So this is the first time I've used a Google Doc to write something like this, so it might seem different. Or not.
Don't own.
"So, you were going to kill me?!" Clara asked again, anger and disbelief still prevalent in her tone.
"Yeah, at the time." The Master replied. "Still might. Never know."
"Don't kill me!" she replied, more in annoyance than in fear.
"I'm just pulling your strings! You're the only one that can get me to the Box!"
"Because I can drive?"
"Because I can't think of anybody stupid enough to drive somebody who just threatened to kill them." He said, tapping on the window.

The Master had a fair point. Even after being told he would have originally murdered her before hearing about the Joker, Clara still agreed to take him to the Box. It spoke more about here own curiosity then foolishness. Also, Clara was pretty sure the Master was the only one who knew what the Box was, and that might be useful.
Which was why she was driving him to the Box.
She wasn't sure why she was so determined to find the Box, but it might have had something to do with a sense of adventure. At least, that was what she was telling herself.
The ride was going to take a few hours, so she decided to make conversation with The Master.
"What would killing me have accomplished anyway?"
"Oh, nothing. I would just need to get rid of you because you witness my regeneration. I would have went on the climb the social ladder of your human society and rule it with an iron fist. What was it England has? A president? Or is it still a king? It would be so much easier if I just had to woo some princess and kill some successors!"
There was a lot of information to process from that statement, so Clara decided to pick the one related to something that had bothered her for a while.
"Regeneration? You mean that glowing thing from the ally? What was that, anyway?"
"You seem like a bright girl. You figure it out." The Master replied, in a condescending tone. "Who do you think the old man in the ally was?"
"...Oh." Clara said, after thinking for a few seconds. "How...What the hell are you?"
"Time Lord."
"...Should I know what that is?"
"You SHOULD, but you don't." The Master rolled his eyes. "Humans. Always a step behind the rest of the universe. He probably hung out around here all the time because he felt clever."
"Who?"
"Why are we always talking about me?" The Master suddenly asked. "Tell me about yourself, Clara."
"...Ok then. Well, I'm a fan of travel, but-"
"Oh! Wait!" He interrupted "I remember now! It's because you're boring, and I'm very interesting!"
Clara groaned. "Look, who were you talking about beforehand?"
"Oh. Right. Him." The Master hissed, venom in his voice. "He calls himself 'The Doctor'. I'm surprised that he's not that promoted around here. He's done a lot for you people."
"Wait, wha-" Clara paused to organize her thoughts. "...The Doctor? Really?"
"I know! What a stupid name! You get to choose your name, so I have no idea why he would choose that!"
"Actually, I was going to say I was noticing the pattern. I think it says more about you that you chose 'The Master'."
"Ha Ha." The Master muttered, as Clara giggled. "Anyway, odds are you'll see him soon enough. The Box is his."
"But I thought The Joker-"
"Probably stole it from him. Not that impressive. I've done it plenty of times before. Now, what we got to do is get to the box before he gets to it, which will be tricky, since I don't know what he looks like."
"How could you-" Clara stopped herself. "Regeneration." she said.
"Right." The Master said. "Last time I saw the Doctor, we were fighting a war. IT was a pretty big and deadly war. Odds are he regenerated at some point during the war."
"What happened with the war?"
"Hell if I know. That's was where I was before I got here. Due to time travel, the war is probably over by now. If that Box is here, that means he survived it." The Master continued. "SO we have to get to the box before him, kick the clown out, and I'll take."
"For what?" Clara asked.
"World domination." The Master replied.
"Alright then." Clara said, smirking to herself. "So do you want to stop for anything?"
The Master looked at Clara, studying her. He then said. "Pull over to that station. I need some jerky."
Clara did as the Time Lord said. After she parked in front of the store, the Master got out of the car.
"Get me some gum!" She shouted over to him as he entered to car.
She observed the Master as he walked around the store. He walked over to the shelf with the jerky packets, and grabbed a half-dozen of them. The cashier didn't notice due to the fact that he was half asleep. The Master walked over to the cash register and grabbed several packets of gum.
It suddenly occurred to Clara that the Master probably didn't have any money on him.
The cashier was making a fuss to the Master, who was simply looking at him. The Master, meanwhile, was taking out some sort of pen out of his pocket.
A red beam shot out of the pen, causing the cashier to collapse.
Clara yelped in surprise as the Master dashed out of the store and back into the car.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" she shouted.
"You better drive. The fuzz is probably on the way, and I just killed a guy."
"WHY?!"
"Because you weren't taking me seriously." The Master replied, turning to face Clara with a dark look on his face. "Let's be clear. I am going to take over the world. I am going to kill people. I am not some funny pretty boy. Don't try to think you're smarter then me. You aren't. And remember: I am the only person who has any idea what's going on, and I. Am. Insane."
"Now stop talking and get me to the Box."
Clara remained silent for the rest of the car ride.
The Master was also silent, aside from his constant tapping on the window.

I know things seem kinda weak now, but let me assure you, there are chapters coming up that will be worth trudging through this crap.
When all the Batman stuff gets involved, things will get interesting. I just wanted to introduce this team up and how it would work.
The Master is really just as charming as the Doctor, but is much more insane.
Also, I might be simultaneously starting and sinking the Clara/Master ship.
That is all. For now.
