The Doctor

"Kira, put the fun down," I say frantically. I can't believe such a sweet little angel has been trained to do this. "Why? Give me one good reason as to why I should put my gun down, Doctor," she says, saying my name with such venom that I nearly flinched. "Because you've been lied to your entire life. Nothing they've told you is true, and if you put the gun down, I'll prove it to you," I say, speaking quickly. I don't think she's ever killed, and I don't ever want her too.

She seemed to be contemplating what I said, until the broken Dalek she'd previously been repairing came to life and shot her. River lost it then, shooting the Dalek repeatedly and mercilessly. I stood in shock for a moment before grabbing River's hand and forcing her to lower the gun. The Dalek was beyond obliterated. "Take Kira and get back to the TARDIS," I order.

She almost argued, but our daughter was much more important to her than her own anger, so she stuffed the gun in her belt and did as I told her.
