What has gone on before...

Within minutes of a mission to Belkan, Teyla was taken prisoner by the Wraith in attempt to turn her fully into a Wraith on a Hive Ship, the plan however ended badly and Teyla Ascened, After one night of being 'dead' Teyla was granted a request to return to John, her husband.

Within days of returning the team had gone to the Ori galaxy, wherein Teyla was put to the test, and had fought a Wraith Hive Queen, Teyla then also killed a Ascended Ori as well, on the way home from the fight in the Ori Galaxy Teyla was gassed, but managed to prevent herself from dying in the thick fog while on the Daedalus.

Within minutes of getting home Teyla was told she was with child, not ten minutes later she gave birth. The child, a female, was taken up to the Ascended Plane to be cared for and rasied in safety by Morgan Le Fey and Red Skelton, a recently Ascended man that lived on Earth.

Teyla then flew Atlantis to Earth, where she was taken captive after having a very strange dream, within mere seconds of being reunited with John Teyla had yet a last mission to do for Earth, one that Red Spoke about, the End of the Ori. Teyla managed to kill the Orici Adra in a fight onboard a Ori Mothership that was tied with Adras lifeforce, which soon destoryed itself after its link to Adra was broken.

Now Teyla and John are back in Pegasus, and Atlantis is back on the sea of Lantia, It has now been ten months since those events, and Teyla first time on Earth. And a new mission is starting...

Continued from Book One: Ascension

And now... Book Two

"What planet are we going to?" Teyla asked as Rodney joined them, somehow John being wanting to go on a mission to a planet that nonoe, not even her, knew about.

"In the database it is called Servie, why that name I don't know, other then the place is under ground makes me think Genii" Rodney said.

"Poissble, thankfully Dr. Weir was able to get the people over there to allow us throu to see the place, after hearing that there was human over there, one that looks like Teyla and me." John smirked, "Yeah I know Rodney, how can some one look like the two of us? well, think a minute, this planet might be where Kiro is staying at."

"Kiro?" came Rodneys perplexed sounding voice through the food he was eating, "Why'd you name your kid that? Or did you not have any say in the naming part of things?"

"Most likely the latter, Rodney, now, lets get to the Briefing shall we?" John said as the three arrived in the briefing room, Weir was there along with Carson. "You wanted to see us?" John asked as he took his normal seat, and Teyla right next to him.

"Yes, Ronon as you know went to his homeworld, apparently something is going on and he was needed, meaning that you three with be one less team member on this mission, which will hopefully being us someone that you both had seen before?" Weir said, the last part as a statement then a question.

"Yeah, I asked Red last time we saw him if we'd be able to see Kiro anytime soon, that was ten months ago, so Red said that we could see her but only in our dreams" John said.

"Red spoke of being able to let Kiro see us in person after a time of ten months had passed, I think this may be the time, as I have seen her less and less the past few nights" Teyla spoke up.

"So you think this planet could be where your daughter is staying? Might be why we found out about the place now." Rodney said from under his breakfast.

"It's possible" John spoke up thoughtfully, "though the fact that the MALP was all but sent back to us in one piece might mean something does not want us going to the place."

"It is also possible that the MALP was sent back with a few beatings to it to show that we are to leave the planet alone?" Weir said thoughtfully, knowing that as she spoke those words was a bad idea.

Teyla shook her head, "No, we must go to this planet, if our child is there then they will let at least John and myself go to her. And hopefully bring her back here with us as well."

"Fine, You two may go to the planet and see if you can find your daughter, when you do contact me" Weir said, "You leave in ten minutes" Weir then got up and left the briefing room along with Rodney, leaving Teyla and John in the room as the last to leave.

"Well, I guess you and I go to see who the nighbors are." John said getting up.

"Let us hope that Kiro will want to come back here with us, i fear that she may not know us, or remember us from the dreams we had of her." Teyla said getting up and heading out in front of John, Rodney started up the gate for the pair, and they left to go to the planet.

Before heading to the planet John said, "Here's hoping we come home alive" then he and Teyla went throu the 'gate.

---------------------------------------

Upon stepping out of the 'gate the first thing John noticed was that it was dark, and damp, and very warm. "Well, looks like all I can see is just nothing but dar---whoah!!" THUNK thud, John took a wrong step in the dark and fell of the platrom the Stargate was on. "I missed a step I think, Teyla don't make a move or you'll fall on...OW" John was cutoff as Teyla took the same step as John and landed smackdab ontop of him.

"Well, looks like we are... here" Teyla said her P90 between her and John, pressing into Johns back, she got up slowly and turned on her small light, the Stargate was on a platform just over her head, and from the looks of things there was a stairway going up to it, made of black dirt.

John got to his feet with a groan, "Sometimes, in places like these, P90s are both good and a pain, good because we can defend ourselves and bad because they are a pain in the ass when one gets to fal ontop of one from a good hight." he complained, all of a sudden reminding Teyla of Rodney.

"We seem to be alone here, though I can see footprints, leading that way." Teyla said pointing her light down a tunnel.

"Great, maybe Kiro is that way." John said leading the way now the well used tunnel, "Somehow this place reminds me of the Genii Homeworld." John said, "I guess just the place being underground is what does it."

"I thought of that too, but we have yet to, wha?!" Teyla and John found themselves in a pit, This time John was ontop of Teyla, "I think I know what you mean by the weapons being a pain in the mitka"

John got to his feet, "Well, seems like this was a planned drop, there's a stairway over there" He pointed to a set of stairs in the wall. "looks like we go... thataway" he pointed down a tunnel going to the right, then the pair headed that way.

Unknown to them a pair of rather odd looking men watched John and Teyla head for the main plaza of the under ground city, moving fast through side tunnels around the pair one of the 'men' stepped into the light of Johns gun, he looked like a Wraith but then he wasn't. he had jet black skin, and stark white hair and carried what looked like a small crossbow in one hand. "Halt. State your names and business in the Underdark."

"uh... I uh..." John was at a loss for words at seeing the dark skinned being, Thankfully Teyla came the rescue.

"We are the parents of the one called Kiro, we heard that she was here."

The white haired man looked first to Teyla then to John, "Follow me." he then turned and started down the tunnel, "you need not fear. Nor need the light you have brought, for we are near the Plaza where your child was brought to us."

"Kiro was brought here? how long has this been since she was... brought to you?" Teyla asked as she and John were led down a now well lit tunnel by the white haired man.

"It is better to say found, she was moreso caught by a guard of the High Court while she was trying to get some food, and since we had a law against stealing of food and drink without pay, the Elders aggreed to let her stay here when the Ancestors arrived and ordered us to safeguard her until her mother and father arrived."

"You know of the Ancients?" John asked as he looked around the tunnel, he saw more of the people, each had the same white hair as the man leading him and Teyla to whereever Kiro was. He saw infants, as well as children, along with adults and teens, some had full regal looking armor on, others had next to nothing, yet all of them had the same dark skin, and white hair.

"Safeguard her? Why?" Teyla asked focused more on the man leading them then looking around. "There are others trying to find her?" The mere thought of the Wraith or the Ori (which had fled after the death of Adra) were searching for Kiro scared Teyla to the bone.

"No, more like, keep her here until her parents arrived, which meant safeguarding here against the monsters of the tunnels and caverns" the man replied, the three entered the Plaza, and drew many eyes their way as John and Teyla were most likely the first humans on the planet.

The white haired man paid the onlookers no heed as he approached a building, regal looking by the color and the way the towers wrose up into the cavern roof far above. The man knocked twice and the door opened, he ushered Teyla and John into the building.

A voice called from behind a curtained doorway, "who calls?" it was clearly young and a female that spoke the question.

"Outsiders, they claim to be the mother and father of Kiro." the man replied.

"Kiro?" came the confused answer, a dark skinned woman stepped out into the room from the curtained door, she had the same armor as the man that led the two Atlanteans to the place. "And these are them?" The woman was decked out in twice as much armor as the man but it was clear to see that the pair were husband and wife.

"Yes, these two claim to be her parents." the man said, "shall I bring her here?"

"Yes, be quick however." the woman replied giving John and Teyla a look that said clearly 'sit down and don't touch anything'. The pair sat at the table as the man left to get Kiro. The woman waited until John and Teyla had sat before asking them, "would you like a drink while you wait for your daughter to arive?"

"I don't see why not" John said a smile on his face, "if I may ask, why was Kiro brought here of all places?"

"Kiro was brought here because we looked most like her, though she is more like you in skin color and adittude" the woman replied, "the Ancestor Morgan ordered my husband and I to watch over Kiro until you arrived, that was ten and seven years ago on our world."

"Whoah, wait a second, did you just say that seventeen years ago Kiro came to you guys?" John asked confused, "if that is true, how long have, Teyla and I been here already?"

"You came through the Ring, therefore you have only been here one full day now, from the Ring to the City is a half day walk." The woman replied.

"Would it be possible to let those back home where we came from know that we are gonna be a while or ... what?" John asked

"Time will not pass as fast on your homeowlrd, how long is a single day?"

"38 hours long, give or take a few minutes." John responded.

"And you left your world?"

"Just after the morning meal" Teyla interjected.

"Then at this time would be nearing lunch on your homeworld whereas we are nearing full dark on the surface."

"Well that is one thing that has been confusing me a bit, you see, when you say surface, what do you mean, this place is underground. Why is that?" John asked.

"The surface is, to the Wraith, nothing more then a dead tree co vered world, therefore they use it as their based, some say the surface was the birthplace of the foul Race" came the response as the whitre haired woman set two cups on the table filled with a clear gray luqid

"This is not gonna kill us is it?" John asked looking at the stuff in the cup, then looking up and seeing the look from Teyla, "just checking."

Teyla tasted it, "This tastes like something that my father knew how to make, are you sure your people were living here and not on Athos? How are you able to make something my father only knew to make?" It confused her, the onlydrink that she knew of and liked that was made by her father was also being made on another world.

"You will have to ask your daughter, for it was her that told me how to make it." came the reply.

Teyla just nodded and took the explination as it were.

The door then opened a few minutes later and the man returned followed by a second woman, who also had white hair, Teyla and John stared at the girl, she was fully grown, and had darkly tanned skin and stark white hair and Johns eyes, along with Teylas face.

The woman made no move from the doorway as she stared, slack jawed at her parents, she stood rooted to the spot.

Teyla made the first move, getting up from the table as she spoke "Kiro?"

"Mom." Kiro looked at Teyla, then dashed forwards and took Teyla into a hug, almost knocking her mother to the ground. "I missed you"

"Well this is a-- Whoah!" John started to say when Kiro let go of Teyla and took him into a hug, John though not thinking of anything better to do took Kiro into a hug as well, He then pulled away and held Kiro at arms length, "Well, Red said we'd see you in ten months, only you could say we were thinking of someone more of a small child." He smiled.

"Well, I'm your child, there is no denying that father." Kiro responded, her voice was like Teylas but sounded more like a harp. "Red told me to come here after the last time we saw each other a few nights ago, he and Morgan are nice only there was too many rules to follow, at least I was able to be with you while you slept."

John laughed "Red said you were a rebel." he took in what Kiro was wearing right then, the spidery like armor that everyone else in the place was wearing, only hers was more like Teylas sparring outfit. Which most likely ment that she was a combat weary soldier by the time John and Teyla got to the place.

Kiro laughed, "I guess that is why they wanted me back with you again."

"Most possibly so Kiro" Teyla said standing up from the table and taking her child into a hug, "when I saw you less and less I was starting to worry that the Ancestors had gone back on their word for us to see you."

"Well Red told me to come to this planet for you to find me, so I guess we'll be together more often now." Kiro said after pulling out of Teylas hug, she was almost the same hight as Teyla, though a little shorter, and seemed wiser and more battleharded then Teyla herself.

"I believe so" Teyla said.

"Well, when did you arrive? Did Arvinia or Mathias offer food and drink, along with beding? Or did you come from Atlantis?" Kiro asked, speaking to Teyla in the Athosian tunge. When she heard the answer Kiro turned to the owners of the house, "When did they arrive?" she asked in the lahnguage of the Underdark

"Not more then ten minutes before I went to get you to see them" Mathias answered.

"They came throu the Ring?"

"Yes"

Kiro turned back to her parents, "forgive me, it appears that food will take a few moments longer to get ready."

"It OK, nothing to worry over" John said before getting a hand over his mouth by Teyla.

"It is fine, I think that during the preperation for the meal we can, find out about your upbringing." Teyla said holding her hand over Johns mouth as she spoke.

"That is good then, while Arvinia makes the evening meal I can show you around the city, after all the Plaza is just a small part of the place." Kiro said looking towards the two white haired people near the cooking area. The woman nodded and the man then left.
