Okay so this is my first Stargate Atlantis fic. This is like a massive songfic. But trust me. It's not your average one. So please review?
Zelenka was getting really annoyed. He had started mumbling swear words in Czech more than two hours ago and was at his wits end.
Himself, Rodney and a few other scientists were working in a lab where they had found many storage devices. They were currently trying to figure out which ones had things in them and what didn't.
"Don't touch that! Do you want to release whatever's in there and kill us all!"
Zelenka sighed and turned back to his tablet when he heard a crash from behind him.
He turned to see Rodney on the ground, a storage device on the ground beside him. It was blinking and there seemed to be a mist coming from it.
"Bože!" he yelled and went to see if the fallen scientist was okay but found himself unable to get to him. There was some invisible barrier between him and Rodney.
Then the strangest thing happened.
McKay started to sing?
"I woke up it was seven I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare
I waited till eleven
Just to figure out that no one would call
I think I've got a lot of friends but I don't hear from them
What's another night all alone?
When your spending everyday on your own
And here it goes
I'm just a kid, I know that it's not fair
Nobody cares, cause I'm alone and the world is
Having more fun than me
Tonight...
Yes he was definitely singing. Zelenka hadn't known Rodney could sing. He could hear another scientist behind him talking to someone on his earpiece, presumably getting help. I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare
"And maybe when the night is dead, I'll crawl into my bed
Staring at these four walls again
I'll try to think about the last time, I had a good time
Everyone's got somewhere to go
And they're gonna leave me here on my own and here it goes
I'm just a kid, I know that it's not fair
Nobody cares, cause I'm alone and the world is
Having more fun than me"
Behind him Sheppard, Weir, Carson and a team of medics arrived.
"What the fuck is wrong with me?
Don't fit in with anybody
How did this happen to me?
Wide awake I'm bored and I can't fall asleep
And every night is the worst night ever"
He quietly filled them in about what had happened as they stared opened mouthed at McKay. "I'm just a kid
I'm just a kid
I'm just a kid
I'm just a kid
I'm just a kid I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare I'm all alone tonight
I'm just a kid, I know that it's not fair
Nobody cares, cause I'm alone and the world is
Nobody wants to be alone in the world.
I'm just a kid, I know that it's not fair
Nobody cares, cause I'm alone and the world is
Nobody wants to be alone in the world
Nobody cares, cause I'm alone and the world is
Having more fun than me tonight
Nobody cares tonight
Cause I'm just a kid tonight
Then as the song finished and the music- and where had that come from?- died his eyes rolled into the back of his head and he collapsed. The medics ran forward, no barrier apparent, and a nurse took his pulse.
"It's erratic," she said, "We need to get him on a ventilator."
They got him on a stretcher and took him away.
"What them on a ventilator."
They got him on a stretcher and took him away.
"What the hell was that?" asked Sheppard, still staring as they rolled him down the hall.
"Whatever entity had been in the container must have caused it. Though I don't know how," said Zelenka.
"Well find out," said Weir.
And they left to go to the Infirmary.
