This is my homage to Lt. Col John Sheppard and the essence that makes him so great.
Enjoy! Reviews welcomed and hoped for! :)
++ Stargate Atlantis is not mine. But I'm thankful for such a great show.
Twenty-Six Ways
A = Ants
Rodney slowly opened his eyes, his body throbbed in pain along to the pounding in his head; a blurry figure stood nearby. He tried to focus on it, but
succumbed to the darkness that beckoned him.
Hours later his eyes fluttered open as he felt someone touch his arm. Colonel Sheppard's face came into focus.
"Sheppard?" groaned Rodney.
He felt his arm being moved and blinked groggily as John stared at him with heavy eyes.
John was rubbing something gently onto his arm.
"It's to help with the bites."
"Wha…?"
"Watch where you're walking next time, Rodney…only you could fall into an alien crevice filled with freakin' mutant death ants…y'almost died you idiot…"
"S...sorry..."
"Shut up, McKay...go...go back to sleep.."
Rodney noticed the worry etched across John's face, then slowly closed his eyes.
