''Okay so first: how the hell are you walking without help? Let alone running?!'' Mycroft asked, still a bit angry.

''I may have trained while you weren't home...'' I paused for a second: ''But if I hadn't your brother would probably have been dead by now.'' I said, trying to lighten up the situation.

''You could have died Y/N!'' Mycroft yelled.

''Otherwise your brother would have!'' I yelled in response.

This caused Mycroft to keep his mouth shut. A minute long, painful silence followed.

''Sorry.'' Mycroft said. He was clearly upset about the way he had reacted.

I smiled, comforting him: ''It's okay. I just did what needed to be done.''

He looked down: ''Yes you did.''

Another silence, this time I was the one to break it:

''Mycroft, remember, people like me.. they tend to be retired.'' I explained, Mycroft still looking down.

Ofcourse I knew the risks of my profession, and I accepted them. I knew that when the time had come, I needed to surrender to it and let go of everything.

Both me and Mycroft sat there in silence, I sort of enjoyed it after all the noise from this morning. The silence was interrupted by a tall, confidently looking man. His black, curly hair was messy and his blue eyes stood out immediatly :Sherlock.

Mycroft shot me a look, he wanted me to back off. So I did. I walked over to the doorway where Sherlock had just come out off. Just as I was about to walk through the doorway, I felt a strong hand grabbing my wrist. I got swung around to face Sherlock, who was still holding me by the wrist.

I looked him straight into the eyes, my e/c eyes meeting his ice blue ones.
"You should consider letting go of my hand." I said, a firm expression in my eyes.

Sherlock raised his brow: "Why would I? You protected me ontop of that rooftop."

The expression in my eyes softened a bit, so did Sherlocks grip on my wrist.

"Y/N, I need your help." Sherlock exclaimed after a little silence.

"Absolutely not." Mycroft hissed.

The tension in the room was clearly noticable, another silence followed. Sherlock turned to Mycroft:

"Does she speak Russian?"

"Not that I know." Mycroft replied, both of them turned to me.

I just lifted my eyebrow and walked out the room.

I sat down behind the piano, I needed to get my frustration out. I let my brain guide my fingers over the paino, playing 'River flows in you', not missing one note. I always played piano if I needed to get my frustration out, it really helped with relaxing.

When I finished the last note, I felt the presence of someone in the room. Before I could turn around, I could hear a bastone voice speak:

''That was incredible.''

I recognised it immediatly: Sherlock.

''Thank you.'' I replied.

''I wanted to thank you for saving me earlier, I was convinced that I would die.''

''Mycroft told me you were stubborn, I surpose he must have lied or something.''

''Yeah, well, maybe I'm not so subborn after all.''
