[[Vastra]], along with fellow [[Silurian]]s, had awoken during the construction of part of the [[London Underground]] and had wanted to take revenge on innocent tunnel workers for the deaths of her "sisters". After Vastra had slaughtered at least five commuters, [[the Doctor]] convinced her not to give in to rage. At some point, she hired [[Jenny Flint]] as her maid. Vastra's relationship with Jenny eventually became romantic. ([[TV]]: ''[[A Good Man Goes to War (TV story)|A Good Man Goes to War]], [[The Snowmen]]'') | |||
Vastra and Jenny were part of the Doctor's army which he summoned from across [[time]] and [[space]] to aid him in the [[Battle of Demon's Run]]. Also among the Doctor's allies was [[Commander]] [[Strax]], a [[Sontaran]] [[nurse]] who, like Vastra, owed the Doctor a debt. He was killed in the battle with the [[Headless Monks]]. After the battle, the Doctor departed in [[The Doctor's TARDIS|his TARDIS]], leaving [[River Song]] to take Vastra and Jenny home.

However, two days after the battle, Vastra and Jenny returned to the [[Demons Run]] [[asteroid]] to retrive Strax. They woke Strax up, informing him that he had not died since they had used [[resurrection device|alien technology]] to heal his wounds. Jenny said that he had never truly passed away thanks to the resurrection technology and he had been in a state of unconsciousness for two days while the resurrection device healed him. Strax was angry that his glorious death in battle was robbed from him. Vastra and Jenny announced that the station was being evacuated, and offered to take Strax with them back to London. Strax was hesitant and at first rudely refused but then changed his mind and agreed to accompany them. Joining them in Victorian London, sometime before [[1893]], Strax became Vastra's [[butler]]. The Paternoster Gang was formed soon after.
