Tempus Neminem Manet (Times Waits For No One)
(Author's Note: I do not own Doctor Who or any of it's spinoffs, that all belongs to the BBC. The following story is set where Doctor Who, and all spinoffs, currently lie. Post Children of Earth, Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith and Waters of Maters, to be exact. This story also assumes that Adelaide didn't go and kill herself in WoM for the rest of the story's sake. That said, Enjoy.)
Prequel: Post Tenebras Lux (Out of the darkness, Light)
"Did you feel that?" The female voice in the darkness that was more than darkness asked another being.
"Feel what?" A second voice, Welsh and male, responded.
"That... ripple, a ripple in time," There was a pause as the first speaker mulled over the situation. "It was faint, it didn't happen in this dimension... it was back on Earth, I think, in the near time and place you came from. Something has changed. Something big has changed. Something that wasn't supposed to have changed."
"Like..." The Welshman started before he was cut off by the other.
"Like a fixed point in time and space. Someone has altered it or tried too. It would have had to have been incredibly important and big for us to feel it all the way over here, all the way in Limbo."
"But who can change something like that? Something that is "fixed"?"
"Well, no one. No human, rather. They can't see time, they can't feel it. Even if they change their minds at the last minute, time already knew what decision they were going to make. Everything from the beginning to the end is predetermined."
There was silence. Silence and that strange sort of darkness that was dark and light all at once.
"Then who was it? What was it?"
"I don't know but I do know that I think that was our calling card. Time to go home and see if all our hard work has paid off."
"But we haven't finished our game," There was playful sadness in the male voice.
The sound of a hand of cards hitting a table was heard. "Not much of a game anymore, hmm? Royal Flush."
"Ah, you cheat! You always cheat."
"Nah, I'm just good with strategy games. Now come on, we've got work to do."
"Yes, ma'am."
With that, there was only silence again. The dark that wasn't dark and the silence.
