Disclaimer: I do not own any of the following stories or Characters that have come from those stories: Stargate: SG1, Stargate Atlantis, Star Trek Voyager, Star Trek, Law and Order: SVU, Xena, or Popular.
A/N: So as promised this is the sequel to my story Stargate: An Alternate Tale. Now as I explained before this story is going to be very different from anything I have written before. Hell, as I was sitting here planning it out it has turned out to be different from what I thought. The easiest way to explain is that it is a crossover between Stargate and Voyager. Please keep in mind that all changes are mine and that this is an AU story.
So a little time line for you. In my story Sam and her group settled Atlantis in the year 2004. The story is going to take place sometime during Voyager's 4th year of their journey. So this story is set 370 years in the future during the year 2374. To save my sanity I am going to assume that the plant Atlantis is on has the same 365 day cycle that earth has…so that would make Sam 400 years old…now how is that possible ;-) I guess we will find out.
Fair warning…This is Femslash and has plenty of flemslashy goodness. I'm not sure what the rating will end up being so I'm going to put it at 'M' just to be safe. I'm not sure if there will be any lemons or not but knowing me there probably will be. We will see. The pairings are as follows: Sam/Janet, Xena/Gabrielle, Elizabeth/Teyla, Cassandra/Jennifer, Alex/Olivia, Brooke/Sam, Seven/Kathryn, and B'Elanna/OFC. And expect a few chapters before we get to Sam/Janet and Atlantis.
Since I'm trying some different I'm interested in what everyone thinks. Reviews are welcome and so are constructive criticism, but no flames. This story is un betaed.
Stargate: An Alternate Atlantis Tale
Chapter 1
Seven of Nine, formerly of the Borg Collective, once again fidgeted in her seat when she heard the raised voices coming from the Captain's ready room. The bridge crew had been listening to the muffled argument for nearly ten minutes. Ever since the 1st officer jumped from his seat and barged into the Captain's room. Only Seven's Borg enhanced could detect the actual words and it taking all of her considerable self control not to barge in there and protect her lover. She knew that she couldn't but it seemed that their carefully kept secret was finally out and the knowledge led her to fear for the Captain.
It was no secret that Chakotay held an unrequited infatuation with the Captain. He had tried for nearly six years to get her to give into him, no matter how long she told him she was not interested he kept trying. When Kathryn brought Seven on board he turned angry. He constantly threw a fit about the time the two women spent together. He became argumentative, insubordinate, and lately his actions were bordering on obsessive. Seven knew that Commander Tuvok had been keeping an eye on him for the past few months. Both the Astrometrics officers and the Security Chief were concerned about how far he might go to gain control of the situation.
Not just control over Kathryn but control over Voyager as well. By the sound of things it might be time to initiate their plans. She sent a message to Tuvok's station informing him that Chakotay had seen her entering the Captain's quarters last night and that she felt it was time to engage this plans. She got his confirmation and knew that master control had been locked out. Normal operations would continue, but only Tuvok, Seven, and Janeway could command the ship. The voices grew louder and she decided it was time to intervene, but before she could move the ship was rocked by a blast.
"Shields up" Tuvok commanded as they were hit again. "Phasers online."
"Report." Came the Captain's command as she entered the bridge, and angry commander following.
"It's a Borg Cube, captain." Seven told her immediately, "It was hidden from our sensors in the nebula."
"Fire at will, Tuvok." Janeway ordered. "Keep shields on modulating frequency." She had to grip the arms on her chair to stay in her chair when the ship was hit again.
"Shields at 40%." Kim reported as another blast for him to grab his station. "25% Captain.
Before Janeway could give any other order the firing stopped and the cube began to move off. "Seven?" She questioned.
"They are moving away, Captain." The tall blond answered, "They are opening a transwarp corridor."
"Engineering reports warp engines are offline, Captain." Paris inserted. "The warp core was damaged."
"Captain." Seven's voice held an urgency that forced Janeway to sit up a little straighter. "We are too close. We will be pulled along with them."
"Full impulse, Mr. Paris." The Captain ordered, "Get us out of here."
Before he could comply with her order the ship gave a massive jerk and there were drug into the transwarp behind the Borg cube. The only thing they could do was hang on for the ride. There shields were low, the weapons knocked offline, and the engines were out. On top of that they had no idea of where they were headed or were they would come out.
"As soon as we come out of Transwarp I want us at full impulse, Tom. Get us of there quick." She ordered before turning to look at her blonde lover, "any idea where we will come out Seven?" Could it be the Alpha Quadrant? Was the unasked question. It was the question playing on everyone's mind.
Seven looked at her with her sky blue eyes. "At this moment I am unsure, Captain." They ignored Chakotay's snort of disgust. Janeway studied her. There was something the blonde wasn't saying and that scared her. Seven wasn't known for holding back. She stood up, "Seven you are with me in my ready room."
As seven stood Chakotay mumbled, none too quietly, "Go ahead and fuck the bitch while we have to clean up this mess."
"Commander Chakotay!" Janeway warned her voice full of anger, "That is enough! Report to engineering for a status update. Tuvok, you have the bridge." She hung around long enough to make sure the commander left the bridge and then she turned and led Seven to her ready room. "What is it, Annika?" She asked as soon as the door closed.
Seven stepped closer, knowing what would happen. "It's taking us out of this galaxy, Kathryn. It's taking us to the Pegasus Galaxy. 3 million light years from home."
The older redhead collapsed and Seven scooped her up. "Computer lock Captain's ready room. Seven of Nine Blue Phi Beta 46." She commanded carrying her lover to the couch.
To everyone on the ship Captain Kathryn Janeway was a rock, unmovable and always strong. Seven was the only one who ever got to see the emotional, passionate, vulnerable Kathryn. She knew how strongly she worried. How much it hurt to watch her crew suffer. Seven even knew how hard the news was for her partner to take. So she did the only thing that she could. She held Kathryn close, rocking lightly, kissing her forehead and whispering loving words.
After 15 long minutes Janeway finally pulled back. "What am I going to do, Annika?"
Seven smiled leaning in and kissed her lightly. Just as Seven only saw the Captain's emotions, Kathryn was the only one to see hers. That simple kiss contained all her love. She pulled back and wiped Kathryn's tears away. "You are going to do what you always do. Go out there, be Captain Janeway and get your people home."
That was all it took to clam to Captain's emotions down. She dried her eyes and looked at her lover. "Thank you my darling." She gently cupped the young woman's cheek. "I am so very thankful to have you." She studied her for a few more moments then she allowed herself to slip back into Captain mode. "How long will we be in transwarp?"
"I would estimate approximate 4 to 5 days." Seven told her.
"Do they know we are here?" Janeway asked.
"No, but as soon as we drop out they will." Seven told her. "There attack was most likely an attempt to disable us. Their mission would be more important to them than we were."
Janeway tilted her head slightly to one side. "Have they been there before?"
"Yes." Seven answered. "The last time was about 50 years ago." She could tell that the Captain was waiting for more. She sighed. "I don't know what is there Kathryn. All I know is that about 250 years ago the Queen was topped off to the presence of something in the Pegasus Galaxy. She never shared the information with the collective so I do not know what was there or who tipped her off. She sent a cube to investigate but it never came back. Now every 50 years or so she orders another one to the Pegasus Galaxy."
"Why?" Kathryn asked, "Why send more?"
"The only reason that they would have for not returning was if they were destroyed." Seven explained. "Any civilization that could destroy the Borg would be of great interest so they would periodically send a cube to see if they had advanced enough to win."
Janeway was quiet for a while contemplating the new information. Eventually she spoke, "Alright. This mystery will have to wait. When you have time I would like for you to run a search for any information in the database on the Pegasus galaxy. I would like to know what we might be up against." When Seven nodded she added, "For now the most important this is to get the ship working and figure out what we are going to do once we get to our destination."
Shaking her head a little she sighed, "I'm not sure how the crew is going to take this news. We were making such good process and then this. We will never get home in our life time."
"You will figure something out, Kathryn." Seven assured her. "You always do." She reached up and cupped her lover's cheek. "I know you want to get your people home, but I think it's time you think of other options as well." Seven's voice was gentle.
"What do you mean Annika?" Kathryn asked even though she knew.
"Who knows what we might find when we get there, Kathryn." Seven told her. "Maybe an alternate method home or maybe it is time to consider settling down and making our own home."
"I know." Kathryn admitted after a few moments. "And you're right, but I can't help but feel…" she shook her head again. "I'm not sure what I feel at this moment." She admitted. "I just know things will be rough. Some of the crew will be extremely angry. And add Chakotay to that and we could be looking at serious problems."
She reached over and took her lover's hand. "I want you to be very careful, my darling. Commander Chakotay is very upset about us and I'm worried about what he might try."
"Do not worry, Kathryn." Seven tried to assure her, "Commander Tuvok and I have already initiated our plans. He will not get the ship."
Kathryn smiled a little sadly, "I never doubted that, my love." She said, "But I'm talking about you personally. I'm sacred for what he might do to try and harm you, Annika."
"I am quite capable of protecting myself, Kathryn." Seven's tone was insulted.
"I know that, my darling." The Captain assured her. "But please, until this is settled humor me and keep someone with you to watch your back. I wouldn't know how to live without you."
"Kathryn." Seven answered. "As much as I know that you love me I also know that you would survive without me if you had to. You are a strong woman."
The Captain reached up to caress her face. "My Darling." She smiled softly "Surviving is not the same as living. You give me life, love, passion, security, and happiness. You are the only one who I have ever been comfortable being myself around. To know that I can show weakness, fear, or pain around you and you won't think worse of me. That to me is priceless."
"I love you, Kathryn." Seven told her leaning and capturing her lips again in a deep kiss. The older woman moaned at the soft lips and gentle pressure. She leaned up and into the kiss savoring the joy she always felt when she and Seven kissed.
She only pulled back when she had to draw air into her lungs. She leaned her head against Seven's supple chest and sighed deeply. "I love you, Annika. I'm not sure what will happen in the next few days, where we will end up or what we will decide to do, but as long as you are with me, in the end that is what matters most to me."
"I'm not going anywhere, Kathryn." Seven rubbed her lover's back gently. "I promise you I will never leave you and as long as I can I will do everything in my power to get you and the crew of Voyager home."
"I know, darling. I know." Seven assured her.
Commander Tuvok to Captain Janeway. The Vulcan's voice interrupted their silence.
Kathryn sighed, Go ahead Commander.
Captain, Lt. Torres is ready to give a report about the damage done to engineering.
Alright, Tuvok. Gather the senior staff in the conference room and I'll be there in a moment. Janeway told him pulling back from the blonde and straightening her shoulders, Janeway out.
She took a deep breath brought herself back to her command presence. "Come on seven, let's go find out what B'Elanna can tell us"
Seven didn't answer as she silently followed her Captain out of the room and into the conference room.
