Title: Her Brave New World

Disclaimer: Primeval belongs to Impossible Pictures. Certainly not me. Writing for fun and will replace.

A/N: For the P10 Challenge 154 Past Prompts No 90 Brave New World. Thanks to Fred for looking it over, cheers m'dear.

Christine Johnson smiled contentedly as she oversaw her soldiers take over the ARC with the minimum of fuss.

As she raised her voice to informed her new staff of the change of management, her eyes fell on the proud back of James Lester as he was escorted from the building.

It was just such a pity the man couldn't – wouldn't - bend to her will. James would have been an asset to Christine's brave, new world. One day dear James would rue his missed opportunity to share in her dream instead of being just another casualty of her rise to power.

Oooh chilling. I love Christine when she's being all manipulative and evil.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Christine would think she knows what is best for everyone.

[unseen-quill.livejournal.com]

Scary look at what could have been. I bet Lester wouldn't have been the only casualty after awhile.

Very good. :)

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I imagine the list would have just grown and grown.

*blushes*

[fredbassett]

Scary Christine!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

That she is. *nods*

We don't seem to have much Christine fic -- she and Lester sparking off each other has lots of possibilities!

I love the drabble -- captures her perfectly!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

No, I don't remember seeing that much and they do spark rather nicely.

Thanks, glad I 'got' her.

Love Christine's perspective here. A bit warped, wholly self-centred and utterly fascinating.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I always got the feeling she only thought about what her actions would get her, not how they would effect others.

Ooh, that was creepy!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

That she is. Thanks for reading.

Mmmmmmm.... *satisfied smile*

I love it when the bad guys triumph. And LOVE the reference in the title.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thank you. *eyes bunnies warily*

[canadian-jay.livejournal.com]

*innocent smile* *sneaks carrots to the bunnies*

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

love the icon

Raises eyebrow at innocent smile.

Will see, they are only little bits of fluff at the moment, not even bunlets (if such a thing exists).

[canadian-jay.livejournal.com]

*g* Pretty great, innit?

What? Am I not convincing?

Lol! I think they just might.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

In order: Yes, No and *sighs as they scamper into the warren*

[canadian-jay.livejournal.com]

Lol!

[nietie.livejournal.com]

Yes, I can so imagine Christine thinking like that *shudders*

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

So can I, it would be scary to be set against her. Thanks for reading.

Knowing how it ends for all the power hungry women in Primeval this fic is rather sad. Excellent character study.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

That's true, maybe they need a warning to that effect? Glad you thought it was Christine.

[lsellersfic.livejournal.com]

Lester and Christine definitely had a chemistry on screen that the show never really explored. Nice Drabble.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

I wonder how much was due to being married in RL. Not much surprise TFWIC didn't do anything with it. Thanks for reading.

[cordeliadelayne]

Ooh, scary Christine is scary!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

That she is. Thanks for reading.
