Chapter 1
Kaver
Taven grinned as she bounced her six month baby girl up and down on her lap. Causing the baby to giggle and clap her hands together.
"You're up early," the Doctor said upon seeing Taven and Kaver in the TARDIS console room.
"She woke me up," Taven replied as the baby giggled and squirmed in her mother's arms, wanting to be let down now that the Doctor was in the room.
"Is the Master still asleep?" the Doctor asked as Taven put Kaver on the floor.
"Yeah he is," she grinned, "said and I quote: 'I won't get up until Kaver is old enough to get her own damn food."
"That sounds like him," the Doctor muttered as Kaver crawled across the floor and reached her hands out to the Doctor expecting to be picked up by the Time Lord she was starting to consider her slave.
"Oh alright," The Doctor sighed before bending down and picking her up causing her to giggle with happiness. "But you really should stop calling me your slave."
Taven laughed at the Doctor's statement. "She calls you her slave?" Taven asked.
"Unfortunately yes," the Doctor replied, "I suspect she gets that from her father."
"Well the apple doesn't fall far from the tree," Taven replied standing up and going over to the TARDIS controls to start piloting it.
"Where are you taking us?" The Doctor asked as he tried to keep Kaver's fist from contacting with his face.
"Earth," Taven replied, "21st century."
"Fantastic!" the Doctor grinned as Kaver giggled and managed to hit him in the face. "Ow! Taven your daughter hit me!"
"What do you want me to do about it?" Taven asked as the TARDIS took off. "She's just a baby and she thought you were playing with her."
The Doctor grumbled something but didn't reply. Kaver grinned innocently up at him and made little smacking noises with her mouth, causing spit bubbles to appear between her lips.
"Honestly!" the Doctor grumbled, "if you don't like that nighty you should take it up with your mommy, not command me to get you a new one!"
"Doctor what are you shouting about?" A voice sounded from behind the Time Lord, causing both the Doctor and Taven to look towards the person it belonged to.
"Your daughter commanding me!" the Doctor complained before passing the bemused Time Lord the baby.
"Really?" the Master looked down at the little girl in his arms who giggled up at him. "Good girl," he praised as he gave her one of his fingers to play with.
"We've landed!" Taven said suddenly, causing all attention to go to her.
"Where's the noise?" Both the Master and Doctor asked.
Taven rolled her eyes. "Honestly, both of you leave the breaks on, I don't that's why she actually goes where I want her to."
"I like the noise!" the Doctor exclaimed as the Master made his way over to Taven who was leaning against the console rolling her eyes.
"It's not healthy for the old girl," the Time Lady replied patting the TARDIS console.
"She's my TARDIS!" the Doctor replied as the Master made to Taven.
"You're going to give him an aneurism," the Master told her a smirk on his face.
"He'll live," Taven replied her own smile gracing her lips as the Master leaned over and kissed her.
Kaver squealed from her place in the Master's arms and raised her hands towards her mother expecting to go back to the woman.
"Oh alright," Taven took the baby in her arms and bounced her a little.
The Master huffed. "She likes you better," he grumbled.
"Only because she has mammary glands," the Doctor piped up already half way to the door.
"No because I gave birth," Taven replied rolling her eyes before fallowing the Doctor, grabbing the diaper bag on her way out the door.
The Master smirked and fallowed closely behind his bonded. He could hear Kaver gargling at the Doctor, no doubt commanding him to do something for her. Hearing that his daughter called his oldest enemy her slave, through Taven's and his connection, had made his day and it would take a lot to bring his mood down.
It had come as no surprised to the three Time Lords that they had found themselves in trouble. Adipose Industries had been creating a pill that would melt away the human's fat. The Master of course had told the Doctor nothing was going on and that he was just paranoid, but the Doctor didn't listen and instead went off to investigate what the Master and Taven weren't paying attention.
"Now where the bloody hell did he go?" the Master growled as he and Taven walked down a side walk, both using their enhanced Time Lord senses to sniff him out.
"Relax Master," Taven stated calmly. "He couldn't have gotten far."
"He's going to try and save them again isn't he?" he asked.
'"If there in actual danger," she replied as they reached Adipose Industries.
"Do you have psychic paper?" the Master asked Taven as the two began walking up the steps towards the glass doors of the building.
"No, do you?"
"No," the Master smirked, "I'll just have to hypnotize them."
Taven shrugged. "You would have had to anyways since we have a baby, and they would surly wonder why we were taking her with us to our job."
"So you're condoning this?"
"I'm not against it, since it reduces hassle."
The two reached the doors and a security guard let them in after connecting eyes with the Master for less than a split second. Kaver cooed happily as they entered the building and began squirming wanting to crawl around.
"That's right humans are extraordinarily easy to manipulate," the Master told her as Taven adjust her on her hip so that she couldn't squirm around as much.
"Let me see her," the Master took the baby away from Taven and held her close to his chest.
Kaver whined for a few seconds before stopping and listening to her father's two hearts beating. A yawn escaped the baby as the Master sent calming thoughts towards her.
"You're brilliant," Taven remarked as they got on the elevator and she pressed the up button.
"I know," he replied as little snores came from Kaver in his arms.
The Master lead Taven through the halls, fallowing the Doctor's scent, that he had picked up on as soon as the two stepped out of the elevator. His scent lead them to a bunch of cubicles where the Doctor was talking to some of the people and ducking down every once in a while to stay out of sight of the guards.
The two were about to go to him when a woman stopped them.
"Who are you," her eyes caught sight of the baby in the Master's arms, "And what are you doing here with a baby?"
Taven glanced at the Master who was smirking at the official looking blond haired woman.
"You're not human," he stated in a quiet voice.
The woman paled but remarkably didn't lose her composure. "Nor are you," she replied.
"We're just here to collect our friend," Taven cut in causing the woman to turn her cold gaze to the Time Lady.
"Who would that be?" She snapped her voice harsher then when she was talking to the Master.
"None of your damned business," Taven snapped back.
The woman allowed a smirk to grace her face. "Actually," she replied smoothly, "It is, since this is my business."
"Master, do something about her," Taven grumbled to her bonded.
"With pleasure," The Master replied. All it took was a split second for the Time Lord to meet eyes with the professional alien woman.
The woman went ridged as she tried to fight back. Taven knew that there were other species out there that had psychic abilities. But few could compare to the Master's ability with the mind.
The woman's body began to twitch little by little, as her defenses began to fall, allowing the Master complete access.
"Master!" the voice was sharp and caused the Master to lose his concentration.
Taven glanced over to her right and saw the Doctor walking towards them, annoyance written all over his face and body.
"What do you think you're doing?" he asked his eyes darting between: the Master, Taven, and the woman, who was still staring blankly.
"Gathering information," the Master lied smoothly.
"Then why where you in her mind?" the Doctor asked, gesturing to the dazed woman.
"That's how I was gathering information."
"Do you know how dangerous that is?"
"Does it matter?"
"Yes!"
"She not human," Taven cut in bringing the argument to a stop abruptly.
The Doctor's attention turned to the blond haired woman who was slowly getting herself back in check. Taven wasn't lying; the woman was defiantly not human.
"We better get out of here before she regains full consciousness," the Doctor said after a moment of staring at the woman.
Taven and the Master both nodded before fallowing the Doctor out of the building.
"So obviously there is something going!" the Doctor exclaimed as the three entered the TARDIS.
"Yes," the Master said, "but you don't know if it endangers your precious humans."
"Of course it does!"
Kaver let out a loud cry from the Master's arms, causing him to glare at the Doctor.
"She's awake now because of your yelling," he growled as Taven took Kaver from his arms to rock the baby back and forth.
"Shh," she whispered, "It's okay sweetie."
Kaver's face was going red as she continued to cry.
"She's hungry," the Doctor said helpfully.
Taven glanced at him before walking to her and the Master's room to feed Kaver.
"If it does endanger your humans," the Master said as he watched Taven leave the room, "Taven is not going with you."
The Doctor grinned. "She wouldn't like you running her life like that," he informed the Master.
The Master in turned shot him a dark look. "I mean it Doctor, Taven doesn't help you."
"I can do as I please!" the Time Lady snapped at the Master mentally.
The Master ignored her comment as he watched the Doctor's face soften slightly as he nodded.
"It would be too dangerous for her now that she is a mother," the Doctor agreed with the Master.
"I'm glad you've figured that out," the Master replied, as Taven's voice retreated into the back of his mind again. They were both right, if she where to die, Kaver would be without her and so would the Master, and that was just something she wouldn't allow.
"Well," the Doctor shrugged, "I am brilliant."
The Master snorted and rolled his eyes. "That was a lie."
When Taven returned to the console room the Doctor was already gone.
"Where has he gotten to?" she asked the Master as she let Kaver down to crawl on the floor.
"Saving his humans," the Master replied with snort, "as if it matters, they'll get in trouble again soon."
"You're so optimistic," Taven joked going over to him and sitting in the seat next to his.
Kaver crawled over to the two and sat down in front of them, content for that second to just stare up at her parents and chew on her teething ring.
"It's true," the Master replied wrapping an arm around her and pulling her closer, "if it's not this hoard of aliens then it'll be the next ones, or the next, the Doctor can't always be there to defend their sorry selves."
"But he'll sure try."
"He's a fool."
"He's are best friend, of course he's a fool."
"He's not my friend," the Master snapped sharply causing Kaver to stop chewing on her teething ring and look at him startled.
Taven simply let out a sight and replied, "alright Master, whatever you say."
The Master smirked. "I like you in this regeneration, so submissive."
Taven's face heated up and she had to clear her throat before replying, "No I just don't want to argue."
"Of course not."
"Smug isn't a good look for anyone."
"Bur me."
"You are way to full of yourself."
"It helps when my bonded is so compliant to me."
Taven was about to reply but thought better of it. But that still didn't stop her from thinking a few choice things that had the Master splitting his sides in loud laughter.
"What are you doing?" the Doctor asked shocked as Donna began throwing her luggage into his TARDIS.
"You're not leaving me behind," she replied, "I've been searching for you since after that Christmas! And now that I've found you I'm going to travel with you!"
"But," the Doctor groaned and glanced back at his TARDIS, his only hope was that the Master, Taven, and Kaver where somewhere else but the console room.
"But what?" Donna asked as she threw her last suit case into the TARDIS.
"I-I um have to talk this over with my other to companions," he replied rubbing the back of his neck.
"What for? This is you're space ship isn't it? What should it matter what they think?"
"Oh, believe me," the Doctor muttered, "it matters."
"Well let's get a move on then the sooner we sort this out the sooner we can go!" Donna hustled the Doctor into the blue police box.
"Who's this Doctor?" Taven asked as she looked up at the red haired woman from her spot beside the Master.
"This is Donna," the Doctor replied, "Donna Noble."
"Hello," the red haired woman smiled slightly as the Master, Taven, and Kaver all looked at her.
"Donna this is the Master, Gadget, and their daughter Kaver," the Doctor pointed to each of the family as he said their names.
"Hello," she said again, clearly nervous about the way the Master was staring at her, almost predatory like.
"Oh don't mind him," Taven grinned standing up and sticking her hand out to the woman. "It's nice to meet you Donna Noble."
"Likewise," she smiled, relieved that the woman seemed friendly enough.
"She's human Doctor," the Master sneered from his seat.
"And so what if I am?" Donna snapped her attention turning to the Master.
Taven just managed to hide a grin. The Master had been completely thrown by the woman, he wasn't used to people standing up against him.
"Master," the Doctor looked nervous, "Don't do anything rash."
The Master stood up and glared at the woman in front of him. To Donna's credit she didn't even so much as flinch at the look he was giving her, that would normally cause a grown man to wet his pants.
"Like what?" a smirk played on his face as he said the next line, "Kill her?"
"Master," Taven's voice was calm as she touched her bonded's shoulder, "you're starting to make Kaver nervous."
It wasn't a lie the baby had stopped teething and was now staring up at her father and the other adults with wide eyes. Looking like she would start bawling at any second.
The Master visibly calmed down, his whole posture relaxed, though the air around him remained tense.
"Let's let her come along," Taven smiled at the woman, "she's not harming anything and it'll be fun for me to have another woman around."
The Master snorted and rolled his eyes, but didn't disagree with his bonded.
"Excellent!" the Doctor exclaimed, "Welcome aboard Donna Noble!" He hugged the woman taking her off guard, before running over to the TARDIS console and beginning to input where they were going to go next.
