Vanishment.

Juliet crosses the room to hold her Sherlock's hand.

Hugs are always an improvement.

"...How's the backup of Jarvis coming?" Shell Bell asks tentatively, after a minute's silence.

"Almost complete."

"...I'm gonna need a minute, guys," Tony says quietly. "Vampire Sherry, can I borrow you?"

"Of course."

Juliet relinquishes her Sherlock.

He follows Tony out of the room.

"Other Sherlock, are you still on the phone?" Shell Bell asks the air.

"Yes I am."

"Are the events clear enough or do you want anything explained?"

"A vampire duplicate of me from an alternate universe just killed Obadiah Stane. Tony went off to cry on said duplicate's shoulder. Some number of you were also involved."

"I'm Shell Bell and there's also Juliet - she's new, the Sherlock is hers, she's the Slayer in her world - and Golden - she's sort of new but was known, she's a vampire but a different kind," supplies Shell Bell.

"Nice to meet you all," Sherlock says dryly.

"And Jarvis is copying to disk so I can take him home and install him in my world," Juliet adds, "because him and Tony died, there."

"Ah," says Sherlock.

"I think you're up to speed now."

"I have to admit I'm questioning the not-having-told-Tony-about-how-his-parents-died thing," says Golden. "Why was that a good idea? He believed you when you told him."

"I did not expect him to. Until he asked."

"Yeah, I wasn't sure he would, either - on my world everything was more blatantly horrible," says Shell Bell.

"Fair enough. You know the kid and I don't," says Golden.

"I should probably start stockpiling squares," says Shell Bell, and she bends one of her fingers backwards and holds it, expression set.
