Rodney awoke in the dark with no memory of how he got there or even where he was. Groaning he sat up and looked around there to his left was Ronon and Teyla, both unconscious but breathing, but where was John and where were they. Looking around he recognised where he was, a cell on a Wraith Hive, rather odd cell on a Wraith Hive. There was a bed an actual bed with frame and mattress, a sink with what appeared to be running water and a pitch black piece of material completely covering one corner of the cell.
Before anything more than a cursory glance could be made the cell doors opened and Todd the Wraith dragged John into the cell, dropped him and left. A noise behind him had Rodney wiping around to see the curtain retreat and a young woman step cautiously out.
"Can I smell blood, who's bleeding" The woman paused and sniffed
"Is...is that coffee I smell?" She looked confused, sniffed again; a look of dawning comprehension appeared on her face before it was overtaken by a bright smile.
"Doctor McKay" Then the smile faded and a look of worry and apprehension appeared.
"Are you bleeding Doctor McKay? Wait I can smell gun powder and C4, who else is here?"
Rodney decided to ignore her and turned to assess John's injury. He had a stab wound on his chest that was bleeding freely. The woman suddenly moved towards them, it was a cautiously slow walk across the cell, before she knelt slowly next to John, patting around ground and floor before gentle placing her hand on his chest and feeling around for the wound. Rodney found this behaviour strange and then he saw, her eyes were completely white no iris or pupil just white as was her hair. A glow in his peripheral vision caught his attention and he turned back to John and watched as her hand glowed a soft white and the skin of John's chest heal rapidly.
"Who are you?, What are you? Are you an Ancient?"
"I take it I'm not recognisable anymore." Sigh "I'm Corinthea Pendregan, I used to work for you Doctor McKay, I was taken by the Wraith on my first away mission, the only casualty. I was the last to go through the gate just as a dart passed overhead. Been here ever since."
"Pendregan, the state ward that the IOA said we had to take?"
"Yes only I don't think I'm still a ward of the state, I'd have to be at least 20 something now"
"You don't know how old you are?"
"Time doesn't pass the same when you're in space without anything to note the time"
"Your 22, what happened because I don't remember healing powers and the blindness?"
"I had an allergic reaction to the enzyme that the Wraith inject when they feed. There I was waiting for the pain with a wraith standing in front of me hand attached to my chest when I go into convulsions and pass out. When I woke up I couldn't see and the wraith were fighting over who got to feed on me first. Apparently I'm a never-ending buffet made up of all the best food with the ability to heal both animate and inanimate material"
