Tell Them What I Hoped Would Be Impossible // Private

// Trigger warnings for mentions of death, mental illness, abuse

John and Sherlock had been traveling together ever since the outbreak had happened. No one had expected it. The day had started out normal. They were on a case: one about a murder. No one expected the corpse to come back alive and start attacking the other officers until Lestrade had shot the victim in the head. Molly had called up, saying the same thing was happening around town. Sherlock of course was trying to find a logical explanation for this, but John could tell Sherlock was stumped. He was too. But due to this, they had already lost some close friends and family members. Mrs. Hudson was one of the first to die from the zombies. John knew how close Sherlock was to her, and he knew Sherlock had changed ever since John had to put her down.

John sighed, looking around as the two wandered through a small town. It seemed abandoned, but John knew better then to assume it was. He had his pistol out, ready in case he needed to use it.

Sam and Dean were in the same situation. Traveling together. And just trying to survive. That was the most important thing to Sam; Dean surviving. Dean was the only thing Sam had left in this world. And keeping him safe was his first priority now. Sam had a knife equipped to his belt as well as a gun. Sam frowned quietly when he heard footsteps. "Dean, hold up." Sam murmured.

sherlock had been oddly silent since mrs. hudson had turned. he wouldn’t speak, wouldn’t eat unless he was told, wouldn’t sleep unless he was forced. when he heard voices, he had stopped, setting a hand on john’s shoulder and getting him to stop.
dean stopped when his brother spoke, listening quietly. he moved to peak around the corner and frowned. “doesn’t look like Zs.” he stated.
meanwhile, arika has just gotten done with a supply run, and was reattaching the metal arm to his prosthetic, turning the crank to draw back in the rope. his metal hand doubled as a grappling hook- though it didn’t latch on its own unless you bent the fingers. he had been running from some very large man in the process, sprinting as quickly as he could and turning into an alley only to collide with a very tall man- and making him fall back on his ass. he swore and pushed past the man, quickly hiding behind him and holding him in place and putting a gun to the back of his head. “say i wasn’t here.” he hissed softly just as the three large men skidded to a halt. they were all very large and very muscular. lyon two seen a short guy with a metal arm? i think he had dreads?” the tallest man asked. “i think he was shirtless?”

(Who did Arika run into?)

John stopped when Sherlock set a hand on his shoulder. He glanced up at him, about to say somthing, but he fell silent when he heard the voices. He looked ahead.

Sam frowned. Not Z's huh? "Doesn't mean they're not deadly. Stay sharp." He said.

/sam..

sherlock pointed to the three large men in front of the alley way.
dean froze slightly, looking at sam.

[Leafwing12]

(Oh)

John glanced over to where Sherlock was pointing. He frowned, moving closer quietly.

Sam glanced up at the men. "...No. I have no idea who you're talking about." Sam said, looking them over

[dannychan]

the men swore and looked at each other. “maybe he ran down a different alley. come on, guys.” he leader stated and they all ran off. once he was sure the men were hon, arika lowered his gun. “thank you.” he stated.

[Leafwing12]

Sam nodded before turning to look at Arika. "Who the hell are you an why were they looking for you?" Sam asked.

"There a problem here?" John asked once he was close to the group. Sam jumped a bit, raising his gun to aim at John. John froze, aiming his gun at Sam. "...Lower your gun, I'm not here to hurt you." John said. Sam glanced down at the gun John had aiming at him and rose a questioning eyebrow. John blinked, lowering his gun, his hand resting down by his hip. Sam relaxed, slowly pointing the gun away as well

arika frowned. “because i stole from their hoard.” he stated and held up the bags on his shoulders full of all sorts of metal and other things. “they had an entire room of this stuff.”
dean had tended up whine the other two appeared and frowned. he looked over then. “no..”

[Leafwing12]

Sam glanced the others over. "Great...Well, we should get going. In fact all of you should find a place to hold up in. It's getting late and its dangerous to travel at night." Sam said.

"Yeah. Good plan." John murmured. He glanced over at Sherlock. "You ready to set out, Sherlock?" He asked.

[dannychan]

arika blinked. “i’ve got a caravan. i could take you all to the nearest settlement.” he offered. sherlock looked at john, and then stared at arika.
