The next day, the sort-of newly weds went down to the park for lunch. They were met by John Sheppard and Rodney McKay. Irene and Rodney shared grins and hugged. Irene then ruffled John's hair, which caused him to retaliate, which lead to her chasing him around the park. Rodney, Sherlock, Mary, and John W.
"So, how do you know Irene?"
"We went to college together. She was the only person my age."
"And your age was?"
"16."Sherlock and Mary's eyebrows went up, but John nodded.
"What did you get?"
"Two doctorates, Physics and Astrophysics."
"What did she get?"
"Three doctorates, Physics, Astrophysics, and Art History."
"Ah. That makes sense."
John came running back, but tackled by Irene just in front of them. She then, having him pinned down, started ruffling his hair, to his (very loud) displeasure. When she felt sated, she got up and walked over, sitting next to Sherlock. John S. got up and, glaring at her, brushed off the dirt on his jeans.
"And how do you know her?"
"My school was feeling charitable one year, and put on a performance of Othello with hers."
"But since it was a private school, and had some standards, we didn't actually meet until the day of the performance, which was fun for a bunch of 7-10 year olds."
"Who were you two?"
"Emilia and Iago."
Rodney snorted.
"The sad thing is, I can see that." Irene smacked Rodney upside the head, and he squealed.
"He was also around when I got two of my doctorates."
"She was in my Advanced Math and my Engineering classes."
"Wait, what did you get in engineering and Advanced Math."
"A masters. In both."
"You didn't tell them, did you?"
"Well, no."
"Wait, how many doctorates do you have?"
"Six."She looked around."What? The life of crime can get a tad boring after a while, so I had to do something with my excess time."
"Okay, you have-"
"Physics, Astrophysics, Engineering, Advanced Math, Art History, and Archeology."
"Lemme guess-you met Jackson in the Archeology class?"
"Yeah."
"Ah."
"So, why else are you-and them-here?"Irene gestured with her head towards O'Neill, Jackson, Carter, and Teal'c.
"We want to offer you-all of you- a job."
"Where?"
"That's classified."
"But it's really cool. You would like it, though I can't speak for the rest of you. Talk about it. And then when you decide, call ?"
Irene raised a eyebrow.
"Kay. See yah."
They walked away to join the others. The rest turned towards Irene, who was watching them.
"So."
"Well,I think most of you would like it, but Sherlock?"He looked over."You probably won't be able to touch stuff."Sherlock sighed, long-sufferingly.
"Fine."
"Alrighty then. How do the rest of you feel?"
"I'll do it."
"Mary?"
"Sure."
"Sherlock?"
"I said fine, didn't I?"
"Cool."She got up and took a deep breath."SHEPPARD!"
John turned.
"GET YOU'RE NON-EXISTENT ASS BACK HERE! WE'RE IN!"
This is the end of this section of this Sherlock verse,though it will be continuing in the Sherlock/SGA crossover section.
I'll be posting a link if anyone wants to read that.
