Nobody Gets Left Behind
Ronon took a deep breath before entering Carter's office, the office that had once been Elizabeth's.
"Ronon," she smiled, looking up from her desk. "Come in. Have a seat."
He enters, but doesn't sit, doesn't see the need.
"What can I do for you?" she asked.
"I just…" he began. "I wanted to apologize," he said.
She gave him an odd look. "For what?"
"For… for the way I treated you. Before. When I asked you to let my friends on Atlantis. You were right."
"For the record, I didn't think things would turn out quite the way they did," she said apologetically.
"Yeah. Anyway… I thought I'd say sorry. Some of the leaders from your planet…" he started. "They don't always understand. The 'nobody gets let behind' thing. I thought you would be like them. I thought… I was wrong. You went in there with us. I didn't expect that."
Sam shrugged. "I aim to exceed expectations."
Ronon quietly pondered his next statement. "You're not Dr. Weir."
"I don't try to be."
"I respect that."
