Drabble 187/366 - Doctor Who

The Master marches up to the so-called Ghost Monument-

The doors are locked.

“Look,” he snaps at the TARDIS, “I’ve had a very long, very frustrating day, so you’ll open up or I’ll…” Stubbornly, she refuses. The humans following him are watching, concerned.

He lowers his voice. “The Doctor is dead. He isn’t coming for you. I’m all you have left.” Still nothing.

He exhales and rests his forehead against her doors

“Trying to change me killed us.” She’s too warm to be a ghost. “I am what I am. But he would take them home. Let me.”

She does.

(<- reluctantly impressed that the humans with him are also still alive)#so. who he is now. maybe he’s not clear on that yet. but he’s clear on what the doctor would have done. and maybe. for a moment. if he #pretends to be like the doctor. then the doctor isn’t really dead.#he has *absolutely* told the tardis fam that his name is the doctor btw. he just didn’t expect the ruse to last this long. but here he is.
