Time to Rise

Two: Warnings

1.

Joan was by her mother's feet as she played with her hair. At twelve Joan was still very small and at the same time very frightened.

"You are doing well in school." Mrs. Watson told her. "First in your class as I can see."

"Harry isn't happy about it." Joan told her mother, Mrs. Watson frown at that. She knew her eldest was not happy in knowing that her youngest was special. She would have to speak with her.

"Don't you worry about Harriet, she has her own doors to open dear."

"Why couldn't she be like me, she said it was my fault I was freaky, am I a freak Mama."

Mrs. Watson frowned and turned her youngest to look at her raising her chin.

"Don't ever call yourself a freak, Joan, people who call others that way are bullies and they have no place for their words." She told her. "You will hear that word plenty of times Joan in your lifetime."

"I'm not a freak, I'm a person." Joan said. " I'm not a mud-blood either, I'm going to punch people Momma, I will be strong and the best."

"You will have to be."

2.

"Why are you telling me this?" Joan asked her Mother. Mrs. Watson looked guilty and Joan smiled.

"You read my mail."

"I just saw, who it was from and I don't trust him Joan."

"You've met the Professor."

"Exactly, you are going to be a Doctor and that world wouldn't permit you to work there because of your blood and he wants you to join their war."

"It is against the person not allowing me to work there." Joan said as she held the letter. Dumbledore asked her to become part of the Order of the Phoenix, she was already on her second tour of Afghanistan. Her Mum had never liked the man, she said that he gave her the jibes.

"Well if you'd have asked before going through my mail, I was going to say I wasn't going to join."

"I want you to be careful, I have a feeling this war will be reaching you as well.

Joan remember her Mothers words, when she saw Lucius Malfoy corner her in Afghanistan.

"You dirty little muggle." He told her.

"You are messing with the wrong person, Malfoy." Joan said taking her wand out and her gun as well.

"Watson, my you are exactly where you belong with the muggles. But I was sent here by my Lord."

"Still playing by someone else's rules Malfoy seems you will always take orders never a man into yourself even marrying into the Black family." That seemed to get his clock going and he sent a curse at her that she blocked and sent one of her own. She didn't expect the insurgents beginning to shoot and causing her to take cover.

"Well isn't that a pity you are about to die." She looked at him and made the floor slippery enough for him to fall. She moved down as she saw the other Death Eater, except he didn't touch her.

"Obliviate." He said but hit Malfoy.

"WATSON!" Murray called through her radio.

"I'm fine, Murray." She said seeing as the Death Eater left with his partner. He had a feeling, he knew who it was.

3.

"Well isn't he handsome." Mrs. Watson said to Sherlock, who for the first few times blushed and seem flustered.

"Momma." Joan said blushing herself.

"Always felt, my little girl would have a handsome young man." Mrs. Watson told him.

"Mrs. Watson I.."

"Call me Mum, dear you two are married."

"How do you know that?" Joan asked, she and Sherlock had not said anything mostly to avoid Moriarty.

"Dear you forget your Grandfather was a military man himself, I can see your dog tags on his neck, and I know your handsome husband is not military." Mrs. Watson said with a bright smile.

"I can't wait for Grandchildren; Violet and I have been talking about it." This caused Sherlock to choke on his tea.

"You've spoken to my Mother." He stated, Joan's mother seems to surprise him at every turn. They had to come to visit her since it was close to Mr. Watsons anniversary but he knew the woman didn't feel it, the man had been a drunk and the closeness she had with his wife told him that both had to protect each other from the other two family members if Harry's attitude of going to the pub when she arrive told him anything.

"Of course, were very proud of our kids." She told him. "I know you can see it, but one of my girls deserved the Happy Ending."

This made Sherlock hold her gaze and he turned away from her first, like if she knew what he was planning with Mycroft. He jumped when she touched his hand

"She is going to be upset, but she will understand once you explain."

"I don't know..."

"Don't lie to me William Sherlock Scott Holmes, you are no fool and I thank you for protecting her, but both of you will always been stronger together." She said with a smile. He saw the older woman walk toward her younger daughter and Sherlock ponder on her words.

4.

The four-woman sat smiling drinking tea.

"I'm just happy they are both back." Mrs. Hudson told the other three.

"Also, a child to look after." Mrs. Holmes said with a smile.

"I told you they would give us Grandchildren soon Violet."

"It just took them a while." Merlyn said.

"Well Harry should be enough for now, when the others come, they will be ready."

"You are so sure, they will have more." Merlyn told her.

"Of course, those two won't stop at one."

"Care to make a little bet." Merlyn said.

"Yes."
