Summary: It's been years, and now Sam is back to being in command of Atlantis. She's happy to be home but soon realizes she's gotten more then she's bargained for when Rodney's secret personal life comes to the forefront of Atlantis and now she has to deal with a certain bratty Queen Harmony McKay.
Rare Ships: Rodney/Harmony
Notes: This takes place years in the future since the "Harmony" episode so Harmony is no longer 13.
I am making this fic to celebrate the new SyFy series the Stargate producers are making, "Dark Matter" which at the time of starting this hasn't come out yet but anyway Jodelle Ferland (Harmony) is a main character in it and David Hewlett (Rodney McKay) will be a recurring character. So yay their together again! Anyway now with the story!
Sam didn't know when it started or why Rodney went through the gate by himself daily to P3X-766. All she did know was no one really knew much about it, and those few that did never really talked about it. She was the leader of this expedition again, and it had taken her a lot to get back. And now she just wanted to do things right again and that should include knowing what her people where doing off world especially if it was one of her main staff by themselves.
She had expected reports of his off world trips but revived none regarding it. She wondered how Woolsey could have let him get away with that over the years. She thought he always seemed like a straight uptight rule book but apparently not? So she looked up her own past paper work too see was there on it. Apparently P3X-766 was a trading partner that John and Rodney had both been too in the past securing their relationship with them. Sam vaguely remembered it but didn't find anything that would be so interesting that would require a daily visit in the report other then the mention of the Ruins of Larris that was used to research and develop drone technology. Sam wondered if that meant Rodney had made some important discovery in that field then, but why wouldn't he say so? Or take a team of scientists with him?
Sam smirked to herself."Ego." She thought. "Maybe Rodney was close to something ground breaking and he wanted to be the one to claim all the credit." Sam frowned. "But for him to be so invested in something for years doesn't make sense that he wouldn't have been bragging about something that must be big." So Sam decided to try asking Rodney on it.
She had heard the gate activate and saw Rodney coming back through. Rodney had started walking past. "McKay." She called.
"Hmmm?" Rodney picked his head up after apparently being deep in thought and look up. "Oh Sam. You need something?" He asked.
Sam crossed her arms neatly. "Just wondering what you where up too."
"Heading to the lab. Gotta make sure Zelenka didn't blow up anything on my city since I've been gone."
Sam tilted her head noticing he hadn't answered her question.
"Yeah. Well I guess I'll leave you too it, but I do expect a report on my desk when you have the chance."
Rodney frowned. His mouth slightly slanted like all ways. "Report? I've given you my reports on all of my missions and lab experiments for the week. If you're missing one one of the idiots here must have spilled coffee on it and threw it away."
He gave Chuck and his coffee cup a hard expression. "How many times have I told you not too place liquids near the delicate and old equipment Chuck! You know how many times I have to send out my people to repair things just because someone gets stuff wet!" He scolded.
Chuck paled and picked up his cup.
Sam noticed this was getting off track and Rodney was preparing a rant to the other technicians. "Rodney. I was referring to the mission you just went on."
Rodney snapped his head back to Sam and raised an eyebrow with a look of confusion. "Mission?"
Sam titled her head towards the gate trying to be calm and patient. She gave him a smile. "You did just come from the Stargate."
Rodney's eyebrows shot up. "Oh that. No Sam that wasn't a mission."
Sam had opened her mouth and ask what he meant by that but Rodney looked at his watch instead.
"Now I have left my minions unattended for long enough. Who knows what those half brains could have fumbled up while I was gone."
Rodney left and Sam sighed even more confused.
She looked to Chuck who seemed to be concerned what to do with what coffee he had left. "Do you know what he does over there?" Sam asked.
Chuck looked up at her. "Sorry Ma'am. His personal life isn't any of my business. I just dial the gate."
Sam raised her eyebrow and thought, "Personal life?"
When Sam realized she couldn't get any answers from Rodney himself she decided to try asking Colonel Sheppard about it. He had went to P3X-766 himself after all so maybe he knew. However John didn't want to talk about it. He seemed rather odd about it and basically said the same as Chuck. That what Rodney did was Rodney's thing and that it wasn't anything to get involved with.
Next she tried the scientists, while Rodney was away of course, but they knew nothing. All they knew was they where happy with the arrangement. Sam thought that was a little odd considering his times away from Atlantis daily took away from his time their in the lab, but Dr. Kusanagi insisted Rodney still worked more hours then any of them. Usually using his own personal time when he wasn't hanging out with Sheppard, or during the night. Zelenka said it was good to have Rodney away for a time each day. It gave the scientists quiet, calming time to work and be at ease without Rodney's ranting.
In the end Sam gave up. She let it go despite herself. She just couldn't get any answers. Perhaps everyone was right. Even if she was in charge of Atlantis that didn't mean she needed to know what her people did in their own time. So Sam went on figuring it didn't matter. That it would be just one thing she'd never get clued into. That was.. Until one day a few months later when a girl holding a huge gun and an army that looked like a cross between medieval knights and modern century military came through the Stargate to defend Atlantis from the Genii... And did that little girl just call Rodney her husband?...
