full-on grin.

"He introduced Queen Victoria to a werewolf up close and personal then tried to get a rise out of her!" Harry explained further, here his grin got even bigger. He looked at the Masters face while telling him.

"She was not amused!" Harry announced while still grinning. The Master snorted, he thought only the Doctor would try to get her to say that and not think of the consequences.

"Come on then let's go and see the others." The Doctor told Harry trying to get out of the current conversation.

"Let me get the contact lenses for the Master then I will alter his hair colour, remember he was known to a lot of people through the ark angel network and all the work he did for the government! It seems you were very busy while on Earth I didn't know you had helped build the Valiant no wonder it is the cutting edge of technology and engineering that ship if you helped build her!" Harry explained then he went to do as he said he would and got the contacts and gave them to the Master to put in then using True Magic he altered the Masters hair colour as he said he was going to but the Master went for jet black rather than dirt blonde, Harry then suggested to let him extend the Masters hair so it could be pulled back into a pony tail that way no one would look twice there would be no way he could be Harold Saxon with long hair it would normally take too long to grow it to that length and look so natural so that is what Harry did then conjured up a hair tie so it could go into a pony tail.

"There that makes you look like a completely different person, so let's get going if we need to do a shop as well! I also need to put everything into my rucksacks, everything is ready to go I just haven't packed them yet not knowing when you were going to turn back up, I bought two big ones. So, we can go now and I will pack it all when we get back here." Harry said looking at the picture of Harold Saxon and now how the Master looked before destroying the picture so it couldn't be found, the Master had no resemblance to Harold Saxon so no one could connect the two especially as he had long hair now as well. Once they were all ready to go the Doctor took Harrys right hand while the Master took his left and they walked him out of the house. Harry didn't seem bothered by this it was actually what he wanted the Master and the Doctor with him in the middle, a true family, Sirius had tried he really had but when Harry was younger he was on the run and when they met again he was an adult in mind if not in body but compared to the Master and the Doctor he knew he was just a tot as they called them but unlike with Sirius it wasn't strange it just seemed right to him. To be able to go from his real age to acting the age he looked, it was a coping mechanism for tot's they needed to be able to act their physical age at times at others they acted the mental age they were. They spent the day at the hub Jack talking to the Doctor and the Master about what he had done to sort everything out and ensuring he hadn't missed anything while Harry spent his time with Sirius. Harry knew that when they saw each other again he would be completely different to how he was now.

All of Torchwood Cardiff came to help with the shopping, all had a trolly each, making nine trolleys to fill, it took three trips to get everything they would need for them while Harry was adjusting to seeing Time. Everyone accompanied them back to Sirius' house to the TARDIS. Harry had two rucksacks over his shoulders that he had now finished packing everything he needed, but he had left quite a few things in his bedroom here, he knew he could be away for a while but would be back tomorrow Sirius' time and so didn't take everything with him just the thing he couldn't do without as well as, as many clothes as he could pack into the two rucksacks it was why he bought big ones for his clothing. Those gathered watched from the outside of the TARDIS as it dematerialised and entered the Time vortex next stop the crack in Time. They were in the vortex for about thirty seconds and then the TARDIS came into being in space the door was already facing the crack.

Once there at the crack in Time, the Master and the Doctor explained to Harry what would be happening and assured him even if he did alter in size it would only be painful for milliseconds a full regeneration can take only about fifteen seconds after all and he wouldn't be going through that even though that was painful for the time it lasted especially as you were being altered completely on the molecular level which he wouldn't be. It took them only five minutes before they dragged his unconscious but totally Magical Time Lord DNA further back into the TARDIS slamming the door shut and as the Doctor sent the TARDIS into the Time Vortex while the Master looked after Harry, he had shrunk so he looked around eight years old now, although Harry actually looked healthy and had a slight tan now that he was a proper Magical Time Lord with the ability to see Time.

As soon as Harry came around, he was violently sick all over the floor where he was brought back into the TARDIS after looking into the crack in Time, as soon as he came around, he had seen the length of his timeline with all of the alternate timelines to go with it, it was far too overwhelming. It took twelve months of staying in the time vortex before Harry could cope with the slightest change in the timeline. It took another three years in the Time vortex before he could cope fully, having seen Time in the Doctors and the Masters head was far different from seeing it in your own head, luckily, he found out that occluding helped cope with seeing all the different timelines he constantly saw in his mind. Harry had started up the lessons that the Doctor had said he would need to take and learn if he was to become a Magical Time Lord like they were ordinary Time Lords just to try and take his mind of constantly feeling sick and seeing all the timelines in his head constantly, he had even started to cook the meals other than breakfast which the Doctor made after living off nothing but pancakes for the first twelve months and being sick within half an hour of eating them. Harry really needed to taste something else the Master could cook but he had tried to take Harrys mind off seeing Time in his head the first night he had done so and burnt the food so the Doctor wouldn't let him cook after that thinking he couldn't cook. Harry was grateful that they spent all of their time just on the TARDIS and remained in the Time Vortex it was the best place to see all the different timeline from without it affecting him even more, then again Harry really did not want to be out of it while he was learning to see Time if he felt this ill while in it.

It took four years before Harry could cope with all of his alterations of becoming a Magical Time Lord and seeing Time staying in the Time Vortex. Harry then went to visit the untempered schism that was on another planet and not controlled or rather caged by the Time Lords. He didn't know if he stared there looking into it for minutes, hours or days before he bolted for the TARDIS. He shot past the Master and Doctor. The Doctor sent the TARDIS back into the Time vortex. Luckly the planet allowed the Doctor to recharge the TARDIS from all the time spent in the Time Vortex with the length of time Harry was looking into the Schism not that Harry knew how long that was he had far too much on his mind. As soon as Harry got to his room, he threw a shield up that would prevent anyone getting into no matter what as well as cutting all the sound off.

Just under a month later Harry finally left the comfort of his rooms, he had the ability to see Time now and had his regenerations awoken as he was told he would have. They had worked out that now he was back to eight even though he was thirty eight years old mentally he would now need another hundred and ninety two years for him to become an adult again. With everything else going on he really wasn't happy in the least he had lost all his mental age becoming a proper Magical Time Lord tot. On top of that though, throughout the month Harry thought of the name that reverberated around his head as he looked into that schism. He was meant to choose a name for himself when he was an adult, only he hadn't chosen a name. He had been given one, it wasn't like the other two they chose their names after looking into the schism once they were an adult. But looking into that schism a name had reverberated back through it along with being able to regenerate and Harry wasn't happy about it at all. Harry found both older Time Lords in the control room.

"I'm the Arbitrator!" Harry explained looking at them both with a blank expression on his face for both of them to see. He knew it was now his name and he knew that he would be asked the Arbitrator of who or just the Arbitrator of what just like the Doctor got Doctor who and the Master got Master of what. He understood the meaning behind his name. He was also the Arbitrator for something else, and that was how he was treated by them, the only Arbitrator in the whole of Reality even if he was that before moving to this universe. The Time lords smiled warmly at him with love in their eyes, the Master opened his arms, and Harry ran into them the Doctor also hugged him with the Master, something that he needed right now Harry wondered if they had felt that need down the bond.

"We will take care of you now Arbitrator you don't have to worry about anything but just as you know I'm Theta and you dad is Koschei you are True Magical Time Lord now Arbitrator we will scrub your old name from Torchwood, you will have me as Theta and your dad who you still call Koschei and we will allow you to choose a name to call yourself with us, but in public we always use your Timelord name now, the Arbitrator." The Doctor gently explained to Harry. Harry was grateful that he could not tell them he already had a private name because of the power it held, Harry tried to think of a name to be called by, but his mind was coming up blank, he was just glad the Doctor suggested getting rid of his old name as he wanted it gone as well.

"I can't think of a name for myself, if you were both my real parents and had loomed me what would you both have called a child by you?" Harry asked them both, the Master looked over to the Doctor.

"He's you real son Koschei." The Doctor spoke gently to the Master.

"And we have both agreed to bring him up so we should choose a name between us." The Master replied to that. They stated at each other for over five minutes.

"How about Muklo?" The Master asked the Doctor then looked at Harry.

"Muklo, I like that, Theta Koschei and Muklo!" The Doctor said trying the name out nodding agreeing to it.

"I like it also and since the bond only ever radiates love off the two of you and as you know I have never had real parents before, that is what you both come across to me as through the bond, you both treat me as yours and I would like to carry on feeling that if I may. I don't want to call you by Theta and Koschei in private I want to be able to call you both my dad's, as I said the bond only ever radiates love off the both of you and a need to take care of me and it's as strong from each of you now. We would only need to tell people you hid me on Earth during the Time war when it was at its worst and then you gave me SATURN after you found me again. We can say you left me with mum and James but they died protecting me and so I went to live with Sirius as he had been made my oath sworn godfather that both families were Magical, but James and Lilly couldn't have children so were happy to protect me for you, so you knew I would be safe away from the Time War on the only protected planet in the universe. I can send out the section that wipes it off everyone that is able to contact me on SATURN I can backtrace the numbers and delete them remotely then get Torchwood to do as you said Theta and kill off my old identity but we would have to sit down and get our story straight for everyone, Sirius can stay as my godfather but we can make it so he takes a Magical vow to say that I was born in this universe and mum and James were my caretakes and he took me in when they died protecting me, as you had asked of them while you went off to fight in the Time war when it really heated up near the end. hiding your son on Earth as I said, the vow would ensure he never slips up, but he would still remember me and only be able to talk to us three in private about the truth." Harry explained to them both hoping they would agree to it, well he knew the Master would it was really up to the Doctor.

"You've given this a lot of thought, haven't you?" The Master asked to Harry.

"Yes and if Theta is prepared to say he is my second dad I would really like that!" Harry explained to them both.

"That is fine Muklo as I told you before we do not leave our tots alone for any reason and I know how you feel about me the bond only ever radiates love from you for me, it has done so since not long after I turned the Psychic link to you into a permanent Bond and I know you must feel how much love I have for you now through that bond you really do feel like my son as well, so if that is what you want, we will work it out between us all so that is what we become, you parents together. We will have to sit down and get our story straight who knew who and Torchwood would need to be worked out other than Sirius if we want them all to think that we are both your parents and you came from this universe. But even doing that and us both becoming your parents, you know I don't want Koschei able to steal the TARDIS the trust isn't totally back between the two of us yet, I know the drums are gone but we both have a lot to talk about and work through still especially if we are to become your parents together, you've had SATURN for a long time now Muklo. Imagine if you lost her, like when you took the TARDIS without me knowing. However, it is things like that, important things to me, that are making me agree to let you choose how you see me, as I said the bond radiates love off you for me and even though you took the TARDIS, you brought her back within seconds of her being gone. If only because Koschei is locked out of her, so he taught you to pilot and move the TARDIS for him instead!" The Doctor explained to Harry, the first was said seriously off the Doctor the last sentence was said in humour though. Harry winced at the part about losing SATURN. He decided to explain to the Doctor what went on again hoping to get the Doctor to move more towards the one person he had loved all his life and he would get his two dads like he always wanted and was promised he would get.

"He did manage to help save that whole planet after I took her, and I brought her back seconds after we left as you said. Then I let you see all my memories of what we did! He really did help Theta, he saved an entire civilisation, yet they will never know what he did to keep them alive! That's how much Koschei had changed now the drums are silenced and he can think for himself for the first time in so long. I know you let him teach me to pilot her though and you gave us both a key to the TARDIS, it's the little things that are building up that trust between us all and it's radiating down the bond both ways including how you both feel about me." Harry explained. Harry had taught them both occlumency while getting used to seeing Time, it didn't allow him to remove the block from the Masters mind. But both older Time Lords had mastered it and found like with him it made seeing the timelines easier. The Master really was different now especially as he had a son that he loved, that was all the bonds had felt to Harry since he was first recognised by the Master as his son. Harry wouldn't remove the block until they could remove the beat imbedded into the Masters mind. Harry couldn't lose what he had now, not to madness, he loved both men too much. With how they looked after him, showed him they loved him and constantly cared for him he hoped he got to the stage of calling them both his dads', but he knew he wasn't there yet though.

"I know Muklo, you know I was very proud of you both for what you did especially Koschei, if I didn't, he would still be tethered not free. I just don't want him stealing the TARDIS as I said." The Doctor explained gently.

"Now how about we see more of what Koschei did Muklo? When you said the drums were quieter within him. You want to age a bit more and we need to talk, both Koschei and I, then the three of us together if we are to become your parents for real, but we have time for that, let's take you to a few planets that you've both mentioned but never named. I haven't seen any of those ones I have only heard about them and you only saw it through Koschei's, memories and Koschei and I haven't got to that stage yet that was the plan we would see what Koschei did when the drums were quieter in his mind you can stop your lessons for a bit and see some of the universe so that you age." The Doctor asked then explained his reason for doing it to Harry.

"Okay so where are we going then first?" Harry asked as he looked up into the Masters face. The Master smiled, then he ruffled Harry's hair and began to explain the first planet he had ever saved.

The Master explained about the monsters that had, had a whole planet under their thrall and how he had used his own psychic abilities to bind the minds of all the citizens together into a telepathic link to keep the monsters at bay, he had then turned their home into a paradise for them, he made sure they had everything from state of the art health care to education and even a full tourist attraction for them to earn money for the planet so that every citizen was provided for and provided for well. The only thing he had requested was to be able to return whenever he wanted to relax. Something they were more than happy to do for him after everything he had done for them. He explained to the Doctor and Harry that if the link was cut for any reason the thrall would fall all over them and they would be nothing more than puppets to the monsters. The Master advised them to walk around on their own or where he couldn't hear and ask them what they thought of the agreement, if the Doctor or Harry could find a better way to help them, he was prepared to assist them, the only reason for the binding was to prevent the monsters return, there was no way to kill the monsters though. None that he could find, even if they could he thought the whole planet would not agree to it though, so it had to be the planets citizens decision, or they weren't going he told them both the last in no uncertain terms it had to be the planets decision.

The Master didn't tell them, but this was a planet that was one of his greatest joys it really was a relaxing planet and he wanted it to stay that way he wanted to be able to take his son and the Doctor and show them what he had accomplished even with the drums. Both Harry and the Doctor agreed immediately so the Master gave over the time frame and coordinates to them both for the TARDIS to re-materialise even giving them the planets name Floxum. Harry piloted the TARDIS to the time and co-ordinates the Master had given and they arrived in a special separate parking spot. As soon as they stepped out, they were met by an honour guard of six. Suddenly twelve more appeared when they saw three people instead of the usual one.

"Master, you have returned and with guests!" one of the…. People? Exclaimed! The race looked avian in appearance in fact they looked like big bird from the children's show without the big belly and not a costume neither were they as tall as big bird. They had feathers all over them, a beak for a mouth, slits above the beak for the nose and a crown of feathers on their head, all the ones present, were all respondent in dress and colour, the dress was the same, it looked like these were special forces guards, beautifully dressed ones, but the colours of their feathers were extraordinary, not one Floxumian looked alike.

"Yes. Thank you for the warm welcome as always, the tot between us is the Arbitrator and the man holding his other hand is the Doctor, we were hoping we could stay for a while and the Doctor and the Arbitrator have a lot of questions for you. But! We mainly want a break and for them to see what I have done here!" The Master explained however he held up his hand when he saw the looks given to the Doctor.

"Both have agreed only to terminate the entire telepathic link to you all if it can be done safely and without any harm to anyone on this planet it must also only be done if the monsters that enslaved you can be killed off first!" The Master explained then the Master looked to his right at the Doctor and Harry.

"Isn't that right you two?" Asked the Master. Both nodded and answered in the affirmative.

"We were hoping to spend time here to both talk between ourselves and relax for a while, our son wants to see what I achieved before he was born, now we've finally found him. I wanted to show him how you all live and what the planet is like." The Master told them. After it was agreed that was no problem as long as the population on the planet were given the final say over the link, they were all welcome to stay as long as they liked. With that sorted, they were escorted to where the Master had his own set of suites which was more like the whole floor of a large building but it fit withing the planet perfectly, it was a lovely area.

While the Master caught up with the latest news and things going on, on the planet he let the Doctor go off with his guard of six. They were there to protect him and ensure he was undisturbed in anything he wanted to do, which seemed mostly to try and find the gutter trash, of which there was none, or find out if the Master really was being benevolent and not just enslaving them in a different way. The Master refused to move from Harry's side for the first week there. After they left the suit and went out into the main area of the section of the planet they were on, the Master would turn his view from Harry and whoever he wanted to speak to and then Harry would cast a silencing spell around the person he wanted to speak to and himself, keeping the Master out, well he did for the first week, by the end of that Harry was smiling in happiness and contentment knowing the Master had done good here an entire planet full of people lived in freedom because of the Master. This was what he was trying to get the Doctor to now see. Harry spent the night after the first week in his bedroom thinking over everything he had been told and what both the Master and Doctor had said to him also what he had found in the room he had been given. He decided it was time to start calling the Master by the name of who he really was, his dad, it still scared him a bit that his biological one had been driven mad by the High Council of their own planet. The more Harry learnt about their home world the more he was glad they were no longer around, the drums in his dad's head had disturbed Harry greatly it was why he had blocked them, but the more he thought about it the more he realised, it was what they both wanted a son and parent relationship, hopefully both older Time Lords would become his dads' together properly instead of just telling people they were his and he would get to call them that, like they had agreed, but first he would start with his biological one, the bond only ever had the feeling of love off his dad even though the Doctors bond also radiated that, it had taken him time to feel like that towards Harry. Harry decided he would start with his biological one first and work up to the Doctor and calling him dad as well or some other name to call him by, after all he had plenty of time to do that in.

The next morning was a shocker for the Master. Barging into his room and flinging himself on the bed, the Master was still awake just resting in fact the Master caught Harry as he was flying at him and dropped him on the bed next to him, he was greeted with a massive smile and the bond rated love for the Master like never before.

"Come on dad up, I want to see some of the entertainment around here that you helped create I want to go on all the rides and adventures offered, I want to see what the tourists that come here do for fun and how the planet makes the money so none of them live in squalor it is a beautiful planet and that is all down to you so now you have to show me what they do to keep it like this dad!" Harry Demanded, calling the Master Dad for the first time and it was said without anything but love in his voice and came through the bond intensely, it caused the Master to choke up for a second, the Master never believing that he would get called that even though Harry had asked it of both the Doctor and the Master, up until then Harry had mostly called him the Master or Koschei. Harry was also acting more like the age he looked which the Master was glad to see. Not one to deny him anything the Master told him to order room service for them both while he showered and dressed for the day. Harry had found out the Master had ordered a wardrobe for him as well when he got to his room that first night, all in different sizes for when he grew, obviously his 'dad' wanted them to come here often. These thoughts had all gone through his mind the night before though. In less than an hour they were on their way to one of the many buildings to start on the games, they had decided on the way, they would do a day of games followed by a day of adventure although the Master warned some of the adventures took longer than a day to do so Harry told his dad that they would make up for that by spending the same amount of time playing games afterwards before going back to a day of each. Harry informed his dad he was giving the Doctor today on his own then he was joining them whether he liked it or not. They were here to relax and allow them to see the good his dad had done not start another Spanish inquisition! Harry understood where the Doctor was coming from his dad had done this with the drums in his head, he wasn't in his right mind and even though he thought he was helping he might not have been, but Harry had seen this place and what it had taken his dad to change it into what it was now. Seeing it both in his mind and what he had witnessed the week before. Harry would carry on calling the Master dad and working on him having a real relationship with the Doctor, so that he would get the two dads' he was promised something he had always wanted, and he now knew who those two dads' were to be when he was told it would happen.

True to his word Harry gave the Doctor that one day that he spent alone with his dad and then he dragged him with them on the first adventure offered here. Telling him that they needed to spend time together, they need to start being a family as well as working out how to do it, so that their story would be airtight when they went back to Earth. The first adventure in this area of the planet was a wildlife reserve that had a mass of endangered animals within it allowing them to grow while controlling any cross breeding it was beautiful to see and took them the whole week staying within the reserve, Harry came away with a lot of new information from that. It was shocking he hadn't seen half of the creatures in there, yet some were so old and some from the distant future that were going extinct, it was explained that this was the only place they would be allowed to move around in, they would never be exported to help with re-population, this was done to stop them going extinct not help in the future or past.

Over a two-year span, they experienced everything from buildings holding unlimited amusements some bio-formed to fit with the surroundings others futuristic building that only the most advanced races could build in this time, something that this planet was even though they never let on. They lived in harmony with the planet instead of trying to dominate it like other civilisations did, even Earth. The adventures on Floxum were just as special and captivating as the assortment of games they held. By the time they were ready to leave after they had seen everything available on the planet spending time as a family and sat and talked at night to ensure their story was getting there for when they returned to Earth. All three were not ashamed to admit they could have stayed longer. Their relationships were moving forward and closer together, but Harry decided there were other places to go and other things the Doctor needed to see that his dad had done. Harry was now adamant that he had one real dad, he treated him just like he thought a dad would be. Hopefully soon the Doctor might as well, even if they had most of their story sorted out and gone though who knew the Doctor after he was changed for the Time war to end it. So, they knew whose memories they would have to alter but there was time for that. As said, there were more planets and places to see before returning home.

From there they moved on to the next planet, it looked like the Master was showing them in the order of which he thought as the most precious to him, they had spent two years at the holiday planet Floxum going all over it seeing everything that world had to offer. The others were roughly done over a year each, again going all over the planet they were visiting and finding out what the Master had done for each one, then spending time talking about each other and their relationship and getting there story together at night.

They had just finished up the latest planet, they had seen three planets now and it had taken four years to get through them. They had decided on a night of sleep in the Time Vortex before they moved on. Though they didn't know it at the time, this next planet was going to cause a lot of problems for them all especially personally, they all went to sleep happy that night not knowing what tomorrow would bring as it hadn't shown up in the timeline yet.
