"Run into a pack of flying ninjas again, Sherlock? Did John have to rescue you? Poor thing," Anderson sneered.
"It involved a mango, three nuns, an iced lolly stand, and a matter of national security. You don't have the clearance, and even if you did, you still wouldn't understand," Sherlock sneered, glowering down his nose.
"Seriously?" Lestrade quirked an eyebrow dubiously. It was equally likely that Sherlock was telling the 100% literal truth or was feeding them a load of utter rubbish.
"Sherlock started it," John said, peering through his shiner.
"John, don't misrepresent the facts! The drug dealer obviously started it, I just happened to finish it. It wasn't my fault that it turned into a bar fight either," he said rebelliously, lisping slightly because of his swollen lip.
"Bloody hell, Sherlock, you can't…" Lestrade began to admonish.
"Drug dealer? I though you said they were nuns?" Donovan crossed her arms, not believing a word. Why Lestrade put up with this childishness was beyond her.
"And a nun can't be a drug dealer? How very stereotypical of you," Sherlock retorted, briefly glancing at John's reaction to gauge if his retort was too harsh.
"So you got beat up by a bunch of lolly-wielding convent girls?"
Both John and Sherlock just stared at her in shock before dissolving into sputters. Lestrade leaned his chair back as far as it would go, laughing uncontrollably at both her comment and the looks on their faces.
Sometimes, he loved his division.

A/N: First off, Lestrade never gets enough love. And thank you to Lady Juse for suggesting the mangos and nuns!
Second, THANK YOU star-eye for reading and editing and encouraging me and all the other wonderful things you do.
Third, THANK YOU englishtutor, prothoe, mervoparkite, ballykissangel, shansen, vesperL2, Ralina, Lady Juse, WL Chastain, EJBRUSH1952, and all the rest of my regular commentators. I cannot thank you enough for all the wonderful things you wrote, and I cannot express how wonderful it feels every time I see your profile pics in my inbox or on the reviews page.
Fourth, THANK YOU to all the rest of the lovely folks that favorited and followed and patiently waited for me through the angst and cliffhangers to finish this saga that was *supposed* to be two or three chapters long.
Fifth and finally, I'll be posting a new story soon. So keep an eye out! :)
