The Wayfinder and the Siren (JohnLock AU)

E2

A/N Hey My Lovelies!!! Here is another chapter!!!! Hope you like it!!! Enjoy<3

Three hours later, John Watson and a very human looking Sherlock were being pushed through the gates of E2.

Watching Sherlock change from Siren to Human was breathtaking. His song was stunning and watching the energies dance and change around him sent a thrill along John's spine.

Sherlock as a Siren was beautiful, but Sherlock as a Human was stunning.

John felt the confused stares of the guards as he introduced Sherlock as his companion. He knew they were wondering why would a man as gorgeous as Sherlock be with someone as plain as John.

He pulled out his Cell and sent Mike a message, letting him know they had arrived. He pulled his Star Sailor into the dock and paid the fee before leading Sherlock through the familiar streets. He could feel the stares of people recognizing him as they walked, but no one approached them.

They met Mike at the diner outside the main Compound, John instantly recognizing the sound of his friend's laughter as they neared.

"Hey Mikey!" John called, waving at the shorter man. He laughed as Mike all but ran to them, colliding with John and nearly knocking him over with the force of his hug. "It's good to see you too." He yelped as Mike pinched his side harshly, flinching away and rubbing at the bruising skin. "Oi! What was that for?"

"For leaving me like that." John felt his heart go out to his friend and he took the other man's face in his hands, smiling softly at the tear-filled eyes. "I-I didn't want to think that you were-"

"I know Mike, and I'm sorry."

"You should have told me. I could have-"

"There wasn't anything you could have done Mikey. This isn't something a one-off will fix." Mike breathed a heavy sigh and nodded.

"So you aren't-" John's heart hurt when he saw the hope leaving his friend's eyes as he shook his head. Nothing had changed, John wasn't staying on E2, and after he finished helping Sherlock there would be nothing stopping him from sailing into the next storm. He sighed and gently patted Mike's cheek before turning to Sherlock, waving his companion over.

"Mike, this is Sherlock. He saved my ass from that storm." Sherlock nodded curtly at Mike, his eyes scanning John's friend and his jaw clenching. If John didn't know any better, he would say the Siren was jealous of Mikey. "Sherlock, this is Mike. We were on the same Med Unit in the War." Mike stepped forward and pulled Sherlock in for a hug, whispering something in the stunned Siren's ear before pulling away.

"Well, I'm starving. Let's go eat, and we can discuss that tissue you wanted me to sample." Mike draped an arm over John's shoulders and hooked his other arm around Sherlock's elbow and led them into the Diner.

Dinner was unbearable for Sherlock. He hated the taste of human food, and watching John and Mike together made his stomach tighten into knots.

Mike obviously hadn't gotten the 'No Emotions' memo, as he spent the entire night flirting with, and clinging to John. It was obvious John had an emotional connection with the other man, as he flirted back.

Sherlock felt horrifically out of place with the pair, sitting quietly and picking at his food. Even when John started talking about the seal, Sherlock stayed quiet, content to wallow in his self-pity.

"I'll be back, nature calls." John said with a wink before sliding out of the booth. Sherlock watched him walk away, loathing him for leaving him alone with the touchy Mike.
