Four.

Bell smiles when she sees Libby, and then she looks amusedly at the other Tony and Sherlock -

And then she screams and draws her wand on the fourth of the party.

"What did I tell you," says Elizabeth.

Permalink

"You could have mentioned your reasons," Obadiah says mildly.

Permalink

"I didn't have specifics, I just know a bad idea when I see one."

Permalink

Meanwhile, Sherlock has shifted posture just enough to emphasize to the other Sherlock which side he is on.

Permalink

And Tony is giving Obie a look of semi-affectionate despair, 'I can't take you anywhere' flavour.

Permalink

Sherlock is in full-on bodyguard mode.

Permalink

And Tony is... pretty much frozen.

Bell has now slowly begun to realize that this is not their version of this man. While he could easily be bad news, the fact that he has seen their recognizable selves, in Milliways, does not mean that they are all now going to die unless they can kill him and run off to another world to escape deadman-switch reprisals. She lowers her wand arm.

(But her wand doesn't leave her hand. It doesn't actually need to point at her target. It just needs to be in her hand.)

"I'm pretty sure I can handle this," she adds.

Obadiah looks from his fiancee to the other Tony (and that must be another Sherlock, what an interesting design choice) and accompanying terrified stranger.

Then he says dryly, "Have fun, dear," and heads out his door, which thanks to the convenience of Milliways topology is on the other side of the room.

"Aargh," says Tony.

Permalink

Sherlock pats his arm.

Permalink
With him gone, Bell is content to put her hair back up again.

"So," she says to Elizabeth. "That's your fiancé, huh?"

And her voice shakes only a little bit.
Permalink

"That's my fiancé," Elizabeth agrees.

Permalink

Sherlock looks at Sherlock, then both Tonies, then Sherlock again.

Permalink

She nods.

Permalink

He raises his eyebrows slightly.

Permalink

She shakes her head.

Permalink

Bell peers between the Sherlocks. "I suppose you don't want to share with those of us who aren't observant enough to pretend we're telepathic."

Permalink

"He offered to help me assassinate Snow. I declined."

Permalink

"Oh." She turns to the other Sherlock. "That's very kind of you, though."

Permalink

"It seems necessary."

Permalink
Bell turns to her version of Tony. "Are you okay?"

Because Sherlock mentioned Snow is regularly horrible to Tony. And freezing isn't necessarily a less terrified reaction than screaming and drawing a weapon.
