This is a story that I came up with about the time 'Last of the Timelords' aired. And before the second series of Torchwood

I do not own Doctor Who or Torchwood

Enjoy!

"Speech"

'Thought'

Chapter 1 – Another Timelord/Lady

Master's POV

'I wonder if I should have sent handsome jack's little gang to the Himalayas? Nah better have them here where I can keep an eye on them'

I sat at my desk and waited. Then a knocking on the door and said "Come on in" grinning from to ear to ear.

A group of soldiers loyal to me came in dragging in four people who despite their struggling weren't going anywhere. The infamous Torchwood 3 team, Gwen Cooper, Toshiko Sato, Owen Harper and Ianto Jones but without their great captain to guide them. They put up quite a fight, taking out seven of his soldiers. But now they were tied and gagged, couldn't have them make a fuss.

Then a separate guard to those holding the captive alien hunters walked in carrying a large box. The guard set the box on my desk and said

"Torchwood 3 neutralised as ordered sir."

I get up and walk around my desk "Well done Sergeant, now what about any strange artifacts in their homes?"

"We searched their homes and found a couple of things sir." He goes into the box and pulled out a spray of Deltan pheromones "We found this in Owen Harper's bathroom" He put it back in the box and then pulled out a Draconian Personal Organiser "We got this from Toshiko Sato's living room" He put it back into box and then got out a Morgo Coffee dispenser that took both arms to hold "Ianto Jones's Kitchen" So that's how he makes the great coffee.

And then the Sergeant pulled out a bomb shell. Not literally but something very shocking. After putting the coffee machine back in the box, he took out a fob watch.

A fob watch with Gallifreyian Markings!

I immediately snatched it out of his hand and used my telepathy to connect to it.

Mental connection to the watch…

I found myself surrounded by golden light and a figure started to walk towards me.

Eventually the figure came into full view and I saw Gwen Cooper standing in front of me. But the look on her face, one of near arrogant distain and outright dislike.

"What do you want?" She asked a frown on her pretty face.

"Well I never thought I'd see you again" I said grinning

Then recognition crossed her face "Just get me out of here! NOW!"

"My pleasure my dear. My pleasure. But I'll expect a favour in return" I replied, almost giddy at my luck

"Fine! Just get me out of here" She snapped

Back in the real world…

I returned to my physical body and crossed the room and stood in front of the gagged Gwen Cooper and slid the gag off her face. She glared and said or rather growled in her soft Welsh tone which made it rather weird sounding

"Who are you?"

"I'm The Master. But the question Gwennnn" I said extending the last sound of her false name "Is who are you?"

"What do you mean?" She asked in guarded curiosity

"This watch is the key to your existence and now its time for you to wake up" I grinned and put the watch in front of her face and opened it

End POV

Golden light fled the watch into the eyes of Gwen Cooper and her face froze. Then once the light had completely entered her eyes she blinked and her face and eye expression changed to one that resembled a combination of boredom and nonchalance.

"Welcome Back Rani" The Master said and the Torchwood staff faces looked at the person who had been their friend and shuddered at cold look in her once kind brown eyes.
