OTA - Everyone's Personal Prison

[st_everybodylives]

The first few weeks she'd explored the hotel, generally enjoying the absurdity of it all. And the Doctor did not come.

Then she spent a few weeks testing the boundaries of their prison. And the Doctor did not come.

Then for a few weeks she tried boosting the vortex manipulator, and while she almost ripped a hole in space time, she hadn't gotten anywhere. And the Doctor did not come.

She wasn't quite sure if she was disappointed, or annoyed. Which, frankly, was annoying.

She was still trying to figure this out when she found herself enjoying the garden on the first truly warm spring day with a book and a carafe of hot tea, tucked into a nook amongst rose bushes.

River didn't do guilt, or fear. Or most normal emotions.


"Nothing too much worse. The excitement has been a balm for the rest. I think boring might be unlivable."

"You'd be surprised." A sad smile flickered around the corners of her mouth. The few months she'd had with Robin and Roland and Snow in Gotham had been the best of her life, brief as they'd been.

River doubted that but she didn't argue, just tipped her head in acceptance and sipped her tea.
