Doctor X Reader - Death of a Badass

You'd been traveling with the Doctor, now, for months. You loved every second of it - even though you sometimes couldn't save everyone.

You and the Doctor had grown incredibly close, usually able even to sense when the other was in danger. It was a beautiful connection you felt with him. You felt like you could spend forever traveling space and time with the Time Lord.
But, unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. It was - in fact - your connection with the Doctor that finished everything.

You were on one of your rare days away from traveling. You were in the kitchen, cooking and dancing along to your favourite song.
Suddenly, you felt a crippling pain in your right temple. You put your hand to it. Blood. It was sticky with blood. But it wasn't yours. In an instant, you knew where he was.
You turned off the oven and your stereo. You grabbed your bag and your jacket off the coat-stand and left the house. You ran to where you somehow knew where the TARDIS was, pulling out your key as you reached it.
There she stood, in all her splendour, which worried you. 'If the Doctor was in trouble...' You finished that thought there, not wanting to think about what could be happening to the Doctor.
You entered the TARDIS, shutting the door behind you. "Come on," you whispered to the sentient spaceship, "take me where I need to go. Please." You didn't seem to notice the almost invisible differences between the real TARDIS and the one you were in.
You were thankful as the TARDIS started moving somewhere. Once you landed, you thanked the sentient machine and left. You didn't see what the time vortex had done to the outside of the supposed TARDIS.
On the surface of this new planet, it was almost barren. It looked like an earthen desert, but the dirt was grey, not... dirt coloured. Some blue tumbleweed rolled past you as you made your way towards the only stable structure for miles. It didn't take you as long to get there as you had expected. Though, you still had enough time to roughly plan what you would do once you were inside, so that you could free the Doctor.
When you reached the entrance to the building, however, you still had no clue how you were going to actually get in.
Giving the 'just wing it' lifestyle a chance, you kicked down the door ~ ooh, you badass! ~ and gained entrance to the building. As soon as you entered, an alarm exploded into life in your ear. Getting the feeling that you would be caught if you stayed, you ran down the corridor that had been behind the door. This took you towards the heart of the building, which is where you assumed that they were keeping the Doctor.
As you entered each new section of the building, another alarm blared. Until, suddenly, they stopped. Every last alarm. All at the same time. That's when you started to doubt your reason for being there in the first place.
You turned back to face the way you had come, only to find that the emergency, quadruple-locked, airlock-style doors had been dropping into place silently behind you. You turned to face the way you were going once more.
This time, however, there was an old foe of yours and the Doctor's ahead of you. A Cyberman. You couldn't believe it. The Cybermen, again! You'd already defeated them six times since you'd started traveling with the Doctor.
"Where is he?" you demanded of the metal menace. "What have you done with him?" You put all of your rage of him being missing and you missing your day off into your words and your tone.
"Follow me," it told you. You felt positive that, if it had emotions and the capacity to display them, the Cyberman ahead of you would have been laughing.
It turned and started to walk in the direction that you had been heading in. Sighing, you followed it, figuring it to be your best course of action.
After you had been following the metal monster for a few minutes, your phone, which the Doctor had tweaked, buzzed with a text.
'I know it's your day off and all,' it read, 'but what do you think about a quick trip to the Medusa Cascades, again? Doc xxx'
That was when you realised what trouble you were in. You quickly sent the Doctor a message, outlining your problem. Then, you spoke to the metal being. "How long did it take you lot to come up with that elaborate ruse?" you asked, giving away your knowledge of what was happening.
The Cyberman stopped walking and turned to face you. Hand outstretched, it started to walk towards you. You backed away, knowing that, if you had the right scraps of stuff, you could make yourself a temporary escape route.
You backed up against something. As you turned to see what it was, you were knocked unconscious.

The next time you awoke, you were in a small, cramped cell, shackled to the wall furthest from the door. A Cyberman stood outside the door, guarding you. You closed your eyes, accepting, for the moment, that you were trapped. Then, you were asleep once more.

When you next awoke, you were lucky enough to not be guarded. But, the alarms were also blaring. Not yet awake enough to work out why the alarms would be going off, you stood up so quickly that you pulled the shackles off the wall. ~ even more badass skills! ~ Then, you kicked the door open and started running.
When you were far enough away from the cells, you twisted the shackles so that they were in front of you. Then, you looked for something you could use to get the shackles off.
Before you could find anything to do that, you saw the Doctor in his (f/d) glory. ~ (f/d) means favourite doctor ~
"Doctor!" you quietly called to him. He turned and saw you. Checking for any Cybermen, you hurried towards him, making sure to stop your shackles from rattling. When you reached him, he used his sonic screwdriver to unlock the shackles. You placed them on the floor, causing them to make as little a clang as possible. Then, he pulled you into a hug, scolding you for coming. He asked why you had even thought to come here in the first place.
You explained about how you had felt your connection with him explode, as if he was in danger. You told him everything, up to and including realising that it was a trap.
You gasped. "Doctor, you shouldn't have come! It's you they were after! I was the bait! Go, now!" You panicked as you heard footsteps approach. Automatically, you put yourself between the Doctor and the being that was approaching.
It rounded the corner. It was a Cyberman. It was not happy to see you out of your cell. It lifted it's blaster and, a split second after, fired it. Before the Doctor had a chance to react, the blast hit you. As you fell, you grabbed the sonic screwdriver and directed it at the metal menace. You killed it. But not before it's blast had taken its toll.
You were lying on the ground, the Doctor crouching down to hold you. You looked down at where the blast had hit you. You were crimson and you could see your organs and the bottom of your ribcage.
You were dizzy. The Doctor lay you back in his arms. You laughed as you realised something. Your body shook and your pain grew immensely.
"Doctor," you whispered.
"Ssshhh, don't speak if it hurts."
"Despite the blast, I feel complete." You looked up into his eyes. "You make me hole, Doctor." You giggled again. The pain intensified immensely.
The Doctor allowed a single tear to be released from his eye.
"It's okay," you told him. "My time is over. Just promise me a couple of things, yeah?"
"I promise, (y/n). Anything."
"Don't try to bring me back. Please. And, don't be alone. I would rather see you die than think that you had traveled completely alone because I had saved your life." You smiled because you knew he wanted to say that he wouldn't promise to those things. You smiled because you knew that he couldn't say that due to already having promised them.
You looked into his eyes one last time as you felt your end upon you. "Just don't look back in anger," you told him, with your last breath. You died with a smile upon your face, because you had used your last breath to reference the song you had been listening to when you met him.
Then, you were gone.

A/N ~ Sorry for the depressing - ish - one.
I'm not really sorry. I did ask for your opinions on how to write this.
Thanks go to Mernyer for giving me the basic idea for this one! And thanks to any other suggestions that may or may not have been given since I wrote this... I'll see if I can use them for something!
