You're not alone

When Astrid woke up she was in an unfamiliar place. She was lying on a small bed in a room with white walls and medical equipment everywhere and it smelled strange she ran her eyes around the room again. She couldn't see any people. There was a needle stuck in her arm, she grimaced and pulled it out slowly moaning in pain at the same time. She pulled the covers of the bed back, she was in lose white shirt and trousers. She jumped down from the bed and squeaked as pain shot through her body, she padded softly over to what looked like the exit and stared at the door. She had no idea how to open it, she studied the panel next to it and ran her hand over it but nothing happened. After ten minutes of wishing she had her gun the doors opened and she jumped back in shock as she was faced with Ronon,

"Going somewhere?" he smiled, making him absolutely gorgeous,

"Well I was trying but the door wouldn't work,"

"Yeah McKay did something that I don't really understand you should be in bed. I'll get Keller,"

She reluctantly walked over to the bed and eased herself into it, "Ronon where am I?"

"You're in Atlantis,"

"Atlantis? The Atlantis? As in home of the ancestors?"

"The very one. I'm going to get Keller," he turned to walk away,

"Wait," he turned to look at her, "I don't like this place,"

"It's an infirmary. No one likes it." He walked away and she frowned attempting to relax into the bed. A few moments later Keller and Ronon walked back into the room, Keller gave her a big smile,

"I'm glad your awake but you shouldn't have taken the IV out," she moved to put the needle back into Astrids arm but she snatched it away, "Okay, you're not exactly the chatty one are you?"

"Did you get the tracker out?"

"Yes it was successful,"

"Thank you,"

"Well no problem it's my job,"

Sheppard came through the door next,

"Well if it isn't sleeping beauty all awake,"

She frowned at him, "Sleeping beauty?"

"When your feeling up to it Woolsey wants to speak with you,"

"About what?"

"Don't know,"

"Alright, where are my clothes?"

"I said when you feel up to it,"

"I don't like this room,"

"I'll go find your bag,"

"Thank you,"

Sheppard left and came back minutes later with a material bag in hand,

"We'll leave you to get changed."

Outside the medical bay Sheppard pulled Ronon aside,

"Look I think it would be a good idea if you were with her when she spoke with Woolsey,"

"Me why?"

"Because she's a bit of a hothead and you know what Woolsey's like he's bound to piss her off,"

"I don't get where I come into this?"

"She's on tender hooks, she doesn't really know what going on and she dose not trust us but she trusts you,"

"Alright," he swiped his hand over the door sensor and walked back into the medical bay. Astrid was leaning against the bed, she was wearing a leather dress that was completely form fitting and cut off at her hips, she skirt part flared out as separate pieces and she had on the same boots as before,

"You coming?"

"Yeah, can I ask where's my gun?"

"Where you can't get hold of it,"

"Why it's not like I'm going to shoot anyone,"

He raised an eyebrow, "Really?"

"Why is that so hard to believe?"

"Come on Woolsey's waiting,"

"Yeah what's this guy like?"

"He's a dick."

"So, Astrid," he drawled flipping the pages of a file, "You don't have a last name?"

Astrid cocked her head at him, "Not one that I can recall,"

"Well and you were a runner for ten years?"

She shrugged, "Give or take,"

"And you don't know what planet your from?"

"I know the address,"

He raised his eyebrows, "Well that's good," he pushed a pen and paper towards her, "I hope you know you are welcome on Atlantis,"

She picked up the pen and jotted down the gate address, "I just want to go home."

While they were waiting for the Atlantis team to prepare a MALP Ronon showed Astrid around Atlantis, they were flagged by two armed solders of course,

"I don't know why I have to have these people following me," she said pointing of the two armed guards,

"The people her are just overly cautious,"

"I guess that's understandable. This place is impressive," she smiled leaning over the side of the pier,

"Yeah it really is,"

"That ancestors did one hell of a job with it but the people here aren't atlantians,"

"No they are from a planet called Earth,"

"Earth? I've never herd of it,"

"It's in a different galaxy,"

"Oh! And what about you? Where are you from?"

"Sateda. The wraith destroyed it,"

"I'm sorry,"

"You do know that they may have also destroyed your planet as well,"

"I know but even if they did I could find another planet. I don't have to stay here right?"

"Not if you don't want to,"

"Good,"

"Why are you so determined to leave this place?"

"I spent ten years running from the wraith. It's time they started running from me,"

Before Ronon could say anything about Astrids quest for revenge Sheppard voice crackled in his ear,

"Hey we sent the MALP through, you might want to bring Astrid down to check this out,"

"Come on. Let's go see what became of your home."

The picture came up clear on one of the screens, Astrids home world was nothing is not beautiful, all the flowers and foliage had been tended to and farmland was clear,

"Looks like there are still people living there," Teyla stated,

"Yeah that planet is well looked after," McKay commented looking down at his tablet,

"Of course it is. My people are not slackers," Astrids voice came from behind them and she quickly moved to get a closer look at the picture, "Can I go home now?"

"Yeah but I think we should all take a look before we just dump you there Astrid,"

"Alright,"

"Great, lets suit up,"

"Sheppard?"

"Yes Astrid,"

"Can I have my gun back?"

The five of them walked through the gate on Astrids home world. In the end Sheppard had been forced to hand over Astrids gun as she was planning on staying on her home world and it was after all hers after they looked around for a while it became clear there was nobody there,

"I thought this planet was still inhabited,"

"It is Sheppard. There hiding," Astrid raised her voice, "You can come out I promise we are not here to hurt you," there was no response, "My name is Astrid, I'm from here some of you might remember me,"

"Astrid?" she herd the female voice whisper,

"Yes please come out,"

A woman dressed not un-similar to Astrid appeared from behind one of the large trees,

"I'm Celeste welcome to Vallhalen."
