Title: Goddess
Rating: M
Summary: The team arrives to a planet where Teyla is seen as Goddess.
The team made their way from the gate towards the energy signature the MALP had detected. Ronon, Sheppard and Teyla were discussing random thing to pass the time while McKay for once stayed quiet. An hour later the team came over a hill side revealing a spectacular city.
"Now that's impressive," Sheppard said in awe.
"Yeah," Ronon said.
The team descended from the hill side towards the city and reached the entrance to the city within minutes and was greeted by the residents of the city. The residents feel to their knees when they saw Teyla.
"She has returned!" one of the people called out gesturing to Teyla.
"Me?" Teyla said in confusion.
"You are our goddess Nirta," one from the group said.
"You must have me confused with someone else I have never been to this world." Teyla said.
"But you are her," one villager stepped forward showing her a picture that looked exactly like her.
"Looks like you," Sheppard said.
"Come you must see the council," the villagers cleared a path for the team to walked through. The team followed them to a large building in the middle of the city presumably the council building. As Teyla entered the council chamber the nine members bowed in front of her.
"Welcome back Nirta" The lead councilman said. Rodney leaned towards Sheppard to talk quietly. "I think they have a ZPM and the energy signature suggests multiple ones." Then John walked over to Teyla to whisper into her ear.
"Teyla I think you should play along for now. McKay thinks they have a ZPM here and that would be nice to have if the Wraith comes back again." John whispered and Teyla nodded in acknowledgement.
"Yes I have returned," Teyla said.
"Who are these that travel with you?"
"These are my friends Col. John Sheppard, Dr. McKay, and Ronon Dex" Teyla said introducing her teammates.
"Welcome to Malcolia I am Chief Councilman Molcan," Molcan said.
"Pleased to meet you Councilman," Sheppard said.
"Nirta was your journey successful?" Molcan asked.
"To which journey do you refer to?" Teyla asked.
"You left long ago to find a mate to rule by your side. Were you successful in finding a mate?" one of the other councilmen replied.
"Yes," Teyla said confidently.
"We will prepare the ceremony for you and your mate but it will take two days time to complete preparations. You and your mate may reside in your quarters and we will provide quarters for your friends."
"That is acceptable may you show me to my quarters," Teyla asked.
"Yes come," Molcan.
"Colonel will you join me?" Teyla asked.
"Sure," John said and followed Teyla and the Councilman out of the room.
"What about us?" Ronon called out.
"They said they'd take care of you!" John yelled back.
The two of them followed Molcan down the hall into what looked like an Atlantian transporter and exited into a short corridor. Molcan walked to the last door on the left and gestured for the two to enter.
"These are your quarters Nirta. I hope you and your chosen enjoy them. Our evening meal will be ready shortly," Molcan said.
"Molcan after you have shown my friends to their rooms could you send them up to me." Teyla asked.
"Of course," Molcan said and then walked back to the transporter.
"Well this is turning into an interesting mission," John said.
"Indeed," Teyla said and then decided to look around.
"Looks like, there's only one bed." John said and paused before continuing. "You should have it I'll sleep on the couch over there." John offered.
"Colonel there is no need for that it is after all quite a large bed and we are both adults." Teyla said.
"Well...um...if your okay with it then. Let's look around?" John said and the two began exploring the large room. The two of them stepped into what appeared to be a large living room with an artificial fireplace, two couches and a multiple lights. Teyla left an explored the bedroom which contained a large bed covered in red satin sheets, and beside the bed were two night stands. The bedroom had an adjoined balcony Teyla saw and then turned her attention to the closet that was to the left of the bed and inside was filled with many colorful outfits of different design.
"I see you found the clothes," John said entering the bedroom and let out a low whistle after seeing the room.
"They are extraordinary," Teyla said looking through the wardrobe and paused before continuing.
"Do you not find this situation odd Colonel and wrong?" Teyla asked
"Hey if we can get a ZPM off these guys it'll be worth it. More ZPM's means we can hold the Wraith back for more than a few days." John said.
"Yes that would be nice but I am impersonating their goddess. Do you not see the problem with that? What if, they discover that I am not who I claim to be?" Teyla asked.
"I know its wrong Teyla but we're already in to deep all we can do now is ride it out and maybe get a trade agreement. I mean have you seen this place it's almost as advanced as Atlantis." John said.
"Yes it is impressive and I see your point we will as you say 'ride it out'." Teyla said and turned back to the clothes. Periodically, asking John's opinion on various dresses and their designs.
McKay and Ronan on the other hand were left to wait for twenty minutes before being shown to their rooms. Molcan lead the two to the guest quarters and informed them that Nirta wished to see them after showing them their quarters. Rodney's room was at the end of the hall on the right and Ronan's was the third to last on the left. Both entered their quarters to examine them. The rooms themselves were quite simple, a small living room, medium bathroom and a small bedroom.
"Are your living quarter suitable?" Molcan asked after the two men had exited their quarters.
"Yes there fine aren't they McKay," Ronan asked not wanting to hear the scientist complain about yet another trivial topic.
"Yes…perfect," McKay said catching Ronan's intent for the question.
"Good then I will show you to Nirta's quarters," Molcan said and began walking back down the hall leading the men in the direction the Sheppard and Teyla had gone. A few minutes later McKay and Ronon were waiting in front of the door at the end of the hall waiting to be invited in. Molcan pressed a small blue button next to the door and left to the two men waiting. Then the door opened to reveal an impatient John Sheppard.
"Thank god you're here guys! She's been driving me insane!" Sheppard said quietly.
"I'll pretend like I did not hear that Colonel Sheppard." Teyla called from the bedroom.
"Damn I'm going to pay for that one. Guys remind me when Teyla visits Earth to set a time limit for shopping at the mall." Sheppard said.
"I'll pretend I did not hear that either," Teyla said.
"Sounds like your having fun Sheppard," Ronan said eyeing the room in the process.
"I'm not going to answer that," Sheppard said.
"These are your quarters! It's like three times the size of ours!" McKay said finally getting a word into the conversation.
"What do you expect McKay! 'Nirta' is their goddess you think their going to stick her in an average room." Sheppard said.
"Just don't play the Kirk card for once Colonel it's getting tiresome," McKay said.
"Shut it McKay," Sheppard said and Teyla chose that moment to exit the bedroom.
"Did Molcan treat you well?" Teyla asked the men before dressed in an elegant gown of a golden material.
"Yes," Both Ronan and McKay said staring at the dress.
"You finally found one you liked I see," John said.
"Yes I thought this dress would be appropriate for dinner," Teyla said.
"Yes when is dinner anyway I'm starving?" McKay asked.
"Can you not think about food for one minute McKay," Ronan said.
"Molcan said dinner would be ready shortly," Teyla said and as if on queue Molcan entered and announced that dinner was ready.
"Best news I've heard all day," said McKay.
