A/N: I didn't want to start another story, but I've stalled on my other McKeller's. I've had this idea in my head for years, so I'm doing this story as a sequel to Welcome To New Athos.

I own nothing. Some dialogue will be taken from Gateworld.

Jennifer Keller sat on the floor of the Midway station alongside Doctor Lee and an unconscious Doctor Peter Kavanagh awaiting the whim of their captors. She'd arrived barely two hours ago, been escorted to the control room by a red-faced Bill Lee and then the Pegasus gate activated to allow entry of a Wraith strike force.

They moved swiftly, killing the few security guards on the station and taking over the control room with three engineers and Jennifer as hostages. Jennifer felt useless and seriously questioned her decision to return to Atlantis as she had to stand by while Doctor Dempster was fed upon. When the Wraith turned to her and the other engineers, Kavanagh passed out.

The Wraith tech at the console discovered how to dial the Earth gate without the help of Doctor Lee so they were left alone. "Send the device."

"Uh, device?" Lee questioned, his gaze went from the Wraith to Jennifer. He then raised his hand as if we were in school. "Um, what device?"

Jennifer was suddenly hit with a wave of terror. "The Wraith are on their way to Earth. We've got to stop them," she whispered to Bill. Images of her father, Uncle Jack and the Millers filled her head.

Little Madison Miller had fallen asleep the night before reading a story to her because Jennifer couldn't sleep. Her eyes fell on the husk of Dempster. "We can't let Earth become a feeding ground."

"Unfortunately, we'll be their feeding ground if we provoke them." He tried to smile and patted her knee reassuringly. "Best sit still. Rescue is on its way."

"Rescue?" she said incredulously. "The Wraith control the gates, the Daedalus is on Earth, so that makes us the only ones to help." Her eyes fell on the big engineer lying next to them. Kavanagh had stumbled around, blushing furiously when Bill brought her into the control room. So he wouldn't be much help even if he was awake.

"The Wraith won't get out of the SGC. Colonel Mitchell will stop them," Bill stated.

The Wraith glanced at them huddled with their backs against the wall under the viewport.

He lowered his voice. "There's nothing we can do."

Jennifer looked around wildly. A memory from two weeks ago came back to her. At the time she was so terrified that she lashed out at Rodney in anger.

How could you? she screamed after Rodney told her he would sacrifice himself to save Jeannie from nanites that she'd been infected with.

The physicist told her how he'd stopped all contact with Jeannie when she became pregnant. The regret and pain was written in his eyes as he confessed ignoring the only family he had.

How could Jennifer question that? Wouldn't you do the same for Uncle Jack or Dad? Or Rodney?

Luckily for her Master Gunny Richards and Colonel Sheppard had another idea. It wasn't necessary for Rodney to die, someone else volunteered.

With thoughts of sacrificing to save those you love on her mind, she muttered, "Self destruct."

"What?" Bill Lee asked.

"Is there a self-destruct?"

"Yes, but I don't know the codes. And even if I did, we'd never get past the Wraith to get to the escape pod." He glanced nervously at the Wraith who suddenly got up and looked out the view windows.

From their seats on the floor they couldn't see anything happening below on the floor of the station. "It looks like they're distracted. We need to do something now," Jennifer whispered forcefully.

A/N: Sorry for this teaser piece, but I wanted to find out if you are interested in a story with Jennifer on Midway.

I know this couple is more angsty than many of you love-yes, cheeriolord, I'm talking to you - but I will get to fluff eventually.

Please let me know if I should continue.
