Mycroft stayed with Elina until she was ready to fall asleep

Mycroft stayed with Elina until she was ready to fall asleep. She fell asleep with the fan and tv on. An hour previous, Mycroft gave into her silent pleas and untied his tie in order for her to idly play with. He felt privileged to know Elina in a way no one else had before.

He drove to Primrose Hill and was starkly surprised to see Sherlock standing in the middle of his living room. "Sherlock, what are you doing here?"

"Isn't it obvious?" He retaliated with his Belastaff thrown over the settee and hand in his hips. "Knowing Elina, she wouldn't want to spend a further hour at the hospital and knowing you, if she didn't agree to stay there, you would want her here after arrangements have been made."

Seemly in a gazing battle, Mycroft backed down intellectually knowing that Elina needed all the support she needed. "A few agents will arrive soon to convert the back living room into a bedroom for Elina and sir Edwin will be along to show us the file uncle Rudy had on her."

"Interesting, isn't it?" Sherlock moved in to state. "That our uncle has a file on her. Indeed it is." Mycroft agreed solemnly on. Sherlock she'd a light smile. "Must of cared deeply for her. She obviously caught his eye insight of her intelligence. Not too far a stretch from you, I suppose." Sherlock allowed that to settle whilst he casted his gaze to the vase which was naturally a family heirloom. "Mary's been able to pack a few of Elina's things and she's dropping them off early tomorrow." He moved onto say.

As Jasper and a few other agents got to work transforming the back living room, a hardly used room, into a bedroom; sir Edwin walked through to the dining room and brandished files and data on the table across to Mycroft and Sherlock. "Sir, I must convey that some things on this laptop are highly personal and protected." Sir Edwin said it in a way which gave Mycroft one opening. He never took such a tone with Mycroft unless it involved Sherrinford, an institution built within itself holding the most dangerous of people inside.

"Thank you, Simon. I shall search through the laptop later on. For now, let's settle with these." Mycroft spoke, using his first name whilst placing his hands on the files. Flipping it open, the first few pages explained in depth how Horace Hooper, the father had tested Elina and Molly in terms of similarities and intelligence. Whilst Molly was known to play the cello, Elina had the capability to listen to a tune and play it on the correct instrument without wavering. Horace Hooper had made a prediction which proved to be correct that if one of the twins thought it, it was likely the other would say it.

When it came to their personal IQ's, funnily enough they both shared the same intelligence quotient but Elina worked purely in her youth in a theoretical term. Whilst Elina was classed from a young age as a musical genius, Molly wasn't taken in the same accord considering she rarely if not all used her intelligence.
