Immortals - 6
She quickly pulled out her device from her pocket and took pictures of the locations. The Doctor was going to destroy the world and, even though she hated using Earthlings as accomplices, she couldn't take him on alone. Maybe she could convince them to help her, but the question was : would they believe her if she said the Doctor had gone rogue? That man had done so many good things for them that it would take more than words to convince them. She needed to make this Doctor a completely different entity, like Jekyll and Hyde. Hyde. That's it! That was how to convince them. The Doctor would no longer be the Doctor, he was to become Hyde, a rogue Time Lord that managed to break free from the Time Lock. It would take a bloody good story and a lot of lying, but, well, could you get a better liar? This was the woman who persuaded a splinter group of Zygons to rebel. Nasty species, animals, but complete pushovers. Missy took a closer look at the locations on the wall, then found they were not paper at all, but a live feed. Above the GPS system was a heart monitor, most beeping slowly, but two completely flatlined. "Amy and Rory Williams", she read out from the flatliners.
"Yes. Lovely couple they were. Shame about the Weeping Angel", a voice said from somewhere in the Black Archive. Missy put her device back in her pocket and turned around to see at least eight soldiers, armed to the teeth. Just behind them was a woman with blonde hair in casual attire with a handgun strapped to her waist. Missy recognised her from somewhere, and she tried to wrack her brains as to where she had seen her. "Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, but call me Kate. I don't need any favours".
"Wasn't going to give them to you dear", Missy responded, watching her with a curious eye. "Oh, of course. How could I forget? The daughter one. From the Boat, well, aeroplane. I chucked you from the airlock, sorry about that".
"No need for an apology, Miss...?"
"Missy", she said with a short curtsey, then noticed she didn't have her usual attire on, so couldn't flap her skirt around like she wanted to.
"Well then, Miss Missy. What you doing here? I was going to ask how you got in, but from the CCTV footage it seems that it isn't just the Doctor that has a psychic paper".
"I'm just browsing. You know. Looking for people".
"Why would you need the Doctor's previous assistants?"
"Right, well, that's where it gets interesting. In fact its highly interesting", she lilted, seeing the longing on the soldier's faces and their hands hovering over their rifles. "Please, point a gun at me if it helps you relax". Milliseconds later eight sniper's targets were lingering on her hearts and neck. They had obviously remembered their targets from their last encounter.
"Do you want to handcuff me too? You know, put your tiny little minds completely at rest", Missy asked, holding up a pair of metal handcuffs that she had found on one of the shelves. She didn't think they had the guts to do it, but the sight of her sitting on a swingy chair with her hands clasped behind her back told her otherwise.
"Talk, Time Lor- sorry, Lady", Kate said firmly standing in front of the entrapped Gallifreyan.
"See there's a Time Lord, a rogue Time Lord. Calls himself Hyde. He escaped from the Gallifreyan Time Lock and thinks that his home is no more. He thinks humanity is to blame, and there will be no mercy in his revenge". Missy was quite impressed - "What a great actress I am", she thought to herself.
"If you know him so well then why can't you tell him to go back to the Hellhole he came from".
"Mind your words, mortal. It may be a burnt, war-torn, time-locked, badly run Hellhole, but it's mine. And there's no point me talking to him, he won't listen. He will never listen, to no creature, no matter how close they are to him".
"What makes him so dangerous?"
"Ever heard of the Rassilion Sceptre. He wields its power. With it, he can replace the very foundations of your so-called civilisation and replace it with Gallifrey". Missy started to grow weary of this blonde personification of the question mark, but stayed on, just putting a fed-up look on face to make sure she got the message.
"Fine. Last question, then you're free to go. What's he going to do with the Cyberarmy?"
"Excuse me. He has no ownership over a cyberarmy", Missy stuttered over her words. Her Doctor cover-up/lying scheme had seemed to had gone to pot. Kate looked at her with an unpersuaded look, eyebrows disappearing into her fringe. "Yes, it's the Doctor. You caught me. How the heck did you know?"
"You're not the only one with telepathic powers Miss Koschei Saxon. The computer system in here is so advanced that it can hack the thought processes in your brain. Have to say, you think a lot about puppies, don't you?"
"I'm flipping surrounded by 'em love", she murmured to herself. "The Doctor has moved on from just saving some prisoners in a Dalek camp, he wants to remove the one big mistake he made in his life. And the only planet in the universe that has the same atmosphere as Gallifrey is Earth. This is the Doctor at his most desperate, he is willing to destroy a whole species to bring his home back. And one Cyberarmy won't crack it, he needs more power to do it". Kate thought about what she had said for a minute, then nodded her head and a soldier let Missy out of her restraints.
"Take what you want from here. But don't let the Doctor get here first".
"You trust me?"
"No I trust the computer system. It's got a lie detector built in".
