Chapter 1: A Visit
Clara Oswald was always a special girl. Her very existence was thanks to a leaf that saved her father's life.
Some would say that this was mere coincidence. Others would say, a miracle. Perhaps this sequence of events was fated to happen? Or perhaps even made to happen by an unknown force?
The will of the very Universe itself.
Clara POV
*Beep* *Beep* *Beep*
I quickly turned off my alarm clock and got up. Today was a Wednesday and this meant that I would go traveling with the Doctor.
After a quick shower and dressing up I decided to wait in my living room for the sound of the TARDIS.
What I heard instead was a knock on the door.
"I'm coming!" I shouted as I went to open the door.
There was nobody there.
How odd I thought.
Suddenly my vision went white.
Line Break
I was floating.
I was floating in an endless sea of white.
And then I heard a voice.
"Clara Oswald"
I tried turning to find the source of the voice but I realized that it was inside my mind.
"Hello?" I said.
"You need not talk. You need only think to communicate with me Clara Oswald."
"Well Alright then" I thought in my head, "Who are you?"
"I am the Universe."
"Um what?" I thought.
"Well you know that infinite space in which Earth and every single planet resides in? That's me."
"I didn't know the universe had a sense of humor."
"Well I do"
"What do you want with me?"
" I need a vessel. One to enforce the rules of Space and Time."
"And you want me? I'm just a human."
" Oh you're much more than that. I made that leaf that fell on your father's face. I made sure your mother took a detour and ended up saving your father. I made sure that you would be born.
"You created me?"
"No. I made the circumstances of your birth happen and it was up to your parents to make you. A part of you though, is me. How do you think you survived jumping through the Doctor's time stream on Trenzalore? "
"A part of me is you?"
"Yes and that part is now awakening. You, Clara Oswald will have knowledge of the entirety of space and time in this universe. You will retain all your free will but there will be times where you must do the will of the Universe."
"Like what?"
"There are times wherein you must keep the flow of time normal and restore the web of time. Aside from that you will be immortal and omnipotent."
" So you're making me a god and all I have to do is sometimes fix things?"
"Yup. Aside from that you can do whatever you fancy. You now control all of space and time. You can even alter the web of time a bit if you so wish."
"Wow! Wait, am i going to retain my personality?"
"Of course. You're not going to change except for gaining omnipotence and all-powerfulness... Actually that changes you quite a bit doesn't it? Don't worry. You'll still be Clara."
"Thank you so much... Universe. You need to get a name so I can address you properly."
"I have no need of a name... Although I've always fancied the name Sam. Itms unisex too so you don't call me he or she. English needs more gender neutral pronouns."
"Well alright then Sam. It's been nice meeting you."
Suddenly Clara was back in her apartment.
A rush of info enters her mind.
She screams in pain as the entire universe enters her mind.
A human brain cannot handle such a thing so her brain changes. Now it is more capable of doing everything.
Clara opens her eyes slowly adjusting to the new speed of her brain.
She feels powerful.
The entire Universe is at her fingertips.
Then she hears the sound if the TARDIS.
'What will the Doctor say about the new me? Why don't I keep it a secret for a while.' Clara thinks.
The TARDIS materializes.
"Clara! Are you ready for a new adventure!" The bow tie wearing Timelord exclaims.
"Yes Doctor. I am."
As she steps onto he TARDIS she hears it exclaim in reverence to her new status.
The Doctor looks at the console weirdly and says " Old girl what are you doing? It's just Clara."
'Don't tell him. I'm going to see how long it takes for him to figure out something's different about me.'
The TARDIS makes a noise of affirmation and giggles a bit at how her thief could be so ignorant sometimes.
"Where are we going today Doctor?"
She already knew of course. She could see everything.
"Well I got some readings of Cybermen in Revolutionary France."
Clara smiled and said "Well what are we waiting for?"
"Geronimo!" The Doctor says as he pulls a lever.
As the TARDIS starts to dematerialize The doctor ponders about what he was feeling about Clara.
There was definitely something off about her.
He just couldn't put his finger on it.
