The Doctor unlocked the cell and the group all filed out into the corridor. "Right, all the guards are asleep, the Master is out of the way. We just need to get to the TARDIS and..." Raggedy froze mid-winning speech and stared at River. The Doctor had walked straight over to her when he left the cell and had bundled her into a hug. "I need to go and thank my wife, be right back!" he skipped over and flung himself against River, receiving a withering look from the Doctor in response. "Thank you honey!" he said and nuzzled her neck, immersing his face into her curls. "I'm sorry it took so long...I had to get him to trust me." River whimpered. The Doctor raised her face to meet his "It's fine, you know, not a minute too soon." he said warmly. "I felt sick, physically sick! Being near to that man," River said, looking at the Master, "is a kin to suffering from pneumonia!" she shuddered as if at some distant memory. "But it is all over now, and you never have to see him again. I wouldn't let you, seeing him kiss you like that. I wanted to knock the air clean out of his lungs, touching MY WIFE, of all people!" the Doctor muttered angrily to himself. The group thought they heard a growl from Raggedy's direction. "How did you know about the orb? How did you know what he wanted? How did the Master even find us?" Clara pelted questions at the Doctors. They both smiled in response.
"River told us about the orb" the Doctor said, tapping River on the nose. "When we were at the Torchwood base, we were on the point of giving up, when Riv told us she saw some objects that resembled Time Lord technology in the Master's office when she was reconstituted into existence." Raggedy continued. "We described the orb and asked whether she'd seen one, and she had. So we had the solution to the overload, but how we got the orb was another problem entirely. It was then River said the Master seemed interested in her at Stormcage. He told River that his deal with the Silence would give him River and the Silence, me and my companions. He offered her a deal to capture me in return for her life. This of course she refused but he placed a tracker on her, which she disabled, as you all saw when we spied on the Silence." the Doctor took over again.
"In Torchwood my elder self and I decided that if River pretended to take up the Master's offer, she would get the orb and be cured. The problem was then how we escaped from the ship." Raggedy looked at River. "I used one of the many drugs I keep on my person, all of which I gave myself immunity to. The sleeping draft seemed most appropriate as it gave us the longest time to escape. After I was healed I poured the draft into the broth the guards were about to eat along with yourselves. That is why the Doctors forbade you consuming any. The Master was the hardest to fool as he didn't eat the guards' food; it was 'below' him apparently. Luckily I have a backup draft in the form of a lipstick I carry. And well, you saw the rest." River looked at both her husbands who smiled encouragingly. "I am on your side, I told you, I could never harm my dear Husband, not permanently anyway." she blushed slightly as both Doctors kissed her on each cheek.
"Ok. Now we need to get out...where are we exactly?" Raggedy let go of River and span in a neat circle. "That way! No, doesn't smell right...That way!" he started to walk when River spoke, "You know dear, you could look at the ship's map I put up on the display when the Master was doing his winning speech." she pointed to the computer she was working at before. "The exact computer I was looking at after she finished typing at it!" the Doctor flashed a grin at River proudly and puffed out his chest. Raggedy scowled, "I don't like future me..." he could be heard grumbling as he looked at the monitor. "That way!" he pointed down a third corridor and River nodded in support. Raggedy beamed and dragged Clara and Amy off their feet down the corridor spouting "Come along Pond and impossible girl!" the group looked at River and Donna voiced their thoughts "Good job you're marrying him, I would have murdered him by now." River smiled slightly at the Doctor who gave a knowing smile in response. The group started to leave when River turned back toward the Master and bent over him. A metallic click could be heard, and then River, satisfied with her work, turned and linked her arm with the Doctor. "Still the handcuffs!" he laughed. River pouted "Well we need a head start!" she replied in a mockingly innocent tone. The group burst out laughing as the Master snored and all started back to the TARDIS.
