I really wish you would, though. Annd I wasn't going to say that, I was going to tell you how you're doing the right thing not telling us about each other's...whatevers. I'm going to go ahead and consider that confirmation that we're probably from the same universe, so, uh, thanks for the info. The implications aren't horrifying or anything.
[John sighs.]
That's... kind of why I tried to keep all this a secret at first. Didn't work out s'well, but you weren't around for that.

No, but I imagine that didn't help things between you and Tony.
[There's sadness in his voice when he mentions Tony, same as there ever is.]
And I'd really like to ask you what you know about Infinity Stones, considering we've stumbled across a sort of theme, here. But you're not going to tell me, are you?

He was hurt very badly the night that everyone broke their tablets. I'm taking care of him to make sure his wounds don't get infected, either. Is there a problem with him coming?
Mycroft apparently must tell the truth for his revival price.
[He sounds pretty smug. He had to deal with that, it's much more enjoyable when the boot is on the other foot.]
He mentioned a name, Eurus, I believe that must be the anomaly he's been dealing with. Did you manage to get anything from him before by feigning existing knowledge?

Eurus... right! Yeah! Sorry, right. Let me get the conversation. I was waiting 'til your memories were back, then forgot. She's your secret sister, apparently.
[John sends over the audio file.]
I think I like this kind of info gathering. Didn't even have to lie.

[John doesn't really want to talk about Tony.]
No, not much. For Tony and for the stones. I know you found one in that eye thing you used to set up the time-loop for Dormammu.

[Sherlock is silent as he listens to the conversation.
He feels sick, genuinely sick. How could he have a sister that he doesn't recall? What heinous thing had happened that led to her being taken away and him losing all memory of her? What has Mycroft done?! He desperately wracks his brain for any recollection, but there's nothing.
Except...]
The East Wind is coming to get you, Sherlock.
[It's mumbled, more for himself than John. That's what Eurus means, isn't it, the east wind.]

The Eye of Agamotto. I didn't realize there were others until Peter started telling me I should have died the second I touched it. You know his dad's a planet? It's weird.
No, I didn't know, actually. [Must be a new movie.] Isn't the Tesseract supposed to be something like one, too? Or whatever was powering Loki's scepter.
[That phrase means nothing to John.]
Sherlock? Are you remembering something?
Sherlock? Are you remembering something?
[O... kay?]
Sure. Doesn't make sense to have two people doing the same thing. I'll talk to you soon, Ecks. Keep your wounds clean and dressed.

...Yeah, remind me what those ones did? You probably got a better look at them in, uh, the movies than I would have since I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about...and I wasn't going to tell you that, I was going to pretend you were just filling in a couple gaps.
Stephen... [John sighs, exasperated.] I'm gonna hang up now.
That's probably a reasonable thing to do at this point, yeah.
He was telling you your missing sister was coming to get you? [There's disgust in John's tone.] What the hell for?
Probably some form of mental conditioning, to either assess if I'd regained memory of Eurus or an ingrained response to keep those memories suppressed.
[He's so angry.]
Apparently she's in a facility, Sherrinford. Mycroft was... displeased about being unable to lie and told me more than he intended to.

Why, though? What the hell is she there for? He sounded scared of her when we talked.
[There's a moment's hesitation.]
Redbeard.
[His voice is heavy, he honestly still can't quite believe what Mycroft told him.]
My dog as a child, or so I believed-- so my mind still tricks me into remembering. Apparently not, he was a friend I played pirates with, Victor Trevor, and Eurus trapped him down a well with only cryptic clues to solve in order to save him. My first failed case, apparently. Mycroft told me that shortly afterwards she burned down our family home and was transferred to Sherrinford.

[That pulls John's righteous anger at Mycroft to a screeching halt.]
Oh, my god... [That's horrifying.] Sherlock, are you... [No, he's not 'okay,' even if he'll say he is.] What are you going to do?
