Author's Note: Surprisingly, this was another attempt at a fic for SAWS. Obviously it didn't work, mostly because the scene that I had planned to come after it wasn't going anywhere. But I really liked this bit, so here it is :). I hope you like it! :D

Dosage

------------

Teyla fought against Aiden's men as they half-dragged her across the room and tried to seat her on an old crate. She fought, pulling back against their hands until her back encountered warm, solid resistance. She pushed harder against the obstacle, only realizing when she heard a grunt of anger or pain that it was Ronon. But by then there was no escape.

Two more men advanced on them with syringes, and no matter how hard Teyla fought, she couldn't escape as the needle was plunged deep into her arm, emptying into a dark vein that stood out against her skin.

She clenched her teeth and sucked in a deep, gasping breath, barely hearing Ronon's agonized scream past the roaring in her ears as the enzyme coursed through her body.

Finally, she felt the needle slide free, and she was pulled away---away from Ronon---back towards the sparring mat.

A different opponent than before stood opposite her, and she took her stance, feeling her body tremble from the rush of energy that the enzyme promised. It was so much that it almost made her dizzy, and she realized distractedly that they must have upped the dosage.

The guy facing her grinned, seeming to forget that not too long ago---before her dose of the enzyme---she had held her own against his buddy just fine, refusing to be beaten. But he seemed to misinterpret her shaking limbs.

"Scared to fight me?" he taunted. "Afraid that I might damage that pretty face of yours?" As far as Teyla was concerned, the comment didn't warrant a reply; and besides, "that pretty face" had him on the ground in under ten seconds.

Surprised by what she had done, as if someone else had been controlling her body until that moment, she pulled back into her basic defense position looked at her tightly fisted hands. Yup. They must have really upped the dosage.

Teyla soon discovered that a higher dose had to be re-administered twice as frequently...
