Summary : Ellie and the rest of Atlantis get to see a darker side of Lorne that they never knew existed and they're all about to find out just how evil and depraved the Major can be.
"Steven won't stop crying lately and I don't know what to do with him", Lyssa Sheppard said as she squatted next to Dr Ellie Lorne who was sat on the floor of her lab seemingly doing nothing.
"Have you taken him to see Dr Keller?", Ellie asked and Lyssa nodded.
"Yeah…she says he's fine though".
"Ah well….maybe you just got a wailer this time around", Ellie said and Lyssa sighed.
"Connor was such a good baby…", she mused and Ellie smiled thinking how good the twins had been up to now.
"So….what are you doing anyhow?", Lyssa asked and Ellie grinned.
"I'm preparing for my hot date", she replied and Lyssa frowned at her.
"Hot date?", she asked and Ellie nodded, still continuing to sit on the floor, not moving.
"Dr Keller gave me the all clear last week but I've been planning tonight for weeks now. Chrissie and Ronon are going to watch the twins and Hope for us so that I can finally have Evan all to myself".
Lyssa looked around before looking back at her friend.
"So how does sitting on the floor doing nothing get you ready for a night of hot sex?", she queried and Ellie laughed.
"I'm not sitting here doing nothing…..I'm doing pelvic floor exercises".
"Pelvic what?", Lyssa asked sitting down properly next to her friend.
"Pelvic floor exercises…..they tighten you up…you know…inside", Ellie replied, colouring a little and Lyssa suddenly clicked.
"Oh right, I see. So what do you do?", she asked thinking it couldn't harm to have a go herself.
"Just stay still and clench", Ellie advised and Lyssa did so, nodding and smiling at Ellie as she began to count in her head how many she was doing.
Just then McKay walked in and stopped in his tracks as he saw the two women sat on the floor.
"What are you doing?", he asked.
"Pelvic floor exercises", Lyssa replied and Rodney grimaced and looked away.
"That is disgusting", he muttered, opening his laptop and Ellie laughed as she got up.
"Oh Rodney you just don't understand", she said and he shook his head and wagged a finger at her.
"No and I don't want to. Could we please just get on with running today's diagnostics".
"Of course we can….I can just stand right here next to you and do my exercises….you'd never know…", Ellie replied moving closer to him and Rodney muttered something incoherent before moving around the bench away from her.
Ellie grinned at him as Lyssa stood up.
"I think I'll keep up with those too", she said and Ellie nodded.
"Ugh…..", Rodney said, shaking his head at them both and Lyssa said,
"Hey, why aren't you off-world with the other guys?".
"I have stuff to do here…..going on that kind of mission just really isn't my thing", Rodney replied and Ellie frowned and looked from Rodney to Lyssa.
"Why? What kind of mission have they gone on?", she asked.
"Angelique has gone missing from the planet that Dr Weir had the Catheans re-located to. Alandro made contact earlier this morning and asked if we could send people to bring her back, he gave Colonel Carter the gate address that Angelique had used", Lyssa said and Ellie folded her arms worriedly.
"Did Evan go with them?", she asked and Rodney nodded.
"I saw him leave with the others", he confirmed and Ellie sighed.
"Well I hope someone else comes across Angelique before he does", she said and Lyssa agreed.
After what Angelique had done to him and Lyssa, Lorne had never really been comfortable with the fact that Weir had negotiated an uneasy alliance of sorts with the Catheans as he didn't trust them….especially Angelique.
"I'm sure it'll all go swimmingly…..so now can we please carry on, oh and could you please leave", Rodney said looking pointedly at Lyssa who glared at him before leaving the lab.
OOoOO
"You okay?", Sheppard asked of Lorne as they made their way through a wooded area, following Ronon as he tracked Angelique.
"Yeah sure, I just want to catch this bitch and then get back to Atlantis", Lorne replied and Sheppard nodded.
Up ahead Ronon indicated that they were almost upon Angelique's hide-out and Sheppard signalled for Lorne and Reece to spread out.
From their separated hiding places, Lorne, Sheppard, Ronon and Reece watched as Angelique appeared from the building, a group of very attractive women following her out into the open.
"Hello….what do we have here?", Sheppard said suspiciously into his comms and Lorne frowned as he watched as the women gathered around Angelique.
He watched and listened as she tossed her long blonde hair over her shoulders and began a speech about women being more powerful than men could ever imagine and that men should be used as and when required.
Lorne felt his anger begin to rise the more he listened to the woman who had nearly managed to destroy his marriage and he failed to hear one of Angelique's soldiers as he crept up on him and he sank into unconsciousness as he was hit on the back of the head with something heavy.
Sheppard groaned loudly as he saw two soldiers appear, dragging an unconscious Lorne in between them.
They thrust him onto the ground in front of Angelique and she knelt and stroked his face.
"I knew you would come to find me Major", she said and Sheppard frowned as she added, "But you wouldn't have come alone now would you…".
She turned to the soldiers and ordered,
"Find the others".
As the soldiers moved, Sheppard barked into his comms,
"Go!", and he, Ronon and Reece scattered to find cover.
Angelique had a few of the women transfer Lorne inside of the building and they laid him on a cot type bed and then left her alone with him.
She carefully tied his hands behind his back and then let her hands run along his thighs and she sighed.
"I knew you were the right choice", she said as Lorne began to stir and she stood and moved away from him.
As he awoke Lorne began to struggle against the ties at his wrists, his head snapping up as Angelique said,
"Save your energy Major".
"What the hell do you want?", Lorne growled and Angelique smiled, excited by his show of anger.
"You…..amongst other things….", she replied and Lorne shook his head.
"You are outta your mind if you think…….", he trailed off as Angelique produced a hand held device with a button in the middle and she waved it at him.
"What is that?", he asked and Angelique's smile widened.
"How would you like to be in control of the city of Atlantis?", she asked and Lorne frowned at her.
"What are you talking about?".
"Come now Major….it must grate on you sometimes to have to take orders from Sheppard constantly. How would it be if you had the power to command all of the soldiers on Atlantis? They would follow you and you alone", Angelique said and Lorne laughed.
"I don't have a problem with the Colonel being in charge", he told her and Angelique regarded him.
"Well I do……..when I take the city I want you to be the one at my side…..seeing to my safety", she said and Lorne shook his head.
"You are outta your mind".
"We could be good together Major……think of the possibilities……I could make you 'very' happy", Angelique purred.
Lorne laughed again.
"I'm sorry…..I don't do blondes", he told her.
Angelique snarled angrily and moved closer to Lorne, her face inches from his as she said,
"I had hoped you would come around to my way of thinking without me having to use this on you but it doesn't look like that's going to be possible. Say goodbye to your life as a good man Major because when you wake up you wont even remember your name let alone the life you once lead unless I deem it necessary", and with that she pressed the button on the device and Lorne cried out as a severe pain gripped his head and he collapsed sideways onto the cot's mattress.
OOoOO
Sheppard grunted as he was thrust onto his knees in front of Angelique.
"Where's Ronon and Reece?", he said.
"You're concern for your people is admirable Colonel Sheppard. Your two men are outside, unharmed and waiting patiently for your return", Angelique informed him and Sheppard looked up at her.
"Where's Major Lorne?", he asked then frowned as Lorne stepped from the shadows behind Angelique and said,
"I'm right here".
"You're okay?", Sheppard asked and Lorne smiled and looked to Angelique.
"You were right…he is pathetically caring".
"What?!", Sheppard asked, confused by Lorne's statement.
"Keep your mouth shut!", Lorne said, booting Sheppard in the chest and he fell to one side, winded.
"What the hell?", he mumbled as two of Angelique's soldiers set him onto his knees again.
"There are going to be some changes on Atlantis Colonel", Angelique said, "One of them being that you are no longer in charge of security, that is now the Major's role. You will help him do as I wish and if you don't he will kill you".
"Look….I don't know what you think you have planned here but……", Sheppard grunted again as Lorne's boot connected with his ribs once again.
"Would you STOP THAT!", he cried but Lorne just laughed.
"I think it would be wise to give him the implant too…..he isn't going to co-operate", he advised Angelique and she nodded and indicated to her soldiers to grab Sheppard's arms.
He struggled furiously as she approached him with some kind of gun and Lorne had to step forward and punch him square in the jaw so that Angelique could inject him with the chip that would enable her to control him just as she was Lorne.
When that was done she flicked the button and Sheppard felt the same pain that Lorne had earlier.
OOoOO
Some time later, Lorne and Sheppard emerged from the building holding Angelique between them and the soldiers melted away from Ronon and Reece who looked about them with some confusion.
"What's going on?", Ronon asked and Sheppard spoke first to keep up the pretence.
"Her ladyship here has decided to give herself up. We're taking her back to Atlantis to see what Colonel Carter wants to do. Could you two grab the two boxes that are inside….they're full of some kind of chips that I'm sure McKay will find interesting".
As Reece and Ronon moved forward Angelique pretended to be outraged.
"Leave those where they are…..you'll be sorry if you take them to Atlantis", she cried and Lorne smiled wickedly at her as they disappeared inside to get the boxes.
"They have no idea just how sorry", he said and Sheppard and Angelique both laughed along with him as their plan began to take shape.
