"I imagine the goodbye speech from Clara would be very similar if Jenny was in the same situation. Just like in the doctors name, she would console her, tell her not to revert back into the way she was when the doctor found her, and damn Jenny would face it head on. " -imnothattypeofdoctor
Summary: How would Vastra react in a situation like "Face the Raven"?
Something that popped into my brain after reading that post
The Silurian flick her tongue out, casually tasting the air. She quite liked the taste. She picked up a knife and sat down in front of the bound human.
"I need you to be brave. Don't go back." Jenny held Vastra's hands tightly, her own trembling. Death was coming.
The lizard woman looked at the human who stared right back. "Well, if you're going to kill me. Get on with it already."
"You hear me? Don't kill innocents even in revenge. That was our number one rule. Remember?"
The Silurian cracked a grin and the human felt a inkling of fear. "Kill you? No, killing you would be pointless. You shall suffer, and than I'll let you go crawl back to where ever you can."
Jenny, wrenched her hands away and walked forward, staring death in the face.
"Torturing people isn't you're forte. You kill cleanly."
Vastra watched helplessly as Jenny screamed before collapsing on the floor.
The Silurian laughed as if the human told the funniest joke she's heard in a while. "Vastra followed all those silly rules. But now that her mate is dead through your hands, there is no Vastra. There is no Great Detective. She was weak. The veil is lifted and there is only a kadathsa. A hollow shell fit for only one purpose. Sal lath."
Later, the Silurian left the building and took a deep breath. Not being shackled by human rules made her smile bitterly. Perhaps they'll even find the ape in time before he dies of his injuries. It didn't matter. She hummed a tune idly thinking of the next on her list.
Vastra died that night with her wife.
So many to punish, so little time.
