3rd Person Omniscient P.O.V.

Arthur pointed his sword at Phoena's still form, continuing to support Sir Leon. Everyone in the room suddenly looked alarmed and Dean was considering drawing his sword.

"My liege, It is not the same girl. Her hair was red, remember. There is no magic afoot here." Gaius soothed trying desperately to prevent Arthur from beheading her.

"But... but..." He still looked like he didn't quite believe him.

"Her name is Mary." Sam added and Dean flinched.

Arthur nodded and lowered his sword. Then he seemed to remember Sir Leon. He set him down on the cot Phoena was not laying on.

"I apologize for my outburst... I do not know what came over me. Do not allow Merlin in here. He will not be as easily convinced as I was that she is not the Lady Phoena." Arthur said awkwardly. "I must be going." He then hurried out, presumably off to some kingly duty.

"I will send word when we discover what ails her or when Sir Leon is better!" Gains called after him.

There was a collective sigh and a moment of tense silence after that, then Dean interrupted.

"Well... that was... yeah." He cleared his throat.

"Please forgive the King." Gauis said as he began to tend to sir Leon's wound. "He's not usually like that. Phoena, was accidentally killed when he was attempting to kill Morgana. It devastated him that he had stabbed, and eventually killed an innocent. I suppose her face is one of the many that cause him guilt at night."

"I know the feeling." The Doctor said and seemed distant.

"Have you two identified the poison from the description and flower?" John asked directing the question to Sherlock.

"Yes, from what I have ascertained it could only be that of the-"

"Morteous flower." Gaius finished for Sherlock. "It's a deadly and rare flower. It kills within 7 days. It has been used in an attempt to poison," He paused as if unsure of how to finish. "the king."

Sherlock narrowed his eyes but let it drop in the presence of Sir Leon. He was now sitting up and well enough to drink water.

"Thank you, Gaius. We were ambushed. Morgana's men were waiting for us. We managed to defeat them though, a little too easily. Unfortunately, Mordred was taken."

"Easily?! You were injured!" Donna said in disbelief.

"Yes, but not as severely as I have been before, and definitely not for the first time." Leon assured her.

"He means that had she left more men, she quite possibly could've over run them." John explained.

"Yes, you seem quite knowledgeable about battle for a physician." Leon asked puzzled.

"I did my fair share of fighting in wars." John said. "I was injured and I choose my second profession. I kept it even though I'm mostly healed."

"It is always an honor to meet a seasoned warrior." Leon said.

"That means it was a distraction, but from what?" Sherlock asked almost to himself.

Leon stood up, a little shakily. "I must report this to the King, he may have an answer."

Gaius pursed his lips. "I don't think-"

"Then I will rest in my chambers." Leon assured him.

"Very well off with you, and be careful. I will check to see you are resting shortly." Gaius said.
