Author's notes: I know the chapters are short but they will get longer and more exiting.
"Well I think I'm going to go now." said Kiara.
"Oh no you don't. Hold on just a second." said John running and trapping her from getting up by leaning forward and putting his hands on either side of the arms of the chair. Dam it, Kiara thought.
"How dare you? What do you think you're doing coming here?" John said in a hushed voice.
"My job. I'm sure you read my file and you know exactly what I am doing here, and if you don't mind I would like to start my job." Kiara retorted.
The last thing Kiara wanted to do was to deal with John. Despite what he may think, he was no the reason she came here; maybe a little.
Kiara had been approached by General O'Neill for the position to go to Atlantis after the Replicators had attacked Atlantis. She was an Astrophysicist and a linguist. Something she had hidden from John while they still had a relationship. She had worked at the SGC since the beginning, she had sometimes helped Daniel translated and even helped him find the gate. Of course John didn't know any of this. He thought she was an accountant and worked abroad often, that's why he was used to her not being at home when she was off world. Not that John would have been there either.
If looks could kill Kiara would have been dead twice over. John was staring at her with pure anger in his hazel eyes. John moved away from her and banged his hand against the wall, making Kiara jump. She was the last person she wanted to see.
"Get out" John said. Kiara gladly left feeling like a complete idiot, for thinking John would have forgiven her.
The next couple of days Kiara stayed away from John. She was shown around by some soldier, whose name she couldn't remember. She thought the city was beautiful, although she hated the fact that Atlantis was surrounded by ocean. Yeah she love swimming, but she couldn't get over the possibility that Atlantis may just sink. Even though the Ancients were like the most intelligent race, she still liked to be careful.
After about a week she decided to go work out in the training room. She was getting fed up with translating the ancient database with Rodney constantly telling her that her translations were wrong because they didn't go with his guessing. She almost beat the crap out of Rodney, well of course John picked that moment to come in and break up the fight. Neither she nor John had told anyone about their relationship.
Well now she was in the training room with Lt. Laura Cadman, someone who she had become friends with easily. Kiara was defeating Laura easily seeing as though for the past 10 years she'd been training with Teal'c. Teyla and John picked that moment to walk in for their training session.
"I'm sorry, we did not mean interrupt your training session." said Teyla.
When Kiara saw John she immediately stiffened.
"Sir" said Cadman immediately coming to attention
"Lieutenant" replied John completely ignoring Kiara.
"We were just about to leave" said Kiara, hurriedly, not wanting to be in the presence of John any longer.
"I thought we were going to..." said Cadman.
"No, maybe another time" said Kiara cutting Cadman off. She quickly ran off, followed by Cadman.
"What was that about?" asked Laura.
"Nothing I'm just tired and I think we should finish another time." With that, she quickly ran off, leaving a puzzled Laura.
