"Oh, I would," he hisses. At this precise moment, he would be willing to tear down half the universe with his bare hands.
He thinks of Harriet Jones, the disgrace that six words could bring. He thinks of two armies sucked out of time and space itself to drift endlessly in the Void. He thinks of the Carrionites, frozen in a neverending scream. He thinks of the Aubertines, the so-called 'Family of Blood', suspended forever in time. And he thinks of the Master, choosing to die in the Doctor's arms rather than live a prisoner; one final act of defiance to hurt his enemy more deeply by forcing him to survive.
The quiet fury of a Time Lord is a terrible thing to behold. And this one burns brighter than most because the punishment inflicted upon her is so close to the one he has visited upon his enemies in the past. Anger and shame make for a hotter flame than anger alone.
