Summary:
 It had to be done.
Author's Note: Written for watsons_woes JWP#5.

The carriage idling outside the graveyard was unremarkable; a Hansom Cab like any other, one of hundreds in the city, there was no reason for anyone to pay it any mind. Nor did anyone give a second glance to the elderly woman who headed to it after paying her respects once the funeral ended.

Mycroft waited until the cab pulled from the kerb before asking, "Are positive this is for the best? We could still include him in our plans."

After removing her wig and shedding the bulky, unkempt coat Mary shook her head. "John will be safer this way."

Here's hoping this is a Reichenbach AU, because God knows John doesn't deserve for BOTH of them to pull this on him.

Poor Watson, right?

Oh Lord. Mary's an assassin in both universes? Interesting. Poor Watson wherever he is.

Poor Watson, indeed. :(

Wow! Nice twist there, and so many possible plot bunnies. Any chance you continue this?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I hadn't really considered continuing it. Maybe if a JWP prompt inspires something?

I hope it does!

Intriguing! (Also, poor Watson.)

Watson definitely has faced many woes this month, does he not?
