Ellie:

The Doctor went to show off Clara to Vastra and somehow vanished into thin air and took my girlfriend with him. What was more, we landed in Yorkshire, not London, yet somehow they still found out and called me from the TARDIS because the Doctor was visible within the eyes of a dead man.

Once we met up at some lodgings they rented, I was told that Jenny had gone to where they had a lead, the Sweetville Estate by Mrs Gillyflower. "Glad you could be here to assist, Ms Ellody. We feared you may have been with him."

"I was recharging. He elected to take someone I need back and get into trouble. Your call disconnected my recharge, but I am more than strong enough to assist." I replied, sat on a chair as they paced around the room. "So Jenny has gone for a sermon at the Sweetville Chapel, yes?"

Vastra nodded, clearly somewhat worried about her wife. "If our stratagem succeeds, Jenny will infiltrate deep into the black heart of this curious place."

"And how will she locate the Doctor?"

"To find my brother, one needs only ignore all keep out signs, go through every locked door and towards any form of danger that presents itself."

"Business as usual, then."

"Business as usual."

I got to my feet. "I do not like remaining here while the Doctor and my person are in danger. Madame Vastra, there should be something else we can do in the meantime."

The homo-reptilian woman simply shrugged. "You cannot go in yourself, if they are undercover you could blow their operation. Jenny is slightly more subtle." I was designed to blend in, that was why I was created and hidden in plain sight. "Perhaps while we wait, you could tell me why you now call the Doctor your brother, and who this person is?"

My crimson eyes fixed on her jade, the two of us equally matched in combat but I held the upper hand otherwise. "You would like that, would you not? The Doctor is my brother by blood, even if I have no true memories of him myself before the Dalek Asylum, only his sisters. The person is someone you will meet soon enough, once we have rescued them from Sweetville, so perhaps you should just be patient, Madame Vastra."

"So there is a woman involved?"

"There is a person." I replied firmly. "This is nothing to do with the task at hand. The Doctor, my person and Jenny are inside those walls. How can we just sit here and wait for news?"

Vastra was enjoying this. "Do not worry, Ms Ellody. Your beloved will be just fine, as will your brother be. Perhaps you should do some reading, distract yourself."

"Frell off, cold blooded drelk." The doorbell rang and I turned on my heels, stomping off in my large boots to open it and see a pompous man there, with ridiculous facial features. "What?"

He did not even turn. "I have travelled from London expressly to see Madame Vastra. If you'd be so kind as to announce me, my dear lady."

They gave me a card I did not look at. "Do it yourself, I am no maid nor a dear lady."

Now he did look at me, seeing my furious red eyes, not that I felt much more than mild annoyance if that, and how I refused to wear 'women's' clothing. I had on a loose white shirt, trousers and sturdy boots. Something clearly too much for him and he fainted dead away. "Oh, dren. Strax! Strax, I require your brutish strength!"

"Yes, Remnant!" He ran out, almost falling over the prone man. "What did you do to him, may I ask? Is he dead?"

"No. I spoke. Men are not used to many women have speaking roles, and unfortunately that takes a while to change. Carry him to the drawing room, please."
