Summary
“After everything they put you through, don’t you want to hit back?”
It was a cheap attempt at manipulation, James knew. But it didn’t change the truth: He did. He always wanted to hit back. It ached in the muscles of his face, where he wore his smile like armor; in his fists and his arms and shoulders, always braced for a punch in this land where people wielded politeness like a weapon always pointed at those they considered outsiders.
He wanted to hit back. He wanted it to hurt.
And he really was—he could not emphasize this enough—dangerously bored.
--
The IRB gets word of a catastrophic weapon in development. Their only clue? The name "Holmes." Luckily, they have a young operative stationed conveniently for some snooping, and James Moriarty can't say no to a fight. A slight AU.
