Not even impending doom was enough to voluntarily get Mycroft involved.
So true, that.
Also true is that sometimes our bodies can tell us when something is amiss... like that feeling when something is wrong in a totally different way than usual.
John was very lucky that Sherlock found him in time.
Well done!

Thank you! . . . but you know, I don't say that Sherlock DID find him in time either. ;)

If there is such a thing as selective hearing, their must be something similar for selective interpretation. That said, Sherlock did find John VSA but the EMS was quick to respond, the blood bank was stocked full of John's rare blood type, the surgery went on for hours, and after months of recuperation, John made a (almost) complete recovery, just in time for next July

Anything else... *fingers in ears* LALALALALALA!

APOLOGIES. Death regarded the angry man before him. I DO GET BORED ONCE IN A WHILE.

John looked around him. He had never seen such a motley and varied group of people in his life.

"Oh, hi!" a short, blond man exclaimed, practically skipping up to John. He wore leather pants (of all things!), and tattered purple vest, and an unusual talisman necklace. "First time here?"

"Um . . . I suppose so?"

"Yeah, the first time can be a little overwhelming," the stranger grinned. "I'm Iolaus, by the way."

"John."

"Well, c'mon, John. I'll introduce you around. You'll probably have time to meet Gabrielle and some of the others before your friend brings you back."

"Brings me back? From where? Where are we?"

"Ohhhhhhhhh! You ARE a new guy, aren't you?" Iolaus clapped John on the shoulder with enough force to make him stumble a little. "John, welcome to Sidekick Limbo. This is where we hang out after we've died but before the heroes can do whatever to bring us back to life."
