During the time Sherlock had been gone and "Viola" and Hannah had been living there, 221B had been cleaned up so that it looked like it had sixteen years ago.
"Ugh," Sherlock groaned as he saw this.
He set female Sherlock's body on the coffee table, pulled his and John's old chairs closer to the couch, and sat in his. Irene sat down in John's chair. The Doctor and River sat on the couch. Hannah and Michael pulled over chairs from the other table and sat.
"Why did Michael kill Viola?" Hannah demanded.
"She wasn't Viola!" Michael yelled.
"YES SHE WAS! YOU KNOW SHE WAS!" Hannah screamed.
"Hannah, Hannah!" Sherlock yelled over her screaming, "Hannah! Calm down!"
Hannah still continued to scream indistinctly, got up, and started to run towards Michael with her hands balled into fists.
"No, no, Hannah," Irene said as she got up and pulled her back into her chair.
"NO! NO! HE KILLED HER! HE KILLED H-"
"HANNAH, SHUT UP AND LISTEN!" Sherlock shouted, getting annoyed.
Hannah looks up at him, her mouth quivering and her eyes filling with tears.
She put her head in her heads and began to cry.
"Sherlock....," Irene scolded.
Sherlock frowned. "No good?" he asked, defeated. What should he have done? Let her scream at Michael and leave no time for anyone to explain anything?
"No," the Doctor answered, shaking his head.
"Hannah, we just need you to calm down so we can explain everything, okay?" River said.
Hannah nodded.
"Okay," Sherlock said, nodding, "Doctor, I think you should start."
The Doctor nodded. He took a deep breath.
With some interruptions from the other two adults and occasionally Michael, the Doctor and River explained everything: who they were, Hamish, how Viola was actually female Sherlock, how the Doctor made everyone forget. Then, the Doctor turned to Sherlock and Irene, who explained what happened when Hannah was still knocked out at the pool and in the cab ride home. And with a laugh, the Doctor told Hananh he was the taxi driver.
Hannah had stopped crying within the first minute of their explanation and had been listening attentively to every word.
When the explanation was finished, Hannah sighed and turned to Michael. "I'm sorry," she said.
Michael nodded. "It's okay. I understand."
Irene then turned to the Doctor. "Doctor, you said something about bringing female Sherlock back to life?"
The Doctor's eyes widened. He got up and started to pace, saying things like, "But I have very little." and "The paradox." and "But I have to."
"Doctor, what are you talking about?" Irene demanded.
The Doctor paused and looked around the room, taking a long glance at female Sherlock before turning to Irene.
"See, I'm an alien, River, too, like I told you all. Timelords have a special ability where we can regenerate. Reincarnate. Change our face. To do that, we have a special energy. This energy can sometimes be transferred from one life form to another. River here saved my life once by doing just that and I healed her wrist by doing the same."
