Okay, I'm just going to say this people, I have watched a grand total of TWO SGU episodes so if I have anything wrong please correct me so I can improve this.

I was watching Air, part 1 and 2 and I got to wondering about something.

I've had it in my head for the past week as I've been trying to figure out how to write it and I think I've finally got it!

So, if you like it please tell and if you don't like it... please don't tell me :P

Enjoy

Blood Ties (Part 1)

Eli walked along the ancient corridor into the make-shift mess hall and grabbed two cups of hot coffee. He nodded to the SGC soldier who was standing beside the tray of coffee before turning away and walking back along the corridor and off towards the lab he and Rush worked in.

He had a funny feeling that today wasn't going to be so good and he desperately hoped that nothing life-threatening would happen to them... there were only so many near-death experiences a person could take after all.

As he walked into the lab he noticed that Rush was still working at the console he'd been tapping away at when Eli left to get some shut-eye last night (or could he call it early morning?).

He purposely made his footfalls loud and noticeable, and said in a falsely cheery voice, 'Hey! Look at what I've got. Hot coffee!'

He walked over to Rush and placed one of the mugs beside him, noticing the lack of response, 'well hello to you too Eli. Thanks for the coffee it's just what I need to stay standing.' he muttered under his breath as he walked away over to the other console that he'd been working on.

He tapped a few commands in and his screen lit up properly and the search he had been running recommenced. He sipped at his coffee and spent about twenty-minutes sifting through the database before he heard Rush exclaim, 'ELI! MOVE!' and he was tackled by Rush as there was an explosion at his console.

The last thing he remembered was the sound of an alarm and of Scott's voice echoing in his ears. Then it all went black.


When he woke up he found himself lying on a bed, in the newly discovered infirmary. He groaned and sat up. He looked around and saw Scott, Young and T.J standing next to each other and speaking in hushed tones.

He looked around the room, slowly, and said, 'What happened?'

Scott and T.J immediately stopped their discussion and made their way over to him, T.J smiled at him and said, 'hey Eli. How do you feel?'

'Like I got hit by a freight train. What happened?' Eli answered, his throat scratchy and his voice raw.

Scott looked at T.J for a moment before answering, 'we don't really know Eli... you and Rush were working in the lab. And there was some sort of explosion in there, we heard alarms and when we got there we found you and Rush out of it.'

Eli sat there for a moment in silence before asking, 'Where's Dr. Rush?'

'He was injured in the explosion Eli...' T.J said, and seeing Eli's panicked look she hurriedly added, 'but he's not dead. He needs a blood transfusion except...'

'Except what?' Eli asked, afraid of the answer she'd give him.

'Except there's no-one on Destiny who has the same blood type.' She finished sadly, not looking him in the eye.

Eli stared at his hands, that were clasped together tightly, his knuckles white and asked quietly, 'what's his blood type?'

'O negative.' T.J answered checking his head encase he had a concussion.

'I'm O negative.' Eli almost whispered, he felt fingers still as they checked his head.

'You're O negative?' She asked, almost not believing what he was saying.

'Yeah. Take some of my blood.' He answered, a bit louder and more forcefully. 'He saved my life, least I could do is save his.'


T.J took a pint of Eli's blood and transfused it to Rush, hoping that it would help Rush. She knew he had a couple of cracked ribs from where parts of the console had impacted against him and she also knew that he definitely had a concussion, as well as a severe gash in his right leg; hence the reason why he needed the blood.

She took a small amount of Eli's blood and checked it using one of the devices in the Ancient infirmary. She wanted to make sure that he didn't have anything that could harm Rush even more.

When she found nothing wrong with it she checked some of Rush's blood, from an earlier sample she'd taken and confirmed that their blood types were a perfect match.

As she turned away from the device it began to compare the two samples of blood automatically and when she turned back to take them out she saw on the devices screen something that caused her to gasp in surprise.


TBC...
