Third Chances (Drabble Project, Day 93)

[were_lemur]

Doctor Who, The Master, The Rani, all ages, not mine. After the events of "the End of Time," the Master wakes up ... alive.

Consciousness returns with a stinging slap on his cheek; an unfamiliar voice. "Wake up, cretin."

His mind is still ringing from the screams; he's disoriented, he's weak, and he's so hungry. But he keeps his voice steady. "Rani. How did you escape?"

"When you attacked Rassilon, some of the power fed back. I was able to use it to escape." Her tone is casual when she says, "I've formulated an injection that will stabilize your body."

"You've decided to help me out of gratitude." He doesn't bother hiding his sarcasm.

"Don't be ridiculous. You have to earn your daily injections."

Very much the Rani!

I've been meaning to head over to your account to see the other drabbles I remember you said you were doing (one a day, and I know that not everything can be Doctor/Master or things would get very boring very quickly). I have only succeeded in doing so today, despite my good(?) intentions, so if you don't mind I'm going to add you to my subscriptions so your drabbles show up on my reading page. If that freaks you out, let me know and I'll unsubcribe.

(I recently watched the Mark of the Rani and kind of adored it)
