A/n: Martha's run off with the Tardis, the boys are in a bit of trouble and Rassilon clearly has something to do with the Master's drums... What else could go wrong?
Punishment
"Leave her alone!" The Doctor's shout was ignored and only earned him a kick to the gut by one of his captors.
Jack dragged the Doctor backward, stuffing the Time Lord between himself and the Master as they both shielded him and glared up at their captors. They'd all been forced to the ground during their various escape attempts and were glad that at least Martha might have gotten away, even if she had half of their captors trying to chase her down at the moment. At least Rassilon wasn't seeing to her capture personally, there was no telling what he would do to them and the prospects were even less appealing should he ^take a shine^ to Martha. Jack tried not to think about something like that happening. He'd been in enough wars, undergrounds, and revolutions as a Time Agent to know that sometimes what you were fighting to stop was happening one room over and you couldn't always stop it without getting yourself and the person being hurt killed. He'd ignored it then but he was a different man now and Jack wasn't going to let that happen to Martha or the Doctor if he could help it. For the Doctor's sake he'd also do the same for the Master, but he suspected that it would be him and the Master working together to keep Martha and the Doctor in the dark and protected from any... threats that they had to take care of discretely and permanently. He was brought sharply back to their current predicament by a blow to the head, which he immediately shook off, then glared at the man who'd delivered it.
"You'd better hope your friends don't catch her." Jack hissed at his assailant. "If they do and she happens to get hurt then I'll come for you and your little play group. Killing me wont stop me, after all I don't stay dead." The utter coldness and truth that the man saw in Jack's gaze as the threat was delivered caused him to quickly remove himself from the vicinity of the captives.
"Good on the menace, an effective threat, but lacking a bit in style." The Master critiqued.
"Master!" The Doctor scolded in exasperation, then he turned on Jack, disappointment in his eyes and voice. "You really shouldn't have done that, Jack."
"It wont matter, traitor." Rassilon told them gleefully. "They will be joining you in your punishment. The abomination, for what it is and the Master, for not yet retrieving us from the time lock."
The Doctor gave him a dead stare, not holding back one bit, allowing the full fury of his own darkness, his own storm to show, causing Rassilon to take a step back in shock. "Even with all of the regret and wishing there had been another way, even with the nightmares, torment, and torture that the decision has put me through over the centuries. I would make the same choice again knowing the full consequences and torment that will result. My body may have been dragged from the war by my Tardis against my wishes after I triggered the seal but my mind still hasn't left it. Just as you and the others are dead, the war is still killing me, it just hasn't finished destroying me first." The Doctor informed him solemnly causing Jack and the Master to exchange surprised and worried glances. "I am well aware of my crimes and I have not run from the natural punishment that all of our people endure for such things. I never once used the reconciliation techniques that were developed to combat the nightmares and battle fatigue that the war brought to us. I never once forgot the faces of the victims or the sight of the disasters that the war brought. I never removed the emotion from those memories, even though I knew it would eventually kill me. Had you been sane, none of you would have even considered the Final Sanction. If it were possible I would return to before the war and submit myself for judgement and punishment, any punishment. The humans I travel with keep me from going to far, from destroying where there is no need. They are my ultimate conscious and leash when my own efforts have failed. They always have been." Jack hugged him close, ignoring the lack of response. The Master had an altogether different take on the matter...
"You bloody idiot." The Master told him softly, startling the Doctor from his reverie of pain and remembrance. "No wonder you have a death wish. Do you have any idea how hard it is to keep up with you? Now you go and do something stupid like this."
"Don't." The Doctor warned.
"That's enough, both of you." Jack said sharply. "Focus on what we're dealing with now, anything else can be taken care of later."
"Since you volunteered, the abomination shall go first." Rassilon told them with false sincerity as he motioned for Jack to be separated from the other two.
Jack didn't go quietly. They had to force him to a position several feet away. Another hand motion from Rassilon began the beating. The Master had to restrain the Doctor so that he wouldn't try to get to Jack and toss his assailants off of him and get badly hurt in the process as was bound to happen, worsening the punishment for all of them. The utter fury that was stirred in both captive Time Lords as they were forced to watch as Jack was beaten to a bloody pulp first with fists and feet then other tools were used. It was clear that these men had done such things before, they were quite expert in their bloody work and blood soon flew. They knew exactly how far a human body could go, this became quickly clear along with the fact that Rassilon didn't intend to give any of them the chance to regenerate and heal or die and escape his retribution. By the time the tormentors stopped working Jack over he had fallen unconscious several times only to have been forced back into wakefulness each time. Rassilon grinned in satisfaction as he ended the beating and motioned the men to return Jack to the two Time Lords. They did this with little care for Jack and his injuries causing him to cry out as they had been unable to cause before. Throughout the beating aside from a moan or a groan here and there Jack had done his best to remain silent and deny his captors the satisfaction of acknowledging their strikes. The Doctor and the Master had also been grimly silent throughout the assault, despite the Doctor's repeated attempts to escape the Master's grip to try and go to Jack's side.
"I believe that I'll let you think about this for a bit. Perhaps by then the child might have joined our little discussion." Rassilon told them maliciously. "She might be salvageable, if not... *shrug* She can always join the three of you."
