There was a tear. A gap. A big gaping hole in the fabric of reality. According to Torchwood and to Castiel that was very bad. The hole was big and it wasn't just going to close on it's own. It wasn't a tear in time. It was something worse. It was something dangerous and it needed to be closed

Pete agreed with him. The scientists agreed with him. All of bloody Torchwood agreed with him.

Rose, on the other hand? Did not.

They had time. They had time to figure out an alternative. All they needed was an explosion, a massive force of outwardly expanding energy to counterbalance the hole, sucking reality forcefully in. It started small. Small things. Then it moved to living things. Then people, whole cars, whole buildings, whole cities being sucked off the face of the planet. Next would be larger, and larger, and larger, from planet to galaxy to everything, until it sucked every bit of the universe dry and imploded.

It was worth the risk.

"You're not doing it." Her arms were crossed over her own chest, and she ignored the existence of the awkwardly shuffling scientist in the room with them.

They'll figure it out. They always figure it out. They just needed time, and the ability to develop a weapon, an explosion large enough.

Castiel let out a sigh when she protested. He knew it was coming and right now he couldn't listen to her. He couldn't agree with her. He couldn't reason with her because there was no reasoning with Rose Tyler over things like this. She was a hero, but she was also so incredibly human. Castiel was human in all the right ways, but he still thought like an angel. He was still willing to make that ultimate sacrifice to help the world.

"Not an option." He said and straightened up. He looked at the scientist who made eye contact. He seemed to back out of the room without a verbal command. He'd give them a few, but Castiel didn't need a few. He was going to do this. He needed to do this if she was going to be safe. That mattered a lot to him.

"I'm right, Rose. The energy coming off my body will shut that tear. It will seal it up and you will be safe." He crossed his arms over his chest. "That's the decision. I'm doing it."

She practically glared the scientist out of the room, and kept glaring at the door for a second after he left as if daring him to come back in. As soon as that moment passed, she rounded on him, wide-eyed and gesturing.

That's the decision? Well, first of all, it was a rubbish decision. Second of all, just saying 'that's the decision' didn't make it the decision. It didn't make anything, other than making him look like a total arse.

"I'll be safe when we figure out a plan. That's not the plan. I'm sorry, but no, you're not doing it. I'm not having it. No."

He had hardly ever been angry around Rose. There had never been any need to be angry around Rose. It had been easy to be with her. She was incredible and it was just making things simple for the two of them. What was about to happen was going to seem like a complete 360, but this was not out of character for the angel.

"No!" His voice was loud and he took a step towards her. "I'm doing this, Rose! It's the only way. Don't try and tell me you'll find a way because your people have come up with nothing. Their only plan is to nuke it and hope it shuts! That's not a plan! That's human arrogance!" He was human now right? So wasn't his own arrogance as well. What was this?

"I am going to fix this. You will not instruct me otherwise." If only she knew that the only reason he was willing to walk into that stupid hole was to keep her safe.
