This story has been completely revised from the older version.

I am doing my best to get all my old stories up to date and completed. Please read and review, I need to know if there is still interest in this story to continue? Other wise I will close it down and concentrate on others.

A Life Less Ordinary

Chapter One

It was midday - John was sparring with Teyla in the training hall; Ronon was in the mess hall polishing of a plate of food, whilst Rodney and Radek were arguing over a piece of Ancient Technology, which had been discovered on a recent mission.

Elizabeth had just finished lunch and was nearing her office when she was asked to sign a requisition form from a fellow worker. When she had finished checking over the data on the pad and signed it, she continued on her way.

Seconds before she reached her office, something on the inside exploded with such a force; she was propelled backwards from the blast.

--

John and Teyla stopped fighting, when the cities alarms suddenly activated. John took hold of both sticks in one hand and rushed over to his sports bag near the window to find his mic. The minute he found it, he placed it in the relevant ear before activating it. "Report."

--

Half hour later

John found himself in the Infirmary again, a place he couldn't seem to get away from. Only this time he wasn't the causality. Elizabeth had been brought in having suffered minor injuries caused by an explosion, which emanated from her office.

Teyla was with him; Rodney and Ronon had just turned up.

"What happened? asked Rodney. "I was told there was an explosion in the Control Tower. Was anyone hurt?"

"Keep you voice down McKay." Complained John and pulled him aside for a quiet word. "Elizabeth was caught in the explosion. They're taken-care off her now."

Rodney's eyes widened in horror, "How bad?"

"Minor. She was lucky, had she arrived any sooner…" John paused on that note, not wishing to think on what could've happened.

"Do we know the cause of the explosion?"

John shrugged his shoulders. "No. A forensic team is searching for clues as we speak."

Carson appeared and he called for John's attention. "Colonel. She's awake and wishes to speak with you."

John nodded, asking the others to wait, before following. "How is she Doc?"

"She's a little shaken up, but all things considered she'll make a full recovery."

"That's good to hear."

Elizabeth's bed was on the far side of the room, the usual monitors all in place. Her left arm was in a sling, and a dressing covered the right side of her forehead.

Elizabeth smiled when she saw John. "It isn't as bad as it looks."

He took her hand. "I promise will find out what happened?"

Suddenly John's earpiece activated. "Sheppard."

"Colonel," came Radek's voice, "we think we found the cause of the explosion."

Hearing the conversation, Elizabeth shot a curious glance at John. "That was quick."
