The Doctor's head dropped down, causing him to wake up, he blinked rapidly before looking around. His faced dropped when he realised where he was,
"Why not just kill me?" He asked, his eyebrows furrowed together, a woman came out from the shadows but said nothing,
"Who are you anyway? You're not a dalek, so who are you?" He asked her.
"You know, for someone so smart, you're a bit stupid" She said with a Scottish accent and looked at him,
"Who are you?" He asked her again,
"By the way, I quite like the new body" She winked at him,
"Except the eyebrows, they're a bit...in your face aren't they?" She laughed.
"You still haven't told me who you are" He narrowed his eyes at her,
"Fine, I'm Missy" She grinned.

"And? Is that name supposed to have any relevance to me?" He asked, trying to untie himself,
"Short for Mistress" She said, he raised an eyebrow and looked at her, still not knowing what she was on about,
"I couldn't keep calling myself the Master, now could I?" She grinned once more. The Doctor's eyes widened and he tried ever harder to untie himself,
"Why tie me up heh? Why not just kill me? And why send dalek's to get me? And what happened to Cla-where is she? If you hurt Clara I swear whe-"
"Shush now" She held a finger up to his mouth, cutting him off.
"Where is Clara?" He asked her,
"I don't think she's dead, but I don't know where she is" Missy said, walking behind him.

"Now, I admit, getting the dalek's to help me isn't like me, I think I prefer cybermen more, but I needed to get you away from your TARDIS so you couldn't run away from me" Missy said,
"The TARDIS? Where is it?" The Doctor asked, raising his voice a little,
"Beats me" She shrugged,
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, it's not where you parked it, I've had dalek's on patrol looking for it and...nada, not a thing" She shook her head before heading to the door.
"Also, I like the outfit, you look like...a magician" She grinned before leaving the Doctor.

Once the door closed he continued to untie himself, finally undoing the knot he threw the rope to the ground and stood up, reaching inside his pocket for his sonic sunglasses. He pulled out nothing but lint, he checked all of his other pockets, but nothing. He decided to search the room, looking inside every box and case he found,
"Damn it, I must have dropped them when they caught me" He said to himself.
"Honestly, how stupid must I be to lose sunglasses?" He said out loud, frowning when all he heard was his echo. He looked out the window to see nothing but space,
"That's where Gallifrey should be" Missy said from the door,
"Why'd you bring me here?" He asked,
"To show you what you did, our home is no longer where it should be" She told him.
"Missy, I tried to save it, I really did, but so far I've found nothing. It should be in another universe, but it's not, and you don't think I know that? So I ask you again, why'd you bring me here?!" He yelled at her, which was unlike the past regenerations of himself, but very much like this one.

"Because I honestly hoped it'd still be there if I ever came back" Missy said truthfully,
"So why capture me?" He asked,
"I was getting pretty lonely and wanted another being on board who wasn't a dalek"
"So why not let me go?" He raised an eyebrow,
"I want my friend back" She said,
"You could've just asked, instead of capturing me and possibly killing my friend" He told her,
"Would you have come if I did ask?"
"Maybe not right away, but eventually" He answered truthfully.
"Come on" Missy walked over to the door, the Doctor raised an eyebrow at her,
"We're going for a walk, and don't think you can try anything, because, then I'd have to kill you" She told him.

Missy took the Doctor on a tour of the ship, the Doctor discreetly looking for his sonic sunglasses, they reached the corridor where the dalek's trapped him, he looked around for his sonic, frowning when he found nothing,
"They were my best pair" He said sadly.
"What were?" She asked him,
"My sunglasses, I must've dropped them earlier, they were my best pair" He told her,
"Sunglasses? I must admit I am liking this regeneration of yours, it's very unlike your others" Missy said, nodding her head as she spoke,
"If all my previous regenerations could see me now, they'd all say that I'm rebelling" The Doctor told her.
