Vastra felt sick with worry as she shot awake. 'Jenny' she whispered to herself as she turned slightly to look for her, realizing she was on the floor she sat up fast 'Jenny' she spoke a little louder. Looking around she noticed Jenny's prone figure on the floor she tried to move towards her. Feeling someone closing in on her she turned quick 'Who are you and what have you done with Jenny.' Suddenly everything went black.
When Vastra awoke she realized that she wasn't alone she stood up quickly ready to attack until she realized it was Strax. She looked around for Jenny before noticing that she was on the floor, laying as still as she had been in their home. 'Jenny…Jenny!' she knelt beside her checking her over quickly to see if she was alive, 'Strax, please! She's dead' Strax scanned Jenny's body 'No heartbeat. Complete cardio-collapse, shock induced' Vastra felt her stomach drop 'Get her back for me. Get her back for me now or I will cut you into pieces' she hissed towards Strax grabbing his shoulders angrily 'unhand me, ridiculous reptile.' Strax steps away from Vastra as he sends an electric pulse towards Jenny's body not long after she starts coughing catching Vastra's attention. 'There we go. Just a standard electro-cardio restart. She'll be fine.' Vastra leant over Jenny eyes scanning quickly over her face 'Are you all right my love? Can you hear me?' Strax looked towards Jenny and Vastra on the floor 'The heart is a relatively simple thing' Vastra smiled slightly to herself while gathering Jenny to her chest quietly answering Strax 'I have not found it to be so' she could feel Jenny struggling to breathe while clinging to the top of her dress.
Sensing someone approaching she started to stand helping Jenny up with her looking round for the trouble she could sense she saw Simeon walking towards them 'I see you have repaired your pet. No matter, I was only attracting your attention. I presume I have it' Vastra hissed under her breath before the shock of who was standing in front of her started to register 'Doctor Simeon, this is not possible' 'and yet here we are, meeting again, so very far from home'. Jenny after finally managing to catch her breath turned to Vastra 'but he died, you told me' 'Simeon died, but the creature that possessed him lived on. I take it I am now talking to the Great Intelligence' Simeon smirked as he realised Vastra had finally figured out who he was 'Welcome to the final resting place of the cruel tyrant, of the slaughterer of the ten billion and the vessel of the final darkness. Welcome to the tomb of the Doctor. It was a minor skirmish, by the Doctor's blood soaked standards. Not exactly the Time War but enough to finish him. In the end, it was too much for the old man' Jenny frowned 'blood soaked?' Vastra could feel herself starting to get angry first this man had killed the woman she loved and now he was tainting the Doctor's character 'The Doctor has been many things, but never blood soaked' Simeon turned his so he was now looking at Vastra not Jenny 'tell that to the leader of the Sycorax, or Solomon the trader, or the Cybermen, or the Daleks. The Doctor lives his life in the darker hues, day upon day, and he will have other names before the end. The Storm, the Beast, the Valeyard'.
Vastra looked down at Jenny trying to calm herself before looking back at Simeon 'even if any of this were true, which I take the liberty of doubting, how did you come by this information?' Simeon's smile spread across his face again 'I am information' Jenny felt this conversation was making less and less sense as they went along 'you were a mind without a body last time we met' Vastra let out a quiet laugh which to anyone other than Jenny it would have just sounded like a sharp breath before finishing Jenny's sentence 'and you were supposed to stay that way' Simeon's smile spread wider making Jenny shudder under his stare 'Alas, I did' Simeon reached up to his neck before pulling at his face eventually revealing an empty shell as his clothes fell to the floor 'as you can see' his laugh reverberated around the three of them as the Whisper Men crept closer, Vastra automatically reached for Jenny's hand clinging to it. She'd already lost her once she wasn't going to let this man take her from her again. She made a promise to herself that when they got out of this alive, which they would do she was going to tell Jenny everything. She felt Jenny squeeze her hand back.
