I do not own Stargate Atlantis or any the main cast used in this fic. I only own major Robert Gough (cough with a G for those who reads a name in fan fiction and wonders how it's pronounced like me) Riley Jenkins, Kaden Alenko (Although I did borrow the name from the video game Mass Effect, but it's not him) and Mike who currently has no last name or rank, but will have when he makes an appearance... Uh what else ah this story will be rated M for graphic scenes of violence, language, and sex so if none of that appeals to you please don't read it. I should also mention that this is my first fan fic so please be kind but all feedback/advice and ideas will be graciously accepted and listened to. I will try to respond to all feedback, and if anyone's interested in beta reading, because knowing me I will miss stuff heh, heh drop me a line.
This is mostly a Teyla/OC story but will feature other parings, mostly Shweir, Ronan/Keller and hell maybe McKay and Carter will hook up, who knows. I think it's safe to say this will be set in an Alternate Universe, during Season 4.
Ok I'm done now on with the story enjoy.

Chapter 1
Major Robert Gough stood on the edge of the cliff taking in the view of the Outpost below, the orange glow of the sunset glistening against the remains of the abandoned Ancient research facility. "Wow that's beautiful" Kaden said as he walked up to his best friend and CO. "yes it is" Gough replied "Is Riley done yet?" Gough asked. "Not yet sir, she says it'll be a couple of hours" Kaden replied "Great. How did Sheppard's team get out of this mission?" Gough asked "Well Rob he is the head of the military" Kaden answered. "That has got to be an abuse of power" Rob said, with a grin or his face. Causing Kaden to laugh. "do you know when Mike will be back?" he asked "no I heard from him before he took of for the funeral, but nothing since" Rob replied before sighing "OK go back to the gate and let Atlantis know what's going on. I'll keep an eye on Riley"
"Yes Sir" Kaden replied and headed towards the gate. Rob walked towards Riley. "Hey Riley, how's it looking?" he asked looking down at his teams scientist "I'm getting there sir" She replied "Shouldn't be more than an hour" "An hour? Kaden said two" Rob replied. "Yes sir but I had a bit of luck with the power source. See it turns out….." "Ah that's all I need to know" Rob interrupted not wanting to hear another techno-babbled speech. "I'll let him know." Riley looked at her CO "I sent him to report back to Atlantis" he said, tapping his earpiece "Gough to Alenko…..Alenko respond" Riley and Rob exchanged a look "Kaden answer me" still nothing. "OK that's not good, lets go find him" Rob said.
After walking towards the gate for 20 minutes they saw a shape up ahead lying on the ground as they got closer the could clearly make out the shape. It was Kaden. Riley started running towards him, but Rob grabbed her arm. "What the hell are doing Rob he's in trouble" Riley yelled "I know but it could be a trap." He said whispering "Now keep your voice down" he said as he raised his P90 and started walking slowly towards his friend clearing the area as he went. He saw Riley clearing the other side as well. They reached Kaden and saw the blood he was laying in "Check him" Rob said as he surveyed the area. "He's still alive" She said "But his pulse is weak" she continued "Can you see where he's injured?" Rob asked not taking his eyes off the area. "No Sir, I don't think we should move him." Rob was just about to give her an order when he saw something move out of the corner of his eye but when he turned to face it, it was gone. Then he heard it on the other side and again by the time he'd turned it was gone. "I don't think we have a choice" he said as he reached down to pick Kaden up "OK I've got him, cover us" He said as he hoisted Kaden over his shoulders and started running for the gate.
They made it to the gate in record time and put Kaden down replacing him with his P90 "Dial Atlantis and as soon as the gates' open take Kaden and go I'll cover you" He said "Yes Sir" riley replied as she dialled the gate Rob kept his eye on the path they had come from and heard the familiar kawoosh of the gate as it established an active wormhole to the city of the Ancients, their home. Then he saw movement as a creature that could only be described as a large black dog charged towards them. He opened fire and hit the creature but it just kept coming GO he yelled while continuing to fire at the beast. Riley had Kaden and were already heading towards the gate when she heard the gun fire and was by the gate when she heard him yell Go she turned to see the creature on top of the major, who had his hand over the creatures snout, trying to stop it from biting him. "ROB!" she yelled "Get Kaden home NOW! He replied THAT'S AN ORDER!!" he added while avoiding another bite to his throat.
In the Atlantis gate room the active gate alarm was blaring, security teams were standing by with SGA 1 and Col Carter waiting. "Anything Chuck?" Sam asked "No IDC yet ma'am" he said "wait…receiving Dr Jenkins IDC" he added "Lower the shield" ordered Sam…..they waited nothing happened then they saw Jenkins appear dragging a wounded member of the team through the gate "Med team to the gate room" Sheppard ordered running down the stairs. "Riley what happened?" Sam asked as she approached "and where is Major Gough" Teyla added "we was attacked by a creature, it looked like a huge black dog, its attacking the major now! We have to help him!" she said frantically. Then the gate shut down Sheppard commandeered a P90 from one of the security teams "Chuck dial the gate" he ordered Chuck started dialling as the med team lead by Dr Keller entered. Riley was torn between going back for her CO and staying with her friend she decided to go with Kaden. "Col you can't go and get him" Sam said "WHAT?" Sheppard responded "Rob's in trouble and he needs our help" he continued "I'm sorry John but we don't know, what's going on or how many other creatures….." then Chuck spoke up "Incoming wormhole" he announced as the gate activated there was a pause "Receiving Major Gough's IDC" Chuck announced "Lower the shield" Sheppard ordered. The marines on guard aimed at the active Stargate ready to attack…..then a bloody, and battered major staggered through the gate before dropping to his knees, groaning as he hit the floor. The gate shut down. Keller moved to the injured man as the rest of the med team lead Alenko away on a stretcher "Major can you hear me?" She asked "Kaden?" He groaned as he tried to stand up "I think he'll be fine, right now it's you I'm worried about" She replied "I'm fine" he replied as he stood up, staggered then started falling towards the ground. Luckily Ronan, Sheppard and Teyla were all there to grab him before he hit it. "Like hell you are" Sheppard said "You look like crap" "Yeah?? Well at least I'm still better looking than you" Rob replied smiling a bloody smile "Yeah right" Sheppard replied "Hey Teyla's dating me not you, and she's an excellent judge of character" Rob replied before he winced in pain. He tried to stand again but Teyla put a hand on his shoulder "Robert please do not move you are injured and need help" she said talking softly to him. Rob paused for a minute looking into her eyes, god how he loved this woman "OK" he said just as his eyes rolled back and he passed out.
