'Nova! Hey, Supernova!'
Nova smiled at Miras' nickname for her, and stood up from the complex piece of engineering she was working on
'Miras!'
Miras, her best friend in the world, picked up the circuit and turned it over in his hand
'Still trying to fix that time ring you found?'
She snatched it back, grinning
'you doubt my abilities?'
'No of course not. You just happened to get us bottom marks on the last three projects we did'
'I was thinking about other stuff, and face it, no one needs a temporal oscillator. What I made was way cooler'
'not convinced'
Miras walked to the edge of the cliff, to close, tears in his eyes mirroring her own
'Mi!' she called, frantically, but he just grinned, the way he would when Nova had finally talked him into doing something reckless
No, no you cant, I didn't mean that 'I'm sorry, I never meant it come back' but her voice choked on the words. She couldn't make him stop, only watch as he jumped over the cliff, falling miles, in to fire and fear and Daleks. She teleported onto the Dalek emporers' ship, crashing it, but for all the good it did she might as well have killed a single Dalek soldier, then the world burned white around her no regeneration
'my dear Jakkinovareteldvina,' said a familiar, and not well trusted, voice 'how nice to see you awake'
