A/N: Sorry this took so long to get up- I haven't had much free time to write in. Hopefully, it'll be worth the wait.

Lucy drove through the streets like a woman possessed. She nearly ran over several Council work crews who were attempting to repair the damage caused by the "suicide bombings', and knocked down a couple of street signs as she made her way back to Roald Dahl Plass.

She barely noticed.

All she really noticed- the only thing she could focus on- was the sound of the Master's voice in her head, commanding her again and again, "Come, come, come to me." Lucy heart pounded, and a shudder ran down her back every time that voice rang through her mind. She was so close to regaining what was most precious to her; it was only a matter of minutes, now.

Before long, she was back in the courtyard above the Torchwood Hub, and heading straight for the fountain where she had deposited the ring a week earlier. She slammed her foot down on the brake. The car screeched to a stop just a few feet away from the fountain. Lucy scrambled out of the car, not caring if the Freak or any of his teammates were watching her on their security cameras. All that mattered was the bloody ring.

Lucy paused as she stood next to the fountain. The water was bubbling, and a bright golden glow was emanating from the bottom. Taking a deep breath, Lucy plunged her hand into the water, expecting to be burned. Instead, all she felt was a slight warmth in her hand as she grasped the ring. She pulled it out, and stared at it. The power to resurrect the love of her life, in the palm of her hand.

The energy field around the ring pulsed, and Harry's voice filled her mind again. 'Get me away," it said, 'Get me somewhere safe.' Lucy blinked, confused. Then she took a look around her- the few people in the Plass were all staring at her from a distance, some talking on their mobiles. They were no doubt calling the police about her little drive into the area.

There was also no doubt Torchwood would intercept some of those calls. 'And I'm still over their sodding base!' Lucy snapped to herself. She couldn't very well bring Harry back to life here! The bystanders would not only recognize the former Prime Minister, they would probably be more than a little curious as to how he just appeared in the middle of Cardiff- not to mention that would definitely attract Captain Harkness' attention, and that was the last thing Lucy needed.

She quickly shoved the ring back into her pocket, jumped back into her car, and hit the gas.

Lucy drove as far away from the city center as she could, as fast as she could. She drove and drove, and eventually found herself at the docks on the edge of town. Figuring this was as remote as she was going to get, Lucy stopped the car and got out. She walked towards one of the warehouses, and, finding that the door was practically falling off its hinges, walked inside.

'Put me down,' the Master's voice once again sounded in Lucy's mind as she walked into the large, mostly empty interior of the warehouse. A feeling of joy spread throughout Lucy's body as she took the ring out of her pocket and placed it on the floor. She then stepped back, and waited to see what happened.

For a moment nothing did happen. Then, the energy field around the ring started pulsing rapidly. It floated into the air, and the energy started spreading out from it, until it formed the outline of a human being- or something humanoid, anyway- with the ring situated on the ring finger of the left hand. Bones began appearing within the field, until a full skeleton had formed. A beating sound began, so much indeed like a set of drums, as two hearts appeared within the chest cavity. From them, the entire cardiovascular system spread out, followed by the other organs, and the muscles. Just as the skin began to appear, there was a flash of light, and Lucy had to shield her eyes.

When she opened them again, she let out a breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding. Standing in front of her was her husband, looking exactly the same as he had that day aboard the Valiant. He was even wearing the same suit he had died in. He opened his eyes, and took a deep breath.

The Master had been reborn.

Tears of happiness formed in Lucy's eyes as she took a few steps forward. "H-Harry?" she asked, her voice wavering. Harry turned to look at her, and a smile formed on his face. "Hello, Lucy," he said simply, as if he hadn't just come back from the dead. Lucy let out a cry of joy as she knocked the resurrected Time Lord over in her rush to embrace him.

The Master let out a grunt as his wife knocked him over, but happily returned the hug. "I missed you," Lucy sobbed into his shoulder. "It's alright," her husband said, taking her chin into his hand, and tilting her head up so he could look her in the eye. "I'm back, and here to stay." Lucy smiled at him, and pressed her lips against Harry's.

At the other end of the warehouse, a pair of eyes watched the reunited couple. A pair of eyes that didn't belong to anything human, or anything from Earth, for that matter. It had sensed massive amounts of Rift energy, and had come to investigate. It didn't understand how a couple of ordinary looking humans were giving off that much power, nor did it care. All it did care about was that there was fresh meat just standing there, right in front of it.

The Weevil let out a small growl of anticipation as it sent a empathic message to its pack mates further back in the warehouse- it was time for the hunt to begin.

A/N: Okay… I'm getting flamed, aren't I? I can't write romance to save my life. Well, only a couple of chapters left. Hopefully they'll be better than this one.

Read and review!
