Chapter 1: The Life of A Time Lord
Hi this is my second crossover for Sherlock and Doctor Who. WARNING This will be sad. Thanks to Geekgirl4ever, she helped me pioneer this Fanfic.
I own nothing…. except my OC's
"The life of a Time Lord is long, and depending on where you chose to live it, sad and lonely. For days I wonder 'Why?' Why I still go with the humans. Hiding, it's a drug, you hide from the truth, the future, the obvious. you get addicted to it. But some time being addicted to a thing like that will save a person life, like Donna. Should I be addicted to it, should I hide from the truth and ruin a person's life? Should I be that selfish. Should a person hide from the one in their way, hide to save their lives and risk others. People try and hide from the enemy, never facing them on. But who do you become when you face them. An angel can face a demon and become fallen, become an Archangel trying to fight for what's right. Why do I continue this life-style?" The Doctor was sitting on top of his TARDIS thinking. Clara, she was gone, dead, forever lost. He was sad about this, but because he was companionless he would uncover the biggest secret that had ever unfolded in Europe. The biggest lie ever told.
The Doctor went into his TARDIS and she started going.
Some where on modern-day Earth
John and Sherlock were running, chasing a criminal. This reminded John of Gallifrey, he missed that planet.
He was a Time Lord after all. So was Sherlock, but Sherlock didn't know this. Sherlock and John were friends on Gallifrey, but John went into becoming a soldier and Sherlock went into Legislation. Years later Sherlock and John met up, after John was discharged. He took a TARDIS to England to sight-see. During this Sherlock was being chased by another Time Lord. In the prophecy on Gallifrey it had said the other Time Lord had turned himself human to keep away from Gallifrey's wrath, others say it was to keep that regeneration from committing suicide. No one knows exactly what happened to him. Sherlock jumped through time enough to lose them and changed into a human with the Chameleon Arch, he was changed and dropped on the Holmes' front step. John watched him go into the house from his TARDIS. If he remembered correctly, there was a note onto of the basket, (that he was in while he teleported to the front step of the Holmes' household). The note had one word on it Sherlock. John, after watching this, traveled to the future to modern-day Sherlock, he met him and acted as though they had never met, joined him and just like that they were together again.
An hour later Sherlock and John arrived at 221B Baker Street.
The Doctor landed on the street outside of Sherlock's and Watson's flat. His TARDIS had taken him here for a reason. He grabbed his sonic and psychic paper and shoved it into his pocket.
Upon hearing the TARDIS sound, John quickly came up with an excuse and was able to get Sherlock out the house before the TARDIS' owner could reach the room. John heard a subtle knock on the door.
"Come in," John said. The Time Lord listened to John and entered the flat. On the instant of seeing each other, they could tell that they were both Time Lords.
"Time Lord?" John asked.
"No, I just saw a TARDIS laying around and knew how to operate it. Yes, I am a Time Lord," The Doctor was a little wary of the Time Lord, especially with what had just taken place on Gallifrey. John peaked out the window.
"Broken Chameleon Arch?"
"Yes, it has always been that way. Ever since I landed on Earth for the first time," The Doctor responds.
"Why did you come here?" John asked.
"The TARDIS brought me here."
"Why?"
"Don't know, maybe it was you, maybe it wasn't. You aren't the only Time Lord I sense. I feel a Chameleon Arch watch," Twelve says looking around.
"There's a watch here. But you can't open it. No one can, not until he is caught," John said. Jim Moriarty, this was who John was referring to, but no one knew this. Not even Moriarty, he turned himself human for no apparent reason. Moriarty had regenerated before turning human to stop him from being recognized. It was even said that he had burned his TARDIS as not to be found. But if Sherlock's watch opened, Moriarty's would as well, he had set it to do so.
"Hiding him are we? Who all knows?"
"Mrs. Hudson and I."
"He's gonna find out," The Doctor said.
"Will he now?"
"He's the great Sherlock, of course he will. You know him… more than I do at least."At this comment John raised his eyebrow.
"I believe I knew one of his past regenerations, we met on Gallifrey, a long time ago," The Doctor says, "You can't keep him here forever."
"I can keep him here long enough to know he's safe, then I can take him back to Gallifrey," John said.
"You can't go home."
"What do you mean 'can't'?"
"There was a Time War. A war between us and the Daleks. I used the Moment to kill the Daleks and with them the Time Lords." The Doctor knew what's coming. He didn't want John to know that he had brought it back, he would go looking for it. John's mouth dropped. He looked surprised.
"You coward!" John yelled.
"Yes, I know," The Doctor said.
"You killed my family! Sherlock's family. They're gone, all gone-" John was going to continue but the door opened and Sherlock walked in.
"Uh, I just walked in on a row?" Sherlock asked looking to John.
"I suppose you have," John said still heated up. Sherlock looked between the two and left. Once the Doctor heard the door shut downstairs he said;
"I had to, other wise they would've destroyed the entire universe and every other universe that lived."
"You're the Doctor aren't you? That madman Time Lord? The thief. The coward. The only one who would use the Moment," John said accusingly.
"I would chose coward over killer any day," The Doctor told him.
"So then, which one did you chose when you set off the Moment? Is there a third option? How about hero? Add that to the mix, Coward, Killer or Hero?"
"All of them on that day. Cowardly for running, Killer for using the Moment, Hero from stopping the Dalek race kill the entire universe."
"But you only feel two of them, hows that?"
"I killed the Time Lords, destroyed my home planet, I watched it all burn. Do you think you could still feel like a hero after that, even if you are one?"
"No," John said. They sat in a moment of silence, sadness drizzled over everything.
"Wake him," The Doctor said.
"I can't. He would too."
"You can't hide him from the past!"
"Get out!" John said, angrily. The Doctor started to open his mouth but changed his mind and left.
—
"Who was that?" Sherlock asked when he got home later in the night.
"A friend," John lied.
"For a friend you seemed to be really angry," Sherlock said.
"We had a disagreement." Sherlock got up and walked towards the mantle, he rested his hand on the face of the clock that rested there. He groans right away and draws his hands to his head. An old memory started playing in Sherlock's head:
"'The president would like a word with you,' A man in a red bulky out fit had said. He seemed to know where to go, as he went down a hallway, then into a door. He bowed,
'President.'
'Sit down.' Sherlock did as he was told.
'What is it president?'
'I need you to judge a trial.'
'What is the trail about?' Sherlock asked.
'A man who was supposedly feeding information to the Daleks,'"
"Daleks?" Sherlock said once he stopped day dreaming. John was helping Sherlock to the couch, worried that Sherlock would faint again, when he said 'Daleks?'. John almost dropped Sherlock, but quickly covered up his surprise.
"Daleks? What's a Daleks?" John asked.
There you go. I got teary writing this… Hope you like it. I will update every Wednesday OR Thursday, or both (If it isn't a busy week). Hope you liked it. Will get very sad…. If you have an idea for the plot or you have an idea for a voice-over, leave a review or PM. (The voice-over for this chapter was the Doctor talking about hiding. At the beginning a character will do a voice-over that is important to the plot or foreshadowing.)
