The Making of a Machine

by wholocked12

When Sherlock was 16 years old he was introduced to his cousin Alexis, or as she preferred to be called, Alex Holmes. She is opposite of Sherlock in many ways, but she is also basically his twin. Alex is also the person that changed Sherlock into the machine he is today. The question is… how?

1. Prologue: Being a Machine

Hi everyone! So this is my second story! Basically, for those of you who need a recap, this story is about how Sherlock came to be who he is today and how it all started with his cousin Alexis, or as she prefers to be called, Alex Holmes. She is just as open minded as her cousin, if not more so. So enjoy!

Disclaimer: I own nothing but Alexis Homes. The rest belongs to the great Moffat and Gatiss duo!

John and Sherlock were in the middle of a fight over why Sherlock had to keep his experiments in the kitchen and throughout the house when John exploded, yelling, "Have you always been such a heartless person?!" Sherlock gave John an icy glare and stood to retreat to his room. He sat down and for once wished he would've said 'No', but no brought back raw memories that he shut out of his life. Sherlock Holmes was not a machine, he had a heart that people used to be able to see, but now it was too painful all for one reason. His cousin Alex Holmes.
