"Me?" Rose laughed. "Everything. And everyone." She bit her bottom lip, sighed, and rolled her eyes. "Okay, except one. You're gonna find out eventually. There's a woman here, called Lady Me. She outlived her real name, and doesn't care to be associated with it anymore. She's sort of how I found out what happened, with the Bad Wolf... and makin' you immortal. The Doctor, wouldn't have ever told me otherwise. Or confirmed it." A sigh and she briefly winced and held a finger over Jack's lips. "And don't lie to me or confirm my suspicions about him, all right? Because he told me you wanted to stay behind to fix things up." She chewed her bottom lip. "And I want to believe that of you both. That he wouldn't lie to me about that," since he figured out that Jack was immortal. "And that you were a hero."

She gave Jack another firm hug. "You are my hero. Just so you know. Don't ever think you're not."

NOT LETTING GO AGAIN. "And meeting Lady Me... really set that opinion in. She's so opposite you it drives me crazy!" Rose chewed up her bottom lip sullenly. "Um, but she's met you. I don't know when. Probably more'n once. She drives me mad though. Doctor and I fight about her a bunch. Because his future, far far future, maybe alternate universe future even, made her immortal on purpose. And... and..." she looked up, brown eyes meeting his green-blue. "Mine was by accident, yeah? I didn't... I never would have wanted to hurt you." She sighed, dropped the hug, but took his hand again. "He didn't give her a choice either. Can't ask the dead if they'd rather be immortal or stay dead."
