Trapped (Sherlock x Reader)
Summary: You and Sherlock always had a rocky relationship. It’s not until the both of you getting trapped by the suspect in Sherlock’s most recent case where you two have to use teamwork to survive.
You woke up in a large concrete room of some kind. Your head throbbed and you slowly sat up, trying to recollect what happened. You thought you were alone until you hear “About time you woke up” A familiar voice sounded. Sherlock sat right across from you.
“Of all people to be trapped in a dingy room with, why you?” You groaned.
“Nice to see you too” He retorted sarcastically.
The room had a few chairs, dim lights and a bunk bed. You sighed, slowly getting to your feet. You looked around for any potential exits to find none.
“Don’t bother, I already checked for exits. Whoever this person is, clearly wants us to die here. The vents are two narrow to actually try to escape. If we want to escape and tell the tale, we are going to have to work together” Sherlock spoke in his calm manner.
You scoffed “And since when have we ever cooperated together? Every time I have tried, it never works. But when we are in a drastic, life-threatening situation; you now want to work together? You are defintely unbelieveable” he shrugged “Hey, if you want to die here from being an idiot, be my guest Y/N. However, I prefer to escape in one piece” He replied, standing.
“I for once agree with you there” You nodded in agreement. He walked toward you and touched your shoulders gently. You gave him a suspecting look as he leans in close “I’m sorry in advance for what I’m about to do” he whispered. You really now give him a questioning look and before you know it, he uses your knife and promptly stabs you in your side.
You cry out in pain, sliding down against the wall. “I. Am. Going. To. Kill. You” You gritted through your teeth. He gives you a pleading look as he bangs on the door, worsening your headache “HELP! HELP! I NEED A DOCTOR!” He exclaimed as a guard opened the door.
“My friend, S-She tried to kill me f-for getting her in this mess. Please. I did it in self-defense. Just help her” The guard went over to you and examined you. As he was about to assist you, he was knocked out. Sherlock took the keys and helped you up gently “We don’t have much time before he wakes up, let’s go. Again, sorry I stabbed you” he apologized. You nodded as alarms went off “…Sherlock” you said in a worried tone.
He took your hand and started running with you being dragged beside him. Guards from most sides started chasing you. The doors to the exit were starting to shut as your vision blurred. The adrenaline, although present; was starting to wear off. The loss of some blood as well added to the affect. You kept running as far as your legs could take you. Sherlock pulled you through one of the doors at one of the last seconds.
You leaned against the wall, trying to catch your breath. You both were safe; for now. Your knees eventually buckled and you fell on to the floor, taking in heavy breaths. It took everything you had not to pass out.
“Are you alright?” He asked in a soft tone. You replied with a nod. He got a bit closer to you “Can you walk?”
You attempt to do so, however, you buckle again and he catches you “I’ll take that as a no. Lestrade should be here any minute. Just sit and relax. You’re going to be ok”
Your vision fades to black. You wake up in a hospitial room an indeterminate amount of time later. Your head was foggy and you felt like you got run over by a semi-truck. You looked around as you tried sitting up, only to discover to have intense pain afterwards. Defeated, you lay back down as Sherlock enters the room.
“How do you feel?” He asks curiously.
“Like lead. Why should that matter? I’m still going to kill you though” you glared. He gives a confused look before realizing what you meant “It saved our lives though”
“You still don’t just stab people you idiotic sociopath” you sighed.
“A High Functioning one thank you” he tried to correct.
“More like dysfunctioning to me” You hoarsely laughed “But I never got to thank you. I have no idea what I’d do if it weren’t for your quick thinking” you added with a smile. He gave a nod in reply.
“Well Y/N, get well. We got another case soon. Don’t want you to miss it” he winked.
“Really taking advantage of John not being around huh?” You asked with a smirked.
“Oh absolutely. Get well soon Y/N. I’ll see you around” He said before leaving you in the hospitial room.
