"I need you to know we're not so different! ...I need my friend back. Every battle, every war, every invasion. From now on, you decide the outcome."
Those words. They rang in his ears like a curse. 'I need my friend back' Friend. That's right. They were friends. In the end that's what they were. First and foremost friends. Theta and Koschei. Best friends.
He looked her over, running a hand over his face and gave her a sad, tired look. Maybe she was right. They were alike. They always had been. And what she was offering him... It was too good to pass up. He could do just as she said. End all the wars, stop them before they begin. A cyberman army at his finger tips. His fingers pulled away from the bracelet at his wrist, leaving it where it was. Yes. He would do good with this gift.
He leaned down to Missy, cupping her face in his hands and drawing her in for a kiss. "Thank you." He praised her, his lips curling into a smile.
She gave him a confused look. She honestly hadn't expected him to give in this easily. She figured he'd need a bit more convincing. She smiled though, watching him as she stood back up and began to toy with the device. "You're a genius, Missy. Thank you. Thank you!" He praised her, offering out a hand to help her to her feet. She took it hesitantly, her eyes now darting from him to the human girl and her cyber-boyfriend.
Clara was baffled. What was he doing? Surely he was just appeasing her, trying to find a way around it. To fix all that Missy had messed up. He wasn't actually accepting her gift was he? "Doctor..." she muttered, earnings her a deathly glare from Missy. She swallowed but ignored the look and continued. "Doctor you can't think this is a good idea...?"
"And why not?" He asked. Why shouldn't he have an army? It would save him a lot more time and energy. Anything that needed fixing could be done so easily.
Missy grinned from ear to ear. Yes. She'd done good this time. She'd won. "Don't you trust him?" She questioned Clara, raising an eyebrow. "Don't you trust he will make the right choices? Imagine all the lives he can save now. And all with merely a press of a button. And it's not like anyone was actually killed to make the army. They were already dead!" She let out a little laugh.
The Doctor looked at her with a grin. "Recycling." He said simply with a sort of shrug. It wasn't like the people inside the suits were themselves anymore. They were dead. Gone. No memories of the life they'd lived. "Imagine it, Clara!" He exclaimed, pressing a few buttons that made half of the Cybermen hover just off the ground. "No more wars! Universal peace!"
"That would make you a dictator!" Clara protested, fists clenched at Danny's chest. He wasn't obeying like the rest were but what was one cyberman amongst thousands? Millions?
Missy stepped up, raising a finger in the air. "Ah ah." She warned her. "King. King of the universe!" She corrected, turning her gaze back to the Doctor. "And I by his side as his Queen. As it should be."
He grinned, he liked the sound of that. "Aye. And as my first action.." He began, setting some coordinates for the Cybermen to begin their action in stopping the thousands of wars ragging amongst the galaxies. "Peace for all."
