This is a really interesting story idea I had, I have never written some of these characters, so it will be interesting to see where things go. But I promise a twisted twist in the end.
Stargate Atlantis: Frame of Mind
CH 1 - Unlikely Alliance
Lt. Ford looked down at Colonel Sheppard, and the huge bug that had attached itself to the colonel.
The tendrils wiggled as they held onto Sheppard.
Sheppard abruptly woke from the dream, and he went to the mirror.
Turning on the light Sheppard was able o glance into the mirror and look at where the stinger had penetrated his neck nearly three years earlier. He could still feel where the stinger went in, and the tendrils on the Iratus Bug, still wrapped around his neck.
Sheppard splashed a bit of cold water onto his face, and rubbed the water around until it looked like large beads of sweat.
Reaching for a towel he heard the door chime.
"Come in." Sheppard called.
The door didn't open.
a full minute later the door chime sounded again.
"Come in." Sheppard called again.
Again, the door didn't open.
"Someone has a twisted idea of a joke." Sheppard commented gritting his teeth.
The door chimed a third time, after another minute.
"Come in!" Sheppard shouted.
Major Lorne came in "Sir?"
"Major Lorne?" Sheppard asked.
"Is everything alright, sir?" Major Lorne asked.
"Didn't you hear me the first time Major?" Sheppard demanded.
"I only used the door chime one time, sir." Lorne defended.
"Once." Sheppard confirmed, then was lost in thought for a second. "Did you see anyone in the halls before you got here?" Sheppard asked, thinking someone had a sick idea of a practical joke.
"No one, sir." Lorne replied, then reversed to his original question. "Is everything alright, sir?" Major Lorne asked.
"I don't sleep well any more, I keep having a dream about the Iratus bug." Sheppard replied rubbing his face.
"Maybe you should go to the infirmary." Major Lorne suggested.
"Couldn't hurt." Sheppard agreed, then wondered why Major Lorne was there. "Why are you here?"
"You weren't responding on the radio. Dr. Weir needs you in Stargate Ops." Major Lorne replied.
"I'll go to the infirmary after I see what Elizabeth wants." Sheppard decided.
Major Lorne walked with Sheppard back to the control tower.
Seeing the expeditions leader Sheppard greeted her.
"You wanted to see me, Elizabeth?"
"Yes, John. We receive a message from the M9X-442. It appears there is a Wraith hive ship on the way."
"And you want me to . . ." Sheppard stopped, he had seen something he did not expect . . . a Wraith sitting in Weir's office. No restraints, no guards. He was a threat, Sheppard was the only one that cared.
I hope this turned out ok, I know that the first chapter is short, and I hope that it has the impact for you that I think it has. Any way, read, review, enjoy.
