Two Roads
She doesn't know where she is, at first. She's positive she's never seen this place before, and yet – it feels oddly familiar. Dark metallic-looking hallways; the air is thin. She passes by a window – nothing but the blackness of night and bright stars.
She rounds a corner, steps into a large room, and suddenly she recognizes the place: she's on the Destiny, the improbable ship her wayward husband is trapped on – yes, this is exactly how he described it. And the large round object… that, she decides, that must be the infamous Stargate.
Emily slowly walks up to it and reaches out to touch it. She sees her hand making contact but she can't feel anything.
"What are you doing here," a sharp voice demands. She whips around and spots a tall slender woman in a dark leather dress and long coat pointing a gun at her.
Emily raises her hands. "Where is Everett?"
The woman barks out a cruel laugh, gesturing over her shoulder with her weapon.
"I will make sure he dies a slow and painful death – a fitting punishment for his crime."
Emily's heart sinks.
"What did he do," she whispers.
The woman looks at her. "He was in the wrong place at the wrong time. As are you."
And with that she raises the gun again and pulls the trigger.

Emily wakes up, bathed in sweat, her heart beating wildly in her chest.
She quickly turns on the bedside lamp.
She's home.
