Sherlock was silent for another moment, his mind furiously assessing.
There were several possibilities.
1) That this was indeed John Watson, from the same time period as him - (which, of course, if he was real, he had to be, John didn't look like he had aged a day since Sherlock had last seen him) - and that they had somehow brought him here because of Sherlock's actions. (Which of course implied time travel.)
2) That John had been here the whole time, and that they were 'woken' when needed, and that they had woken up John in an effort to prove their ability to Sherlock.
3) That this wasn't John at all, but a trick, a replica, built from his memories and made to force him into submission.
It would be easier to reason everything out if he hadn't literally witnessed monsters and giants spiders turning into people and hadn't died, himself, and felt it and--
"You're not supposed to be here," He bit out bitterly, trying to force his mind to a standstill. He crossed closer to John. "How do I know that you're even real?"
