[Kim Possible]

Critic's Office:

Gene smiled at him.

"Thanks. You're nicer than I thought you'd be. You're a good friend. I understand how you feel. I'd love to just wish all my problems away. But not even magic can fix everything." said Gene.

He sighed and grinned.

"But you're here for me now. And that's enough." said Gene.

He hugged Critic again.

Living Room/Linkara's Room:

Kim grinned.

"Your welcome. Perhaps the person you seek is closer than you think." said Kim.

She grinned winking at Magnus before turning to Linkara glad he was catching on. She grinned as they left Magnus and Linksano and were soon in Linkara's room. She turned to him.

"I know it was a diversion but you think you could make me some new stuff perhaps? Maybe get Tony and some of the others to help. Just don't tell Linksano of course. I still can't believe how dense he's being." said Kim, chuckling.

Living Room/Lab:

Linksano smiled at Kim and Linkara.

"Perhaps I will find someone here. Although I haven't really met anyone that's caught my eye yet. Well there was Dr. Tease but she fell for Captain America pretty quickly. And Jane's with Thor. I'm sure I'll find someone here." said Linksano.

He smiled as the pair left to look up some gadgets Kim was making. He turned to Magnus as they headed to the lab as he paused glancing at Magnus seeing him looking at him.

"What's wrong? Is there something in my teeth?" asked Linksano.

Completely oblivious they headed into the lab as Linksano searching for his inventions showing each to Magnus. From weapons, to gadgets, to the security system.

Bedroom:

Mike grinned.

"Yes. I've seen many versions of Sherlock Holmes. And Moriarty was evil in everyone of them. There's even a tv show where you, Watson, Moriaty, and everyone else is dogs. It's called Sherlock Hound. And it's quite a good show. There's even one where you got preserved in honey and woke up in the 22nd century. You teamed up with a robot who downloaded Watson's journals into his memories and ended up believing he's watson. And an officer who's the descendant of Inspector Lestrade. You ended up fighting many criminals including the clone of Professor Moriarty. It was a cartoon but only lasted a couple seasons. It was one of my favorite tv shows." said Mike.

He paused and grinned as they kissed. He was enjoying that more than watching the movie.

"Oh there's another great mystery film called The Great Mouse Detective. It's based off the books Basil of Baker Street. It's about a mouse detective who lives at your home of 221 B Baker Street. You and Watson even cameoed in the film but the film was about Basil. We should watch it sometime. He even had his own Moriarty called Ratigan." said Mike.

Mike grinned at Sherlock's words.

"Yes. It was odd having to share you with myself if that made any sense. But now I don't have to." said Mike.

He grinned kissing Sherlock again and paused as he listened to him.

"Yes he does. Perhaps I'll enjoy it better sitting with you. Then again if we keep kissing like this I'm not going to remember much of the movie." said Mike.

Mike grinned as he paused pulling up his laptop and picture of Jude Law.

"He played Watson in the film. He's an actor here. Like Robert Downey Jr. played you and Tony." said Mike.

Mike grinned as the dvd was in and was soon up to the menu screen. Mike grinned and pressed play as he settled in next to Sherlock to watch the film.

[Magnus Martinsson]

Critic's Office

"Yeah, magic can't fix everything, I'm just sharing my feeling for you Gene. I'm sorry you handled so much. I'm glad I'm being a good friend now. I wasn't always a good friend to people but since this started I'm trying to change that" Critic said with assurance "I'm glad that I'm helping out"

He then hugged gene again with a smile as Gene that being here for him now was enough. Critic was glad for that, at least he was helping out someone now. He nodded slightly before saying "Yeah but I'll not only be here for you today, I'll be there for you whenever you want. Wanna talk to me? Feel free, even if I'm busy with other stuff feel free to talk to me"

Linkara's Room

Linkara was glad that Linksano took the bait as well as he did, and as they went to his room, he quickly closed the door and then cut loose. He at first starting giggling thinking about what magnus and linksano were about to do, then he started snickering before finally laughing. He started to laugh so hard he fell to his bed, holding his sides, despite being aware linksano and magnus were downstairs he couldn't help but control his amusement with the whole situation. He supported linksano and magnus being together but the fact the smartest man in the AT4W group was so dense about romance made it so hilarious to the comic book nerd. He heard Kim but he was trying to control his laughter.

Eventually he spoke, the restaint of keeping himself from laughing again "Yep. I'm more than happy to get myself, Tony and some others invovled in making more things for you. Diversion or not, you needing stuff is pretty important. Maybe we'll make a version of Jesuotaku's power gloves for you to use, or a special power gun. Don't worry I'll think of something"

He then took a breath before laughing again "S-sorry. But, but, Oh god. The way Linksano though magnus' winks were some sort of negative effect on his eye. That was the best part. I can't believe it either. Linksano, hell anyone, can't be that dense ever. Guess I was wrong on that regard. Well, hope Magnus can get through to him"

Lab

Magnus nodded, sarcastically and seriously at the same time, in agreement at Linksano's comment that maybe he would find someone else when Kim commented that maybe the person was closer than he was assuming which magnus knew that she was talking to him and he winked back when she winked at him. When the other two left, Magnus was a bit more relieved, now he could really work hard to get Linksano's attention. Why he was so determined, magnus had no idea mostly because normally people as dense as Linksano would've rubbed him the wrong way immediately and he'd completely reject his quest for romance, yet linksano's density was in a way very charming and interesting. So, as it pointed out, magnus was into interesting people so he was going to find a way to get through linksano's density. He natrually followed Linksano with a amused smile down to the lab.

"Oh no. Nothing's wrong. In fact, everything is just fine. I just love your company, Dr. Linksano. Maybe you should have more time with me. You can show me more than your weapons" He winked again with a flirtatious smile "Oh and that's nothing wrong with my eye, linksano. It was winking, and I don't do that for people unless they interest me" He was more blunt with the winking because he knew if he did it without explaining Linksano might want to "check" it for possible problems. He was trying a bit harder to flirt with the scientist, and hopefully something would click in the scientist's head. He then looked at the weapons and grinned interested with them "Which one's are your favorite, doctor? I'm ever so curious"

(OCC: Magnus is really trying now. He's like forcing the issue XD)

"Really? There are quite a lot of versions with me obviously. Perhaps after the, um, robert downey jr films we can watch The Great mouse detective and your favorite TV show. I'm very curious to them now and since you said they are interesting, maybe I should see them myself with you" Sherlock said cheerfully, honestly not caring about seeing more films or shows, as long as he was with Mike Stone he was extremely content. He smiled as Mike leaned in to kiss him once more and Sherlock willingly kissed back, his hand gently on mike's shoulder as he did so. He enjoyed Mike's kisses, they were definitely the combination of the original stone and Wayne's, which made it so intoxicating for the older detective to take. But he would take it with the greatest of pleasure.

"Indeed, it was rather confusing but it is over now. We can be happy as long as we wish" Sherlock agreed as Mike said he no longer had so share him with two people of the same body. He kissed mike a bit deeper as mike once again kissed him on the lips, he was enjoying this far too much. He had to pay attention to more than just that. "Is that such a bad thing? To lack knowledge of a movie that you previously saw? Besides I will be paying attention to explain the details you missed" Sherlock teased and he smiled to show to mike he was joking. He then adjusted himself on the bed as he and Mike got ready for the film, but then looked to see Jude Law and Sherlock instantly nodded "Well they picked the right actor then. Because that man looks precisely like Watson" He smiled softly, he missed his best friend but at least people in this world knew who watson was too.

When the movie began, Sherlock settled in with Mike and put a arm around mike's waist to keep him close. The movie began with many of the police of scotland yard as well as dr. watson getting prepared with his gun to go to a certain building. Sherlock instantly remembered this case but did not say anything because there was nothing to say, then they saw a man running and instantly right on the screen Sherlock himself(Of course he knew this was the robert downey jr fellow Mike was talking about) was there. "That man really DOES look exactly like me"

[Dr. Linksano/Wayne Schlumper]

Critic's Office:

Gene smiled at him.

"Thanks again Critic. Sometimes I forget how kind humans can really be. Which is kind of ironic seeing I'd give anything to be human. I have the power to give 3 wishes to anyone who has my lamp but I can't get anything for myself." said Gene.

He sighed and smiled at Critic again.

"Of course you're helping out. You're a great friend." said Gene.

He smiled as Gene said he'd be here for him whenever he wanted even he was busy. Gene smiled hugging him again.

"Thanks Critic. I'm not really ready to talk about this to anyone else yet. But I'm glad someone knows." said Gene.

Linkara's Room:

Kim nodded.

"Sounds like a plan. I do need some more gadgets anyway." said Kim.

She listened to him as he talked about the power gloves or a gun. She nodded not sure what a power glove was but it sounded cool. She chuckled as the topic shifted back to Linksano.

"I know. Hard to believe he's an alternate version of you. I wonder if he's so obsessed with science maybe he just doesn't notice romance. For Magnus's sake I hope he can get through to him too." said Kim.

XXXX

Lab:

Linksano looked at Magnus with a grin.

"Ah I see. Thanks. You seem like a fun guy too. Linkara and the others are always telling me to get out of the lab and make more friends. But I just like inventing things. It's not just a hobby. It's practically my life. And not many people get that. But you seem to. And I like that." said Linksano.

He smiled as Magnus asked about the weapons and Linksano grinned. As he walked to several of the weapons he created.

"Sure. I got lasers, swords, canons, you name it. Of course Tony's made more advanced ones which makes sense. Since he created that Iron MAn suit after all." said Linksano.

He paused confused saying he winked for people who interested him.

"So you wink for people who interest you? Like your friends. Well I hope you wink at Linkara soon. He's pretty fun guy. I'm sure you two would get along great. And so would you and Kim I think." said Linksano.

He paused as Magnus asked him which was his favorite. Linksano paused walking up to the canons.

"These are my favorites so far. I just invented them. I can't wait to see them tried out on the battlefield. I'm sure these will be quite a surprise to the othe armies." said Linksano, chuckling.

(ooc: Enjoying keeping oblivious Linksano totally oblivious. It's just going to be that much more fun when the truth comes out. xd)

XXXX

Bedroom:

Mike nodded with a grin.

"Yes. Well the Mouse Detective one is interesting. Cause Basil book that the move was based off are similar to your stories. And yet Basil and Sherlock Holmes both are in the movie. Although your character's only it for a short scene as the movie focuses on the mouse world not the human world. But I think you'd enjoy it." said Mike.

Mike grinned as Sherlock kissed him back as he felt his hand on his shoulder. He smiled glad Sherlock was glad he was one person again.

"Plus it was odd feeling like I was competing with myself for you. Now you have all of me and I wouldn't have it any other way." Said Mike.

He grinned as they kissed again. He grinned noding at Sherlock.

"I suppose. Plus you can tell me if anything is different. After all there may be things that didn't make it into the movie or maybe were changed. After all what's movie here was your real life. So be interesting if there are differences." said Mike.

Mike paused with a grin.

"I'm glad he looks like your Watson. That's a good thing." said Mike.

Mike grinned listening to him as the movie began. He knew Sherlock missed his old life including Watson. Mike would find a way to get him back home and make him happy. He knew it'd be selfish to ask him to stay and Mike couldn't go with him. He had a life here as well. He knew that world needed Sherlock Holmes to help solve cases. He just didn't want to say goodbye. He paused realizing he was starting to cry as he wiped them away hoping Sherlock didn't see them. He didn't want to ruin the moment. He paused the movie glancing at Holmes.

"Tell me about Watson. This movie is sort of near the end of your adventures. Watson's already married and you guys aren't working together as much as you used to. It must have been hard to let him go and go back to solving cases on your own again." said Mike.

He chuckled when Holmes said the man really does look like him.

Critic's Office

"You're welcome Gene. If I was your master, I probably would've used my last wish to let you go, and I don't think I'm lying about that" Critic said with a honest grin. He then smiled softly as the other said that he was a good friend, that was critic's best intention "I'm glad to hear that I'm helping and am being a good friend" He hugged back as Gene hugged him and nodded as the duck genie said he didn't want to tell everyone quite yet, that he didn't feel ready. But that he was pleased Critic was there for him. "Whenever you're ready, you let me know. But my door will be wide open for you. That's for sure"

Linkara's Room

"Well good. We'll get to work on them ASAP. Don't worry about it kim. You'll have more stuff in no time" Linkara assured as he restrained himself from laughing anymore. Yet when the topic got on the scientist again, Linkara giggled like a madman. He could not stop laughing. The obliviousness Linksano had was astounding. Linkara nodded through his giggles as Kim expressed that she couldn't believe it either. "Maybe he is too obsessed but Magnus seems like a smart guy too. Hopefully Linksano will get the message. We never know"

(OCC: Oblivious Linksano is hysterical XD)

Magnus frowned, particularly out of his own annoyance with how much Linksano just did not get it. He nodded in frustration and said calmly, forcing himself to smile and not lose his cool "Yes. Yes indeed. I do understand that science to you is very important. It's very helpful and interesting. I get that but I'm not talking about your interests, I'm talking about you. You, Linksano, interest me. Not just your lab or inventions, which are great, but I'm talking also about you Dr. I'm interested completely in you too" He was being much more blunt now. The scientist was THIS oblivious?! How was it possible? Magnus was determined but shocked at the same time.

"Amazing. All this stuff?" Magnus said as he actually paid attention to all the weapons and inventions Linksano stated he made. He then widened his eyes hearing another man named tony made more advanced things such as a iron man suit. But Magnus didn't care about Tony or his advantages, he cared about Linksano. Magnus' focus was on getting through Linksano's head. "You are incredibly talented and smart Linksano. People like you should definitely have someone looking out for them" He was trying so hard by this point. Even though his voice was smooth and calm, the bluntness made it seem like he was making linksano forcefully put two and two together.

"Winking is for people who flirt with one another too, darling linksano. Flirting is a romantic advancement I might add, just so you wish to know. Linkara's a very nice guy but I'm not really concerned with him now. Same with Kim, nice girl but I'd like to continue with you if you please" Magnus said, growing increasingly annoyed but he was stubborn and the calm tone of his voice was still there. Though it had some sharpness in it. As if Magnus was struggling and he was.

"Oh really? Well I like men who like their weapons to be big" Magnus chuckled, seeing the cannons and listening to what Linksano had to say about them. "You do know your stuff when it comes to science and weaponry, Dr. Very good and really attractive"

"I believe I would indeed enjoy this. Once this movie is over, I say we see "The Great Mouse Detective". The more you describe it to me, the more I'm intrigued" Sherlock said with a big grin. He could watch paint dry with Mike there but the idea of a mouse similar to himself sounded amusing enough to watch. He didn't see any reason not to. He smiled softly after they kissed and chuckled lowly as Mike said he was glad not to fight against himself for Sherlock anymore and the detective was glad about it too. "Nor would I. I love the way you are now" He then nodded as Mike agreed with what he said about in defense of the film, and he nodded "Indeed. I can tell what is correct in the movie and what is not. It will still be interesting to watch"

"A very good thing. This Jude Law fellow, apparently that is his name, seeing the small description, even has the same weight as Watson" Sherlock said, smiling at the picture, almost as if this was a actual photo of his best friend. Now that he saw Watson, he was beginning to feel the pains of homesickness. However it was quickly evaporated as he relaxed and remembered he was with Mike and he'd rather have that then be in the streets of London alone. As much as he loved solving mysteries, he could easily solve the same mysteries and problems here in the modern world, and be happy with mike. It seemed easy at the moment so sherlock didn't bother with it anymore. He turned to see Mike and smiled softly as the other asked him about watson. "It was very difficult, yes. But Watson is an extremely kind and thoughtful man, hence why he wished to be committed to Mary. But we solved many cases before that point, he always found the pieces I could not get and normally fought off rather brutal people while I went to apprehend the main suspect of our cases. Solving cases alone was easy, solving cases with Watson was fun"

He then turned to the movie went to resume and he saw his own self run to a private corridor and then take down a guard with quick ease in martial arts, the film explaining easily how he did and what skills he did it with. "The movie so far is accurate. Though the corridor wasn't THAT long to run down on" When the movie suddenly turned to Lord Blackwood, the main villain, chanting in a specific room to a seemingly possessed woman getting ready to stab herself only to have both Watson and Holmes stop the murder in progress. Sherlock hummed and responded "It turned out they used a very specific drug which has fatal affects on the mind. It caused her to behave manically enough to want to kill herself. Lord Blackwood's chant is real and it encourages the negative behavior. Once he stopped, she had a clear ability to stop also. Fortunately the police saved her in time. Before I came here, her father contacted me and thanked me for saving her life, I simply responded it was a pleasure, the girl's life was important"

He then saw Blackwood eventually get arrested by Clarky, one of the main officers in the film, and he chuckled softly "Poor clarky. He is unfortunately a superstitious man. He is very nervous of practical magic. I used to not believe in magic but then I came here" He then saw the film title's come on and he nodded "Very good beginning overall" The movie continued and watson was talking to the captain and he chuckled as gunfire came across the room "For the record, I was making a lot of progress of muting the gunshot, if only Watson gave me a extra three hours"

Critic's Office:

Gene looked at him sadly and shook his head.

"You're just saying that. People have said that too me too many times and they always use their third wish for something else. I'm just grateful Grimhilde lets me walk around when she doesn't need me. She's the first master I've had in a long time who did that. I was trapped in my lamp between wishes for most of my masters. I was a slave to get them what they wanted. And some even punished me if it amused them. I couldn't even defend myself. There are several rules for my lamp. I can't make anyone fall in love. I can't revive the dead. I can't kill anyone. And I can't harm my master. I couldn't even defend myself." said Gene.

He paused as fresh tears came as he wiped them away.

"Thank you Critic. I really needed this talk. The only thing keeping me sane all these years was hoping I'd one day get a kind master again and maybe one day I'd be free. They seemed like foolish dreams but that was all I had." said Gene.

Gene smiled as Critic hugged him. He looked at him with a grin.

"Thanks. Maybe I could talk to Splinter about this sometime. He seems like very wise. I just don't know if I want everyone to know. I don't want anyone to treat me differently. I don't want their pity. I just want friends. And this is the first time I've ever really had friends." said Gene.

Linkara's Room:

Kim nodded.

"Thanks Linkara. I'm sure you and the others will make some great stuff. I usually used stuff Wade made me so this will be odd to use someone else's stuff. But I do need more gadgets to use." said Kim.

Kim chuckled. The oblivious scientist was totally oblivious.

"Well from what I've heard he was an insane scientist trying to take over the universe and later the multiverse. If you hadn't convinced him to work for you he'd probably be one of the other villain armies right now. But science seems his first passion. Perhaps we could help Magnus update a bit to this century more. If he knows more about science then Magnus could bond more with Linksano that way." said Kim.

XXXX

Lab:

Unaware of Magnus's intentions and frustrations Linksanoi was grinning glad Magnus was interested in his inventions.

"I know you're from a different time so most of this stuff is properly unfamiliar to you. So if you want me to explain anything I'd be more than happy to." said Linksano.

He paused as Magnus said he interested him. Not just his labs or inventions and Linksano smiled.

"You interest me too. A man from the past. I'd love to know more about you and your time. Perhaps we could share stories. You could share stories about your time perioid and I could help you adjust a bit to this time. I want to know if your history's different than this one. Or the universe I'm from." said Linksano.

Linksano grinned at Magnus's praise and amazement.

"Yes. I enjoy inventing things. Inventing and science is my passion. It's so refreshing to work with a group of scientists. Usually it was just me and Linkara. But now there's Tony, Donatello, Bruce, Dr. Tease, Dr. Foster, and the rest of our group." said Linksano.

He blushed a little as Magnus continued to praise him calling him talented and people should be looking out for him.

"Thank you. I'm glad you feel that way. It's always nice to hear someone appreciate my work." said Linksano.

He paused as Magnus said winking was for people who flirt. And he didn't want Linkara or Kim. Linksano looked at him confused.

"Oh. I get it. You're the shy type. You don't want me to know which one of them you like. Well I think they're both taken unfortunately. But I'm sure you'll find someone else here you like." said Linksano.

Linksano grinned at Magnus's words missing the double meaning.

"Well of course. Who doesn't like big weapons." said Linksano.

He paused at his words and grinned. He was surpised at the word attractive but brushed it off as a compliment.

"Thanks. Science has been my entire life. I've been making experiments and inventions since I was a child. It didn't give me much time for friends which was lonely at times. But now I have more friends then I thought possible." said Linksano.

Mike grinned at Sherlock.

"I'm sure you would. That's a film I wish they'd made into a tv series or had sequels. Mysteries are quite popular after all." said Mike.

He grinned as they kissed again. He pulled back grinning.

"I could get used to this. Spending time together, kissing. You mean so much to me even when I was split in half I both of my personalities wanted you." said Mike.

Mike grinned as the movie kept going. He nodded listening to him.

"So so far everyone at least looks the same as they do in your world. Glad to know. Of course I'm glad Watson has a wife. That means he's not interested in you the way I am. I wouldn't want competition." said Mike.

He grinned giving him another kiss as he wrapped his arm around Sherlock while they kept watching the film. Mike listened as Sherlock spoke about Watson and Mary.

"I hope they're doing alright without you. Your disappearance probably has everyone searching for you by now." said Mike.

Mike chuckled as Sherlock said the corridor wasn't that long.

"Poetic license I suppose." said Mike.

Mike sighed as it switched to the movie villain. He was glad they were able to save the girl's life though.

"I'm glad she's ok. At least it was a drug. At least some part of this film had regular villains. It always confused me why there had to be a supernatural element in this film. You're not a witch or a super hero. You fight criminals like Moriarty." said Mike.

Mike paused.

"Well technically science brought you here." teased Mike.

Mike nodded as the film kept going. He chuckled.

"I'm sure you were." said Mike.

"Maybe I am. I don't know. I just was trying to make it hurt less I guess. I'm sorry it was like all that gene. I really am. You believe that right?" Critic asked softly, sadness coming through him. He was pitying unfortunately but how could he not? This poor thing was just a kid and this was how they treated him. He hugged gene and nodded "I understand. You wanted to be hopeful. That's nothing to be ashamed about. I used to think that's foolish but I've changed"

He then listened to gene talk more about how unsure he was about talking about this. "Whatever you want to do, Gene. I know you just want friends. I'm glad to be your friend if you want. I'm not going to pity you. I'm sure if you talk to splinter he won't just pity you, he will help you. He helped his son donny, he helped others, I think he could help you. And you do have friends here, you're one of us, gene"

"Don't worry. You'll get used to it. But it's not a problem. You need stuff just like the rest of us" Linkara politely replied. He then giggled again at the very thought of his scientist friend so oblivious "He's so oblivious because of his logical mind. I'd feel sorry if it wasn't so hilarious" He then pondered about magnus "I don't know. He seemed modern. You might be thinking of Hal and Elisa said something about being willing to teach him. But if you mean with linksano's type of science, oh my lord yes. Magnus NEEDS this or he won't get anywhere"

"Wait what? I'm from a modern time. Yes I want to learn about your stuff. Wait. I'm not talking JUST about your inventions!" Magnus said, perplexed of how oblivious and innocent this man was. It was actually really interesting. He continued to chat with Linksano, more and more annoyed but he tried his sincere hardest NOT to explode. "Again. I'm from 2009. I may need improving but I'm not like from the past past. But yeah, I got plenty of officer stories that are a hoot. And you and I can just be alone. It'll be nice. Private even" He was trying more than ever. Trying to hit the nails on the head for the scientist. Nothing seemed to work.

"Well yes. That's very nice. Very nice indeed. I am glad you work with such fine people. These are good inventions" Magnus said, trying to focus on more than one topic so to not look so shallow. He was interested which helped but his goal was to get linksano's attention on the real matter. Flirtation. Romance. That stuff!

"You know you're adorable when you blush. You're adorable period" Magnus said, starting to give up the subtlety. He tried to do the blushing method. It worked before right? "I appreciate more than the work linksano. I appreciate the person who made it" He said, his tone trying to go back to pleasant rather than calm.

"Oh for the love of christ, NO! I'm not into them! I'm not shy! I prefer someone else! The person right in front of me!" Magnus said, the frustration too much to bear. He then paused as Linksano completely missed the meaning. Has this person never seen romance movies? Has he never seen people flirt? Has he never had anyone flirt with him at all? HOW THE HELL IS THIS POSSIBLE?! Magnus thought to himself, a vein noticeable as he tried to wrap his brain around this man. Was it a joke? Was it serious? Was this person playing stupid to get Magnus to keep guessing? Magnus didn't know.

"Maybe you should have more than just friends. Maybe you should listen to Kim's advice and try to find someone new. Now that you have friends, surely you think about dating right? Anybody? Like at all?" Magnus said, starting to give up and just tell Linksano straight of how exactly he felt.

"They are. As they should be" Sherlock responded, smiling softly as he observed his love. He was infatuated with him. He'd do anything for Mike. Love him, spoil him, worship him, die for him. Anything. He sighed softly, listening to Mike's tone of voice. It was so soothing to the detective "Yes. I could get used to this also. This is quite a treat. You mean the world to me"

"Yes they do. I commend your film producers for this" He smiled before laughing at Mike's joke. He responded, still laughing "Oh do not worry. Watson has expressed many times he was straight. You are safe. And I do not think even he would replace someone like you" He kissed him again as Mike kissed him and sherlock's passion grew once more before he could stop it. The passion was evident and eventually he let go. He then watched more of the film. He then nodded at the poetic license since the corridor was too long.

He then shrugged "To add drama I suppose. I do not care in the end. Or maybe it has something to do with my author?" He shrugged once more. He then smirked "Yes but I meant about our members of our army being magicians. Maleficent for example" He then watched the movie continued and he pouted at Mike's chuckling comment "I was! He wasn't patience with me!" He then heard himself scream and he blushed as he heard himself say to watson to "Be gentle" and he then saw himself crawl. He nodded with a impressed smile "Yes. This unfortunately is similar to how I react when I do not have work. Work is important"

Gene sighed.

"I know you're trying to help. But I've had enough false and empty promises in my life. So I guess I just stopped believing in promises. No one's kept a promise to me before so why should they now?" said Gene.

He paused at his words and smiled.

"Thank you. Well I'm glad you changed. You seem like a nice man. And you're one of the leaders here. So you're keeping us all safe from the other armies. We probably would be slaves or brainwashed like some of the others if it wasn't for you and your friends." said Gene.

Gene smiled at him.

"Thank you. I would like another friend. I do think talking with Splinter's the best way to go." said Gene.

Gene smiled and hugged Critic again.

"Thank you Critic for everything. You're a good friend." said Gene.

Linkara's Room:

Kim nodded.

"Thank you. I appreciate it. It might take awhile for you to make them but there's no hurry." said Kim.

Kim smirked as the topic shifted back to Linksano.

"I do feel sorry for him. He may never find romance if he stays like this. Whether it's Magnus or someone else." said Kim.

She paused blushing at he slip up.

"I guess I did mix them up. They look so much alike. They could be twins." said Kim.

Kim grinned glad he agreed about teaching Magnus more about science.

"Perhaps you and the others could help him with the basics. Or at least enough to impress Linksano." said Kim.

Lab:

Linksano paused at Magnus's woreds blushing at his slip up.

"You are? Oh dear. I think I've confused you with someone else. You look a lot like one of the others here." said Linksano.

Linksano paused at his words.

"2009 huh. Well only a few years. Not as long as I expected. But you're still from the past so I guess I was kinda of right." said Linksano.

Linksano paused grinning at him.

"Officer stories? I'd love to hear about them. I thought about being a cop once but decided to be a scientist instead. We already are alone my new friend. But I don't mind hanging out again with you sometime. The only real friends I had was Linkara, 90's Kid, Harvey, and the rest of the Atop The Fourth Wall crew. So friendship is still pretty new to me." said Linksano.

He paused at his words and grinned at the compliment of his inventions.

"Thanks. Science is pretty much my life. Creating things. Gadgets, weapons, security systems, armor, you name it. It's just so much fun." said Linksano.

Linksano looked at him in surprise and smiled.

"I've never been called adorable before. Thank you for the compliment." said Linksano.

He paused as Magnus said he didn't just appreciate the work but the person who made them too.

"I'm glad to hear that. I appreciate you too. You're a good friend." said Linksano.

Linksano paused flinching at Magnus's practically shouted out him. He stepped back a bit nervous. He heard the part about Magnus not being into Kim and Linkara but he missed the rest. He'd been yelled at before but this had just come out of nowhere. He'd been picked on while going to school by bullies, and even classmates. He was always the nerd or the loser. He had never really had any friends until het met Linkara and the others. Now he'd just upset someone else. His hands were starting to shake a little as he fought back tears.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you mad. It's happening again. I'm brilliant with inventing things but stupid with people. Maybe I should just stick to what I do best inventing things. All people have done is mock me or leave me and I'll be alone again one day anyway. I might as well get used to it now." said Linksano.

He walked away from Magnus to work on Jesu Otaku's power gloves. He also wiped away fresh tears. He paused hearing Magnus's words and shok his head.

"I don't think there is someone anymore. I used to want to find someone but most of the girls I've met talk to much or aren't smart enough. I'm thinking about giving that up too. There's only so many failed dates a person can take before he wants more. And I don't think I'll ever get that." said Linksano.

Bedroom:

Mike grinned at his words.

"I just love mysteries. Movies, books. Especially ones about you." said Mike.

Mike smiled again as Sherlock agreed with him.

"And you mean everything to me. We're like a matching set. Incomplete seperately but together we're perfect match." said Mike.

Mike nodded.

"I wonder how actors here look just like real people in your worlds. It's a real weird coincidence. Or maybe our worlds were more connected than we all realized." said Mike.

Mike grinned.

"I'm glad for that. I would like to meet him one day. He's another of my idols as well. The partner of the great Sherlock Holmes." said Mike.

Mike was then lost in the moment as they kissed again. He really enjoyed kissing Sherlock. He pouted a little as they parted. Although he knew they needed to breathe. He smirked as Sherlock spoke again.

"I suppose. I'm just glad they captured your good looks." said Mike.

He paused and nodded.

"Ahh I see. I guess you're right about that." said Mike.

Mike saw he was pouting and wrapped his arms around him kissing him on the cheek.

"Sorry my love. I didn't mean to make you upset." said Mike.

Mike smirked as the film kept playing.

"Good to know. Although I hope you know when you don't have work now you get more time with me." said Mike.

Critic's Room

To be honest, Gene's question of why promises should be kept were at a loss for Critic. He didn't know how to respond to such deep philosophy like this. He was no Shakespeare. He was just some guy struggling on his own path. But Gene was a child and Critic was a adult, so there was hope for Gene to be less bitter. "Uh, well, that's a hard question. To be honest, promises can be kept but it depends on the person making them. I'm a jerk but I do keep promises, sometimes unwillingly but I keep them. You deserve closure and promises to be kept because you've been hurt in the past and need a second chance. Maybe that's why" A lame answer but Critic was a pretty lame man. A brave, noble man but still a lame one.

"Maybe but you wouldn't of liked me if you've gotten to know me before this. War changes people, gene. But I'm glad I changed for the better too, because I really don't like my past self. I'm shocked that I was unaware of how jerky I was before this" Critic said, a harsh tone in his voice but it wasn't directed at anyone, it was more of anger towards himself. He did smile at Gene though, to make sure the child felt safe when he said he wanted a friend "Well I'm more than happy to be a friend of yours and yeah, holding it in is not fun. Best you let splinter know. Or if he doesn't seem right, talk to somebody you can really trust"

"You're welcome, it's the least I can do. You don't need to thank me though" Critic responded softly, hugging Gene right back

Linkara's Room

"It's no trouble, Kim. It's a pleasure for me to help you" Linkara said, his tone sincere and his smile quite friendly. He quite liked this young girl and wanted to do anything to help out. Linkara bonded with every army member, whether as a good ally or a friend, and wanted to make sure everyone was present, accounted for and more importantly safe. When the conversation returned to Linksano, Linkara's amusement faded and turned into sympathy "Yeah, you're right. It's not even his fault. He's been so used to being isolated with science, he hasn't developed proper social skills unless it's a platonic relationship like siblings or friends like myself and even then it's difficult"

"They could... That's not good. He could get in serious crap if he meets hal or loki's enemies. We need to take care of this issue. With bodyguards or something" Linkara pondered, starting to worry about Magnus' personal safety. He then nodded at Kim's suggestion to help magnus "Yeah, we can, I'm pretty basic but my advice is good enough"

"Do I now? Oh yeah, that's a interesting point of view" Magnus responded, his tone patient this time around. He then listened more to Linksano and nodded at his past response about magnus not being in the current year "That is true. This is 2012 or something right? It's still in the past, just not from a really long time. You're not wrong"

"Oh well, I'm more than happy to be a friend of yours then. That's a shame this is new to you. People shouldn't really be isolated from others, it's kinda hard to be. But I'm glad the atop the fourth wall folks are your friends" Magnus replied, starting to realize that Linksano wasn't being stupid for fun, he was being oblivious because he never really was social in the past. That made Magnus feel a little sorry for him and very guilty for being frustrated with him.

"It sure looks like it. And maybe you should be called adorable more often" Magnus replied, being much less frustrated. Although he hadn't given up wanting to be romantic with linksano, he decided to stop being frustrated, seeing it was getting him nowhere and just take much less big steps. And it proved to be even worse when Linksano got incredibly scared and started crying. Saying that maybe he should get used to being alone, seeing he was stupid with others. Magnus sighed, seeing that his outraged burst was completely unprofessional. Seeing Linksano walk off and deny ever having a romantic relationship seemed really saddening to Magnus. Maybe being romantic now wasn't a good idea. Best he waited. Magnus right now needed to get linksano to trust him and like him let alone feel love for him.

"I'm sorry doctor. I didn't mean to get angry, that's not your fault, that was mine. I get impatient with others sometimes. You're not stupid, I was trying to explain something but maybe I'm just being stupid myself. I don't know what I was doing. I guess I have a hard time talking to others" That wasn't completely a lie. He was more social but had few friends himself. Sure he dated before but magnus didn't keep a steady relationship with anyone, not even friends. He wanted to make linksano forget the whole thing for now and just be friends for the time being to see what happened. "I still wanna be your friend linksano, I'm just being a asshole. I'm sorry. And you will find someone eventually, everyone does" It pained him to not say maybe try with him but linksano didn't need the pressure.

He tried to smile and patted the doctor's shoulder "Hey. My offer of telling you officer stories still stands"

"Why dear mike, I do believe you're being a tad bias now" Sherlock teased, chuckling, which was a deep soothing tone when he did have the time to laugh or be amused. The fact Mike was so in love with him and vise versa made this war a hell of a lot easier to deal with. Sherlock was incredibly happy and it showed through expression and tone.

"Yes. A extremely perfect match" Sherlock agreed, holding the other man closer to him in a affectionate way. He then nodded with a interested look in his eyes "Indeed, a strange coincidence. Best we continue watching this film to find out" He then watched the film more and listened to mike talk to him about Watson "Perhaps fate will provide us to see Watson but because this war being dangerous, I wish that he stays back in London"

"As do I, that would've been a crime if they didn't" Sherlock said, winking to imply he was joking. However, sherlock was a tad vain about his personal appearance and Robert Downey Jr's looks were very similar to his own and he was very glad for that. He didn't want to appear old or worn out in this film and thankfully he didn't. He then nodded seeing Mike agreed with him about the drama in the film and smiled softly as Mike apologized, kissing his cheek "Do not apologize, love, you did not make me upset, I just have a tendency to stand up for my work" He then watched the film and listened to mike comment about that when he didn't have work he got more time with mike, Sherlock grinned "Absolutely. And I am very, very pleased with that"

He watched the film continue and go to the scene where Watson brought up inviting sherlock going to the royale to eat and meet his fiance Mary. Then it cut to the dinner where the movie showed Sherlock studying everyone in the restaurant before watson spoke having mary beside him....

"Holmes, you're early"
"Fashionably"

"She is a bit more overweight than the movie portrays" Sherlock stated, a negative tone in his voice. As much as he trusted her, Sherlock was still sour that mary stole watson's ambition to solve cases with sherlock. Not in a way he was romantic with watson but he was jealous that his best friend was taken. Sherlock was a bit possessive of those he cared about, first watson now mike was in that category. So sherlock's comment was untrue but mike didn't need to know that. Right?

[Kim Possible]

Critic's Room:

Gene smiled at him.

"I suppose you're right. I did have some good masters but most of them were evil. I wouldn't exactly call Grimhilde good but she hasn't been one of my worst masters either. She's somewhere in the middle I guess. I just fear what happens when she makes her third wish. I mean my lamp will up for grabs and I have to serve whoever finds it. For all I know someone in the others armies might claim my lamp." said Gene.

Gene nodded.

"It doesn't matter when I met you. You're a good person and this only proves it's been in you all along. Perhaps before it was just buried or ignored. But you can't ignore it when people are in danger. When people need you." said Gene.

Gene grinned again.

"Thank you. I guess I'll talk to Splinter. It will be hard but I know I need to talk about this to someone else. Well I already trust you so I suppose I've already spoken to someone I trust." said Gene.

Gene grinned.

"Of course I have to thank you. You've done so much for all of us already. Shelter, food, and you're a good friend." said Gene.

He grinned as Critic hugged him back.

Linkara's Room:

Kim grinned.

"Thanks. Maybe you could teach me how to make some of this stuff. I never realized how much I depended on Wade before. I can't count on him now. At least while I'm stuck here." said Kim.

Kim smirked as the topic shifted back to Linksano.

"The poor guy. I kind of got the impression he didn't have that many friends. He seems to care more about science than people. He probably doesn't even realize Magnus is interested in him." said Kim.

Kim nodded.

"You think you could use technology or magic to make Hal and Magnus look like someone else. Or at least make people not notice the resemblance to Loki." said Kim.

Kim nodded.

"Well even Linksano had to start with the basics. He might be impressed with Magnus making the effort to know that." said Kim.

Lab:

Linksano nodded.

"Yes. And the two of you also look like a Norse God Loki. He's on Ask That Guy's Army. You may get mistaken for him so try to be be careful out there." said Linksano.

Linksano grinned as Magnus realized he was from the past even if it was more recent that some of the others in the army.

"Yes. I suppose your world may still be different from this one anyway. In ways we may not even realize yet. I'm from another world myself. I've gotten used to living in this one though." said Linksano.

Linksano grinned.

"I'm glad. I could always use more friends. I have a few friends but I guess I was more happy inventing things than making friends." said Linksano.

Linksano blushed a bit at the compliment. No one had called him adorable before. He liked that.

"Well thank you again." said Linksano.

He was starting to calm down now. Hearing Magnus's apology helped some.

"It's ok. I forgive you. Everyone has a bad day. But like I said I'm not a people person." said Linksano.

Linksano shrugged at that.

"Maybe. But I doubt it. Perhaps it's best to just focus on science and the few friendships I have." said Linksano.

Linksano grinned at Magnus.

"I'd love to hear some of your stories." said Linksano.

Bedroom:

Mike chuckled as well.

"Maybe I am." said Mike.

He grinned as Sherlock agreed what a great match they were.

"I'm glad you agree." said Mike.

Mike nodded.

"Well I guess our worlds are just connected somehow. I mean how else would you explain people being cast for parts that look just like their characters? Or people in Hollywood are secretly psychic or something." said Mike.

He nodded.

"I suppose it would be safer fo4r him to stay there. But if he does show up here he could help Mrs. Potts be the medical staff here. We don't have that many doctors here so that would be a useful position. If he showed up that is." said Mike.

Mike smirked at Sherlock's words.

"Yes it certainly would have been." said Mike.

Mike smiled glad Sherlock wasn't mad at him anymore.

"Right. I'll remember that." said Mike.

Mike grinned as Sherlock was pleased about them spending time together.

"I'm really glad to hear that. You know couples don't get to spend as much time in this army as they should. We should schedule date nights or something. Even if it's just eating dinner and watching a movie here. Everyone deserves time to unwind for a bit." said Mike.

Mike watched as Mike said she was more overweight than the film said.

"Does that really matter? So they made her weigh less in the film version? She's still pretty beautiful. Well not as beautiful as you of course." said Mike.

[Nostalgia Critic]

(OCC: I know this is just a plot device that is eventually never gonna happen 'cause of magnus' eventual capture, but I do like that we are bringing this up about Hal, Magnus, Loki and James all looking alike being a problem. That said, I couldn't help but claim these characters despite the actor, they're all good characters)

Critic's Room

"Well the future doesn't tend to be predictable Gene. But whatever Grimhilde wishes for her third and it leaves you open, maybe one of us can take you in.... Maybe I can take you in? That way I'd use my wish to help you be set free. Kind of like Aladdin with Genie" Critic suggested as Gene explained that although he wasn't always a victim of evil masters, a majority of his time was spent with those type of people. Which made the critic feel even worse.

Critic couldn't help but grin as Gene defended him, saying it didn't matter how Critic was before, that he changed or was always good but never had a chance to show it until this war. Which, at least to critic, was both a pro and a con. Critic breathed, taking the compliment and responded humbly "You know what. You're a great kid Gene. Thank you"

"And I appreciate that you trust me, but seriously, maybe talk to someone you trust completely before trusting someone indefinitely. Whatever floats your boat, Gene" Critic responded as Gene responded Critic himself was someone he trusted. The adult human couldn't help but feel enamored of how this duck child could still be kind after all he been through. He then grinned as he was hugged and replied to Gene "You're welcome Gene. I've been trying to make up for some stuff I did. I'm glad I am"

Linkara's Room

"No. Unfortunately you can't. And it wasn't easy to be taught how to do this but I think I can do well teaching someone. Well, for the most part, be forewarned I may be a bit strict but I usually am patient" Linkara admitted when Kim asked him to teach her how to make weaponry for herself. He was more than happy to, for someone who could help him/herself was someone who was useful. Then they got back to Linksano and he frowned a bit more "Yeah, but hopefully he'll come around. What I think is that Linksano needs some gentle pushing, like development, because if magnus pushes him too hard, he'll get scared off"

"Maybe... But I doubt it. I mean yes we have a lot of technology and magic but a lot of cloning or changing one's looks is hard" Linkara replied, throwing the idea off, but Kim did bring up a good idea to be fair. He didn't mind the possibility. "That is true. Linksano does always appreciate effort" Linkara responded about magnus and linksano.

"Noted. Will do doctor. I'll keep my profile low" Magnus said, without any sarcasm. Considering he was travelling through time by this point, being similar to a outer god suddenly didn't sound so stupid. It was definitely the weirdest thing but he could never be so cynical anymore. Well for the most part. He then nodded about changing times "Yeah who knows. I might freak out over objects or shows that didn't exist during my time. I guess I'll have to find out. It's pretty cool if you think about it hard enough" He then smiled a bit, realizing that rushing was actually bad for both him AND linksano. Small conversations was actually better than he thought.

"Hey not everyone can be a social butterfly. It's ok doctor. I'm glad we can be friends though, it'll be nice to get to know someone who has quite a lot of intelligence" Magnus continued to smile, and smiled wider as Linksano blushed, finding that incredibly cute. "My pleasure doctor. It is kind of true. You are adorable" He chuckled softly. Then he nodded "I'm glad you forgive me. I'm still sorry though. Maybe I can make it up to you somehow. Like listening to one of your rants on science or help you with something?"

"Hey don't lose hope. There's someone out there for everyone, including people who don't get out much. It is good to focus on your current friendships but it's always good to keep a open mind" Magnus WAS definitely saying this for his own benefit but it was also for Linksano's benefit too. If he wasn't romantically interested, Magnus would still say this. Because, as he said, he did believe everyone could find someone. Sure he wasn't a "love at first sight" type and more of a "start with physical then progress" but linksano was teaching him to be patient. In more ways than one. He then grinned about the officer stories "Wanna hear one now doctor or do you wish to continue explaining your inventions to me? Either way I am alright"

Sherlock couldn't help but chuckle at Mike's responses that he was both glad Sherlock agreed they were a good couple, and the fact that he acknowledged being bias. Mike was too adorable for the detective sometimes. He then nodded in agreement to Mike's theory that perhaps their worlds were either connected or the Hollywood industry was physic. He liked the former theory "Quite a impressive amount of thought you brought onto this, dear mike" He held Mike closer to him, his hand around mike's shoulder and he kissed the top of mike's head. He couldn't help but express his love both with affectionate and physical attributes.

"Yes he would do excellent in the medical bay. However I concur that it's safer for him to stay at London. It really is" Sherlock did miss his best friend, but he would never forgive himself if he dared let him be in harms way around this war. He continued the film as he and mike continued to talk "Yes, as you should, for my work takes a lot of preparation" He was obviously teasing, as evident with his tone.

"I completely agree. A splendid idea. Perhaps we should talk to the Critic about this. Even he deserves some breaks with his loved one, if he has one that is" Sherlock responded about scheduling dates. He then realized, as mike was talking, that his harshness on her was too much. After all the actress playing her wasn't Mary, sure she was someone he didn't like but he couldn't possibly blame the actress. "I agree. She, along with the real mary, is incredibly beautiful" Maybe that's why Watson was so obsessed with leaving the house Sherlock thought to himself.

Then the movie progress as Sherlock showed Mary his abilities on Watson, which Mary was impressed with but responded that the main reason he did this so well on Watson was because he and Watson knew each other. Which caused Mary to challenge Sherlock to observe her. Despite Watson and holmes protesting, Mary insisted. Sherlock, as he watched the film, sighed softly, looked down to see mike pay attention and Sherlock tried not to get annoyed for worrying he might spoil this and give mike a bias. The film, meanwhile, showed Sherlock realizing Mary was a governess and that she was once engaged and that, in theory, Mary left him for Watson under the assumption Watson was more famous/rich.

"You were engaged, the ring is gone, and it is possible that your fiancé wasn't to your liking and you left him for other prospects... A Dr. perhaps"

This in turn caused Mary to turn and throw a large glass of wine on Sherlock, soaking him completely in wine. Mary then responded "Well done except for one thing... I didn't leave him. He died" Then she left along with Watson who sarcastically congratulated Sherlock. Leaving him completely alone to eat. Sherlock looked down at Mike and chuckled "I deserved this now that I think about it. It was rather judgmental of me to assume she only cared about Watson only for his fame. It was not fair to her"

Then suddenly it cut to Sherlock brawling with a large man. Men shouted, Sherlock was seen fighting and then it lead to Sherlock being shown in the film completely shirtless, sweaty and bleeding slightly. Sherlock blushed instantly "Um. It appears they realized I knew how to brawl"

[Gene The Genie]

Critic's Room:

Gene nodded.

"I guess you're right about that. I just worry what will happen to my lamp. I mean usually it's years between masters. But well I'm not in my dimension so I don't know if the rules are different. But usually my lamp disappears so a new master can find me. But with this war I fear of what if my new master ends up being in one of the other armies? I don't want to fight against any of you especially my friends." said Gene.

Gene grinned at the praise bit but it was a bittersweet grin all the same. He'd rarely gotten praise but he still craved praise.

"Thank you Critic." said Gene.

He nodded.

"I'll try. I've just tried to forget about it for years. But little things just bring them all back. Certain words, or objects. Even smells. Sometimes I wake up terrified. Sometimes I remember my dreams and sometimes I'm don't." said Gene.

He smiled at him.

"I know you are. Everyone's done things they're not proud of. But you're doing good now and that's what's important." said Gene.

Linkara's Room:

Kim grinned.

"Good to know. Well even if I could learn how to make basic stuff it'd help. After all you and the others have other projects so you can't always be creating new stuff for me all the time." said Kim.

She shrugged.

"I'm afraid that may happen. I mean has he even dated much? It seems to me his first love is science. And also what if he's straight? I mean I'd feel bad if Magnus kept pursuing this and Linksano only liked women." said Kim.

She shrugged again.

"I guess it's something to think about anyway. I mean even if it only lasted a few hours it'd be good for them to use in battles or when they're out in public." said Kim.

She nodded.

"It wouldn't hurt to try. Even if they just remain as friends it'd be something. Everyone deserves to have a lot of friends." said Kim.

Lab:

Linksano nodded.

"Good. I wouldn't want anything to happen to you." said Linksano.

Linksano shrugged.

"I guess so. I've been here a few years now. My world was pretty similar to this with minor differences so I was able to adjust better than most of the people in this war. But if you ever need help with anything let me know. I'd be happy to assist." said Linksano.

Linksano listened to Magnus and smiled at him.

"Thank you for being so understanding. I haven't met anyone like you before. And I'm glad we can be friends too." said Linksano.

He blushed a bit as he called him adorable again.

"Well thank you for that." said Linksano.

Linksano smiled at him.

"It's water under the bridge. You don't have to make it up to me. And I don't rant about science." said Linksano.

Okay maybe he did but he wasn't going to admit that. He sighed as Magnus tried to give him hope but Linksano shook his head.

"I've tried so many times. But I'm tired of trying. I've thought about this for awhile. I'm just too smart for most people. I'd either bore them or they wouldn't find me attractive. And the ones who are smart like me would probably choose someone else anyway. Giving up just seems like the best option. Why go through with more dating when you know it'll just end in my heartache?" said Linksano.

He grinned to him.

"I'd love to hear some stories. My explanatations can wait." said Linksano.

Bedroom:

Mike grinned.

"Then again for all we know the worlds have spun off from this one somehow. Perhaps Hollywood has some kind of magic they're not aware. I mean if every movie and tv show in this world somehow has its own universe elsewhere it has to be more than just a coincidence." said Mike.

Mike grinned snuggling closer to Sherlock as he felt him kiss his head. He smiled at him.

"True. Still it'd be nice to have other doctors here. Splinter's still recovering. Marzgurl is still learning herself and she's also one of the generals. So she can't always be there. It's usually Mrs. Potts aside from volunteers. We really need more medical staff here." said Mike.

Mike grinned at Sherlock's teasing.

"Then I'll have to remember to leave you alone so you can prepare next time." said Mike.

Mike nodded.

"We'll make a schedule or something so people can be on guard duty here. So people can have time off to date or just relax." said Mike.

Mike smiled as Sherlock complimented Mary and the actress.

"Not too beautiful right?" asked Mike, trying not to sound jealous.

Mike watched and nodded.

"Well even you can make mistakes. Did you ever make things right with her?" asked Mike.

Mike watched in amusement as the movie started filming him fighting and Mike crossed his legs realizing how much he was getting into the film.

"Yes. They showed your prowess. Fighting and other wise." said Mike.

(OCC: I'm both laughing and feeling bad for Linksano. Magnus and him will eventually end up together and he doesn't even know it. And nobody else does either cause of his naivety XD)

Critic's Room

"Gene. Nothing is going to happen to you. If you get missing, I'll find you. Or someone here will. You're not going anywhere. Not if I can help it" Critic insisted, a determined grin on his features. He was aware of Gene's concern but didn't want the poor duck child to worry so much. He felt he needed to enjoy himself, not be forced to stress about his future over and over again.

"You're welcome" Critic replied. He then frowned sadly as Gene said he suffered dreams that he'd sometimes remember and had troubles with things because of his masters. Critic leaned and gently patted the genie duck's back "Hey. It's hard. I understand. I've suffered some problems trying to forget my problems too"

He then listened as Gene said that he was making up for his mistakes. Not a lot of people acknowledged that. Critic was surprised yet incredibly flattered. He blushed and patted the duck's head "I appreciate it. I really do. I'm glad"

Linkara's Room

"Oh you creating basic stuff would be a HUGE deal. Starting small is what gets people to be professionals. We can work as soon as we can. Yeah we can't always work your stuff out but we're trying" Linkara agreed. He really enjoyed Kim wanting to help out. Hell the whole army was willing to help. That was a big plus. All the solders, one way or another, had a sense of loyalty to this team. Most of them anyway. Sure some weren't too loyal but that was either for sympathetic reasons or force.

"He's been single for a very long time. But, and don't tell anyone I told you this, but I do think Linksano's bi. He's just lonely and not sure of himself. But I see it, I do think if Magnus tries hard enough, Linksano will loosen up" Linkara replied. He then nodded at her idea about looks "Yeah you're right. It's worth thinking about definitely"

"It's worth a try but if it doesn't work, that's what happens but I do hope they do end up together" Linkara replied

Magnus blushed slightly as Linksano replied he didn't want anything bad to happen to him. He felt a sense of relief when Linksano said that but he only responded "Thank you doctor. I wouldn't want anything to happen to you either" He then nodded as Linksano said if he needed help adjusting to just give Linksano a heads up. Magnus nodded "I think I'll be okay but I still appreciate it. Thank you very much"

"Me too Doctor" Magnus replied honestly. Although he was disappointed, Magnus was still content that the two of them were indeed positive around another. Magnus would rather be friends than having to chase someone who couldn't stand him. He'd much rather have positive outlooks than bad ones. He then chuckled as Linksano thanked him for his compliment of calling him adorable. He then chuckled again as Linksano made specific denial about ranting about science "Of course doctor. My apologies"

"Oh come on. Let's not get cynical now. Forget those past failures. You never know. Look I've had past failures too. We all had past failures. Don't get like that. If people don't appreciate your intelligence or who you are, that's their problem" Magnus replied. He was admittedly hurt as Linksano flat out rejected the idea. But Magnus was just as stubborn as Linksano seemed to be. That and the detective didn't want to be rejected when he DID decide to be with the scientist.

"Well alright then. Best I start with a favorite" Magnus replied, clearing his throat. "OK. So there was a terrorist in england. So me and wallander went off to figure it out. We packed our bags and everything... He wasn't so pleased and admittedly neither was I. But it was for different reasons, he didn't want to deal with this case cause it was related to endangered women. I just didn't want to get up early" He chuckled, waiting for linksano's reaction

"That is a incredibly astute observation, my love. Incredibly astute" Sherlock said, incredibly pleased with Mike's words. He found himself infatuated even more with the younger man. Mike, to put it lightly, was incredibly intelligent. Sure he was before but it seemed two people with equally big minds made it somehow even bigger. He grinned as Mike got even closer, and this caused Sherlock to kiss his forehead, temple and cheek even more than he was.

"We do. We do need more medical. I, and poor Mrs. Potts, can only do so much" Sherlock agreed. He hoped someone, anyone, would know how to heal completely and take a league. Thankfully people were helpful otherwise there would be a LOT of injured people still. Injuries and sicknesses would be much more rampant if not for volunteers.

Sherlock then heard mike tease that maybe he should leave him alone. "Now, now. Let us not be that prepared and cautious. Even I could use a break and be social" Sherlock kissed mike gently after saying that. He knew the other was teasing but if sherlock wasn't careful, the teasing could become very serious. And he didn't want that.

Sherlock nodded and hummed his agreement about scheduling and dates. Then the movie continued and he then heard Mike's question about Mary's actress. He raised a eyebrow and began laughing "Why mike stone, do I detect jealousy in your voice?" Oh like sherlock wasn't before just making snippy comments about mary just because she was with his best friend. He then shook his head at him "No, darling, no one can be. You are the most beautiful person here"

"Yes. I did. She is surprisingly very forgiving" Sherlock sighed "I give her that at least" He then watched shocked as the film was actually very focused on his fighting. He saw how descriptive it was and that he was admittedly losing at first. As the bigger man punched him, that was when he looked down to see Mike... surprisingly bothered as seen with mike crossing his legs. Sherlock didn't take long to realize what mike was feeling and blushed even more. "Yes. Very accurate to my fighting style. It was just a, well, um, a hot room" He knew it wouldn't help. He then saw the big man spit in the back of his head and sherlock hummed displeasure.

He then saw himself explain his plan to observe the man's weaknesses, attacking the jaw, chest, ribs and area. Making a total of a six-week physical recovery and six-month mental recovery. Then it resumed to normal time and repeated itself. He then saw the film's extras react with shock and disbelief. Even one shouting "Where'd THAT come from?!"

[Gene The Genie]

Critic's Room:

Gene sighed listening to him.

"I have very low expectations. Can't get disappointed if you don't hope or dream. I've learned to know my place and follow orders. It's three wishes then back to my portable prison. If one of them gets my lamp well I'd have t do whatever they wanted." said Gene.

Gene smiled as Critic tried to assure him.

"It's nice to talk to someone about some of this. I don't know if I could ever really go into details. I think if I had three wishes I'd ask to forget my evil masters. To undo what spells and pain they've caused me. And to one day be a real boy. But that's not going to happen." said Gene.

Gene grinned glad he'd pleased Critic was happy.

"I'm glad. I guess we've helped each other some today." said Gene.

Linkara's Room:

Kim grinned.

"Good. I want to help. I mean I'm not a tech expert so I'd have to learn how to do most of this stuff. Even if it's just weapons I want to help." said Kim.

Kim paused listening as he talked about Linksano.

"The poor guy. I know what it's like to be unlucky in love. I tried dating but between school, being a cheerleader, and being a spy relationships never really worked out. Not before Ron anyway. I do hope those two get together but maybe Linksano just needs a friend right now. If Magnus pushes too hard he could risk offending Linksano or making him mad." said Kim.

Kim grinned.

"Perhaps we should get Linksano to be more social. Whether or not he ends up with Magnus he tends to spend a lot of time in the labs. All of you do really. Maybe you guys should make shifts or something so you guys get days off or at least half days one day and a full day the next. I know we need more weapons and gadgets and things. But it's not going to help anyone if you guys burn yourselves out. You guys need rest, and to have fun once and awhile especially Linksano." said Kim.

Lab:

Linksano paused as Magnus blushed as he found it was adorable. He then wondered where that thought had come from. He brushed it aside focusing on Magnus as he was speaking.

"I'm glad to hear that. We just need to take better care of ourselves." said Linksano.

Linksano nodded.

"Ok. I'm always here to help." said Linksanl.

Linksano smiled as Magnus tried to stop him from giving up.

"I appreciate the gesture but I'm quitting now. I've had my heart broken enough times already. There's only so much pain you can take you know. I fear one day my heart will just be broken and I won't be able to piece it back together again. So it's better to walk away from dating now with my heart intact. I'd rather live a loveless life than a heartbroken one. Besides, I still have science and good friends like you." said Linksano.

Linksano took a seat as Magnus began telling one of his stories. It sounded fascinating so far.

"Then what happened?" asked Linksano.

Bedroom:

Mike nodded.

"I guess we'll never really know for sure. Anything we come up with will just be theories we can't prove." said Mike.

Mike grinned as Sherlock kissed his temple and forehead as Mike leaned in closer to him. He smiled as Sherlock agreed they needed more medical staff.

"I know Marzgurl's been helping out some but she's not really trained. And we've all pitched in when we could. But perhaps we should start training people to be medics." said Mike.

Mike grinned as Sherlock said he could use breaks and be social and kissed him. He knew Sherlock knew he was teasing but he was glad to hear it just the same.

"Good. I suppose I can't really work with you much in the labs anymore. I wouldn't want to distract you and risk blowing up the house or something." teased Mike.

Mike then blushed as Sherlock realized he was jealous.

"I guess I am a little." said Mike.

He pouted seeing Sherlock laugh at him and glared at him. His glare faded as he blushed again at Sherlock's compliments.

"You really think I'm that beautiful?" asked Mike.

Mike was glad he had made peace with Watson's fiancee.

"That's good." said Mike.

He paused realizing Sherlock noticed causing Mike to blush really red now. Of course, Sherlock would notice. He was one of the most observant people int he army.

"It certainly is. Vey accurate indeed." said Mike.

Mike watched as Sherlock defeated him with ease as Mike chuckled.

"You were toying with the man the whole time weren't you? The poor man never stood a chance." said Mike.

[Nostalgia Critic]

Critic's Room

Critic frowned but shrugged a little at Gene's rather negative response. "I hear you, Gene. I did that myself a couple times. It's hard to hope. It's even harder to do something when you feel like you can't. But that doesn't mean having hope makes you bad or makes it pointless. Hope gives you something good at the end" Critic shrugged again. He couldn't expect to completely change the child's point of view. It was understandable the way Gene felt.

"Don't say that. You don't know that. Fate isn't predicted by anyone, not even magical beings. At least that's what I've been told" Critic said cautiously, worried he might make Gene annoyed or angry. "You don't have to tell people everything you've been through. Just enough to have people give you something to help yourself is all. If you feel too personal about some things that's okay" He replied, he wanted to let Gene know he didn't have to open up to everything. That was too much to ask for.

"I guess so, gene. I guess so" Critic said with a smile

Linkara's Room

"And you can, volunteering is already a start to being helpful" Linkara replied with a grin as Kim thanked him for giving her the chance to help. Honestly, they needed all the help they could get. He then nodded about Kim's point about Magnus and Linksano being together and that magnus needed to be careful "You have a point. I know Linksano and if pushed too hard he immediately pushes away. When we started working together I tried to question him about his weapons which lead to a small conversation about our pasts. He got mad at me because I joked about him being called doctor brosano. It was too soon to be close at that time. He got over it but still. It's not right to push buttons with him"

"We're definitely planning on making organized shifts. This war isn't stopping anytime soon. You're right. Linksano, like the rest of us, needs a break. We need more organization with our time if we're gonna win this" Linkara replied to her with a knowing look. Kim had a point. If they were too tired to do anything, they'd lose immediately because of their fatigue.

"You're absolutely right, doctor. We need to be in ship shape if this.... war is going to progress" Magnus said with a evident distaste in his mouth. War. War sounded awful. Especially since innocent lives apparently were incredibly involved. He then grinned as Linksano replied that he was always here to help "Hey. If you need help for anything at all, you're free to talk to me too Doctor" He replied, with a evident friendly smile.

"Whoever broke your heart probably didn't deserve you anyway. Why give up based on people who didn't know good people when they saw them?" Magnus asked despite himself. He paused and sighed softly "Sorry doctor. I shouldn't be barging into your business. I understand. It's not easy looking for people" He didn't give up on the doctor but he knew if he kept pushing, the doctor might freak out again. And maybe not forgive magnus the next time. He responded "I think it's not right for you to give up but you are in charge of what you do. I apologize if I pushed"

"Well the terrorist we were sent to search for had three girls. One of them were pretty young, around sixteen I think, and he screamed for a price of a million dollars in exchange for their lives. As he kept ranting, Wallander behind his back clicked his gun and called for the terrorist to come over. The terrorist was actually pretty stupid and did, shoving one of the girls down on the ground with a gun to her head as he did. I got a little antsy and demanded him to let the girl go then he aimed it at me" Magnus continued the story. He looked down with a evident blush "Quite a scary bastard he was. Aiming the gun at me. That was the first time I handled a criminal to do that to me"

"And we shouldn't be dealing with theories that aren't proved" Sherlock agreed with Mike as they talked about certain theories. He then nodded at the idea of training people to be medics "That's a good idea. Marzgurl may be helpful but she needs to have a lot of idea of what's she's doing. Otherwise, her attempts could lead to something bad" He was being honest. Medics who had no idea what to do ended up doing stupid stuff.

"I am not that easily distracted!" Sherlock said with a amused grin, he chuckled a bit. He knew Mike was teasing a bit but Sherlock's ego did want to defend itself. He then chuckled more at Mike's confession that he was in fact jealous "No need to be jealous of other people dear. You won't have to worry about my attention. It will always be on you" He then nodded with a very loving smile "More beautiful than anyone I've known" He then nodded about the fight progressing and Mike's comment.

"Ah but alas I have been caught red-handed" Sherlock said with a shit-eating grin. He then turned to loud screaming from the next scene of hysteric prisoners. He saw the guards rescue another guard who was choking. Sherlock rolled his eyes "Obviously acting. He was actually arrested for being a enabler of Blackwood's deeds. His greed overran his need to finish his duty" He then rolled his eyes again as blackwood responded that he wanted to see Sherlock as his last request.
