She couldn't believe she had been reduced to this. An emotional wreck. She paced her cell, looking for answers. She didn't know if she was going to get out of this alive. All she could do was imagine what it would be like to be back on Earth, sitting at a cafe with her parents eating ice cream, or taking non-existent children for a walk in the park. She could do better than this. So much better. And Lilly Klein wanted answers. She needed to know why.

A doppelganger guard came to the door. "Master would like to see you."

"Master." Lilly scoffed. She knew the real Master would tear this thing apart if he could. They may have had the same goal in mind, but they would have gone about it so much differently. He led her down a dark corridor, and into the main chamber. She stood in front of the creature.

"I'm not bowing."

"That is of no consequence, warrior woman. You have shown your bravery today. But that will get you nowhere."

"I just need to know one thing. Why?" she said this, but she feared the answer that was going to be given.

"Because I can." Your planet was there, and that is what I do. People will die, yes. Everything has its time. Everything."

She began to cry. She knew now that every defence she had put up was futile. She was going to be experimented on, and people were going to die, and here she was blubbering like a baby in front of a pathetic and disturbed creature.

"Am I free to go?"

"Not yet. One last thing."

Lilly nodded. She wasn't ready for more mental torture.

"Every king needs his queen."

"Will it spare my life?" She didn't know why she asked this question. She would rather be dead than living as a Stepford wife for this creature. It repulsed her, and every second she spent in its company she despised it even more.

"Yes. What good would a dead consort be?"

"Then I'll do it. May I be excused now, to see Captain Harkness?"

"Fine, but I expect you to take a trip to the worship hall to see what I have planned."

A short time later, she arrived in the worship hall, where an elderly man was kneeling at the altar, praying to God. She looked across the room and saw statues of the creature, and paintings all over the walls. She laughed at its self indulgence, when the man noticed her.

"You must be the warrior woman."

"Yes. And you are?"

"Frank. I co-ordinate worship here."

"Oh. You don't seem like an Earth citizen."

"I'm not. I'm from a planet on the other side of the galaxy. One day he arrived and had us all under his control."

"But you aren't."

"He lets me free in exchange for this service for him."

"How long have you been here?"

"Since I was a boy." Lilly struggled to comprehend why he stayed. He must have had the willpower of a saint. All of his family must be dead, he may have even watched them die. She began to get upset.

"Don't you get sick of this?"

"Every day."

"Is there any way of stopping it?"

"The scripture tells the tale of a sacred warrior who arrived one day and put the beast to sleep forever."

The cogs began turning in Lilly's head. The creature referred to her as the warrior woman. If it thought of her as the warrior, maybe she had the power to stop it. "Frank, I think I have a solution to all of this. All we need to do is get this wedding pushed forward for today."

"I'll get that sorted out then. The scripture dictates that you must use this though." He handed her a ceremonial dagger.

"Why have you kept that?"

"I believed that one day the right person would come along with a grudge against the creature that was big enough for me to get my revenge too. All I needed to do was give them the idea. I've waited over 50 years for this. I'm not going to let another minute go to waste."

Lilly admired his guts. She promised that even if she had to die doing it, she was going to destroy this creature's evil empire once and for all. She walked out to see Jack, as Frank got the ceremonial dress delivered to her.

She entered Jack's room. "Lilly, I think I've got a plan. We get everyone to think the same thing, it should over rule any psychic connection."

"Let me guess, the Doctor gave you the idea?"

"Yes. We need them to think rebellion. The word is already being passed on for the next group meeting."

"Well, I've got some news of my own, I'm getting married to the creature. The ceremony is later today."

"Why?"

"I've got a plan of my own. While you are over ruling the psychic connection, I will be able to complete the sacrifice stated in the scriptures. I can kill it. I am the warrior woman."

The dress arrived, and Lilly put it on. She looked in the pocket, to find a piece of the scripture that Frank had given her. It displayed the warrior, wearing a similar outfit to hers, and she knew she was the one. Lilly swore to herself that it was dead. She made a promise that she was going to kill it, for herself, for Frank, and for the human race.

She walked down to the ceremony, where the citizens were all in place, every one of them. They had been given the word to rebel, and were all going to think the same thing at the same time. She walked down to the front of the room, and stood in front of the creature, and Frank began to read the ceremonial words from the scripture.

Then it all began to go exactly as planned. Everyone thought about a rebellion, and the creature lost its grip on them. As it fought for control, Lilly realised she could no longer hear its thoughts. She raised the dagger to kill it, but it blocked the manoeuvre, and began to stop her heart. It was going to kill Lilly, and there was nothing anyone could do...

Until she had an adrenaline rush, forcing the block back. She was able to push the ceremonial dagger back, straight into the creature's brain. The creature began to die in front of her. The doppelgangers all dropped to the floor, and the psychic connection was lost. Lilly raised herself up on the pedestal.

"Alright, everyone, please go to a teleportation booth and teleport back to Earth. It doesn't matter which. I will sort it out, I promise." She saw the Prime Minister in the crowd "Mr Prime Minister, while you were here, I did a bad thing, and I'm sorry. I had to kill your doppelganger and I thought it was you."

"Lilly, you have done a fine job of saving the world, and I've heard tales that you were the only citizen to keep your head during all of this. Thank you."

She blushed, and turned to Frank. "What will you do now?"

"There's nothing left. I'm going to make sure it pays though. I've got enough chemicals in the labs to blow this place up. God forgive me, but it needs to be done. I'm going to die with it. I've got what I want. Don't try to change my mind."

"But..."

"No buts. My mind is made up." He was resilient.

"I'll never forget you." With that, she too teleported down to Earth.

Anneka watched the news in amazement as people teleported home. She made her way into work to find Lilly Klein sitting at her desk, studying pictures.

Captain Jack Harkness came out of his office when she arrived. "Anneka, how nice to meet you." He shook hands with her. "I've told Miss Klein to leave here and get some sleep, but she has refused."

"Captain, I've got a large workload, all of these families need to be brought back together. This country went to hell yesterday, and it needs to be fixed. Team Torchwood have a lot of work to do."

Lilly made her way to the door, turning her head momentarily. "The first thing I need to do is re-unite a mother and son. Then we can get coffee."

Anneka and Jack smiled. Lilly had been through a lot in the past two days, and she was normal. Maybe she would fit in well at Torchwood. Outside, Lilly smiled too, because she remembered Rupert's words, and she realised that he would have been proud of her. The Doctor would have been proud too. And so she carried on, smiling all the way.
