Long Lasting (Stone)

[Sherlock Holmes]

(OCC: March 10th, Morning. Sherlock and Stone thread)

The detective slept easily this morning thanks to the final chapter to his conflict of interest when it came to romance. Stone was now combined with wayne and the detective honestly couldn't be happier. He woke up rather early but cheerfully, deliberately making a delicious toast and egg breakfast to ensure stone's happiness with a cup of coffee. He hoped his efforts made Stone know how much he adored him. He never thought he would be doing such ridiculous things but he was and he was actually loving it. He didn't do it for just stone's approval, he did it to make Stone pleased and content. The combined stone/wayne was officially someone Sherlock was more than determined to love and please. He turned to hear footsteps and Sherlock smiled caringly.

[Detective Mike Stone]

Mike yawned as he woke up. He frowned the warmth gone as he realized Sherlock was gone. They had shared a room for awhile now. And while they hadn't done much besides kiss he had gotten used to sharing a bed with him and cuddling. But Sherlock did have a habit of getting up early so he was used to this. He yawned again as he got up. He quickly changed into a black tanktop and a pair of khaki shorts. He then dumped his dirty clothes in the hamper in the hall as he made his way to the stairs. He began to smell something figuring Brock or Mrs. Potts was probably up and cooking. Mike made his way downstairs and paused seeing it was Sherlock who was cooking. This surprised him and yet he couldn't help but grin at the sight. He walked in with a grin kissing Sherlock on the cheek and glancing at the food.

"Well this is a surprise. No wonder you were out of bed. I just thought you were out thinking or working on some theory like you usually do. Guess my deductions were a bit off today." said Mike.

He chuckled as he glanced at Sherlock. He wasn't sure why was he lucky to have him but he wasn't going to screw this up. He grinned.

"Thank you. This looks delicious. Is it done yet? asked Mike.

[Sherlock Holmes]

"Well my dear, sometimes you change the routine. Only you will I ever do this for" He grinned, allowing mike to kiss his cheek and looked over Stone's body and face as the younger man stood next to him. Such amazing and wonderful physique and such a incredibly perfect personality. Heaven blessed me Sherlock thought with a smile as he continued to work on the food. Admittedly he learned to cook ever since being in disguise as a chef for a couple of cases, so his food skills were surprisingly good. He turned as Mike actually asked if it was ready, he nodded and responded caringly "Yes. You are just in time. Just take a seat and I will give it to you" He allowed Mike to take his seat and he gave out the eggs for Mike, then he took the pan and other items away to clean later. He then turned to see the toast ready, and he grabbed that and gave it to mike, giving him a few kisses across the cheek caringly. He turned on the coffee machine, despite his confusion with it, and allowed it to settle.

"The coffee might take slightly longer. In the meantime I wish to chat now that you are awake, did you sleep alright my dear?" Sherlock asked with a hint of flirtiness. He knew how the man slept, which was perfectly fine and next to him which was what sherlock wanted, but he still felt like asking mike. Their normal sleeping arrangement was, as mike said, Sherlock would get up first and either think in the living room or work on a theory in the lab and mike would either join him or distract him. Today though, Sherlock just felt extra loving today.

[Detective Mike Stone]

Mike grinned at him.

"Oh so this is a special treat huh? Guess I shouldn't tell anyone about your great cooking then. Wouldn't want anyone to be jealous." said Mike.

He was teasing him slightly although he had a feeling Sherlock was a great cook. When Sherlock chose to do something he didn't stop halfway. He either did it completely or gave up on it. His stomach grumbled a bit at the smell of food as he blushed. He sat at the table waiting for the food.

"That's good. I guess I'm hungrier than I thought." said Mike, still blushing a little.

He grinned as Sherlock gave him some food and kissed him on the cheek. Mike gave him a quick peck on the cheek in return before Sherlock went off to get the coffee. Mike grinned taking a bite.

"These are delicious. I've never had my eggs taste like this before. Think you could teach me the recipe sometime or is that one of those cooking detective secrets?" said Mike.

He took another bite of his eggs as Sherlock said the coffee would take awhile. He nodded.

"That makes sense. I'd enjoy chatting with you too. I slept great. I think you've spoiled me though. I don't think I could get to sleep without sleeping next to you anymore." said Mike.

He paused realizing he hadn't brought anything to drink. He got up pouring himself a glass of orange juice turning to Sherlock.

"Do you want one too? I love coffee but I like to have something to drink with hot food. Even if it's just water." said Mike.

[Sherlock Holmes]

Sherlock smiled, sensing Mike was teasing him and nodded slightly "Yes. I only want to do it for you anyway, best keep it a secret shall we?" He chuckled softly, seeing his younger love sit down on the table and smiled brightly as the man had his stomach growl and blush at it. He was just so cute when embarrassed. He smiled as Mike kissed him back on the cheek and responded he was hungry. Good, hopefully mike would enjoy this. He turned to see the coffee still needing to be ready when Mike was seen eating his food and enjoying it. He relished in the praise but gave a eyebrow raise at Mike's question of the recipe being allowed to share or was it a secret, Sherlock in response responded "A detective always keeps his skills to himself lovely, even if the subject is extemely trustworthy. That said, perhaps I can change the rules and allow you to know how to cook the way I do, that way we can have more fun" He kissed Mike's cheek all the way to his jawline as Mike continued to talk.

He laughed slightly as Mike said he was spoiling him and that he can't go to sleep without him "And that is precisely what I wanted from you with our sleeping arrangements. Besides, I am not spoiling you, you're too precious to be spoiled" He then saw Mike go to get orange juice to also drink and offer him one also. With a smile and a small nod he said "Thank you darling. That would be lovely"

[Detective Mike Stone]

Mike grinned.

"Alright. It'll be our secret." said Mike.

He hadn't expected him to cook at all. He was touched Sherlock was cooking for him. Maybe he should do something to return the favor like cooking for him the next day. He kept eating as he listened. He chuckled at Sherlocks' response.

"I'm glad. I'd love to learn this recipe. Maybe we could cook together next time." said Mike.

He smiled as Sherlock kissed him as his food was almost forgotten for a moment. He chuckled as Sherlock said his sleeping arrangements were his plan. And he was too precious to be spoiled. Mike blushed at the compliment. He nodded when Sherlock said he wanted juice. He got another glass for him filling it up as he put the juice back in the fridge. He brought the two glasses over to the table giving a glass to sherlock as he put the other next to his own plate as he sat down. He took a sip and grinned before he resumed eating.

"So what's on the agenda today? Working on battle plans again?" asked Mike.

[Sherlock Holmes]

Sherlock was glad Stone caught his flirting, it was different than many other types of flirting, he was admittedly obvious but the talk he gave for stone was more based on how he spoke about a case but he had a affectionate tone. Sherlock nodded at the suggestion to cook together "Sounds like a excellient idea mike. I would absolutely love it" He smiled as Stone blushed and smiled back at him because of his compliments and was a bit grateful for the juice. He took the juice gratefully and sat next to Stone as he asked him a question. He responded with a simple smile "Yes. Unfortunately the army here needs more attacks on Facilier's forces instead of Ask Thatguy's" He sneered at the mention of Facilier "The bastard has done so much damage to us more than Ask Thatguy. It is quite the shock that ATG was the one who started the whole war when Facilier has done more war damage than him" He sighed, holding Stone's hand "I am determined to make sure this army functions. But I wanted you to help me"

[Detective Mike Stone]

Mike grinned at him.

"Thanks. I'm not the best cook but at least I don't burn things. Although between you and Brock I think I'm spoiled with such good cooking." said Mike.

He paused listening to Sherlock and nodded.

"Yes. Another thing is I think we need to make occasional sweeps of this place. They've gotten into this house several times past our security and even planted traps or bugs. We need to make sure any future plans we make aren't being spied upon by Ask That Guy or Facilier." said Mike.

He paused with a grin as he said more attacks needed to be done to Facilier's army. And then he'd need Mike's help. He nodded as he kept eating. He swallowed his latest bite of food and spoke again to Sherlock.

"Of course I'll help you. I just had an idea. Facilier's army betrayed Ask That Guy's. And you know what they say the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Perhaps we could form an alliance with Ask That Guy's even a temporary one. Facilier wouldn't expect a joint attack from both armies like this. If it's planned properly we could really hurt Facilier's army a bit. Maybe damage their base or hurt some of their strongest members. But there is one thing I won't do and that's harm a child. If there are any children in Facilier's army then we should lock them in a closet or something so they won't get hurt." said Mike.

He knew it might be a long shot and if the kids were clever enough they could escape any trap or be freed by their own allies in Facilier's army but he didn't want any of the kids to be hurt if they could help it.

[Sherlock Holmes]

Sherlock chuckled, amused with Stone's assumption that he was being spoiled by him and brock's good cooking. He was flattered that Stone enjoyed it and he grinned as Mike ate as the two chatted. He then gave a impressed and easily agreeable smile. Sherlock responded "A excellient idea! If we check our security fuctions and check to see if there are no viruses or bugs in them, we can improve so much more. Sweeps sounds extremely good by this point!" Stone was always so smart. At least to Sherlock he was. He saw Mike eat and realized soon he had to eat too but the detective was more focused on his boyfriend rather than his appetite.

He then pondered about mike's idea of a ask thatguy alliance, a temporary one but a alliance that was indeed very risky. The detective pondered, as good as the idea was, sherlock had a bad feeling critic wouldn't be up to it. Though keeping enemies closer was something sherlock knew about and studied and normally it went well or went successfully for the protagionist's plan. Sherlock breathed and smiled softly "I think your ideas to help our army are very intelligent dear mike. That said, I fear our leader might not agree to this. For one thing he and Ask thatguy are sworn enemies who hate each other, they'd kill each other rather than work together. I suggest we talk and explain your idea before we immediately agree to it" He then nodded about the adults as well as the children in the other armies. "If we do a joint attack, I agree that we simply go for the adults. Children should not even be in the war, we cannot risk their lives. We should invent a object that will keep them out of the way"

He then smiled, deviously "I say Mike, this plan of yours is most dangerous and appealing. I quite enjoy it! The life of a thrill is coming back to me"

[Detective Mike Stone]

Mike smiled glad Sherlock agreed with sweeping for bugs.

"Perhaps we need to have Maleficent, Grimhilde, and the others create some kinda spell to cloak the house from magical spying as well. I know Grimhilde has that magic mirror. But Facilier has shadow magic. And Rita had her telescope. And who knows what other magical ways the two armies have to spy on us. Getting rid of the bugs only gets rid of part of the problem." said Mike.

He paused as Sherlock liked his idea of the alliance but it was very risky.

"Your probably right. That's why we should do it alone. Get a few of the others like Tony Stark and we don't go to Loki or the leaders. We approach other members of Ask That Guy's army for a secret alliance. If this works it will cripple Facilier's army at least and perhaps if it goes well we could wipe out some of them." I don 't really like lying to the others but we need to pay them back. Malachite killed Ma-Ti. Ask That Guy's army kidnapped Jasmine though so we can't let our guards down too much. Or one of us could be next." said Mike.

He didn't really like lying to Critic and the others but if this plan worked he knew it would benefit the army in the long run. He nodded glad Sherlock agreed to attack the adults only.

"There is someone else. We must make sure not to hurt Leonardo and Gi too badly. And anyone else we suspect is brainwashed. Ma-Ti's gone but I owe it to him to try to save Gi if I can. He was a good friend." said Mike.

He grinned at Sherlock's idea saying it was appealing and the thrill was coming back to him. He grinned.

"Thanks. Glad I have this effect on you. Who should we consider for our team? I know Tony would come of course. We could just say we're having a training session or something but if we take too many people it would make people suspicious." said Mike.

[Sherlock Holmes]

"Yes, we do not know what efforts of magic the other side has. Best we do get Grimhilde and Maleficent, as well as Linkara. Linkara is extremely trustworthy with this sort of thing I believe" Sherlock responded in complete agreement. He may have been extremely compliant but he didn't care, he believed Mike's idea would really work. He wanted to help Stone succeed in any possible way.

"Lying to Critic did not go well for the army before but we have no choice. Critic's stubborness causes him to act rashly. It is best we work together, get tony stark and some others. At succeeding this we hurt facilier, at failure we hurt ourselves. I wish to join this risk. But let us plan this slowly, since going too quick might result in miscalculations" Sherlock said also about the risky alliance he and mike were talking about now. He liked the idea enough to go with it but Sherlock was anything but stupid. He knew that this could end in disaster. He then frowned at the fact that one of the other heroes could end up like jasmine. Sherlock didn't want to think that for mike. He was right though. "I will not allow it. You are right but yet I will not calculate it improperly enough to allow that" He said, putting a arm gently around mike.

"I know of the two you described to me. They've been brainwashed. As has others. Best we try to not hurt them as much also. I agree" Sherlock confirmed calmly. Then he grinned micheviously as Mike said that he was glad that he had the effect on him "You should. Very few people do" He then pondered about other people besides Stark "Perhaps Captain America, Angry Joe, Elisa and Nella?"

[Detective Mike Stone]

Mike paused listening to him.

"Yes the three of them would work. Or Willie and the Genie. But we need to be cautious who we ask. Critic's my friend but we're all pretty close. The reviewers anyway. And while Critic's gone at bit crazy and betrayed us in the past. We haven't really betrayed him. Well not recently." said Mike.

He paused remembering the Kickassia fiasco. Critic had gone insane and bought dynamite. Chick had been trying to kill him. Snob had been exiled and the rest of them had been constantly plotting to kill or kick Critic out of office. Even Santa Christ had temporarily died thanks to Critic shooting him.

"I'm not sure how many of the reviewers can be trusted. Some could think this plan is wrong or tell Critic because they don't want to lie to him. I mean if Critic finds out this plan's over and we could get punished just for trying to do it without consent." said Mike.

He nodded as Sherlock agreed lying would be the best option.

"Then perhaps we keep reviewers to a minimum. Those we're sure would not rat us out and use mostly characters from other worlds like yourself." said Mike.

Mike smiled as Sherlock said he wouldn't allow it.

"We can't be sure of anything. Poor Jasmine and Ma-Ti were just part of the rescue mission. Jasmine got kidnapped and Ma-Ti he..."

Mike trailed off as he began to tear up. Even now thinking of him brought tears to his eyes. He knew they weren't supposed to talk about him but it felt like pretending he was never here. And that didn't sit right with him. He sighed wiping the tears away as he focused back on Sherlock who'd wrapped his arm around him.

"Then we'll find a way to save them. But if we can't we knock them out and take them back with us if we can." said Mike.

Mike chuckled as Mike said very few people had that effect on him.

"Well I'm glad for that. I have to share you with the rest of the army enough as it is." said Mike, teasing him a little.

He paused.

"Captain America? Isn't he the only who always follows orders? I mean would he really go with us knowing Critic doesn't know about it? As for Elisa she hates Ask That Guy and Nella recently separated from Dark Nella. So I don't think either of them would work. But Joe might." said Mike.

[Sherlock Holmes]

"Agreed. Your friend the critic is indeed close to you. We best be careful, you're right. As for willie and gene, I find them most helpful" Sherlock said in agreement. Despite his lack of knowledge of the leader, he trusted mike's word and was determined to make this more successful than what was laid out for them. He didn't want to get in trouble but especially didn't want mike and critic to be at each other's heads.

"I'm not sure myself but we should try. Let us just keep it to a minimum for now and just keep it small. Just certain reviewers that we know that are willing to try. Like joe for instance" Sherlock responded calmly to Stone's response about the reviewer side of things. "Agreed nonetheless. Less reviewers, more original characters. Sounds fine to me" Sherlock nodded as if confirming the idea. "Wait. Magnus. I talked to him not to long ago and I can see some potential in him. Maybe him also?"

Then Mike started thinking about jasmine and ma-ti. Sherlock fondly went over and wrapped his arm to pull mike closer to him. "I know darling. I know. We can't be too sure but we can't be negative either. I promise I'll make sure things are safe for us" He started giving little kisses on mike's cheek for comfort, feeling terrible that mike was thinking negative things. He then nodded and said in a teasing voice "Ah yes. I understand sharing someone like me is extremely difficult. You're so patient and generous aren't you?"

"As for Mr. Rogers, I feel that even the most loyal can prove themselves determined to do the right thing. Yes he's normally the person who follows the rules but as linkara and I chatted about some time ago, steve rogers has been known to break rules for the sake of doing the right thing. I say we try with him" He then nodded as elisa and nella were pretty much explaining to be anything but agreeable to the idea "I understand. The both of them have understandable reasons to be against the idea, let alone be part of it" He smiled as joe was pretty much agreed on "When do you want me to talk to him? Tonight or something? Because I was intending on spending the rest of the day with you" He gave a flirty smile afterwards

[Detective Mike Stone]

Mike grinned.

"Thanks. I also think the smaller our group the better. Like a small task force. So we need strong yet loyal members to our cause. Plus the less people in our group the less suspicious people will get." said Mike.

He smiled glad Sherlock agreed with him.

"I'm glad we're in agreement. The fewer reviewers involved in this the better. But I wonder if we should let them know this isn't approved by the Critic. If we get caught I want everyone including you to say it was my idea and I said Critic and the others approved it. I don't want anyone else punished for my idea." said Mike.

Mike paused as he suggested others.

"Magnus sounds like a good idea. I think we should write letters and leave them in envelopes to the others to meet at a certain time and not give any information. That way if Critic or the others stumble upon it we can say we wanted to form a club or something." said Mike.

Mike paused as Sherlock held him and gave him a kiss. He blushed at being called darling. He smiled at him.

"Thanks. I'm just glad that didn't happen to you. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you. Promise me you'll be careful." said Mike.

Mike chuckled as Sherlock said it was difficult to share him and Mike nodded and chuckled.

"Yes I suppose I am." said Mike.

He paused as Sherlock spoke about Steve.

"Alright. If you think Steve is trustworthy enough we'll invite him. I do think the Winchester brothers would be a good idea too. They've fought demons. And if we end up going against Facilier, Rita, or others we could use their expertise." said Mike.

Mike smiled glad Sherlock agreed to not get Elisa and Nella involved. He grinned as Sherlock asked when to talk to him.

"Let's do my idea with the letters and get everyone to meet at once. I want today to be about us. Let's put our plan on hold and make the notes and deliver them tonight. For now let's just hang out together. I don't get to see you as much as I'd like so I'm going to be selfish for once and hog you for the day." said Mike.

He grinned leaning forward and pulled Sherlock into a passionate kiss.

[Sherlock Holmes]

"Agreed. Having few people will mean less chance of getting caught. I rather would have a loyal group than a large one. I think we can settle for that indeed" Sherlock replied, smiling as Mike started smiling. He was glad mike was happy with the idea. Risky as it was, Sherlock lived for the face of danger. He was used to the feeling and what better way to get into danger by getting into a cause that was good as well as dangerous?

"As much as I want to make sure no-one gets caught, but if we ever do, I'll be damned to let you completely take the fault. I will confess it openly. I refuse to let you suffer his penalties alone. We can leave the others out of it but I'd rather be punished myself than allow you to go and face the music by yourself" Sherlock said persistantly. He didn't like the fact that mike was so willing to take the blame for everything when Sherlock was here talking and actually encouraging the idea itself too.

"Excellient idea. It will cause less suspicion. I will start writing letters right away" Sherlock said with a agreeable tone in his voice once more. It sounded very easy to do and easy to finish. He was more than happy to write letters to get the people they needed to come. He smiled when Mike agreed magnus was someone of consideration for the group they were making.

"Yes. I will be careful, only if you too be careful. I don't want to lose you either. You're all I have" Sherlock didn't want to be so dramatic but he meant it. His best friend and his old life was not here but he was happy because of many things in this world were things he were interested in and he relied on mike only for company. But if he lost mike, maybe being in chicago would be very lonely and far less enjoyable.

"Well I love you all the more for it" Sherlock chuckled softly, amused with himself and with mike's responses to him. He nodded, glad that mike was convinced to invite steve and smiled at the idea of the winchester brothers "They do have supernatural experience. We need that. I agree with inviting them also"

He then smiled in agreement as mike said it was best to just do the letters and work on their plans later, and have today just be about them. Something sherlock was more than happy to comply too. He purred in satisfaction as mike talked about them just being together and that mike was just going to have sherlock all to himself. He then passionately kissed mike back as the other man leaned forward and pulled him in. Sherlock hummed in satisfaction and allowed the kiss to last, enjoying the moments to himself as if it was his very last. Eventually though the call of air required him to let go, and he responded with a hoarse voice "That is the best idea I've ever heard of in my life" He breathed softly before asking "What do you wish to do after breakfast, love? Anything you want I'm more than happy to do. Just so long as I am with you"
