Chapter One

"Man Down!" These were the two words that still echoed in Dr Elizabeth Weir's mind.

Elizabeth stood at her usual post, the balcony overlooking the gate. She hadn't moved for the past two and a half hours, for that was how long ago she had sent SGA-1 through the gate even though she had a feeling that something was not right.

"Dr Weir, it's not healthy for you to just to stand there." Dr Carson Beckett said as he walked up beside her.

"Carson, I'm fine." She said in a voice that didn't even convince her.

"Just come and have some lunch." He said, gently placing his hand on her arm to guide her away, when suddenly the gate lit up.

Turning sharply away from Carson, Elizabeth ran down to the controls. The technician didn't even have time to say who it was before Elizabeth powered down the shield. Something was wrong and she knew it. In an instant, she was running down the stairs towards the gate when she looked over her shoulder at Carson, who was still standing where she'd left him.

"Carson, fetch your medical team and your equipment and get back here immediately!"

Carson nodded and ran out of the room.

Elizabeth moved forward again when Teyla came running through the gate.

"Dr Weir, Dr McKay said to tell you that we have a 'Man Down'."

All Elizabeth could do was nod, her eyes never leaving the open wormhole. Minutes past and more people came through the gate, but none of them was the one person she was waiting for, they were more refugees. Suddenly weapons fire came through the gate. Elizabeth grabbed Teyla and fell to the floor, looking up in time to see Dr Rodney McKay and Ronon Dex come through carrying an unconscious person.

Her heart stopped as she rose from the floor to see if her fears were confirmed.

"Carson!" Ronon yelled, causing Elizabeth to jump. Casting a quick glance over her shoulder, she saw Carson running down with his medical team in toe.

Swallowing hard, she dared to look at the body of the man in front of her, when suddenly she was grabbed from behind and thrown to the floor as more weapons fire came through the gate.

"Power up the shield!" A familiar voice yelled from just above her.

Elizabeth felt tears welling up in her eyes as she realized who it belonged to. Pushing him off her, she stood and looked around the room. There were about twenty five refugees and only one injured man who, as it turned out, was hit by a wraith stunner.

"Looking for someone Liz?" The voice whispered in her ear. Slowly turning around, she saw Major John Sheppard standing behind her, smiling as if nothing had happened.

'How does he do that?' She thought to herself, angry for letting herself get all worked up.

Rolling her eyes, she turned away, quickly climbing the stairs and running out of sight.

Teyla watched on in silence, before walking over and placing her hand on John's shoulder.

"Was it something I said?" He asked never averting his gaze from where Elizabeth had disappeared to.

"She is a brave woman." Teyla said softly. "But even the bravest of warriors can worry about those they love."

John remained silent as Teyla walked away, her words echoing in his head. Closing his eyes, the realization of what she'd said dawned on him.

Dropping his vest, guns and pack where he stood, he ran up the stairs heading in the direction the Elizabeth had gone.
