Leontyne stepped out of the Master's TARDIS. She didn't know how long she would have to attempt finding her sister, but she would die for her if she needed to. Not even her new daughter could keep her from doing what she could to find Colette. She had barely figured out how to work the controls while the Master was asleep. She was about to head to the castle that was just barely in sight when she felt the Master grab her from behind.
"How many times do I need to tell you that it's useless?!" he hissed at her.
"Let go of me!"
"If you keep trying to find your sister, I will kill that child you insisted on bringing with you."
Leontyne was furious at this. "Don't you ever touch Addie! If you ever touch her, I'll slit your throat!"
"Such strong words for one who's already lost a losing battle."
The Master dragged Leontyne back into the TARDIS kicking and screaming.
Elsewhere-the Doctor's TARDIS
The Doctor sat on a chair in the counsel room idly swinging his scarf around while his grandson, Adam sat on the floor watching with fascination. Romana stood nearby with Ben, shaking her head at the Doctor's behavior. Didn't he ever grow up?
There was a bleep as a transmission came through on the screen that they had one spoken to Leontyne Geisslerin. The Doctor jumped as though scalded. "Huh?"
Romana rolled her eyes, "the monitor, Doctor."
The Doctor straightened. "Right, the monitor. What about it?"
"Urgh…it's beeping. There's a transmission coming through."
"Oh, oh, ok. Now who in the universe is calling?" He turned on the monitor to find the face of Leontyne Geisslerin staring back at him. The Doctor gasped, making Romana look too. "Look at that," he said to Romana. "She's still alive."
"Only out of spite," Leontyne said. "I would have killed myself after the Master allowed me to live if I hadn't had something to hold onto."
"And what is it that you have to hold onto? According to history, you and your older sister were killed after the discovery of a plot to assassinate certain members of the Gestapo."
Leontyne picked up her child. The child's pink hair caught the Doctor's attention even more than Leontyne's communication. "I have a legacy to keep safe," he said, bringing Addie close to her. "I might have her, but I'm not whole and I won't be until I know that my sister is safe."
The Doctor began to speak, but Leontyne related everything that the Master had told her and what she had done, asking him to save Colette for her. The Doctor had been a bit reluctant to accept her request, as messing with time was a tricky thing. He accepted when it occurred to him that Colette did not belong in Hungary of 1608.
As he turned off the monitor, Romana looked confused. "You're going to do it?"
"I do owe her for looking after Adam and saving him. If someone doesn't at least try to save her sister, who knows what will happen to her. If the Master threatened to kill his grandchild, he would kill his own daughter with no compunction."
"You were friends with him once, when did he become like he is now?"
"When he realized what power is."
