CHAPTER 4
I do not own Doctor Who or Game of Thrones and I am making no profit off of this.
A GAME OF CLARAS PART 4
As the raven rushed straight towards Clara, a look of iron determination quickly came over her face and she began to glow with silver energy. Then an instant before the raven would have reached her, she teleported out of its path!
She immediately reappeared halfway across the room as the raven quickly twisted its head around to face her while she said, "Weren't expecting that were you? You're not facing a completely powerless Clara this time around, Bird Boy. This time you're facing a Clara with cosmic power and hundreds of years of fighting experience."
"AND A SISTER WITH ENOUGH FIREPOWER TO TAKE OUT A WHOLE ARMY," Oswin said as she hovered next to her in her Dalek casing.
"And another sister who's had enough time to prepare a bit of a surprise for you," Cydonia said as she suddenly appeared directly behind the raven and threw something underneath it with lightning speed.
Before the raven could even try to move away, the object underneath it instantly opened up and enveloped it in a cage of energy. The raven was undeterred by this however and immediately sought to quantum tunnel through the cage's bars just as it did everything else in its path.
This turned out to be a very bad idea on its part. The raven immediately screamed in pain as it hit the bars head first and was unceremoniously deposited right on the bottom of the cage with a resounding thud.
"That definitely took some of the snarkiness out of it, Cy! Exactly what is that thing and more importantly do you think it will actually hold it?" Clara asked as she warily watched the now trapped raven already beginning to get back on its feet once again and eye the bars as if looking for weaknesses.
Cydonia seemed to look more than a bit worried about that herself now as she said, "I hope so but I wouldn't care to bet your life on it. At least it's giving us a little more time to dream up a more permanent solution to get rid of it anyway. As for what it is, I'm not trying to sound condescending or anything, Clara, but you probably wouldn't understand what it was even if I tried to explain it to you because it's based on highly advanced Gallifreyan technology. I'm just going to call it a quantum cage for simplicity's sake.
Yeah, that doesn't sound condescending at all," Clara said with a teasing smile.
"I'm sorry, Clara. I honestly wasn't trying to be insulting. It's just that this is based on concepts humanity hasn't even discovered yet. It really is too complicated for you to understand," Cydonia said apologetically.
"So that's the Time Lady you, yeah? You're right. She's nothing like the Doctor at all. She's actually nice . . . and downright humble," Jenna said with a grin.
The Doctor gave her a dirty look right away as he said, "I'm not sure what you mean. I'm extremely humble and I'm always nice. Far more so than the stupid little people that I come across deserve most of the time."
"Uh, huh," Clara said as she and Jenna smiled at one another and giggled.
"WHAT I'D LIKE TO KNOW IS HOW YOU EVEN KNEW TO PREPARE FOR THE RAVEN IN THE FIRST PLACE, CYDONIA, SINCE WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT IT EXISTED UNTIL A MINUTE AGO?" Oswin asked in confusion.
The Doctor looked more than a bit ashamed now as he said, "That was another part of my plan along with telling Darkel where to bring the Time Lord cavalry. I knew that it might appeal to the Valeyard's sick sense of humor to try to kill Clara the exact same way that the other Clara died if he couldn't win any other way. That's why I warned Cydonia that he might try something like this before I came here. I wanted her ready to try to save you just in case."
Clara could see that the Doctor felt terrible that the reason that he knew what the Valeyard was likely to do next was because they were the same person (more or less) even if no one was about to come out and actually openly discuss this in front of him. She immediately smiled at him reassuringly to let him know that she wasn't angry at him and hugged him without saying a word.
"Enough! This courtroom will be brought back to order immediately so that the sentencing of the prisoners can commence as soon as possible," The deeper voiced Megara announced.
Darkel now looked at the justice machines in shock as she said, "Are you insane? We just proved to you that your prosecutor was completely corrupt and out to kill Clara for his own dark purposes. Justice had nothing whatsoever to do with any of his actions. This trial should be ended immediately and revealed for the complete and utter farce that it truly was."
"Preach it, sister," Missy said with an evil grin.
"Silence! We fully understand that the Valeyard was perhaps not the best choice to head the prosecution of this trial," The deeper voiced Megara said.
"You think?" The Doctor said with a snort.
"That does not mean that his arguments and conclusions were in error however despite his ultimate reasons for making them. Clara Oswald truly is potentially a great danger to all of reality if we let her live," The deeper voiced Megara said.
"What?!" Clara said in disbelief.
"You cannot be serious," Darkel said in a stunned voice.
"We're very serious, Inquisitor. The Megara not only punish those who are guilty but also actively look for ways to prevent any and all future crimes. We could never in good conscience allow such a potentially dangerous individual to go free given her other selves' past track record. If you or anyone else attempts to stop us, we will have to consider you to be obstructing justice and deliver an immediate death sentence," The lighter voiced Megara warned.
"OH, THERE'S GOING TO BE A DEATH SENTENCE ALRIGHT BUT NOT AGAINST ANY OF US," Oswin said as she aimed her cannon against the justice machines.
"Actually that's where you are in error, Dalek Empress, because we already planned on executing you along with the defendants in this case for lying to us in an attempt to keep the Doctor from facing justice. Now we will immediately carry out that sentence," The deeper voiced Megara said.
"BRING IT IF YOU THINK YOU CAN, ROBOT BOY," Oswin threatened as the cannon on her casing began to glow with power.
That was when the quantum cage instantly exploded into a million pieces, and the raven suddenly emerged from it with a triumphant cry. It immediately flew straight towards Clara once again as she looked on in absolute horror.
She quickly teleported out of its way and reappeared behind the Chancellery Guard who all began rapidly opening fire on it in unison as she said in a worried voice, "You really weren't kidding about not being sure if it would hold it or not, were you, Cy? So, uh, I don't suppose any of you had any time to think up a way to permanently stop it yet, did you?"
"ONLY ONE. LET'S ALL HIT IT AT ONCE WITH EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE GOT," Oswin said.
Then she briefly turned her eye stalk towards the Megara as she said in a threatening tone, "I'LL DEAL WITH YOU RIGHT AFTER I GET THROUGH TRASHING RAVEN BOY. YOU MIGHT WANT TO TAKE THIS MOMENT TO RUN IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU."
The Megara's response, if they even made one, was immediately lost amid a din of thunderous noise in the very next moment as the Chancellery Guard, Oswin, and Clara all began to fire on the raven at once. The entire courtroom was violently shaken and Jenna had to grab onto the Doctor's arm to keep from being knocked off her feet as the massive firepower directed against the raven at that moment instantly went right through it and into the floor!
"There's simply no way of stopping it. It's quantum tunneling straight through even our most powerful attacks," Darkel said in alarm.
Then she turned to give Clara a look filled with regret as she said, "I'm so sorry, Clara."
"Don't be because I'm not about to give up yet. I am not about to have my eulogy reading that I was killed by this reject out of an Edgar Allan Poe story. Courtney Woods would have a field day with that one," Clara protested as she teleported away yet again just before the raven would have reached her.
"Clara, you can't teleport out of its reach forever. Even you will start to tire eventually. You also can't outrun it. It will continue to chase you down no matter where you run in all of time and space. Don't worry though because there was a third part of my plan just in case Plans A and B didn't work," The Doctor said reassuringly.
"Really? So I have to pin all my hopes on a Plan C now, do I? That's very reassuring. Well, let's hope that you saved the best for last because your other two ideas were real winners, Old Man," Clara said as she continued to rapidly teleport across the room in a desperate attempt to stay one step ahead of the murderous assassin on her trail.
"Just what is this third plan of yours?" Jenna asked the Doctor curiously.
The Doctor immediately gave her a dismissive wave of his hand as he said, "You'll see soon enough. It should be ready to spring into action at any moment now."
Jenna immediately looked at him suspiciously as she said, "Is there actually a plan or are you just telling her that there's a plan to keep her hopes up until you can come up with one?"
"There actually is a plan," The Doctor said with a serious look.
"I hope so for her sake. I don't want to end up losing her just as soon as I finally met her," Jenna said in an emotional voice.
Just as she said this, Clara finally made a fatal mistake.
She had just teleported away from the raven's latest attack only to find to her utter shock that she was directly in front of it in her new location! She realized far too late that it had suddenly changed tactics and zipped across the room at incredible speed to place itself right in front of her.
It had somehow correctly predicted exactly where she was going to end up next just by watching her movements for several minutes.
All of this flashed through Clara's mind in the split second before the raven finally struck her. She had tried to teleport away but the quantum shade was already too close to her to give her enough time to get away this time.
Incredible pain such as she had never known before in her life shot through Clara's chest as the raven plunged straight into it. She instantly felt as if her internal organs were being completely shredded apart by a thousand tiny little razor sharp claws all ripping at them at once as she screamed in soul numbing agony.
Even the Vortex energy in her body didn't seem to be affecting it even though she was doing her very best to burn it out of her with all of the power that she had at that moment.
"Clara! No, this can't be really happening! It can't!" Jenna screamed in terror as she watched Clara glow with energy while she struggled to fight back against the murderous creature inside of her.
Clara knew that this was more than likely the end, but she still wasn't ready to give up just yet. Not without trying one last tactic first.
She immediately teleported away with the creature still inside of her as Jenna shouted at the Doctor in a voice filled with rage, "Where is this plan of yours now that she really needs it, Doctor? Where is it?!"
The Doctor could only look on with despair and more than a bit of confusion as though he really had expected something to happen to help Clara in that moment but had absolutely no idea why it hadn't.
Clara meanwhile was no longer counting on any plan of the Doctor's or anyone else's to save her. She had completely left the Cygnus behind as she tried one last effort to save herself with what she knew had to be her craziest idea ever. She had to at least try it though no matter how crazy that it was or she might not live to see the next moment.
She immediately reappeared right next to a horrified Matriarch and Danny on Skaro who both looked on helplessly as she continued to scream in absolute agony. Then she suddenly placed her hands on the side of the Matriarch's head and did a quick mental link with her as she learned in a single instant everything that her future self's darker side knew about how to use her Vortex powers.
Clara almost smiled now even despite the pain as she suddenly received twenty years' worth of the future Clara's knowledge on every possible use of her powers in a single moment and became an instant expert on their use. Now she pushed past the pain that was ripping through her at that moment as she prepared to finally carry out the crazy idea that she had come up with earlier.
"W – Wish me luck, Danny," Clara said through gritted teeth somehow despite being close to blacking out from the pain at that moment.
Then using every bit of her willpower to fight past the overwhelming urge that she felt to just give up and die in that moment, she teleported away from Skaro using one last jump. She immediately reemerged right where she had planned to go all along: right into the middle of a black hole!
As she felt herself being completely torn apart, she inwardly smiled in satisfaction at the knowledge that the quantum shade was being destroyed as well. Not even it could survive the powerful forces within a black hole.
Oswald for the win! She thought to herself just before her consciousness became completely dispersed.
Meanwhile back on the Cygnus, the Megara sounded almost happy as the deeper voiced machine said, "Clara Oswald is surely dead by now. No one can survive the attack of a quantum shade for long. Justice is served. Now we will carry out the long delayed sentence of the Dalek Empress and the Psycho Clara. We will start with the Psycho Clara first."
"Wrong! You're not going to be doing anything with the Psycho Clara because I already have plans for her. Big plans that don't include having her die today like the other little puppy did," Missy said as she gave the Megara an evil smile while pointing the handheld device that she used for disintegrations at them.
"You cannot harm us with that primitive weapon, Time Lord. It will not save you from being the next to be executed for daring to interfere with one of our sentences," The deeper voiced Megara warned as it began to glow with energy.
"That's Time Lady actually and I was never planning to use this on you," Missy said as she suddenly aimed her device at the Psycho Clara who screamed as a beam of pure Vortex energy was emitted straight into her body from it.
"N – No! No!" The Psycho Clara screamed in defiance as she felt the energy already starting to transform her even as it began to twist and warp her brain.
The Doctor immediately used his sonic screwdriver on the device in an attempt to shut it off, but it seemingly had no effect whatsoever. In fact, the feedback from this attempt actually caused the sonic to burn out and catch on fire. The Doctor immediately had to drop what was left of his trusted sonic to the ground with dismay as Missy eagerly laughed at him in the background.
Missy now looked at the Doctor in triumph as she said, "I came up with a way to both drive her mad and change her all at once by exposing her to a concentrated burst of Vortex energy stored in my handy little device while also subjecting her to disruptive psychic energy waves that would completely rip to shreds even the strongest mind. It also permanently binds her to my will by implanting a hypnotic suggestion to always obey me in what little is left of her brain. Soon now she's going to be my own personal mindless engine of destruction and with her I will completely reshape all of reality to my twisted little hearts' content."
Then she turned to Jenna as she said with a smirk, "You should have learned something from your character, dear. You pinned all of your hopes on the wrong Time Lord. There are those of us who actually can successfully carry out a plan however unfortunately for you."
"You? Carry out a plan? That will be the day," The Doctor said with a chuckle.
"Excuse me but I don't see any of your plans working at the moment and I do mean none of them whereas mine has just reached its final, successful conclusion. Come along, puppy. Mummy has some nasty little pests for you to kill," Missy said as she smiled in triumph at the now glowing Psycho Clara who was slowly headed her way like an obedient pet.
"Unfortunately for you, you will not survive long enough for her to carry out that order. Commencing execution immediately," The deeper voiced Megara said as the two justice machines simultaneously fired twin beams of deadly energy straight at the still smiling Time Lady.
Instead of being instantly disintegrated however, Missy laughed with malicious glee instead as the Psycho Clara deflected the powerful blasts with a single gesture. The Megara were instantly hit by the full brunt of their own blast and were both sent flying across the courtroom as Missy's laughter continued to reverberate around the chamber.
"Now it's time for the rest of Mummy's enemies to be permanently retired, puppy. Who should get the honor of going first I wonder? Oh, I know. Kill the Doctor first. I really want the remaining Claras to watch this one. If watching the other Clara die horribly while he failed to save her wasn't enough to permanently break their belief in him, then this certainly will be. Turn him into dust, puppy, and do try to make it as painful as possible, will you?" Missy said with glee.
"No," The Psycho Clara suddenly said defiantly.
"What?" Missy said in surprise.
The Psycho Clara looked at her with a defiant smile as she said, "I said no. I'm not doing anything that you say. Oh, and for future reference . . . I am not your puppy!"
That was when she fired a massive blast of energy straight at Missy that made her instantly cry out in pain. The shocked Time Lady didn't even have time to defend herself before she was quickly and efficiently cut down and hit the ground like a puppet that had had its strings cut as she lay there deathly still before her attacker.
"OH, NO. NOT THIS AGAIN. I HAD ENOUGH OF THIS BEFORE THE LAST TIME PSYCHO ME WENT ON A RAMPAGE," Oswin said in horror as she heard the Psycho Clara laugh in triumph.
"Don't worry, Oswin. That's definitely not going to happen this time. My poor screwdriver didn't die in vain after all. Now who's the one with the successful plan? " The Doctor said with smug satisfaction as he looked down at the motionless Missy.
"No, it's not. Thank you, Doctor. I just wish that you could have prevented me from regaining this power too. I never wanted any part of this again," The 'psycho' Clara said with a brief smile that was covering up the worried look in her eyes.
"Don't worry. I'll find some way to remove it again. I'll make sure that at least one of you has a happy life," The Doctor reassured her with a voice filled with regret.
"There was nothing that you could have done for her, Doctor. There was nothing that anyone could have," The former Psycho Clara reassured him.
A look of pure anger twisted the Doctor's face now as he said in a furious voice, "There is something that I can do though. I can hunt down the Valeyard, the Brethren, and anyone else that was involved in this and make sure that no one else dies by their hands. I promise you that, Clara. No one else dies!"
"As far as I know, Old Man, no one did die here today. Not unless you count Mr. Raven that is," A familiar voice said from behind him.
The Doctor immediately turned around to see a fully alive and well Clara standing there before him with a huge grin on her face as she said, "'Quoth the raven, nevermore.' That has a whole new meaning for me now."
"Clara! My Clara!" The Doctor said in relief as he immediately hugged her tightly while she returned his hug.
"Uh, not that I'm complaining or anything but how . . . ? I mean . . . just how?!" Jenna said in amazement.
Clara smiled as she said, "I stole the memories of how to use my powers efficiently from the Matriarch. That's when I learned that in the future I have such perfect control over all of the atoms in my body that I can actually bring myself back together again after being disintegrated . . . or in this case completely ripped apart by a black hole."
"Even so there's no way that you should have been able to escape. Nothing can escape a black hole," Cydonia said in disbelief.
"The future me apparently did once in her past. I saw the memory of it in the Matriarch's mind. That's when I knew for sure that my crazy plan would work because it already did . . . several years from now," Clara said happily.
"So you used knowledge of your future for your own purposes and risked possibly altering it in the process?" The Doctor said in disapproval.
"Don't get all high and mighty with me, Old Man. Isn't that just like something that you would do? Don't think Amy didn't tell me about how you saved yourself at Lake Silencio. I know all about it," Clara said defiantly.
"You don't understand, Clara. I – I just don't want you to wind up like that other Clara did and die by taking the same kinds of risks that I would. I don't want you to act like me, Clara. I want you to be better and smarter than that," The Doctor said with eyes filled with worry and regret.
Clara smiled and kissed his cheek as she said, "I appreciate that, Mr. Grim. I really do. I promise that I'll try to do better about that in the future. I'll start with making myself forget all of that future knowledge I took from the Matriarch. I don't really want to know too much about my own future anyway. Besides things seem to already be changing from what she remembers. None of this ever happened in her timeline which I had to admit made me wonder if I could still escape the black hole or not. It was kind of the last chance that I had left though of even possibly surviving today."
"I just don't understand why you weren't saved long before then though. She should have been here," The Doctor said as he continued to look worried.
"Who should have? What was your Plan C exactly?" Clara asked in confusion.
"That is something that you will never know I'm afraid. Commence execution immediately," The deeper voiced Megara suddenly said from behind Clara.
Clara turned just in time to see twin blasts of deadly energy heading straight towards her. She was still far too weak from her near destruction in the black hole to even attempt to stop them in any way. She had used up the last of her energy to teleport herself back to the Cygnus after her body had reintegrated safely outside of the black hole so she couldn't even teleport herself to safety.
It truly seemed now as if she just had gone through all of that only to wind up dying here at the non-existent hands of the Megara anyway. Luckily for her however that was when Plan C finally went into effect.
Just before the lethal blasts would have hit her, Rose suddenly appeared in front of Clara in a burst of golden energy and deflected them straight at the Megara just as the former Psycho Clara had before her. Being hit by two such powerful blasts in a row immediately caused the Megara to fall to the floor in defeat and lie there in a stunned barely conscious state.
Clara laughed now as she said, "You should have called her Plan R. Then I would have known what you meant."
"Rose, where were you?" The Doctor said anxiously even as Rose immediately rushed to Clara's side and hugged her tightly.
"Oi! Don't snap at me, mate! I was a bit busy fighting with the Valeyard, yeah? He knew that you were going to bring me here to save Clara because he knows you and how you think all too well. He had a trap waiting for me just as soon as I tried to come here. I've been fighting him the whole time and only just got away from him a few minutes ago. I wish I could have captured him, but the Brethren teleported him to safety just as I was about to. It seems like they had other plans for him. You're just lucky that I was able to finish in time to save you from that black hole, Clara. The Doctor's right. You shouldn't take risks like that," Rose said with a frown as she kissed the top of Clara's head.
"Wait a minute. So you saved me? Future me survived one all by herself though. I saw it in the Matriarch's memories," Clara said in confusion.
"Sure about that are you?" Rose said with an enigmatic smile.
"It was you then too, wasn't it? She just didn't realize that any more than I did just now. I don't know how you know about something that hasn't even happened yet, but if anyone would it would definitely be you, Bad Wolf Girl," Clara said with a chuckle.
Then she kissed Rose's cheek and said in a heartfelt voice, "Thank you."
Rose smiled as she said, "You don't ever have to thank me, Clara. It's what you do for family."
Jenna smiled now because she could see that Rose really meant that. She could tell just by watching them together that Clara was just like a daughter to her.
She was so glad that at least one Clara had a mother somewhere . . . even if she did look more like her little sister.
"I'm a lot older than I look. I'm still really young for a Time Lord though," Rose said with a grin as she suddenly looked at her causing Jenna to jump.
"Sorry. I picked up on your thoughts by accident. I do that sometimes. Didn't mean to freak you out," Rose said apologetically.
"That's alright. After what you just did for Clara, I'm more than willing to let a little breaking and entering of my brain go," Jenna said with a reassuring smile.
"She has saved no one. The Megara will still have justice," The deeper voiced Megara said as the twin machines began to glow once more.
"You lot just never give up do you? Fine. I'll just send you somewhere where you can't ever bother me or any of mine again. It'll give you plenty of time to think over just what justice really means, yeah?" Rose said as she waved her hand and instantly caused the Megara to vanish.
"Where did you send them?" Clara asked curiously even as she started to remember the future Megara's comments about regretting their part in her own death.
"The end of time. They'll have plenty of time to think there and no one to bother either," Rose said reassuringly.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that," Clara said as she quickly explained about the future Megara.
"I wonder how they escaped. Well, however it happened at least they tried to help make up for what they had done anyway," Rose said with a shrug.
The Grace briefly smiled to themselves but said nothing. They had bent their own oath (but had not outright broken it) by discreetly sending the future Megara back home to their own time. They had tried to give them a chance to avert their own past and if by doing so it had saved Clara in the process then that would have been all the better.
Unfortunately things didn't quite work out that way. Luckily for them the Doctor and Rose saved Clara for them anyway however.
They could only hope that she would continue to stay that lucky in the future. She still had so much left to do after all. Soon the universe would have the greatest use for her.
That was still to come in the future though and Clara was still very much involved in the problems of the present moment.
"Rose, can you bring the echoes that the Valeyard killed back to life again? One of them has a little girl who really needs her," Clara pleaded.
"I'll do my best. It might already be too late though. Their deaths could be a fixed moment in time already by now," Rose warned as she began to glow with power.
"Maybe I could bring them back somehow . . . even if I do have to make them into Dalek puppets. It's better than nothing and it seems to have worked out for your Miss Montague echo," Oswin said in a normal voice as she finally opened the lid of her casing.
"Yeah, Nina seems to be doing alright with it I suppose. I'd still rather not have them back that way though if I can help it," Clara said.
"Don't worry because that's not going to happen," Rose said with a smile as the formerly dead echoes began to slowly start returning to life once more.
"Thanks again, Rose," Clara said as she hugged her in gratitude.
"What did I tell you about thanking me, Clara? Never listen do you?" Rose said with a chuckle.
"Clara, have you seen Abigail? Is she safe? I just left here there back home all alone when I was taken. If anything's happened to her . . ." Abigail's mother said in a frantic voice.
"Relax, okay? I found her while I was looking for you. Other than being worried sick about you she's perfectly fine. Don't worry. You'll see her soon enough. I just hope that you still recognize her. I bet my Gran's already fattening her up at this very moment," Clara said with a giggle.
She had conveniently left out the part where Abigail had almost died. Her mother definitely didn't need to know about that in her opinion. She was much better off not knowing how close she came to losing her.
Or rather how close Clara had come to failing her.
She was beginning to wonder if she would ever be as good at helping people as the Doctor and Rose were. She just wanted to be like them and be able to handle things herself without always having to run to them all of the time to ultimately save the day. It seemed like she was always doing that even today. She hadn't even saved herself from the black hole after all despite having successfully faced the raven.
It was more than a bit disappointing actually. She wanted to be far more than just someone's companion. She wanted to be a proper hero herself one day.
She couldn't help but wonder if and when she would ever get out of the Doctor's shadow.
"Oh, come on! I can't believe Missy got away again," Rose suddenly said breaking Clara out of her thoughts.
"Yes, all Koscheis do that last minute escape when no one's looking bit, Rose. It's probably the only thing that they actually are the master at is staying alive and free. You get used to it," The Doctor said with a shrug.
"Speaking of going free, Doctor, I'm afraid that I'll still have to take you to Skaro to face those charges," Oswin joked.
Rose immediately gave her a furious look that made Oswin instantly hold up her hands in surrender as she said with a smirk, "Okay, okay! I'll let the charges drop, okay? Don't disintegrate me. I give up."
Rose rolled her eyes and smiled as she said, "Shut up!"
That was when Jenna smiled and said, "Yeah, I think I was right after all in what I told the Megara. You really do have a family that will keep you out of trouble now. Every single one of you."
"Yes, and that's a full time job in itself, yeah?" Rose quipped.
"We should definitely be getting paid for it," The Doctor added.
"You want to be paid, huh? How about this then? Is this payment enough?" Clara said in amusement as she hugged him.
"It'll do," The Doctor said as he tried very hard not to smile in perfect contentment at that moment.
He failed.
Next: Clara attempts to wrap up the loose ends of this storyline at last as she reunites Abigail and her mother, tries to resolve the problem of the Psycho Clara's power, and returns Jenna home. None of this is as easy to accomplish as it sounds however especially when the problems of being the new Lady President of Gallifrey are laid on top of everything else.
Yeah, you heard that right.
