BBC Watson x Reader Chpt. 12- The Gang

John followed Sherlock through the familiar police station, nodding politely to those he knew. It wasn’t until they were in Lestrade’s office that he realized you weren’t behind him and Sherlock was already discussing things with Lestrade.

He went to interrupt when you bounded in, “Sherly did you know this place has the neatest shooting range and- Oh sorry…”

Noticing Lestrade you came to a screeching halt both in speech and in movement and John let out a sigh of relief, to which Sherlock rolled his eyes, “No need to worry John. (F/n) is more than capable of finding us after she wanders off.”

You gave him a reassuring smile, “I didn’t mean to worry you John. I’ll say something next time.”

Lestrade cleared his throat, “As touching as this is, would you mind explaining how and when you acquired a third?”

You spun happily to look the older man over, “I like you. Lestrade right?”

“(F/n).” Sherlock said warningly and you turned to pout at him, “What?”

He shook his head, unable to stay cross when you gave him that look, and smiled slightly, “Simmer please. I know you’ve been cooped up for a week but we have work to do.”  

You sighed, “Right. Of course.” Then looked back at Lestrade, sticking out a hand, “Please excuse my previous behavior, it’s been a dull week. I’m (F/n).”

He shook your hand and began to ask why you were here when Donovan popped her head through the door, “Could I get those- Oh. Freak.” She spotted you, “Who’s the girl? Another misguided follower of yours? I would say girlfriend but I doubt-“

You abruptly interrupted, frowning, “Just because you don’t understand him does not give you the right to be rude. As for Sherlock’s ability to love I assure you he is quite capable, much more so than that man you went out for drinks with last night who left before you woke- taking your favorite necklace with him. I suggest you hold your tongue in the future for I am a firm believer in what you give you receive.”

Sherlock gave you a startled look, unlike him you hardly ever voiced any of your deductions, reasoning that just because you know does not give you the right to share, “Key…”

You gave him a concerned glance, you knew your brother may not show it but comments like that bothered him, and Donovan snickered, “Looks like you’ve found someone just as deluded as you Sherlock, you two sure make quite a pair. Though she’s probably broken inside if she’s crazy enough to be with you”

John frowned at her and anger flashed in Sherlock’s eyes as he shoved you protectively behind him, “You really are an idiot. If you paid any mind you would have known that she is my younger sister. You will cease any further mention of her sanity and continue with your mediocre life elsewhere.”

“Touchy are we Holmes? Can’t say I’m thrilled to have a female version of you out-“

“Donovan, I suggest you do as he asked. That’s an order.” Lestrade barked, noticing that Sherlock had balled his hands into fists.

She rolled her eyes and left as you tugged at his sleeve, “Lock?”

You continued when he looked at you,“ Simmer. We have work to do remember?”

His face went blank again as he gave you a small nod.

“Since when do you have a sister Sherlock?”

“Since she was born. Obviously.” Sherlock said sarcastically.

You shot him a disapproving glance for being difficult as John rolled his eyes and then you smiled at Lestrade, “Sorry about him. I’ve been out of country for a few years and he doesn’t like to think about it. Since you didn’t ask he decided to keep my existence to himself to avoid it.”

Sherlock opened his mouth to add something that would no doubt complicate the situation but John elbowed him in the ribs and Lestrade responded, “So Miss (F/n) Holmes- you are a Holmes right?- Shall I assume you will be helping your brother on this case?”

“I am indeed a Holmes, though you already knew that as you noticed I don’t wear a wedding ring when I first came in. My full name is Kheiland (F/n) Holmes but (F/n) will do nicely and yes I will be tagging along for this case though he has no true need of my help.”

Lestrade nodded, deciding that he liked you since for the time being you seemed much easier to deal with than your brother, and the four of you began to discuss the details of the case.
