Operation-Rolling Thunder

A/N This is an AU story it takes place in a universe based on End War. I'll attempt to include an explanation of different organizations mentioned and if you have any additional question just let me know and I'll be happy to answer them.

Now here's a basic breakdown of Tom Clancy's End War's universe. (I'll get to Stargate stuff eventually)

End War universe- World War III has broken out between the JSF (America), EUC (Mainland Europe), SPZ (Russia), and China. China is not in the game so I don't have a 3 letter abrevation for them however they will be getting their own special team. The UK is not part of the European Enforcer's and are neutral at the start of the story maintaining close ties with JSF and EUC. Oil is the cause of the war when Iran and Saudi Arabia annihilate each other in a nuclear exchange. Canada is neutral however both Canada and the New commonwealth (UK) are allowing the EUC and JSF to defend bases in their territory as are many other countries. This has caused smaller conflicts to break out across the world where EUC and JSF forces engage SPZ and Chinese forces in and near each other's bases. I hope that made sense.

The last part was created solely for this story but right up to and including the new commonwealth allowing the defense of EUC bases is all canon. Also for the purposes of this story the EUC and JSF will still be allied as they are in the book. I've also added many other things into this universe which are just relevant to the story and should be indentified because they aren't something we'll have in 20 years Also the names should provide some hint IE Atlantis isn't in the universe. I'm almost done with this I promise. If you would like more information on the kick ass game you can find it at coming to the 360 this fall. Oh and it's all voice command. Now I'm done talking about video games and I'll get back to Stargate.

Pairing- John/Teyla

Spoilers- Nothing maybe a name or two but it would be totally obvious like Atlantis or wraith.

I think I'm just missing a disclaimer now aren't I? well I guess I should add that shouldn't I? lol

Disclaimer- I own no part of the Stargate world or the End War world. Just a beta tester for the latter and a fan of the former. I might be including a Halo reference (Such as the title) as well and I own no part of that world either. And without further delay the actual story.

Chapter 1

Northern Africa JSF field base

His RAH-66 Comanche touched down near the hanger and was moved inside before John even got a chance to get out. When his squad's helicopters were safely inside he climbed out and greeted the other two members of his team, "Aidan you've got to stay low and fast don't risk the AA catching you out in the open."

Aidan jumped down and inspected the bullet holes in the side of his aircraft he'd taken a few rounds when he slowed his aircraft during the mission. He nodded to his new Colonel he was a bit too friendly but he didn't want to say anything. "Lorne that was some nice maneuvering out there but next time can you do it more than five feet from my bird," Aidan laughed as his old friend checked over his own aircraft which had barely survived a missile attack.

"Thanks I barely made it through that one looks like they hadn't upgraded to the newest version though otherwise it would have hit me and not the flares," he noted the shrapnel lodged a few inches below the cockpit.

"Cadman how'd your mission go?" they heard the Colonel call across the hanger. They'd been trying to get her attention for months and laughed under their breath and this Lt. Colonel's attempts to strike up a conversation with her especially since everyone on base knew she had a thing for the Doctor.

To their surprise she turned around and walked straight at him, "Helluva shot flyboy you nearly wiped out my flight when you hit that fuel depo."

He backed away sensing the danger, "Hey you guys were clear and I called the AWACS and he gave me permission to fire."

Her pace slowed and she cracked a smile, "You did take out their fuel though so I guess we're good for today." She left the reinforced bunker and headed back to the mess hall.

Sheppard turned back towards them and the briefing officer who was now making her way over to their team. She always personally saw to the returning teams no matter how busy she was and she seemed to have grown close to the Colonel, "What trouble did you get yourself into today John?"

"Usual although Lorne over there managed to pull off some pretty fancy stuff to avoid an old Russian missile."

She smiled at him, "You did something General wants to see you in his office ASAP."

"See you later Liz," he said heading out of the hanger and straight to his CO's office.

"So what maneuver did you pull Evan?" She turned to back to Lorne and looked over the teams birds admiring the shots they'd taken.

As he walked into the office he was greeted by a cool breeze from the AC. Africa hadn't seen major fighting yet so it was slower than his previous assignment right in heart of the fighting. He had managed to avoid Europe which was just 24/7 fighting but Afghanistan had been bad once Russian and China had decided that it would make a nice addition. He smiled at the secretary a nice kid he didn't say much to John just waved him through. He entered the general's office and snapped to attention. He wasn't used to the new general and his previous CO, Colonel Sumner, and been a stickler for protocol although General O'Neill appeared a bit more lax. "At ease Sheppard," he said hanging up his phone.

"I was told to report to you immediately sir."

"Yes, you're being transferred," he said taking rifling through all the papers on his desk before grabbing one that appeared to be his transfer order.

"Again sir why?"

"Ask her," he said as the door silently clicked shut behind him.

He knew someone else was in the room but resisted the urge to turn around and face her. He met the Generals gaze with his own ice cold expression, "Hello John."

His expression immediately dropped and he turned around to see the only woman he'd ever loved, "You?" he said angrily.

The smile she had been wearing immediately disappeared and was replaced with a look of concern and worry, "General please give us a moment alone."

He got up and smiled, "Sure use my office."

She walked over and sat in his chair as the door shut, "Take a seat John."

He remained standing, "Why am I being transferred again?"

"That's my fault I wanted you transferred back," she said putting her feet up on the desk. "Look John I'm truly sorry about what happened.

He cut her off having waited for this conversation for years, "About what? Nearly getting me killed? Getting me kicked out? Or for just for screwing up in general?"

"Everything I am truly sorry I…I thought," she paused for a moment regaining her composure. "It doesn't matter now what's done is done."

"So why did you have me transferred?"

She smiled taking a file and handing it to him, "I need you for a mission."

"I…I hope you accept," she said emotionally. She didn't know why she chose him for this mission and she hated the way he made her feel she wasn't used to feeling any kind of emotional attachment to her fellow personnel. She knew that she couldn't afford to be attached to her partner for the mission but something told her that John was the only one for the job and it might help make up for what she'd done to him.

Her face dropped as he remained frozen, "Tey what's the matter?" she didn't respond and he immediately knew that something was different about her she used to be much less emotional and he knew that the training they'd undergone wasn't known for making people soft. "Hey what's the mission?" he smiled at her hoping to cheer her up.

"I'm sorry we've been experimenting with some stuff and it has some side effects," she said sitting up and giving him a weak smile.

"You're on drugs?" he asked concernedly and moved around the desk next to her taking her pulse.

"I'm fine John and it was just for this last mission don't worry they'll all be gone by the time our mission starts."

He smiled and brushed her hair away from her face, "You'll be back to your old heatless self?"

She smiled, "Yes John and I have missed you."

He knew that this was the end of their professional conversation and that he needed to take advantage of this emotional Teyla and get some answers, "I think we should talk about what happened at the farm."

She knew that this was coming she was ashamed of what'd she done and he had done so much for her, "John as I said I am sorry I did not mean for it to happen the way it did."

He was still kneeling next to her and he began flipping through the transfer order, "But why'd you do it?"

"You were quite old for regular training and we were told to be wary of everything," she paused judging his expression. "I…After we were together I was worried that you're mission was to seduce me and get me kicked out of the program." Her voice was weak and her body showed the signs of extreme stress, "That morning I went to them and told them everything and…and I heard that when they went to my quarters you…you were there waiting for me and I've always regretted not seeing you again."

"But why didn't you report me for the flirting, the dates and stuff?"

"I…I enjoyed it if you remember I also partook in the flirting and I asked you out first."

He remained kneeling next to her gently running his fingers through her hair, "Then why report me at all?"

When he had first ran his fingers through her hair she hadn't even taken note of it but when he stopped she realized what he had been doing and she was surprised at how easily they had fallen into their old habits. She turned to him her eyes soft looking for forgiveness in his, "You first wanted to take our relationship to the next level and I…I was afraid that you were as I said a test, one I had fallen for."

Her reasoning helped but she had had him carted off like he was nothing as if their time together had meant nothing, "I…I can't tell you it didn't hurt knowing that you just had me sent off I thought I meant more to you than that."

She held back a sob as a tear silently slid down her cheek, "You are taking advantage of me and the state I'm in."

"Yes I am," he said smiling at her as he got up. He had some of what he needed and didn't want to push her any further.

It only took her a moment for her normal composed personality to reassert itself, "Report to the farm in three days to reacquaint yourself with protocol and then well I really can't say."

He smiled at her a smile she had always found irresistible, "How about a hint?"

She had prepared for this deciding on just the right hint during the flight to his base, "Plato."

"Plato?" he asked.

She nodded smiling he would never dissect it in time there was no way he would be able to figure out from Plato that they were going to the most advanced facility operated by the EUC and JSF

She left as he sat there going over her little hint, "See you in two weeks John."

"Bye Teyla."
