Authors Note: Hello everyone! I know I took a long time with this next chapter but my computer has been acting up. Anyway I loved all your reviews, thanks for all the encouragement and advice! Hope you like the next chapter!
Chapter two: (Realizations)
Weir frowned at the paperwork in her hands. She knew plumbing was important, but did Doctor Kavanagh have to complain every time his toilet clogged?
She was interrupted from her thoughts, however, by the stargate going off.
She saw the shields going up as she raced towards the scientist at the controls.
"Isn't it a little early for Sheppard's team to be coming back?" He asked when the identification code appeared on his computer.
Weir nodded deeply confused, " Yes it is a little early. Lower the shields!" She commanded while turning on the radio next to her.
Static filled the speakers around the room as she heard a faint voice saying, "Hello? This is Rodney do you read me?"
She replied quickly, " Rodney? This is Weir, we read you loud and clear, what's your status?"
"Well I think we ended up in some kind of lab. There was Ancient writing on the floor and I have managed to find out that some of it has to do with the Wraith and an experiment. Oh, and Sheppard found this Ancient rock that had all these symbols on it. I would have been able to read what it said if John hadn't of taken it back-"
"Rodney your rambling. Let me speak to John." Weir stated eyebrows knitting together at all the new information.
" Well he can't talk to you right now because we found him unconscious after all the lights went out." McKay stated sounding very helpless.
"Then you all are to return right now! We will have the medical team waiting for you to arrive." Elizabeth declared eyes growing wide with concern.
oOo
Weir swallowed hard on the bile rising in her throat as three figures carrying John appeared in front of the Stargate.
The medical team that was surrounding her ran off to help lower Sheppard onto a stretcher.
" Report to my office when you are done getting checked out by Doctor Beckett." She stated after approaching Teyla, Ronon and a very distressed Rodney.
They all replied with a nod and fallowed the stretcher into the infirmary.
Elizabeth could almost feel her heart rip when she recalled that she had thought something was not right.
'Why didn't you voice your concern?' She asked herself over and over again while making her way back to her office.
oOo
" Ok tell me what happened." Elizabeth said grimly after the three team mates were in her office.
" When we arrived at the... lab... Rodney and I tried to translate the Ancient writing on the floor, but it was harder then usual because it was all crossed out." Teyla spoke out after a little hesitation.
" Rodney do you have any idea why the writing was crossed out?" Elizabeth asked glancing over at Rodney.
" Um... maybe the Wraith found the lab, but why they would cross it out bets me." He replied eyes narrowing.
" We should go back." Ronon informed everyone.
Teyla nodded her head with emotionless features.
" Not yet. At least not until we find out what happened to John." Elizabeth declared raising an eyebrow.
" Rodney why would the Wraith just cross out the writing if they did not like what it said, wouldn't they just blow up the whole place?" Weir question turning her gaze on a very confused McKay.
" Well I was just guessing, you don't have to be so snappy." He retorted appearing hurt that he had been wrong.
" Very well. So none of you were injured?" Elizabeth asked the team.
" No just Sheppard." Ronon stated staring at the table.
oOo
John felt very light and energetic as he awoke. He was very comfortable in the infirmary sheets, but was disturbed when he did not remember being injured. In fact he felt perfectly fine.
" Sheppard? How are ya feelin'?" Carson asked appearing by John's side.
" Good... a little hungry but good." He replied with a slight smirk.
Carson exhaled deeply relived.
" Well at least I know yar' normal again."Beckett stated ginning a little.
" So wha' happened?" Carson asked turning all his attention towards Sheppard.
" Um... well I... um... don't really remember." John answered a little embarrassed.
Beckett's eyes grew wide at this little information. And John felt his cheeks grow warm. He could feel his skin crawl a little under the intense staring.
" What do ya mean ya don't remember!"
He questioned amazed. John squirmed a little under his gaze and was about to answer when Carson yelled, " John! Were did ya go!"
Sheppard eyes grew wide, " What are you talking about I'm right here. Are you going insane?" He asked in a slightly mocking tone, thinking that it might be a joke.
Carson's eyebrows shot straight up into his hair line and he shouted, " Son I can't see ya."
Sheppard realized that Carson was serious when he saw panic in his eyes.
" Wait a minute your serious?" He asked while raising an arm and glancing at it.
He started to panic when he saw nothing there.
" Holly Shit! I'm invisible!" He almost shouted in pure panic.
" Stay righ' there. I'm gonna get Weir." Beckett stated getting up quickly and racing out the doorway.
oOo
'Stupid Kavanagh! He sent me another complaint about his plumbing.' Elizabeth thought to herself.
Earlier she had told herself that if she berried herself in work she would forget about John's pale features, but every now and then she would find herself thinking about what had happened this morning.
Suddenly she saw Doctor Beckett push through a group of chatting scientists and race up the hallway to only stop once he was right in front of her.
He was panting hardly and was kneeling over sweating a lot.
" Carson what's wrong?" She asked raising an eyebrow.
" John... e'... is somehow...see through." He replied in between gasps.
" What?" Weir asked eyes growing wide.
" Come on... fallow me." Beckett replied grabbing her arm and pulled her so hard that she thought she might have fallen over if she had not started to run along side him.
oOo
Sheppard was raising his hands up to his face, but he couldn't see them! He felt really hyper for some strange reason, like he could run a marathon.
He was surprised that when he brought his hands together that he could feel the other hand. It just looked like there was nothing there! He glance up however when he heard rapid footsteps racing up the hallway.
He felt really stupid for making Carson so panicked and even more so that now Elizabeth would be seeing him, or really not seeing him.
He felt his skin crawl a little bit more.
Suddenly Carson arrived in the doorway pulling the sleeve of a very frightened Weir.
" Sheppard?" She asked into the "empty" room.
" Hi." He replied a little embarrassed.
"That's not normal." She stated.
" Aye love. That's really not normal." Carson agreed staring at the bed Sheppard should have been in.
oOo
" What do you mean he's invisible?" Rodney asked.
" I'm not that sure. But I think it might have something to do with the strange metal in his blood stream." Carson replied looking down at a file in his hands.
" Then I want a sample. Maybe I could find out what it is." Rodney demanded.
Carson nodded and left to collect some blood.
" Hey Doc?" John asked hesitantly.
" Yeah Sheppard." Beckett replied drawing blood from nothingness.
" How long do you think I will be see through?" John finished awkwardly.
Carson looked up from his work and replied, " I'm actually not to sure yea'. We'll find out soon though... hopeful'e." He added seeming a little distant to Sheppard.

-Jordan-Daniel- yes you are correct it is John's gene that is getting him into trouble. And the only reason that it worked for Sheppard and not Rodney is because he is a natural. (just in case any of you have a question about that)
