A reflection

6 o clock - 221B

"See ya Sherlock"

Molly shouted up the stairs to a probably still asleep man. He NEVER was awake before 9. She opened the door and got into the car that was waiting to pick her up to take her to mycroft. This was one of the perks of working for him. No taxi fees. However when she got into the car , it wasn't anthea but Mycroft himself sitting there.

"Mycroft , er , hello"

"Miss Hooper sit down"

Mycroft was reading the paper and it was a while before he put it down and started talking to Molly.

"I trust Sherlock saw John last night?"

"Yes Mycroft he did". Molly pause for thought. "and it nearly killed him"

Mycroft sighed and began to lurch in to a lecture.

"Miss Hooper, we have been over this, Sherlock.."

"He is NOT ready Mycroft , why does it have to be now, can't it wait a few more weeks , drop a few more clues in , let him figure it out" Molly pleaded with Mycroft.

"And its Dr Hooper , or Molly but NOT miss".

Mycroft glared at Molly. How dare she talk to him like this.

"Fine.... Molly. But my mind is made up. John and Sherlock need to be reunited. Theres a terrorist threat , only Sherlock can solve it but he needs John. If Johns not there, Sherlock will quite happily blow up parliment, he thinks they are all idiots there"

Molly smirked. " well....he does have a point"

"Dr Hooper" Mycroft practically growled whilst his grip on his umbrella tightened. " It is final , John shall be reunited with Sherlock tonight"

Molly sighed. Even though she was one of the few people in England who would stand up to Mycroft, she knew when to draw the line.

A few minutes passed in silence while the car wove around the streets of london.

" Fine if they need to be re-united then let me be with Sherlock today"

Mycroft sighed. Deep down he knew she was right....

" Fine ..Mo..Dr Hooper, but what are you going to do today?"

Molly gulped. " I was going to take him to see Johns grave...."

Mycroft sighed. " Molly don't do that, I may not have much concern for him but anywhere but there. It will break him if he is mourns only to see his friend alive, we need to avoid danger nights at any cost"

" I agree Mycroft, I can't put Sherlock through another danger night. We nearly lost him last time"

It was true , last time Sherlock had convinced himself that John was leaving him secret messages in the newspaper and it had got to the point where John had told him to " jump into the thames off of Tower Bridge", if Molly hadnt have been tiding up , she never would have seen his note and she wouldn't have her Sherlock. Her sherlock?

" Molly do you know the plan for today"

Molly nodded. She was to take Sherlock to Barts to have a bit of a reminisce but take him round where John had died as Mycroft was going to seal all other roots off. John would be standing on top of Barts and as Sherlock would look up he would see him and go to the top of Barts to see him with Molly chasing after him.

" Mycroft , do you really think its a wise idea to have them meet there , can't John meet him you know..at least on the floor"

Mycroft was silent for a couple of minutes. " I can see your point Miss Hooper .. Molly.. But there is only one other option"

" and what is that Mycroft?"

Mycroft gripped his umbrella. " John will come to 221B"

Both scenarios seemed bad to Molly. He would either chuck John off the building or destroy his home and possibly everyone he loves around him. But the answer was obvious.

" Fine Mycroft , send John to 221B around 6ish. Mrs H is out and it will mean Sherlock will be the first to cope with John"

" Fine Dr Hooper , I shall let John know"

Mycroft reached his hand out to his phone but swiftly passed over it to a small remote. He pressed the button and the wall between Mycroft and the driver slid open to reveal one more seat on which sat John Watson.

" HE WAS HERE , WHY THE HELL MYCROFT , YOU AND YOUR BLOODY MIND GAMES !" Molly screamed at Holmes the elder.

John looked panicked whilst Mycroft sat and read his paper as if nothing was going on. 

" Molly Molly listen please !" 

" NO JOHN , YOU BLOODY LIAR YOU SNEAK" 

Molly was practically crying now. Every moment she had been there to protect Sherlock and Mycroft particularly brung John to 221B just hours before he was to be re-united with Sherlock.

" Molly I was hidden"

" It doesn't matter John , What if Sherlock insisted on coming , What if he had picked up that remote and found you, You don't understand John and you Mycroft , what the hell are you playing at ?!"

Mycroft sighed and put down his paper. " Dr Hooper , this is exactly the reason I wanted John here, I knew you had anger hepped up inside you and so it needed to come out before the time came."

Molly laughed and sat back. " What do you think I am Mycroft , a puppy that needs a walk?! And you wonder why Sherlock hates all you politicians"

Mycroft sighed. " Molly please understand I needed John here so there would be no mistake in the relay of information , this needs to run smoothly"

Molly still bubbling with anger sat back in her seat. How dare he...

" Molly what time do I need to be back at 221B ?" John pleaded.

Molly scowled at Mycroft. " Round 6ish as you heard, Mrs H is out and I can only cope with one screaming person at a time"

John chuckled but stopped as Molly threw him a death look. It then hit John just why Molly was so angry.

She had been the one looking after him. She had left her job to look after Sherlock and although they were becoming closer , he knew she knew that her and Sherlock would never happen. He was too ...well Sherlock. To have sacrificed soo much and to be played around like this was not fair.

" Molly , I just want to say thank you, thank you for giving everything up for me. I promise I will not let my return ruin what you have built up with Sherlock, I can not repay the debt I owe you , please forgive me for my stupidity."

John watched for any sign of Molly taking in what he had just said. He didnt expect for her to leap up and hug the doctor round the neck.

" Thank you John, sorry im just so emotional at the moment , its going to break Sherlock and Im not sure I will be able to watch it. Its just good to have you back"

Mycroft coughed and signalled to the driver to pull up outside 221B as John re concealed himself.

" Ill send him at 6 Molly"

Molly gulped as she opened the car door.

" Wish me luck"
