Just a little one shot that popped into my head while I was stressing over exams. Hope I got the voices right.

Little Alien
"Well this is just lovely."
"Rodney…" Sheppard's voice had a sigh and a warning in it as they, along with Ronon and Teyla were marched down an underground tunnel.
"No, really, this is juuuust great. I could be at home making sure Zelenka doesn't screw up any of my experiments, but no. I get to be herded at gunpoint to some leader who will most likely kill us when he sees us."
"Ever the optimist." muttered Sheppard, eyeing one of the armed soldiers warily. They were all dressed in black, and although they looked human, they had their faces covered, so it wasn't easy to know. They weren't very talkative either.
They were frogmarched into a room and left there for a little while. Ronon took up a stance by the door, Sheppard and Teyla sat on the ground, and McKay paced and fretted, grumbling about 'unfair life'.
Just as Sheppard was about to do some damage to McKay, the door opened and several people entered, still wearing masks.
"Oh great! Just wonderful." McKay muttered. The man in front looked at McKay hard, or it appeared he was. Sheppard quickly stepped in,
"Listen, we don't want any trouble-"
"Dr. McKay?"
McKay blinked, shifting and eyes darting to Sheppard for a second, "Um… yes?"
The man in the mask laughed, "I never thought I'd see you again!"
"Do I… know you?"
"Oh, right, sorry-" the man pulled off the mask. He was younger than Sheppard had expected for an apparent leader. He had green eyes and brown hair that was dishevelled. "-I didn't know Tau'ri were in this galaxy yet."
McKay stared at him, looking confused, "Erm…"
The man gave a crooked smile, a dimple forming in one cheek, "You have no idea who I am do you?"
"Not a clue. Although, since you've got the weapons, I wish I did."
"I'm Jonas Quinn."
McKay stared blankly at him.
"We met a few years ago at the SGC."
Still staring.
"You called me Little Alien Guy."
McKay's eyes widened, "Oh! Oh right. Yes! You! I remember you now."
Jonas smiled wider, revealing dazzlingly white teeth, "You don't do you?"
"Nope!"
"I was the one who brought Naquadria to earth."
"Oh, erm…"
"You were the one who explained to me the concept of crossing fingers."
"Still nothing."
"Um… I gave Colonel Carter the idea to take the Stargate out by the crane."
"…Good for you."
Jonas sagged a little, giving up, "Forget it. Not important. Follow me. I'm sure you don't want to stay here any longer."
"Not really." Sheppard agreed. As they followed Jonas out of their cell, Sheppard leaned over to McKay. "Your people skills suck!"
"Oh, who would remember a guy they met once?"
"How could anyone forget those teeth? I think they blinded me!"
"They are very, very shiny."
