Sadly I don't own Stargate Atlantis at all. R&R plz
Chapter 1 - suprise
Light filtered through the multi-colored windows of the Ancient city. Dr. McKay opened his laptop. He got a window saying he had a message. Stunned by the irregular greeting he clicked the link on the window. While it loaded he thought of the ZPM they needed to power the shield of Atlantis. The message opened and he blinked.
'Dr.McKay .' It said ' If you would please get Dr. Beckett and come find me. I'm in this section of the city.' A picture of Atlantis was below. A part on the east side was high lighted in red. He continued to read the message.
'If you bring or tell anyone beside Dr. Beckett I will destroy something you need. Come as soon as you read this message. Have a nice day.
Andrea DuBois
Dr. McKay was stunned. He realized what it said and closed the laptop. He stood up and ran to the medical wing with the computer tucked under his arm. He was out of breath when he finally found Carson Beckett.
"Rodney, what's wrong?" He asked in a heavy Scottish accent. Rodney couldn't speak so he gestured for the doctor to follow him. And their way to the section Rodney explained when he caught his breath.
"Has anyone explored this part of the city yet?" Carson asked. Rodney shook his head. They heard a ringing, like metal being hit by metal. The two men glanced at each other. The hallway got hotter and hotter as they followed the sound. On the walls were swords and other Mid-evil weapons. They turned a corner and saw Andrea. She was hammering a long piece of metal. She stopped and put the metal into a barrel of water to cool it off then set it back down on the anvil. She set the hammer next to it and turned.
" Dr. McKay, Dr. Beckett." She said and took off the heavy gloves she wore, and wiped her forehead for sweat. She was very skinny but looked strong. Rodney couldn't help but notice tattoos on her arms. Only they weren't like any he'd ever seen before. They were silver and looked like vines. She gestured for them to sit in the next room. They followed her lead and sat.
"I take it you got my message?" Andrea asked in a slightly rough voice, to Rodney. He nodded. As Carson wasn't being spoken to he glanced around the room. Arrows and sword lay everywhere. The radio Rodney carried buzzed with static.
"Dr. McKay this is Dr. Weir please respond." Came a woman's voice. Rodney hit the talk button without breaking eye contact with Andrea, who waited patiently.
"Dr. Weir this is Rodney. I have Carson with me." Was his reply. The radio buzzed again.
"Where the hell are you guys?!" She asked.
"On the east side of the city we found someone." Rodney answered.
"You found someone?" she asked.
"Yes we'll be back in an hour or so." he said and set his hand back down.
"Okay, but be careful." She said and the radio was quiet.
" Andrea in the message you said you had something we needed." Rodney asked her.
"yes but that later. now I need you to help me with something. " She said.
"I just want to ask, how long have you been here?" Dr. McKay interrupted.
"Round about 3 million years I think." Andrea said dismissively.
"3 million?" Carson exclaimed being brought back into the discussion.
"Yes, although that is not why I asked you come here." She said, slightly irritated. "I can do things I cannot explain. do you think you can help me? If you can I will give you something of great value." She said.
"Sure we'll try our best. What can you do?" Rodney asked. Andrea stood up and walked over to a pillar. The two men followed her. She nodded and stepped backward into the pillar. She came out safely on the other side. The doctors were completely taken off-guard.
"Is that all you can do?" Carson stuttered for loss of better words.
"I pluralized 'things'. That means yes, I can do other stuff." She said and closed her eyes and folded her arms around her stomach. The air around her back sparkled. Golden bird wings sprouted from her back. She opened her eyes and the wings twitched slowly.
"Wow." Rodney muttered.
"You know. I think just having shown someone helps. Thank you." Andrea said and closed her eyes again, the wings disappeared. She walked over to a door. It opened at her touch. She grabbed one of the many brown boxes in the closet. She turned and set the box down on a table. The two men were very confused. She drew out a long knife and cut the tape away from the top of the box. Rodney couldn't believe his eyes when the contents were revealed. A ZPM lay there. Andrea closed the lid and picked the box up.
"Shall we go light up the whole city again?" She asked and started walking down the corridor leading back to the main room. Carson and Rodney had to run to catch up to her.
