Monsters

Ash and Dust

“At what point did I say park the TARDIS in our flat?” The Doctor looked incredulously at the detective. “You didn’t, nor did you say not to so I don’t see the point of why you are choosing to make this small matter a big deal.”

Sherlock threw up his arms in annoyance and was about to retort with one of his no doubt offensive rants, but John’s hand on his arm in warning made him swallow the words. After landing the ship, they had stepped out into the familiar sitting room of the detective and blogger. Much to Sherlock’s dismay. John thought it was actually quite fascinating to say the least.

“Fine. She can stay.” The Doctor grinned, “Of course she can! I’m the only one capable of moving her after all.” Sherlock’s eye twitched in anger and he looked about ready to lunge at the Timelord. John spoke up, “So we know that’s it’s one of Crowley’s demons doing the killings. But what else do we know?” Sherlock grinned, “Now you’re asking the right questions, John. What else do we know?”

“It’s a message.” Sherlock turned to the hunter brothers who were just stepping out of the blue box to look around, Castiel had been quick to follow. “I realized that the moment a second body was found. Dull. Now tell me something I didn’t already notice. And try not to be boring.”

Dean looked ready to snap, much to Sherlock’s apparent entertainment. Rose broke it up as she emerged from the phone box, “Okay boys, zip up and put the rulers away. We’re on the same team here, remember?” The Doctor beamed at his companion, “Absolutely! Now, please fill everyone in so we can begin on the same page." John looked to his friend, eye brows raised in amusement. Sherlock rolled his eyes but didn’t protest.

“Now where’s Jack and Crowley?” The Doctor sighed at Sam’s words but smiled lightly, “Knowing Jack, they decided to take a tour.” Rose coughed into her hand to hide a laugh but it wasn’t hard to catch on. “Right, so, moving on without them?” John blinked expectant of Sherlock’s oncoming explanation.

The demon was all too happy to oblige, “Two bodies, two letters.” He looked pointedly to the brothers who nodded in turn. “We can only assume that it’s a message then. An ‘I’ and a ‘o’ are not enough to be the full thing, so,” It dawned on John then, “More people will die then.” Sherlock nodded, “Exactly.” Rose’s eyes widened, “Can we stop it?” The Doctor looked at the Winchesters and Sherlock wondering, “Well?” “Sorry Doc, but until we know who’s doing this, there isn’t much we can do except to continue to look.” Dean scratched the back of his head and sighed, “Sorry.”

Castiel seemed to perk up slightly just then, “Someone’s here.” Sherlock waved his hand and sat down, “It’s Lestrade with the third body.” John opened his mouth to ask him, ‘how the hell?’ but was cut off by the DI rushing through the door a tad breathless, “Sherlock we’ve got ano- Agents?” Dean and Sam looked at each other knowing that they were about to get busted.

Sherlock rolled his eyes and looked pointedly at John before addressing the officer, “They were just running through what we already know. Where was this one found?” Lestrade looked from face to face, taking note of the three new ones and the blue police phone box in the middle of the room before shaking his head in defeat, “In his apartment, just like the others. Heart’s burned out just the same.”

Sherlock’s mouth twitched, “Then the game is on.”

“Okay I get you’re The Doctor. But Doctor Who?” Rose smirked as Lestrade tried to comprehend the introductions of everyone. “And you’re an alien?” pointing at The Doctor the DI turned to Castiel then, “And he’s an angel?” Dean sighed, “Yes, yes and we’re not FBI. We’re hunters who kill monsters and stuff.”
