Imagine helping Benedict train for the role of Sherlock

Sorry if it doesn't make sense or that it didn't get the point across right but it was a random idea I concocted but I hope you guys like it as well

-------------------------------------------

We all know the story of Sherlock Holmes the world's greatest detective who was a private detective who has keen powers of observation. He lives at 221b Baker Street in London. He notices things that others simply don't and then he draws accurate conclusions about what he sees. He experiences strong mood swings, plays the violin, and is a master of deductive reasoning

To the world they thought the family had died off and didn't have any natural heirs to the Holmes name but you were so many generations down the line and were and direct heir to the Holmes name though the Sherlock genes missed several generations since he did have children you got them

At first your parents thought it was just a faze since your last name was Holmes and the fact you went to the police station to go on cases which they refused of course, the fact that you wanted detective things and science kits for your Christmas and birthdays they soon realize it was a faze you were growing out of

Now normally you would have a Mycroft to go with a Sherlock person but you grew up an only child but you had that one cousin who always liked to act like him so you called him Mycroft when he annoyed you

When you hit the age of 18 and many legal rights had gone through you owned 221B Baker street and you didn't have to design it into anything you wanted since it was fine the way it was and started your private detective gig and soon your name got around and the police hired your help even though they hated it

When you hit the age of 25 you started off your 'morning' which was at 5am with the causal violin playing even though you knew your neighbors hated it but you didn't care but when you stopped it was around 10 and that's when your clients came in you took some but others you told to leave

When 1pm hit 3 people came through your doors and you weren't interested as you were behind a mass amount of beakers and test tubes

"I'm not taking any more clients today so get out" you spoke out as you were measuring some acid

"we weren't here for any case" one of them spoke out as they walked to the kitchen area confused causing you to sigh and looked at the one who spoke then the rest "then I'm not selling my flat for whatever you need it for" you replied as you went back to the beaker in hand

"well, we thought we would ask" another spoke out looking between the other two wondering who you were

"and asking, pleading, bribing and such won't work this is my flat in the Holmes name so you better have a good damn reason to let me lend you this flat for whatever you need it for" you replied in a bored tone as you stopped what you were doing

"sorry to be rude but this is Mark Gatiss, and this is Steven Moffat, and I'm Benedict Cumberbatch" the one called benedict introduced everyone with a warm smile

"right and I'm called Cole slaw" you replied as you took off your goggles and set them on the table believing their names to be fake

"that's our names don't need to be rude" Mark spoke out as he watched you

"rude? Last time I checked the person downstairs said I didn't want to be disturbed and the door said the same and then you guys just waltzed in here as if to scope out the place then got confused when my voice turned up" you shot back making them finally realize that they did just do that without hesitation

"wait a minute -" Steven spoke out but you cut him off making them more shocked

"then you decided that I would just give up my flat because you desperately needed it for your show or movie I don't care and thought that if she saw 'Benedict' or any of you I would be so keen to do it even after I told you guys to get out and your telling me I'm rude that's rich coming from you" you continued in a monotone voice before moving to open the door "so leave because like I said I'm not taking anything today or wish to be disturbed" you added holding the door open for them

"maybe we got off on the wrong foot here" Benedict tried to reason so that they could do this over again and get this done today

"just cause you use your looks to woo girls doesn't mean it will work on me so leave or I'll call the police for breaking and entering" you replied making him look at you shocked before you started moving to go back to your science experiments as if what you said didn't faze you at all before they started to leave and when they left properly you slammed the door shut and locked it as well as the other door

A few days later the boys came back but this time hoped that you were free and not busy with anything so when they walked in since the door was open they saw you playing with your violin as you looked out the window but the walls were covered in case pictures and clues which you were looking at

"oh, sorry are you busy?" Mark asked as he watched you for a bit before darting to your laptop that was on the table but got silence in return as you worked making them all look at each other in confusion

"inspector I would arrest Neil Hawkins I'll send you the details soon" you spoke out after calling the inspector before hanging up the phone and looked at them confused as to why they were here

"we were wondering if we could discuss business if you're not busy of course" Mark replied as they watched you causing you to sigh and walked over to Benedict and eyed him what normal people would called weirdly but you classed it as normal

When you didn't say anything as Benedict gave you full eye contact which an awkward vibe started to come off of him before you mentally sighed and went back to sit at your laptop to do your job

"what was that for?" Benedict asked as he watched you

"no reason" you replied as you continued with your typing "how much are you willing to put down to use this flat? Because I do have cases to work on and well live here" you added after hitting send and turned to look at him

"how much do you want for us to use the flat?" Steven asked unsure on the amount you were willing to ask him for

"how much are you willing to offer because keep in mind this place is an antique everything you see in here is family heirlooms and treasures from THE Sherlock Holmes so just to put that out there" you replied looked up at them expectedly

"and we understand the history of this place and we wouldn't want to ruin it for any reason whatsoever" Mark replied as he tried to get this calmly and not let it blow over like last time

"and why is he here if you two are doing the business?" you asked as you looked at benedict like you did before

"we also thought you would train him to be like you...since he would be playing Sherlock" Steven replied with a small smile but was uneasy to ask you since you didn't act like what the movies and such provided

"do you smoke?" you asked him even though you knew the answer you were just seeing how honest he was

"no, I don't" Benedict replied as he looked at you with his hands in his pockets

"how well do you know London?" you asked as you got up and moved to circle him a bit while deducing him properly while Mark and Steven were watching you confused a bit

"very well I live in London since I was little so I can go to places that some people would believe don't exist and -" he spoke out but you cut him off by holding up your hand

"how frequent are you with wearing suits?" you asked curiously since he was wearing jeans and a sweater despite this being a business meeting

"I wear them nearly every day since its part of my work" he replied making you sigh as you got back to standing in front of him

"how are you with dead bodies?" you asked before steven got up from his chair to step next to you in quick succession

"you don't need to answer that" Steven replied before he could making you sigh annoyed at a simple question "he's not going to answer something he's not going to properly see in real life since they would be fake anyway" he added as if it was obvious to everyone but you

"yes he does if I'm training him" you replied looking at him which made him conflicted on how to answer you or his actual boss since you were right you were training him in a sense

"I...uh I don't mind the sight of them in movies but I've never been next to a real one or smelt one" he replied but was unsure of how to answer the question to you but Steven rubbed his eyes slightly frustrated

"fine...I'll get back to you with my answer if not then it's a no" you replied as you moved to play your violin weirdly at first before playing properly while they slowly walked out confused at the interaction but took it a sign of hope for the show

"and if I agree to this I'll send you my flat worth when the show is over since I need to work some stuff out" you spoke out calmly as they walked out "and for my wasted time!" you added after a bit

A few days later at 2am you called up Benedict who was asleep in his bed curled up to his wife but his phone woke him up confused so he waited for it to stop to go back to sleep but it kept ringing so his groaned and answered it

"ah your awake good I need you to be at Portobello Road in 10 minutes" you spoke out when he answered the call as if he had no choice in the matter

"who is this?" he replied back tiredly moving to sit up a bit but not enough since he thought he would go back to sleep after the call was done

"Sherlock and please dress appropriately" you replied as you hung up before he could answer but he sighed tiredly as he laid on his bed for a bit before getting up and went to get a shower then dressed in one of his blue jeans and a random suit shirt

"where are you going babe?" Sophie spoke out waking up and rubbed her eyes with a slight yawn

"just for work darling don't worry I won't be long hopefully" he replied after a small yawn but moved to kiss her cheek

"at 2am? Who needs you at 2am?" she asked as she looked at the clock on her bedside table

"Sherlock Holmes" he replied in an annoyed tone but smiled slightly at the humor of saying it as he went to the location given and sighed when he saw you there but surrounded by police cars and an ambulance who all seemed to be waiting on standby instead of doing their job "I'm here" he replied running his hand through his wet hair tiredly

"did you just wake up?" you asked looking him over since you were waiting for him

"yes" he added trying to wake up but it didn't seem to bother you if he was or not so you motioned him to follow you up the crime scene tape

"the freak's here" the policewomen spoke out into her radio as she looked at you as if it was a standoff "why are you here?" she asked but you gave her a look as if to say 'you know why I'm here'

"going to let me in?" you replied in a bored tone but your eyes were on the crime scene not her but she eventually let you in but stopped Benedict but not after looking him over with a smirk "he's with me" you replied making him awkwardly smile before she let him into the area and followed you but you were looking at the ground and such as you walked

"this is a crime scene I don't want it to be tampered with" a guy in a blue suit spoke out as he walked out of the house towards you "are we clear on that?"

"ah Arthur nice to see you again" you replied with a fake smile as you clasped your hands behind your back and Benedict did the same figured he should stand like that than the other day "quite clear is your wife away for long?" you replied in a bored tone but asked a question regardless of you hating him with dear life and benedict watched you confused on why that mattered

"don't pretend you worked that out someone told you that" he replied annoyed

"your deodorant told me that" you replied standing up straight but your eyesight was behind him

"my deodorant?" he replied confused looking a little shocked at that was what gave it away for him having an affair

"it's for men" you shot back with a great big smirk with a little head shake to go along with it

"of course, it's for men I'm wearing it" he replied back in a shocked expression as he looked at you dropping his arms exasperated

"so is sergeant Lopez" you replied back in quick succession before smelling the air "ooof and I think it just vaporized may I go in?" you asked as you heard Benedict laughing slightly in the background

"now look whatever your trying to imply" he replied moving to point at you accusingly

"I'm not implying anything I'm sure Jane came over for a nice chat and just happen to stay over" you replied before looking Jane over "and I'm assume she scrubbed your floors going by the state of her knees" you added before moving to walk inside and Benedict following in suit awkwardly but had a grin on his face

When you both got in the house you saw them handing Benedict some outfit for his clothes "don't bother with that" you spoke out as you walked upstairs and he followed closely behind till you found the inspector who started to explain the case file to you while you got to inspecting the body noticing the words 'Mori' on the floor

"why does it stink in here?" he asked before he saw the body and instantly looked away from it in disgust

"not used to dead bodies?" the inspector asked Ben when he looked at him

"he's only here because 2 idiots want him to be like me" you spoke out as you were inspecting fingernails on the body

"doing what someone says my god who are you anymore" the inspector spoke out as you stood up

"I can just walk out" you spoke out as he raised his hands up in defense and apology as you went back to the body at hand before you sensed his presence at the door

"Mori is Spanish for 'I died' she probably wanted-" Arthur started talking from the door but you got up from your spot and moved to slam the door in his face

"thanks for the input no one wanted" you muttered looking at your phone for something

"or Moriarty" Benedict replied as he looked at it making you turn to him to what most would mistake for a glare but to you it was curiosity as you went back to looking on your phone for something before beginning your open deductions "brilliant" benedict spoke out as he watched in amazement

"don't do that" you replied monotone

"oh sorry" he replied looking down slightly as he felt a bit awkward as his body was back to the dead one with his hand over his nose

"it's fine" you muttered but loud enough for him to hear before starting to head out unexpectedly making Benedict jump at the suddenness and head out with you quickly while everyone else came into the room to process the body

"will there be more nights like this?" he asked as they made their way downstairs

"nights like what?" you asked confused turning to him as you stuffed your hands into your coat pockets to put your phone in

"well waking up a 2am for a crime scene or unexpected drop of plans for training?" he asked jumping a bit since you stopped abruptly but was curious on what he should do since wanted to be like a true Holmes well that's what steven said to him

"it's not like you have plans anyway until I see you can play a decent Holmes instead of portraying him to be what they want him to be like" you replied casually "I'm sure you can handle it either way you are an actor after all" you added as you started to walk away from him and down the street disappearing into the night before Benedict could even catch you so he started to walk home before an officer took him to his house on your request which surprised him

A few days had passed and you had been training Benedict and he had started to learn some good traits off of you but kept him off of the case since you proved his was a distraction for the police so you didn't want to deal with it

But one day when you came back from said case you had to deal with the police who was raiding your apartment for a drugs bust and it was going smoothly until when Ben, Mark and steven had returned to the flat it was filled with police while you paced around your flat

"are these human eyes?" Jane asked concerned as she held the bag up so everyone could see them before going back to work

"put those back!" you order pointing back to the microwave forcefully

"they were in the microwave" she shot back annoyed

"it's an experiment" you shot back annoyed as you looked around watching people annoyed before landing on the 3 at the doorway "what?!" you growled at them and they raised their hands in defense but kept quiet

"stop acting like a child and tell us why you are hiding evidence from us" the inspector spoke out as he held his hands on his hips

"because she's a dangerous psychopath" Arthur spoke out as he turned to you while holding something that you were experimenting on

"I'm not a psychopath Arthur I'm a high functioning sociopath do your research" you shot back in an instant as you turned to him with a glare

"that's good we can use that" Steven replied as he turned to write it down making you sigh even more annoyed which made Mark touch his hand to stop him from causing more of a scene

"I gathered it last night and was looking through it and since you people need your sleep which is useless by the way I was going to inform you in the morning but no your performing a fake drugs bust to see what else I was keeping back" you glared at him annoyed

"she doesn't do drugs! Really?!" Benedict replied in shock as he stepped more into the room and looked at you both in shock and confusion

"shut up right now" you glared at him as you got close to him to sound more threatening

"you?" he replied shocked "no..."

"what?" you looked at him confused your tone dropping a bit but not much lose the threatening aspect to it

"no..." he replied back even more shocked but kept quiet since he thought you were a keep clean type of person and never did any drugs in your life

"I'm clean" you spoke out revealing your sleeve and so did the inspector to show your patches to a non-smoking habit you had

"so am I" he replied as he moved to show you his before he moved to fix his sleeve then his jacket and so did you after a slight huff as you walked to the window while they worked so it would be a mild distraction but something got your attention which made you grab you jacket and leave abruptly pushing past Mark and Steven

"Sherlock!" Benedict shouted as he tried to follow you but you already got into a cab and headed off to somewhere making him sigh annoyed as he watched the taxi just leave down the road and after an hour you got the police to apprehend the killer while you started walking back to your flat

After a few weeks you had been doing cases while they were filming the show but when you kept walking in and out of baker street as if you owned the flat while they were in the process of filming while the fans were told to be kept quiet fans started to talk on social media about you making you roll your eyes at the announcement Mark and Benedict were making outside for my behavior so you sighed and went downstairs

"I am a born descendent to the Holmes name and I don't need needy fans fawning over half decent men to tell me when I can and cannot walk out of my own damn flat so unless you want this stupid show to go onto the tv I suggest you stop with the utter bullshit and get a life touch grass and all that weird stuff" you scolded while holding a beaker of god knows what in one hand and goggles in the other

"what she means is..." Mark spoke out awkwardly trying to fix the situation before you made it worse

"what I mean is get the fuck away from my property because the longer you guys bitch about me the longer filming takes because I will personally make them waste the day away with utter nonsense get a life" you spoke over him before going back inside while they all stayed in silence and some started to disperse from the scene but the dedicated ones stayed

After you had made your own personal announcement it went viral since a few fans made it worse by spreading more rumors which you and Steven Moffat had to make an official video to stop all of it which you weren't a fan of since you were on your phone most of the time doing stuff for a case which you got too bored but eventually got it over and done with and it all went back to normal well for them that is since you still risked your life for cases
