You're Both Good Men

Chapter Four: It's Time

AN: So cliff-hanger last chapter and don't worry, the story will make sense later on. And you'll find out who the mystery girl is, if you haven't already figured it out yet ;) xxxxx

"Home time." The Doctor added and ran back to the controls.

"Who was that girl?"

"Doesn't matter, Sherlock."

"Doctor."

"Leave it, Sherlock." The Doctor replied darkly.

For once, Sherlock was terrified, more than he'd ever been in his life.

"Fine."

"I'm taking you home."

"Baker Street?"

"No." The Doctor didn't look at Sherlock but his voice remained dark.

"Why?"

"Because you have to make the decision."

"Right."

x..x

"We're back." The Doctor announced, the two hadn't spoken in over twenty minutes.

Sherlock hadn't dared say anymore to him, he sensed that he was very dangerous.

"Well, thank you." Sherlock replied, heading to the door quickly.

"Don't be stupid." The Doctor warned, fixing Sherlock with a stare which made Sherlock shiver.

"I won't."

Sherlock stepped out of the TARDIS and immediately recognised where he was; Baker Street.

"Doctor."

But the machine was already vanishing silently into the vortex.

"Sherlock?"

Sherlock immediately recognised that voice, "John?"

"Oh my ..." John promptly dropped the bags of shopping and walked over to the younger man.

"John!" Sherlock replied, grabbing John and hugging him tight, John responding in kind.

"You're alive." John stammered , still gripping Sherlock.

"How long has it been?" Sherlock asked, pulling away from John.

"Typical that you wouldn't know. Two years."

"He made a compromise."

"What?"

"I'll explain later. Let's go in, shall we?"

"Yes, of course. Mrs Hudson will be so happy."

"I still can't believe you stayed."

"What?"

"I mean, why did you stay at 221B?"

"I was waiting."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"You're .. What?"

"Yes, I know. Don't get used to it."

"Okay." John replied with a smile.

"Good."

Sorry, I had to have DarkDoctor in it, I just loved him in the Ganger episode :) as usual r&r please xxxxx
