[Idiot. Perhaps if he were a better man, that wouldn't be the first word to cross Sherlock's mind. Perhaps not. Either way, it's there. Was this what heroism earned you, then? An overly dramatic death and a cavalcade of masked mourners?
He also can't help the irking sense of disappointment-- had he really bought into the fever across the Port that believed with Batman's help, the Newcomers could actually change something?
[Clark hadn't expected it, and so he jumped just a little bit, clutching tighter to Bruce. In fact, Sherlock is lucky he doesn't get introduced to heat vision--jumpy Kryptonian is jumpy.]
Mystique isn't a game, Sherlock, unless you want every villain on the island to think that Batman is fallible. That he's human.
[Sherlock couldn't deny that; he'd kept Moriarty's true nature secret for a reason. Different from these reasons, but he'd done it all the same. He looked at the body in Superman's arms and there was the slightest twitch across his otherwise cold face.]
You just announced that he's dead. I think his humanity is rather obvious.
[The head-- it was just like Carrie. Sherlock set his jaw. That was all he needed to have his answer. Clark didn't really have to say anything.]

[Sherlock is welcome to seek him out. He's walking east from the SERO building.

I don't have time for games. If that murderer is out there again, I want to know.

[Except that the killer was still out there--and Sherlock, he had that look on his face. Determination, anger. He was Carrie's friend too.]
I'm no telepath, but I know what you're thinking. Don't.
