The next morning, both couples woke up late, also allowing Clara to do so as she had been kept up all night now that there was two groups in the surrounding bedrooms.
When the Doctor, River, Sherlock, and Irene all were up, the four decided to let Clara sleep, as she really didn't do anything anyway, and continued to devise a plan.
"So," the Doctor started, "Where is female Sherlock's body now?"
"At the morgue, for safe-keeping," Sherlock explained.
"Hmm, I have an idea," the Doctor contemplated.
The room was silent for a moment as everyone tried to figure out what the Doctor was thinking.
"Oh," River gasped, breaking the silence, "Oh! But, Doctor, you can't! You don't have enough energy. I know it's for a good cause-"
"But it's a waste! I know, River, I know!" the Doctor cried, "But I have to."
"What? What are you talking about?" Irene insisted.
"Tell us!" Sherlock demanded.
The Doctor turned to the couple. "We're going to bring female Sherlock back to life."
***********
The four left the TARDIS and made their way to the morgue.
When they entered, they were only a little shocked at what they found.
"Looks like Michael got that done," Sherlock said, looking down at Merissa's motionless body on the floor.
"Yes, but where's Michael? And Hannah? She had to be with them, so she must be with Michael," Irene pointed out.
"Oh, right," Sherlock realised.
"What should we do with the body?" River asked, "I mean, we're in a morgue. Should we just leave her somewhere here?"
"Yes, we'll put her in one of these bags," Sherlock answered.
Irene helped Sherlock pick the body up and put her in one of the black body bags.
"Ok, now we have find Michael and Hannah now, yeah?" the Doctor said, rubbing his hands together.
Irene nodded.
"Ok, we'll split up. We know they're not in the lab or the morgue-" River started.
Sherlock interrupted, "Oh, idiot! Hannah's one goal in life is to meet me! Of course!" he yelled.
Irene gasped. "They're at 221B."
"Okay, we've got to get there before one of Merissa's people find out she's dead. Sherlock, you and Irene should get female Sherlock's body as she was technically your daughter and Allons-y! Whoa, haven't said that in a while! Anyway, let's go!" the Doctor exclaimed.
"Wait, why do you need Viola's-er, female Sherlock's body?" Irene asked.
"Didn't you hear me? I'm going to bring her back to life! Come on!"
With Sherlock carrying female Sherlock's body on his back, the four ran out of the hospital and got in the TARDIS.
**********
Michael and Hannah ran from the hospital to Baker Street. When they got there, Hannah tried to tell Michael that Sherlock wasn't there when both heard a strange whooshing noise. Behind them, both saw a blue box fixed on the sidewalk.
"What is it?" Michael asked to no one in particular.
"How am I supposed to know, MURDERER?!" Hannah yelled.
"Hannah, please, she wasn't Viola. She was Merissa," Michael tried to explain again.
"Sure," Hannah mumbled.
The doors to the big blue box thing opened.
"Sherlock! Sherlock?" Michael exclaimed.
"Michael! Hannah! Oh, thank goodness your safe," Sherlock said and sighed with relief before waking closer to Hannah and saying, "Hi, I'm Sherlock Holmes. The world's first ever consulting detective, your best friend's father, and your father's best friend. Nice to meet you, Hannah Watson."
Hannah gasped and shook his outstretched hand.
During this time, the other three had stepped out of the TARDIS, with Irene now carrying female Sherlock's body.
"So, Michael, did you do it?" Irene asked.
Michael nodded.
"Hannah," Irene started before taking female Sherlock's body off her back, "this is Viola's body-well, she's not Viola-well, we should go inside."
"What about Merissa's people?" the Doctor pointed out.
"Well, we've been standing here this long, haven't we?" River answered.
"Who are they?" Hannah asked.
"We'll explain inside," Sherlock insisted.
And the seven of them, including female Sherlock, walked up the stairs, past Mrs. Hudson's questioning face, and settled themselves in the living room of 221B.
**********
Nearby, on the roof tops of several of the surrounding buildings, trained killers sat with guns pointed at 221B.
A girl, who looked about Hannah's age, stood at the top of one of the closer buildings and had just received a text.
MM is dead. It read.
The girl sighed and looked down at the sidewalk. She gasped when she saw the TARDIS.
"What? Should I shoot, ma'am?" one of the men asked.
"No, they're with the Doctor. Don't shoot. We're done here," the girl said before walking over to her own TARDIS, the same TARDIS but in a different point in it's timeline.
This part was meant to set up the sequel but I don't know if I'll ever get around to writing it. The girl in this passage is the Doctor and River's daughter, Doctor Jessica Amelia Song Pond Williams, who became corrupt because of River's past.
