Title: The Master’s Return

Author: Beccs! ^_^, doctorsgal1792, and jack_is_love17

Rating: T, or at least for now. I want to try to not have like smut in this story…though something has been written. But in the meantime…swearing…

Warnings: Spoilers for Doctor Who Series Four finale and Torchwood Series Two finale.

Pairings: Ten/Rose, Ten.5/Rose, Jack/Other Character, Gwen/Rhys, Master/Lucy

Summary: It’s been four blissful though often rough years for Jack Harkness and Ellie Saxon. Four years since the year that never happened. They decided that they had been so excited about Elmira; they were going to try for another baby. (Yes reading Good and Broken would probably help a bit)

Now they have a son…both are soo happy with their life.

But then when Jacob is about six months old, he is kidnapped and they quickly learn that The Master is back in their lives. Ready to cause havoc with him. He’s been to another universe as well, bringing Ten.5 and one Rose Tyler with him. Now they have to call in the Doctor and everyone else, to help save the world once more. All of the Universes are at stake, and the life Jack and Ellie have built for themselves.

Authors Note: I honestly thought that after Good and Broken was done…I’d be done. These characters (well cept Jack) would never be back to plague me. Yet here I am.

It is definitely helpful to read The Masters Daughter, Letting Go a One Shot, and Good and Broken. Actually I think if you’re reading this and haven’t read those…you’re an idiot and need to stop before you get ahead of yourself.

So anyways…I hope you like this. I’ve toyed with ideas for months and months on this story. I finally came up with something. This is what was born.


Chapter Five

A Trip Between Realities

“He looks like Ellie,” a blonde woman said, looking at the little baby.

“He’s whiny and annoying like Ellie,” her husband sneered.

“Oh but he’s sweet!” the woman cooed.

She lifted the baby boy to her chest, but this didn’t seem to stop Jacob from crying.

“Do you want to stay here while I go to get Miss Tyler?” the Master asked.

Lucy looked up, “Yes…I don’t think it’s safe to take this poor little baby to another Universe,” she said.

The Master shrugged, “Very well then…see you later…and get him to shut up,” he said.

Lucy nodded and watched as her husband disappeared.

“But…he was cremated,” Ellie said softly.

The Doctor bent down to her level, “I know Ellie…I don’t know how any of this is possible,” he said.

Jack then joined them and took Ellie into his arms, “We have to get him back, before he does something horrible,” she cried.

“We will Ellie…he’s not going to get away with this,” Jack said.

Jack and the Doctor made eye contact.

They quickly cleaned up and Jack had to practically carry Ellie to the car. He set her in the back seat and got in the drivers seat. The Doctor sat in the back with Ellie, who placed her head in his lap and cried the entire trip home.

Once in the flat, Ellie looked around at all of the toys scattered about. The Doctor stood there awkwardly, silently blaming himself for all of this.

The two men watched as she went up the hall and into the Nursery. Jack slowly followed and watched as the woman he loved fell to pieces in the rocking chair. He set the carrier down and slowly left the room.

“How are we going to find him?” Jack asked.

The Doctor looked up from the cup of tea he was making, “I don’t know Jack. He was dead, Lucy shot him, and he died in my arms! I set his body on fire…Ellie and I both saw it…so how in the world am I supposed to know where to even start about finding him?!” he retorted.

“Doctor he has my son!” Jack practically shouted.

“You think I don’t know that? I love Jacob just as much as you do, so don’t make this all about you. Because right now I have to try to think…where the Master would go…where he would have Jacob…and I can’t do this with you making it all personal. Because don’t forget, I am Jacob’s God father!” the Doctor shouted back.

It was then that Ellie came into the kitchen, “Will you two both shut the fuck up?!” she screamed.

They looked at her.

“He’s my baby! The baby that I carried for nine months and was in labour with for twenty-four hours, he’s my son…my little boy! And that fucking crazy asshole has him…this is about me, don’t you see that?! I was a failure to him I guess…and now he has my son…to make us all pay!” When Ellie finished speaking, she was crying even harder now, both men were speechless.

Jack slowly went to Ellie and tried to take her in his arms but she pulled away, “Don’t touch me!”

Ellie then turned around and walked back up the hall and to the Nursery, slamming the door hard behind her.

Jack looked at the Doctor, “I’m sorry,” he said softly.

The Doctor shrugged, “You’re a worried father…I can relate.” He then pushed past Jack and walked into the living room. He sat down and took his coat off, which he tossed onto the chair in the corner.

He stood there for a moment, bouncing on the balls of his feet and sipping his tea. Something about all of this was just soo wrong on so many levels.

Rose Tyler was standing outside a shop. She had just been out to pick up some groceries and was now waiting for a taxi to come by.

One came by and she whistled for it. The vehicle stopped and Rose climbed in. She gave the directions to her home and it began to drive off.

“Been shopping then?” the driver asked, making small talk.

Rose looked up from the text message she was sending, “Yeah…”

The man had such a calm and soothing voice. But Rose ignored it and went back to her texting.

*Rose this is difficult. Why do you insist on it?*-Doctor

*Becuz I’m in a taxi and can’t talk*-Rose

*Are you coming home?*-Doctor

*You miss me? Lol*-Rose

*Terribly so*-Doctor

*I’ll be home soon…*-Rose

*Alright, can I send your crazy mother home?*-Doctor

*LOL…what is she doing now?*-Rose

*Trying to cut my hair*-Doctor

*Tell her I said that if she comes near you with scissors I’ll beat her with a stick*-Rose

*Will do, love you*-Doctor

*Love you too*-Rose

Rose then put her phone away and looked out the window. The taxi had stopped and they were no where near home, “Um…this isn’t where I sent you to…” she said slowly.

The man turned around, smiling at Rose, “Oh I know…but how else I was going to get you to come with me. I had to make you think I was a taxi driver…”

Rose went to unbuckle her seat, but the Master grabbed her arm. She looked up at him and brought the other around to punch him in the face.

She got out of the seat and out of the car, Rose took off running. But she had no idea where she was at. She looked around just a moment to see him in hot pursuit. She kept running and rounded a corner, but then as if in a movie. She found herself in a dead end.

He slowly came up to her, “Do you know who I am?”

“No…” Rose said slowly, trying to find something that she could beat him off with.

“I’m sure you’ve heard of me though…”

“Who are you then?”

“I’m the Master…and you are coming with me.”

He grabbed her arm and they were gone, Rose screamed out, but it was too late.

When the bright light disappeared, Rose found herself on a cold hard floor, she looked up. There in a rocking chair, in a lovely blue evening gown, was a woman with blonde hair. She had a baby in her arms; he was squirming, but quiet.

Rose quickly stood up, “Where am I?” she asked.

“The Universe you came from,” the Master answered.

She spun around and saw the man; he was now wearing a smart looking suit, “What do you mean I’m in my own Universe? I can’t be,” she said.

“Oh but you are…and you know the parents of that little baby there…I would say that you are good friends,” he continued.

Rose looked at the baby, “Jack and Ellie had a baby?” she asked, seeing the resemblance between the two.

“Ah smart as paint! You knew it!” the Master cried.

Rose reached for the baby and Lucy handed him over, “Why did you take him?” she asked, staring into the eyes of the now calm baby.

“Oh because their all wrapped up into this. I had to take the baby…it was the only way of getting their attention…well that and sneaking into Ellie’s subconscious and freaking her out by calling her name,” he grinned madly.

Rose looked at the man, “You really are insane,” she commented.

“Oh I pride myself on it,” the Master replied.

“So what do you want me for?” Rose asked next.

“Just as I plan on using this baby against his parents…you will be used against everyone. The people who love you…Jack Harkness…Mickey Smith, Sarah Jane Smith, and of course let us not forget…the Doctor,” he answered.

“I should have known…wouldn’t be the first time someone would use our relationship against him.”

Rose looked at the baby, he was sleeping now.

“He does so well with you,” Lucy said slowly, looking at Rose.

“Yeah well he probably knows that I’m friends with his daddy…and that I didn’t take him away from his mum,” Rose scoffed.

Lucy frowned, “Harry it isn’t fair,” she complained.

“Life isn’t fair…but the baby will get used to us soon,” he replied.

“I swear to God…if anything happens to this baby…I will help Jack kick your ass. Not to mention I’ve seen the way Ellie operates, and she will come after you too,” Rose said.

“Oh Ellie wouldn’t do anything rash,” the Master commented.

“You shouldn’t underestimate her…she’s changed a lot. Helped us take on Davros,” Rose smiled, “She’s very strong and not scared.”

“Oh then you must not know the same Ellie we know…” the Master stepped to the side and Rose saw a large screen, he pressed a button and an image of Ellie appeared.

She was in a Nursery, crying and shouting swears about the Master. But then it would turn to her muttering her fears for her child, and of the Master.

“But that’s natural! You have her child!” Rose looked down into her arms, “Well I currently have her child…but you have us both in captivity. Of course she’s terrified, some certified wack job has kidnapped her baby!” she said.

The Master was about to say something, he looked at Ellie’s image and then back to Rose, “Wait…Davros?”

Lucy nodded quickly, “Back when I was still working on building the machine to bring you back, the Daleks invaded again,” she said.

“Davros came back…Dalek Caan flew into the Time War and saved Davros. They came here and stole twenty seven planets out of time and space, but ultimately…we all defeated the Daleks. The Doctor, Jack Harkness, Donna Noble, Martha Jones,” the Master made a look of disgust at Martha’s name and Rose grinned before continuing, “Myself, my mum, Mickey Smith, Gwen Cooper, Ianto Jones, Sarah-Jane Smith, Luke Smith, and Ellie Saxon.”

The Master raised an eyebrow, “You know…that’s quite good. Shame I wasn’t there, would have been interesting to see old Davros again. But if a simple Dalek could get into the Time War…then there is hope for me yet,” he said.

Rose rolled her eyebrows, “It cost Dalek Caan his mind,” she said.

The Master looked at her, “Um…I lost my mind hundreds of years ago.”

She sighed, “Point quite taken.”

“Give me the baby back,” Lucy said.

Rose looked at her and slowly handed Jacob over.

“What is his name by the way?” she asked, looking at the baby still.

“Jacob…” Lucy answered.

“Right…”

“Well Miss Tyler, time to see your lodging. Come with me,” the Master said.

Rose looked back at him and slowly followed him. The Master led her to a cell in the basement and threw her in.

Rose watched as he smiled at her and left her in the cell. Heading back up, and that was the last light Rose Tyler saw in a long time…
