Battle lines
Author: Lilithangel
Fandom: Doctor Who
Characters: Jack, the Doctor
Rating: very light G
Spoilers: none
Challenge: Enemies
Summary: Two implacable minds, only one can win. The competition will continue until one falls.
Cold implacable gazes meet over the table. They have faced off in the past but never have the stakes been so high. There will be no surrender this time, each is determined to have full victory against the other.
Communication is short and to the point, there is no place for pleasantries in a battle zone. It was a close fought encounter with more casualties than either was happy with but soon it will be over.
Jack sees the merest twitch at his last words and knows he’s made a direct hit. He will not regret this victory, not with the prize so close.
The Doctor’s agile mind dives through all possible tactics in the blink of an eye, only to conclude that the next shot will be his last chance. If he fails Jack will have him.
As soon as the words leave his lips the smile of triumph on Jack’s tells him he’s failed. The next words out of Jack’s confirm his worst fears and he has to admit defeat.
“You sunk my battleship, you win.”
Jack’s whoop of joy can be heard through the corridors of the TARDIS.
“Best two out of three?” The Doctor said hopefully.
END
