This weeks challenge for Fanwork Friday<\/a> was to write a versus story. Are you reading superwholock the comic<\/a>? You should, it’s awesome. So anyway, I wrote Baker Street during “Army of Ghosts”\/“Doomsday”. Mostly I really wanted to write John Watson vs. a Dalek:<\/p>\n

Doomsday at 221B<\/a> –\u00a0The so-called ghosts have been appearing for months, but when one suddenly appears in 221B and takes Sherlock, it’s up to John to rescue him, with a little help from Mycroft.<\/p>\n

John lowered the paper as the flickering image appeared in the flat. \u201cIt\u2019s happening again, Sherlock.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sherlock grumbled from the kitchen. \u201cMycroft says it has something to do with Torchwood.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s Torchwood?\u201d<\/p>\n

Sherlock ignored the question and picked up a beaker of something green. John sighed and tried to ignore the apparition, sipping his tea instead.<\/p>\n

The image started to coalesce. John set down his tea hard enough to rattle. The flat filled with the sound of clanging boots as John shot to his feet and went for his gun, heart in his throat. Breaking glass told him Sherlock was scrambling to get out of the way as the creature raised a menacing hand and pointed it at him.<\/p>\n

John fired, then hit the deck as the bullet ricocheted off. The creature stomped towards Sherlock, cornered in the kitchen. Heart racing, John made a valiant effort to tackle it; he might as well try tackling an automobile for all the good it did.<\/p>\n

Hitting the floor with a grunt, John heard a clang as Sherlock the creature with something. Searching for a weapon, John\u2019s hand landed on a cricket bat they had lying around from a case. \u201cCall Mycroft,\u201d shouted Sherlock.<\/p>\n

\u201cBit busy,\u201d growled John, swinging the bat with all his might. The thing pivoted and backhanded John, sending him flying across the room into a shelf. John struggled to stay conscious. Sherlock\u2019s feet kicked against the floor as the metal monster dragged him towards the door. John\u2019s hand found the gun and shot it in the back, but still to no effect. Despite his efforts he passed out just as the creature went out the door with Sherlock in its hands.<\/p>\n
