Work Text:
Kate should have toed the line more over the years. She would have been seen as less of a threat that way. But there was right and wrong, she always wanted to be on the side of right. So desperate to make Daddy proud even though he was long gone. Eager for drops of praise from the Doctor every time they turned up.
She should have left her daughter in Dubai. But she dragged her back to the UK where she thought she could keep her safe. Kate never should have let her borrow her personal car. Should have used UNIT funds for taxis and personal drivers.
That bomb had been meant for her. It should be her dead, not her child. Inside she was dead. Kate had thought killing those responsible would make her feel better, but as she stood there, blood drying on her hands she felt empty inside.
Christofer kept staring at her, half horror, half deeply in love, over what she had done. Kate had crossed every line. He'd cover it up, she knew it already. Once she would have felt guilty about it. She wanted to feel it now for dragging him into this mess.
