Kate made an unusual noise as the tight handcuffs were wrapped around her wrists. One of the guards placed the other handcuff on the support pole and she saw the man with the suit on give a smug smile.

'I assume you're Agent Mason,' she said and the man was angered he didn't get to speak first. 'UNIT have been researching White Cobra for a while except we never found any concrete evidence of anything. I got a call from Director Fury of SHIELD who said that Steve Rogers' shield had been taken. Why?'

'The Mistress requires the shield,' laughed Mason but Kate didn't see the funny side.

'Who's the Mistress?' she said. 'Tell me the Master didn't survive.'

'Oh I read about the Master,' Agent Mason stood up and made his way to a defenceless Kate. 'I heard she killed your best friend.'

'Why did you want the shield and what's with this Cyberman invasion?'

'The shield was taken for the reasons only known by the Mistress. The Cybermen are White Cobra's little bonus to piss off UNIT. The Cybermen will convert millions into their own and then the Mistress will have her own little army. Do you like this?'

He held up a large cylindrical blue and grey device.

'It's an anti-Cyber machine. It detects near Cybermen and pulls them inside the machine, ripping any part of their body but with the right fiddling about I can change that to humans.'

'And how will they convert millions?'

'There's a green fluid we placed in their guns that convert humans into Cybermen,' giggled Agent Mason with a grin. 'And I do believe one of your friends was sadly hit by some.'

'UNIT are working for a cure,' Kate stayed strong without breaking down. 'We have Clara Oswald in a secure Cryokinetic Chamber which will protect her.'

Pouring himself a glass of expensive wine into a glass, Mason strolled back up to Kate and threw the liquid in her face. She closed her eyes as the alcohol hit her face. Licking her lips, she said it was refreshing and so Mason adopted a long face.

'Oh and you made one little mistake,' a smug Kate said.

'Oh really?' chortled Mason as she stared at her. 'And what's that?'

'Next time you put someone in handcuffs,' she leaned in. 'Check their pockets for alien handcuff lasers first.'

With that, she pressed a button on her watch and the windows in Mason's office shattered into tiny bits of glass. UNIT and SHIELD soldiers came blundering in, holding guns at the White Cobra soldiers and they surrendered.

Kate grabbed hold of the anti-Cyber device and walked out of the office and began trotting down the corridor.

'Load everyone here into the van,' she told a passing soldier and so he agreed. 'I want these cretins at UNIT so I can find out exactly what they're up to with the bloody Cybermen.'

Walking outside the base, she made her way through the car park and heard her phone ringing. Answering it, she realised it was Bucky who was on the other end.

'Oh hello,' she smiled to herself. 'How's everything going with the Clara situation?'

'Good actually,' an optimistic yet anxious Bucky said whilst sorting through some papers at UNIT HQ. 'The scientists said they're developing a cure from the serum now. Any idea what it does?'

'It converts humans into Cybermen and so it's vital that…'

Suddenly, an enormous bang made Kate scream and jump. Twisting around, she watched in shock and horror as the secret White Cobra base exploded into flames. A few vehicles besides the building caught fire from the eruption. Part of the logo fell next to her feet as she stared at the mess in disbelief. Gas clouds of darkness drifted up into the now-polluted air.
