Delirious: oooh cool!

Anti: - overheard the conversation and smiles while he walks away-

Jonathan Dennis’ The Killing of a Flash Boy is such an absolute surprise of a gem from 2001′s Missing Pieces. Not only does it have some superb characterization for the Eighth Doctor and Fitz (similar to his Perfect Timing 2 contribution This Hollywood Life), it has some of the best criticism of UNIT, reminding us that it is a government organization and capable of great cruelty. 

And then there’s a Daniel Joyce cameo (and Larna mention) that, while in a super small way, adds a lot to this forgotten character’s intricacy. Which has just left me grinning, lemme tell you.

“What are you doing?” Ella asked.

“I am weary, Ella,” I said. “I have fought and killed what remained of my mentor. I have been questioned. I must rest, as should you.”

“You could at least take the mask off,” she muttered as she walked further into the apartment. I heard her footsteps as she went from room to room, no doubt pondering what I had told her.

“This won’t do at all,” she called out. She walked back to my side, lifted off my mask and kissed me. “I love you, dear, but I have to live here too you know. I'm sure this is fine for a priest who is never at home, but –”

She paused before listing twenty or so decorations or pieces of furniture that had to go as soon as possible and how what remained had to be rearranged and what needed to be brought in. She was perfect. The list was long enough that no one would think it deliberate that it included the four devices that had been planted in my rooms to spy on me. I had detected them almost immediately, but as long as I had lived alone there had been no need for their removal.

This scene remains more-or-less intact in Chapter 29.
