Rassilon laughed to himself, a few Angels lingering by his sides. They watched him with caution, trying to figure out what was going on in his mind. Many of them had thought he'd gone crazy years ago but after the stunt he had just pulled they knew it to be true. He was power hungry. He always had been. But now things were worse.
He had toyed with an angel like Theta one too many times, most of them knew that. But of course they'd never say anything. No they much preferred their seat in heaven.
They didn't have to say anything though, because the high arch angel let out an other laugh, practically doubling over in laughter. "The fool!" He muttered, straightening up again and fixing his ruby red robes. "It doesn't matter what he does now. Whether he does as I asked or whether he comes after me!"
A few Angels exchanged looks between each other. They really hadn't a clue what he was ranting about this time. Theta yes. But as far as they could tell Rassilon was the only fool involved.
He seemed to have noticed the skeptical looks though as he continued to explain himself. "If he kills the girl to save himself he's doomed to a life of misery and betrayal and cowardice." He put emphasis on the last word, drawing it out a bit longer. "But if he comes after me he succumbs to his darkness. Either way it doesn't really matter."
He turned, his robes billowing around him. His words were still vague but at least now they had a better idea of what he was thinking.
He grinned to himself. "Either way, he'll become the demon he had been meant to become since the moment he crash landed on earth."The Doctor huffed, pacing back and forth through their room. Missy's eyes followed him from her position on the bed. "Love, will you please sit down. You're going to wear a hole in the floor if you keep pacing like that." She finally spoke up. He'd been pacing all morning and she wasn't exactly sure why. Sure she had a pretty good idea that it had to do with their brush with Rassilon's messenger the other day but he hasn't exactly said what it was this time.
"We have to stop him." He spoke, his hands folded together behind his back as he continued to pace.
"Ironic." She muttered rolling her eyes. Not long ago he'd never even bat an eye at the idea of killing a few demons. "What if we killed the others?" She suggested. Though she knew that wouldn't be enough for Rassilon. Besides she wasn't particularly fond of killing off her own kind. Especially when her relationship with them was already precarious as it was.
He shot her a look, stopping his pacing for a moment. "We can't do that. You know that."
She shrugged. "Then what do you suppose we do? Just go back to business as usual? You know he's not going to be coming down here any time soon. We won't have a chance to off the bastard and he will more than likely send plenty of more Angels after us. Probably looking like people from our pasts. Some of them might even be old friends from our days in Heaven. There's no easy answer to this love. We started this game knowing the risks and now we have to finish it."
He let out a long sigh. "I don't know, Missy. I know it's not that simple. I know. I just... I don't know what to do. But I won't let them hurt you."
"Will you stop bloody worrying about me!?" She hissed. "I'm a fuckin' demon. You're the one who is practically human!" Though at that last statement she was hit with a sudden realization and a sly smile curled across her lips.
He raised an eyebrow at her suspiciously. "What...?"
"You're human now..." She began, getting to her feet and placing herself in front of him. She reached up, pulling him down into a kiss. She was opening up that telepathic bond she had used before when she showed him who he was. Perhaps she didn't remember it all, but with enough practice perhaps she could bring enough of his memories back to bring him back to full angel.
He gasped, pulling away from her. "Missy..." He muttered. "Don't..." He held his head as if in pain.
"Doctor please. If we do this... You might get all of your abilities back. Just focus." She explained to him.
He looked down at her for a moment. "It's going to take time..."
"Aye. It will. But if you focus. We can get you back to full strength. I know we can." She kissed him again, this time letting it be just that.
He considered it for a moment. He knew what he was, he accepted it. But he supposed up until this point he hadn't really thought about actually being an angel. He had just considered it his past and now he was a hunter. "Aye. Let's hope it works."
