Secrets
Stargate atlantis/Macgyver crossover
Chapter one:to
For John Atlantis was his life, he could honestly say he couldn't remember much before joining the Air force so therefore the Air force and the SGC was pretty much his life. But something nagged him from time to time there was this hole, a constant gap in his memory, it all started when he woke up in the hospital bed all those years ago, no one knew who he was or where he came from and no one came to claim him so he kind of accepted it and moved on. That's when he met the Sheppard family, they were a nice family but not is own, they kind of adopted him one day after they got to know in the hospital. John always thought they took pity on him because he was alone and had nowhere to go. However, that was the past but it doesn't mean he doesn't think about it every now and again. They always seemed to be the same questions, Was he in an accident? did he have family? was John his real name or was his name something else? John he had to admit just seemed right at the time, but about all these things he seemed to know, this was the biggest mystery why did he have this strange affinity for numbers and science perhaps one day he would pick up the courage to find out.
John wouldn't admit it to Rodney or Elizabeth or to anyone else in the SGC though, the fact that he did actually understand a lot of what the scientists in Atlantis were doing and in fact from time to time would love to jump in and tell them when they were wrong and correct their mistakes (for they made so many) especially McKay and his ego, but something held him back. Was it fear, was he more comfortable hiding behind this mask that he had created to protect himself. John wasn't sure but he knew that if they took him away from flying and his command and shoved him a lab he'll hate it and go stir crazy. Lost in thought once again it was the sound of a Czech accent that made him look up, Radek was arguing with Rodney again, he chuckled to himself when he heard Radek call Rodney 'dobrý zprostředkující zařízení šprýmař' in his native language. Where this ability came from to understand him he didn't know but it was certainly helpful from time to time and Radek wasn't the only one he could understand but he would keep that to himself for now because it would give him the element of surprise, anyway John prodded on with his paperwork and for now these questions were just going to have to wait in line, for he had a lot to do today, and the Deadalus was due arrive anytime soon so dwelling on the past wasn't going to help keep to his schedule.
Pushing these thoughts back into the depth of his mind John smiled as he finished the last pages turning his thoughts to that of flying and his trip in the jumper in the mainland with Teyla after his meeting with Elizabeth later this afternoon. But first he had to meet and greet his newest recruits arriving on the Deadalus, that was always an interesting occasion.
