sherlock s3 spoilers likely in the comments

I don't know what you think you're going to achieve by bringing here. In fact, I don't think you even know why you're bringing me here to begin with...but yes, here I am. Don't you think I've been through enough already without being dragged into anything else?

....

And if I'm going to be around for a while you're at least going to have to give me more than one icon.

I find it hard to believe you, wouldn't want attention.

[Also cue awkwardness, since he hasn't seen her since she walked out of his hospital room and well, she did give him some things to think about.]

[Oh, look who it is. Her favorite person who manipulated her and broke her heart just to get what he wanted out of her. Yes, just the person she wanted to see. She'll fold her arms across her chest at his comment, raising a brow.]

It's good to see you're as charming as ever, Sherlock.

[Did she miss the part of the speech where he admitted to being an arsehole? Oh, right, she thought she was special. Well, as he said "human error." He raises an eyebrow.]

Sherlock? Not Sherl? Getting rid of the bees more difficult than you thought it would be?

[Sorry, he couldn't resist the dig, he likes bees.]

Do you want me to call you, Sherl?

[She's heard about Molly slapping Sherlock and right now she feels like doing exactly the same thing. It's a good job she has a little more self control than that.

She'll sigh a little then moving her hands to her sides]

Look, I am getting over it. You know how I feel we had this discussion when you were in the hospital. Good to see you're out and about again.

[Sherlock's lips twitch, how does he explain it? Right, he doesn't.]

Janine... If you knew what kind of man I am, why are you surprised?

[And how does she answer that question? Honestly, she doesn't know how to answer it because she has no idea why she thought Sherlock would actually be interested in her and want to marry her. Not when she knew what he was like.]

Because I'm an idiot? A lot more gullible than I thought I was?

[Sherlock chuckles softly at that.]

Not everything I said was a lie Janine. You're not an idiot. A... little slow, perhaps, but you challenged my acting abilities - I could fool any idiot with no effort.

[He smiles, he thinks this is actually a compliment.]

No? Tell me Sherlock, what was the truth?

Well, as long as I'm not an idiot everything's good then, isn't it?

[There might have been a slight hint of sarcasm in her tone there but she's sure he won't pick up on it.]

[Sherlock doesn't get sarcasm - sometimes even when it's blatant. Not that it matters, because he's too caught up with the first question.]

You already figured it out.... or did someone tell you?

I think I was capable of figuring it out for myself. I didn't need to be told. I only asked because I wouldn't mind hearing you admitting to it yourself.

[Maybe that's a little too much to ask]

[He runs his hands through his hair. Why does everyone want him to apologise. He doesn't do that. He sighs.]

I used you to get to Magnussen. I proposed to gain access to his office.

[He pauses.]

Of course those things are true, but what do you want me to admit to?

Yes, those things are true.

[Oh I don't know...maybe if he stopped doing things to people he wouldn't have to keep apologising. She nods her head at his words. Ah yes, she thought it would feel a little better to hear him say that but no.]

How about the fact that you didn't even want to be friends with me, Sherlock? That you didn't even enjoy a second of our time together. You know you're a much better actor than people give you credit for.

[Oh, that. His tone isn't defensive, it's almost defeated.]

You didn't really listen to my speech, did you? I thought I made it very clear that I don't expect to be anyone's friends. Why would you want to be friends with me?

[Yes. That.]

Oh trust me, we all listened to your speech. And look, I don't tend to spend time with people I don't like or I don't want to be friends with never mind be in a relationship with them. [No matter how fake that turned out to be] It would just be a waste of my time.

So, like I said at the hospital. I know what kind of man you are Sherlock and we could have been friends if you had just told me what was going on. It's not like I was Magnussen's biggest fan.

[Getting flicked in the face and the eye numerous times among other things isn't her idea of fun]

If you listened to it, then you know that I don't expect to be anyone's friend. It took John years to make me understand that we were friends. And even then, I couldn't believe I was his best friend.

[His expression turns genuine at her last statement.]

I... didn't know if I could trust you. Guilt by association.

[He didn't really know until Magnussen said what he had done to Janine.]

I'm sure it's hard to think of yourself as someone's friend but...I think that's something you have to get over. You have friends. People who would do anything to help you and people who would be sad if anything happened to you.

[She shrugs her shoulders a little but then nods at his next words.]

He wasn't the most trustworthy of people was he? I suppose it makes sense you would be suspicious of me too.

...But all of that is over now.

One day, when you're done with your revenge, perhaps we could try again...

[That's a pretty relative thing, considering. He really didn't mind being in her company at the wedding and reception. Other than all the touching and later cuddling - he pulls a face at that thought, then shakes it away again - yeah, that'll have to stop.]

[She pauses a moment before answering]

Never say never. As for my revenge, it was over quite some time ago.

[Ah yes, the touching and cuddling. Trust her she has no desire or intention to do either with Sherlock Holmes anymore. So he has nothing to worry about there.]

Ah. Well. That's.... good.

[Just the occasional kiss on the forehead? He might be accepting of that. And maybe a hug or two... someday. No, he doesn't quite believe her.]

Really? What got you over it?

[Well Sherlock saying they could try again some day means something even if he doesn't really mean it.]

Despite what you might think Sherlock I'm not going to spend the rest of my life hating you. Besides...getting shot was enough and you freed me from Magnussen.

So the ruining my reputation was what? Just an added bonus.

Your reputation is far from ruined Sherlock. I think you might have done that yourself by killing someone and almost getting send out of the country for good.

As someone nearly as wise as myself said, "People like Magnussen should be killed." And don't pretend you didn't benefit from his death.

Oh I'm not blaming you for shooting Magnussen at all. Did I say that? I'm just saying that no one made you do it and if everyone knew it wouldn't exactly be good for your reputation...but you're right, it was a good thing for me. So, thank you.

Everyone already knows. Not like my brother can save me from it. Too many members of the elite team saw what happened....

[There's the faintest smile.]

But you're welcome.

[He honestly doesn't hear 'thank you' as often as people think.]

Oh I don't know. Perhaps you'll find some more tabloid stories to sell whilst you're here.

Maybe I will.

[Oh look, it's the other brother! Lucky her. She raises a brow a little then keeping her eyes on him. She knows that they're brothers but...]

You can't tell me you think what Sherlock did was the right thing to do, can you?

[Lucky you!]

I tend to disapprove of anything my brother does in principal, so there's no point in demanding an answer to that question.

Brotherly love at its finest.

The point is I sold those stories to the paper because I was angry. Mostly at myself for being so gullible. But it's done now and there's nothing I can do to change it. What is it they say "no press is bad press"?

Edited 2014-02-01 16:19 (UTC)

Of course.

And naturally. You've probably boosted his "blog count" by a whole ten people. No harm done, though.

You think only ten people are interested in reading about Sherlock Holmes? Your brother is a popular man, Mike.

[Because she still refuses to believe that people actually call him Mycroft]

But you're right...no harm done. Does that mean we can drop it?

There are only ten people. Everyone else reads John's blog.

[Can you not? God, that name.]

I could. Though if you insist on calling me "Mike", I may have to start filing libel cases against you on Sherlock's behalf.

Well John's blog is a little more exciting than Sherlock's

[Is it too 'ordinary' for Mycroft? Still, she'll play it his way if that's what he wants. There's no use in arguing with him over it]

You really hate it that much? Wow, alright Mycroft it is...even though it feels weird saying it

It appeals to the masses, at least.

[Of course the name "Mike" is too normal. That makes him sound like everyone else.]

Mycroft is what's on my birth certificate. There's no point in using anything else. Or should I start calling you "Jan"?

Yes it does. He has a talent for telling a story that's for sure.

[She laughs at the name suggestion, joking with him...which isn't going to go down well but that's not going to stop her.]

Jan? I don't know I think that has a nice ring to it. Besides I doubt I'll be using your name very often now so it doesn't matter very much, does it? I'll be sure to remember to use Mycroft though.
