The Doctor's Son
The End of Time
"After so much time, so many places, so much fighting and I was always, always a step behind, there to clean up his mess and now, NOW that I caught up with him, it's cause the bloody TIME run out. AND IT IS HIS FAULT!"
The last sentence was said loud enough to be heard over the sound of a bunch of sonic gadgets getting smashed on the TARDIS floor.
"Cadon, please, calm dow-" she was interrupted by a sonic screwdriver that missed her head only by that much and for a moment, it was as if Time had frozen. But Cadon soon snapped out of it, jumped off the main console platform and got near her.
"Solstice, I am sorry, I am so sorry! Are you okay?". He was frightened, one could see that. Solstice said nothing for a while. She wasn't in shock nor she was mad, more like she was in deep thought. But then she spoke:
"I am sorry, Cadon. I shouldn't bring you there. I can't even begin to understand how you must feel witnessing your own father destroying all of existence-"
"We have to stop him! He's killing everyone! If we go back and remove him from, I dunno, we could remove him from this timeline and maybe try and reason with the..." he was clearly making that up as he went.
"No, Cadon, we can't do that. If the Doctor doesn't stop them, oh, if he fails to stop them... the whole of creation... Here's what you will do: You're going back to the Academy, you graduate. You live and prosper and, maybe, one day you get the chance to rewrite history." She was extremely calm when she said that. Cadon couldn't have guessed what come next. Maybe neither did her.
She walked up the platform, to the main console.
"Don't be stupid, Solstice, one does not simply fly away from the end of time! You said so!" he shouted as he approached her.
"Oh, it's not going to be simple, Cadon. Now, stay back". She could sound authoritative when she wanted. She was the leader of the student council back at the Academy. The first Patrex to be so. It was said that her telepathic field was strong enough to influence Borusa.
She flipped some switches, checked the monitor for some sort of confirmation and then she removed the console cover, took a deep breath and looked straight into the heart of the ship.
