The Tardis materialised in Delaware and it's occupants filed out into Corsetbone Headquarters.
Brenda had reverted to her wolf state after returning the excess vortex energy to the TARDIS, but she was in a lot of Pain the cellular degradation from once again being the Bad Wolf had destroyed most of her organs and she could feel her death imminent. She lay on the floor of the Tardis exhausted and panting till at last she closed her eyes.

Outside the Tardis the group were telling Rick, Candace, Pete, Jonathon, Eliza and Jessica of their Adventures - noone noticed that Brenda hadnt joined them. Suddenly the Tardis door was filled with a Bright white Light and everyone swiveled round to see what was happening. A figure staggered to Tardis door and fell to the Ground it was Brenda, Grace rushed over and soon had her up on a trolley giving her a medical exam.
"She's fine, just exhausted" said Grace "nothing a decent night's sleep wouldn't fix"
"What's wrong?" said a voice from the Tardis doorway. Everyone looked round to see another Brenda standing there.
"It's you" said Brad
"Of course it's me" said Brenda "Who else would it be"
"No, it's another you" said Brad pointing to the trolley
"Ah I've had a Meta Crisis then"
"Whats a Meta Crisis?"
"Sometimes during regeneration a Timelord can transfer their regenerative power into another container. Rather than regenerate completely"
"OK, and how does that end up with two versions of you?"
"My DNA Split, part was Brenda's Human DNA and it has healed her. The rest was a mixture of the Bad Wolf, and the Doctor the rest of the regenerative Energy stabilised me back into a form that looks like Brenda but with the knowledge and power of the Time Vortex that only a timelord has. If you listen to her chest you'll hear only one heart whilst I have two."
Using her stethoscope Grace checked both Brendas and found it was true.
"Anyway, My work here is complete - the timeline is fixed and Jim, Sharon, Rick, Candace, Brad and 'Brenda' can all resume their normal lives. The future will unfold the way it should." said Brenda
"What about me?" asked Brad "I'm not walking away from my team"
"Don't Worry" replied Brenda "As long as you remain in this timeline, thinks will work out for the best. But I need to go now"
"I'll miss you, babe" said Brad and gave Brenda a hug before returning to join and put his arm around Dale.
"Goodbye Everyone"
"Wait!" shouted Jessica
"What is it?" asked Brenda
"Can I come with you?" asked Jessica
"Jessica, No!" exclaimed Jonathon and Eliza together.
"Sorry mum, Jonathon" said Jessica "There's a big universe out there and I want to see all of it, I'm not a little girl any more."
"But Jessica..." said Eliza
"Don't worry Prof, Ms M" said Jay "I'll take care of her"
"Who says I need taking care of?" Said Jessica and both she and Jay broke into giggles and embraced.
"O.k. you can both come" said Brenda
After much hugging and shaking of hands Jay and Jessica entered the Tardis. Brenda said her final goodbyes and the TARDIS dematerialised.

Once the TARDIS left the human Brenda reawakened.
"What happened?" She asked.
"What's the last thing you remember?" asked Brad
"We were in Hill House, in the basement, Jim and I found a giant metal sphere and I was going to touch it"
"Yes, it knocked you unconcious. We were so worried about you. How are you feeling?"
"I'm O.K. I'm a little dizzy but otherwise O.K., how long was I out?"
"It's been a year, and we've got a lot to catch up on"
