Hades did not know how he managed to sleep through ALL of this. By the time he woke up, the cuckoo clock had exploded, Sherlock was answering the door (he probably should have stopped him), Arsene had tackled Sherlock, and Alessio was on fire again. Hades even noticed the scales and claws on Arsene’s hand, making him wonder if the thief was a hybrid like him.

Alessio was angry and currently shouting at Sherlock.

“Do you have any shred of decency in you or are you nothing but spite!?” He snapped “How can you even live with being so petty and insufferable!?!”

Sherlock stirred, glaring at anything in sight. “DID HUMANS CARE ABOUT DECENCY WHEN THEY TOOK MY FAMILY?!”

Furious like he always was, Sherlock bashed the wall, with scales and claws forming on his arm as well. Only unlike Arsene, his scales were white, glittering black in the dim light. “SO WHAT IF I AM NOTHING BUT SPITE?! I WOULD HAVE BEEN A PERFECTLY FINE PERSON IF HUMANS LIKE YOU DIDN’T EXIST!”

Panting with familiar rage, Sherlock became quieter when he spoke. “And you know fully well what I am talking about. Don’t think I didn’t notice how you would try to hide and appear small or how you would often grip your knife if something remotely threatening appears. These aren’t habits a normal person has. You learned these habits to survive.”

A malevolent smile formed on Sherlock’s face, as he asked. “So, who was it that did it? An abusive family member? A teacher? Or people in general?”

Hades had enough. Drawing the Muramasa, Hades let the black tech activate. Flame reminiscent stardust consumed his left arm, as Hades’ voice distorted. “S#HerL&ock! Yo<U’v>e $<aid> <enough>!”

We both know you want to hurt him.

Ignoring the voice inside his head, Hades spoke in a tensed, focused voice. “Do you think you are the only person whose had your life ruined by society? I was in a war. I learned long ago that all people contained evil in some degree. But what matters isn’t whether or not people are good or evil. What matters is do they try to be good people.”

Hades was trying his best to be calm, but the aggressive tone in his voice made his opinions about Sherlock obvious. “But so far, I’ve never seen you do so much as one good deed. And if you harm any of the people in our company ever again, I will not hesitate to hospitalize you.”
