Title: Threat or Opportunity

Rating: T

Genre: Humor/ Slash (very very mild)

Pairing: McShep (What else?)

A/N: This little drabble is translated from my german version (and changed a little bit). I hope it is not to lame now. It takes place very early in the first season, some days after the pilot "Rising", and plays with the most wanted pairing – but on a early stage. And I do not own Stargate Atlantis and its characters.

John leaned against a stack, when suddenly something nearby awakened with a sound.

His eyes narrowed, recognizing the source. It was here? Now he knew, why the lifesigns-detector disappeared yesterday.

But McKay was mindfuller than he thought.

Without looking up, the scientist waved his hand in a threatening gesture. "Major, I have seen that. If the detector is not an his place, I will search you later – personally!"

John smiled. „Really?"

"Would you like to take the chance?" McKay emphasized.

John took the hand ayway from the lifesigns-detector but then decided otherwise. Maybe he shouldn't let this opportunity slip away.
