There was a child in the infirmary, he was 16 years old and he sat on the bed watching every one as his arm was stitched up "Where did he say he came from?" John asked as he notice the SGA clothes on the kid
"Awo!" the boy said as he looked as he looked at the doctor patching his arm up
"Sorry." Carson said with a small wince as he went back to work. Elizabeth looked at John and sighed
"He came thought the gate, he ran though and stopped and looked shocked to see where he was, there was 2 others with him, they were shot from whoever was on the other side of the gate." She stopped and gathered her thoughts "He was already hurt by the look of it and then he shouted at us to up the shield up before the bomb on the other side blew."
"How did you even let him in?"
"He had a code that hasn't been used in 10 years." She told him, he frowned
"What?"
"It's the first code SG1 used when the iris was first put up."
"So can you tell me your name?" John asked, the teen looked up at him and frowned as he took another scoop of his mash potato and took a mouthful "Your uniform say Harker?" The teen looked down as the name on his uniform and clicked his tongue
"Sure let's say my name is Harker." He said and he sat back and looked at John
"It's not your name?" He asked
"For the purpose of this conversation sure my name is Harker." He told him with a grim smile; John turned and looked up at the small group of people looking down at him.
"Okay." John said as he sat back and looked at Harker, the dark hair teen took a sip of his tea and then ate some more "Can you tell me where you're from?" John asked
"Ummm 2021." He tells him
"Sorry what?" John asked
"I'm from the year 2021 or 2022 the SGC was under attack the base was set to self destruct and the only way out was gate so I dial home, something must have happen a solar flare or something but the next thing I knew I ended up here." He said looking back at John, he just looked at him and blinked
"Are you saying you're a time traveller?" Harker let out a laugh
"Well in a sense we all are." He told him "Look I'm feeling tiered and I would like be alone for a while?" He asked
"Sure we can do that." John said standing up and started walking towards the door
"Wait." Harker called out, John turned to look at him "Can you tell me what year it is."
"2005." John told Harker, the teen nodded
"Thank you John."
John walked up to the other stood there, they looked down to the 16 year old who walked around the room rubbing his hand though his hair "So what do we think?"
"It wouldn't be first." Rodney said rubbing his bump all eyes turned to him "I meant time travel, you saw how he reacted when John pointed out the name on his uniform, it's not his name, he won't or can't use his real name."
"Why?" Ronon
"It must be a name we would know?" Rodney said with his wide eye bug look
"We get him to talk more; here is something he's not telling us." Teyla, the red head woman looked at Harker walking around the room before he fell onto the bed that was put in there for him
"He's from 2021, he can't tell us much not without changing the time line." She said looking back down to see the tell tale signs that he was crying.
A week later having to tell his story more times than he would like to Harker start to get stir crazy being locked up and wanted to get out and about. He was given different clothes so he didn't look so out of place as he walked the halls. Everything looked the same but different as well he felt lost in a city he uses to call home now he felt like a stranger "Harker." Teyla called him; he turned to see the alien woman smile at him "You look lost?" She said as she touched his shoulder, the teen gave her a sad laugh
"I am." He answers; she moves her hand to his back of his shoulder s
"Come with me."
"What about Larry, Curly and Mo?" He pointed to the 3 guards that was placed on him
"They can tell Elizabeth that I have you and I am keeping an eye on you." She tells them, the guard nodded and walked off.
She leads him to her room and tells him to sit down; he does so taking off his shoe "Tea?" She asked
"Do you still have some of those red roots te…" Harker stopped himself and looked down at the floor swallowing thickly
"Red Roots tea I do. Do you like that tea?"
"I do my dad…Mum says I spent too much time the Athosians." He smiled softly; Teyal chuckled and made some Red Roots tea for them both
"So you spent time with my people."
"Yea they taught me something." He told her as he sipped the tea; he looked at him watching his body langue
"It must be hard to see them walk around Atlantis." Harker looked up at her "Your parents." She said
"It is, especial when I can't talk to them." He said, "I see people I know but they don't know me at all, they look at me as if I'm going to blow up and take them with me." He says "This wasn't meant to happen, I just wanted to go home and now there is no home for me."
"Can I ask, is Rodney your … what do you call him?"
"Dad." Harker snapped his head up and looked her wide eyes as he realised he let slip a guarded secret "You can't tell them."
"Don't worry I won't."
A month later Harker stood over balcony looking over the sea view, he closed his eyes and let the slight wind blow his way, he heard the door behind him open and then close opening his eyes he turned to look at the man beside him "Hello Doctor McCay how are you feeling?" He said nodding towards the 8 month bump
"Oh you know, feel like a beached whale, back ache, over hormonal, can't get any work done."
"A normal response?" Harker smirked; Rodney looked at him and tilts his head
"Oh my gods you're my baby aren't you!" The teen's look changed as he looked back out over the ocean
"Don't tell the others." He whispered
"Why not? John should know… he's …he's well your dad?" Harker turned around and looked at him
"Because me being here has messed everything up already, what happen was never haven meant to have happen! I was never meant to come thought this gate only though mine." He stopped as he felt tears start to burn his eyes "I messed up."
"We will find away to get you back to your time." Rodney said
"How? How can you, Earth is gone there is no way to pin point how far back or forward the gate would have sent me." He said looking at him "Unless they got the Jumper up and running I really don't think with will find me."
"You're my son right?"
"Yes, we just put that information together dad." Harker said looking at him; Rodney froze as he looked at the boy in front of him and tears up a little
"You just called me dad."
"Oh god, please don't cry just tell me what you were going to say?" Harker pleaded, wiping his eyes Rodney looked at him again
"I'm saying that you're my son, which means I won't ever give up on trying to find you and neither will John or the others." Harker gave him a small smile
"Well hopefully you will remember this in 16 years." Harker told him, Rodney nodded and smiled as they looked back out over the ocean
"So tell me who do you take after me or John?" Harker looked at him from the corner of his eye and smirked
"Ronon." He tells him
"What? Oh come on don't tell me that...that you're messing with me."
