She was just Miss Jones to me...

[sortofaman]

And now I've met Miss Jones
And we'll keep on meeting till we die
Miss Jones and I
- Rodgers and Hart, 'Have You Met Miss Jones?'The Doctor was, in a word, appalled. Sickened, perhaps, and disgusted and completely and utterly furious. And ready to punch a recently-humanised Time Lord in the face, or puke, or both

The moment Martha saw him, she knew. It wasn't the first time she'd seen him in a fury, but it was the first time she'd been the cause of it, and it gave her pause in a way she'd not anticipated. It wasn't in Martha Jones' nature to run from a fight, but in that split second when she first witnessed him through the trees, God how she wanted to.

Having prepared herself for this eventuality was no help whatsoever with the reality of it, or of the way her emotions were already a conflicted mess. She wasn't supposed to care anymore, wasn't that right? He was awful to her, he hurt her -- Why did she suddenly feel so damned guilty?

Which was right about the time he saw her. Something in his face changed, went brittle, but he kept moving, trajectory altering to put her directly in his path, because god help him, he was going to give her a goddamn piece of his bleeding mind.

"I don't know," he said, voice a terrible quiet, "what all I've done to you that merits you doing this to me. But I hope you're fucking satisfied."

Now that... That was a bit much, and in spite of it being quite clear how infuriated the Doctor was with her, a thread of rebellion lit within Martha, lifting her chin and squaring her shoulders as she stared up at him.

"I haven't done anything to you," she answered in a steady enough voice, although it was obvious that she wasn't denying anything.

"Considering," the Doctor said, "that you were going to be a doctor, I would think you're well aware that it definitely takes two people to fuck. So yeah, you haven't done anything at all, just sort of fell into it, did you."

He stuffed his hands into his pockets, head cocked.
