Sherlock couldn't help but stare. He knew had little time to be dawdling, especially with the security camera down the hall due to come back online in only a matter of minutes. But…
The creature leaning against the side of the glass walled containment unit took no notice of his staring, its blank blue eyes staring into the empty space in front of it. No…Not it. Him. He. His.
He was staring into the middle distance, a thin rivulet of blood dried to the side of his face, obviously from a previously incurred blow to the side of his head. Trauma didn't look too bad there. Perhaps he was dazed? More likely. Though, with creatures like this, who didn't need to breath, it was so hard to tell.
You have three minutes until you are on your own.
-MH
Sherlock glanced down at his phone, sighing quietly, before bringing his gaze back up to the magnificent creature before him. Who was now staring intently straight at him.
"Do you want out of here?" Sherlock asked, stepping closer to the glass, looking over the thick iron collar wrapped around the poor beasts throat, obviously itchy and irritating, if the dark red lines bordering it on the others skin was anything to go by.
The man in the containment unit nodded quickly, flexing his large golden wings minutely behind him, looking eager at the proposition.
Sherlock took a single step back, taking a quick glance around, before yanking a fire extinguisher off the wall, and giving the unit a few sure hits, leaving a thick crack in the glass. He scowled and dropped the extinguisher in disappointment, before the other simply slammed his shoulder into the glass, and fell through into a heap on the floor. Just in time for the security system to come back online.
"Well," Sherlock huffed, before taking off, the winged man hot on his heels, "you certainly make a good impression."
The winged man grinned, catching up to Sherlock's side, his wings folded tight against his back as they ran through the halls. "The name's John," he said, easily without lack of breath.
"Sherlock," was his only reply as they burst out onto the grounds of the holding facility.
