[Guess who's back?

That's right, the Doctor is on the Plane, in a slightly drugged haze. He's holding the cup of tea that the Twins gave him after he woke up on their lab table, but he's not really drinking much of it. He's too absorbed in trying to process everything that had just happened to him. Namely the fact that Omega had finally killed him off -- not that the Doctor really blamed him. He'd expected it, even though his Founder had saved his life twice before. He deserved it, for destroying everything Omega had worked to create instead of saving it.

Except Omega hasn't killed him, not really...he's still alive. Sans regeneration, apparently, which is a concept he doesn't how to deal with at all. So he sits on the ground, staring into his tea, and burying himself (no pun intended) into his thoughts. He only vaguely realises that he's still in the forest, near the silver Kadenwood tree where he died.]

[sighs, trying to figure out how to explain it] I was trying to help him...he was going a bit mad when his experiment ended -- had three minds in his head at once. Thought I could try to sort things out, but I only made it worse. That's when he snapped. [and his tone says he obviously deserved the result]

He mentioned that... There were really three? [that still makes no sense to him]

[eyes the Doctor at that tone] You shouldn't've had to die for trying to help.

[nods] There were. Peylix, Omega, and my Fifth self. [pauses] You spoke to him, then? He was all sorted out?

[he'll be avoiding that last bit there]

[frowns] Why was he there?

Ah...yeah. [and he yelled and raged at him, but the Doctor doesn't need to know that] He was fine; don't worry.

[confused] Why was who where?

[and a sigh of relief] Good, I'm glad. Just hope nobody got too angry. Wasn't his fault.

One of you! Why were you--I mean, your Fifth...you. Why was he in Omega's head?

[gives him a look at that] He shot you!

[shakes his head] Long story, but it's the same reason Omega's got his body. My Fifth's mind is still in there.

[hesitantly] Only 'cause he had to... [but Omega's past death threats are still fresh in his mind, and that doesn't come out as convincing as he meant it to]

Waitwaitwait, he's got... [trails off. Kaoru had mentioned Omega and one of the Doctors being twins, but Oliver had never imagined something like that. shakes his head] That sounds...complicated.

[frowns, not approving of the Doctor's view of the situation] He didn't have to shoot you. And definitely not to kill!

It is complicated...Omega's sanity is questionable on a normal day, much less than when he's got three minds to deal with.

I'm hoping he didn't mean to kill me? [it's a very small hope, though]

[frowns, not glad to hear the Doctor is so worried about Omega's feelings on the matter] No, he didn't mean to. He told me that.

He didn't? [the Doctor's expression is a mixture of highly relieved and extremely confused] What did he say, exactly?

Uh...something like, "I did not intend for him to die." [yes, that was an impression of Omega's voice] He said he just wanted you out of his head.

[he chuckles slightly at the impression, and nods] I ought to find him, then.

But he just...! I mean... Are you sure that's a good idea?

Didn't mean right away. Just...eventually.

Ah, yeah. Guess so. [scratches his head, feeling rather awkward about the whole thing, to be honest. he hopes his name never comes up in conversation with Omega] Well...it's good to have you back, Doctor. [smiles at his friend]
