Order of Champions
As they broke apart from their impromptu hugging session something occured to Jack. The others noticed his odd expression as he moved back to his own copy of the invocation and stared at it.
"Jack?" The Doctor asked softly.
"Something isn't right about this." Jack told them abruptly. "This binding us to earth and humanity bit. I get the feeling it isn't just requiring us to keep watch over them and protect both earth and humanity as a whole, even if that's what it says. What if as guardians you need a support base? Maybe even one that's as large as an entire species? Rather like how there tend to be more support personnel then actual soldiers, if you count everyone involved with keeping a military unit much less an army up and running at peak efficentcy. What if the fact that you two are Time Lords isn't a coincidence? What if whoever or whatever chooses the guardians was trying to bring the Time Lords back into the fold? You've told me yourself Doc, the Time Lords retreated from the universe and established a non-interferance policy. What if that's what pushed them into trying for Time Lord guardians? They would have had to wait a while to make certain that the standards would hold up and weren't just something that would pass in a few centuries or generations but..."
The looks of complete shock that were pasted across their faces when Jack turned around as he trailed off confirmed his suspicion. They hadn't even thought of the possibility that they were a rescue attempt, a failed one but a rescue attempt none-the-less.
"They wanted us gone so badly," The Doctor murmured. "but we hadn't done anything bad enough for all traces of us, even our children to be wiped out."
"They would have had to destroy all traces of both Omega and Rassilon, our people's greatest heroes had they ruled that the two of us were to be destroyed." The Master agreed. "Even wipe what last DNA traces are left of them from the Matrix. The High Council would never agree to it and if the people of Gallifrey ever discovered it literally the entire government would have been slaughtered enmass."
"Of course, our human heritage." The Doctor turned to them excitedly. "It would have been the only way for them to establish guardians on Gallifrey! We had to have a human bloodline! How many champions have come from earth over the centuries or had ancestors that dated back to earth? Almost always there was a link to earth and humanity within this galatic cluster once a spacefaring species had strayed to far. If it wasn't a human it was human influence that brought them back onto the right path, the more sensible path of just living, Or it destroyed them because they posed to much of a threat. Oh, you could have a champion without human influence of one type or another but they always tend toward the boring and more brawn than brain. Humans and those who have been around humans, those champions always find clever ways of sorting out the mess, or inspiring a way out. For us there was just to much tradition and atron energy invested into the Time Lord people, a more random factor had to be introduced. What species is more random yet as good or better at survival than humans?"
"Well that's certainly one theory." The Master observed with a bit of surprise.
The Doctor's face fell. "You don't believe me." He said, disappointed.
"You're logic could use a bit of tweaking but the basic theory is sound enough, I suppose." The Master conceded. "I suspect that you're right that humans have been used as a genetic randomizer by more than one over-powered idiot trying to manipulate time or destiny but I very much doubt that they are as important as you've just made them out to be. I suggest you review your own statement and re-consider its ramifications."
The Doctor thought back over what he had just verbally tossed at them at high speed and started to blush. "I'm sorry." He blurted out. "I didn't quite think that through. Its a bit daft innit? Humans being tossed all over the place just to make certain that events happen like they should or to change a certain string of events? I mean, well you are brilliant but there's a limit to what any species can do."
"I suspect that the part of your theory which involved why our people were so stringent in dealing with bloodline purity is correct, aside from our general arrogance and pompous attitudes." The Master told him consideringly. "They certainly would have had Martha killed."
"No one is killing Martha." The Doctor's complete shift in his tone of voice and stance was the only warning the other three got. They weren't just facing the Doctor, they were facing the Oncoming Storm of Dalek legend.
The Master's own eyes glittered in a similar fury. "Did I say we would give them the chance? Had that fragment of Rassilon been any more complete or coherent he would have tried to destroy her within the bond its self and damn the consequences." The Master responded coldly.
Jack decided that the discussion was getting a bit to heated, and in the wrong direction, for his liking so he stepped straight up to the Doctor and kissed him. Surprising both male Time Lords and earning a giggle from Martha over how he'd diffused the situation.
The Doctor stumbled backward from the unexpected kiss, wide eyed and glancing nervously at the Master who was looking more intrigued than homicidal. "Jack? Wha..what are you doing? You're mated to the Master!" He stammered.
"Yup, and we left more than enough room to add you to the mating bond." Jack agreed. "Or did you forget already that we only mated first to make it safer for you? If it takes us a thousand years we will court you and accept your decision but we both want you in the bond."
The Master had stepped up behind Jack in support and nodded firmly, just before he said softly. "I've been trying to court you since we were in school Theta. Please don't try to run away again. This time I'm not going to let you and I don't think that our Captain here will either."
None of them noticed Martha quietly slipping into the kitchenett with a few medical texts or the fact that the door to said kitchenett melted away a few seconds later. The boys would need their private time after all...
