Inspired by a random talk with simbiani82, and a ficlet I'm working on.

You could look at it either as 9 being young Claude, or Claude being older 9.

Simbiani wants me to point out this is probably the first Heroes/DW xover vid.



Fandom: AU Heroes and Doctor Who (season 1)
Spoilers: Anything Claude or 9
Song & Artist: Here Without You, by Three Doors Down
Couple: Claude/Rose or 9/Rose
Summary:
Peter wants to know what made Claude so bitter, and Claude finally gives in and tells him, based off of a short fiction.

When Claude was younger, he fell in love with and married a young woman named Rose. Everything was going well until a recruiter approached him for a special sort of 'job'. They needed money, so despite Rose's reluctance, he took it.

While there, the people injected him with strange things, claiming it was just a required safety measure. When the two find out they are expecting, a recruiter approached Rose, as well.

Claude gets suspicious, and says he quits, but the people he works for aren't happy with people just 'backing out', and Claude meets with unexpected resistance.

The struggle results in the explosion of his home, the death of Rose and their unborn child, and his presumed death.

Guide-

Ninth Doctor = Younger Claude
Rose = Claude's wife
Jack = Recruiter
Peter = Himself
Claude = Himself
HRG/Bennet = Older version of the recruiter.

ALTERNATIVELY

Rose dies in Parting of the Ways, and the Ninth survives, but never truly gets over her. Years later he makes a new companion, who reminds him of Rose.

Claude = Older Ninth
Peter = New companion
HRG = Random bad guy XD

Notes: The song was so hard to pick! I had the story from the outset, and several scenes for the video, but I just couldnn't pick the song for at least an hour.
