A Cross in Time

Freaks

Luca's POV

"Oh shit!" I hear someone yell from the opposing side.

Lestrade fades back to normal, just as Holmes had. The two of them share a quick look before they try it again, running out to meet the enemy. Watson comes barreling towards me, then knocks into someone behind me. He swiftly disarms them and knocks them unconscious, taking their weapons. He then stands and turns to me.

"You need to watch your back!" He yells at me before running off again.

The fight doesn't take much longer since the Avengers showed up. When the fight finally ends, my eyes sweep the scene. Everyone seems to be fine.

"Watson!" Holmes screams.

I immediately search for him but he's fine. I look over to Holmes as he runs to her and see Jen on the ground in a pool of blood and Holmes covered in it. The only ones who should be near Jen in this condition are her father and brother.

"Fuck! Holmes, Watson, get away from there! Her blood is dangerous!" I yell, gaining the attention of everyone else.

"Oh God, Jen!" Ethan yells.

We get as close as we're allowed. By now Watson is kneeling next to Holmes and Jen and panicking.

"We'll have to put them into quarantine to watch for any side effects from Jen's blood, especially Holmes." Tony says.

Holmes, Watson, you both need to move away from her." Bruce says trying to keep clam as his only daughter bleeds out.

In Watson's panic, he starts to glow a bright white. As he holds Jen's hand she starts to glow as well. Once the light dims a little, we can see Jen's blood seep back into her body and four bullets extract themselves from her chest. The light dies off completely and Jen seems fine as she opens her eyes again. All her blood is gone, including most on Holmes, she just has a few stains left on her shirt. Although, I'm not sure whether the blood stains are hers or Jen's.

The first words out of Jen's mouth are,

"Why are you purple, Holmes?"

"Uh, long story." She says looking down.

She slowly rises to her feet as Watson helps Jen up.

"Alright, let's get out of here quick." Damion says.

"No." Holmes, Watson and Lestrade say at the same time.

"Why would you want to stay here any longer? You were kidnapped and are all injured." Jamie says.

"Ikrum." Lestrade says.

"He's still here." Watson explains.

"We can not let him escape our grasp when we are so close to catching him." Holmes finishes.

"You can hardly stand!" I say as she leans on me.

"I'm fine." She says trying to straighten up, and almost falling.

I grab her arms to steady her just a voice rings through the lobby.

"The great Holmes, reduced to a damsel."
