OMG I'M ALIVE
WITH A NEW CHAPTER THAT'S DRIPPING IN SHELYA!!
ENJOY!!
Washington D.C., residence of Dr. Temperance Brennan
The scream of the alarm clock forced Temperance awake. For a full minute she pondered at why she was getting up on this weekend morning. There were no cases, no skeletons to authenticate. Then she remembered. She was going to her mothers' grave. 30 silent minutes passed as she dressed and prepared. She left a note for Booth in case he should drop by and left.

"Come on, Rogue could totally OWN Batman any day!" Isabelle said
"Batman has physical strength and compete covering over his body, not to mention is stronger. Rogue wouldn't stand a chance." Rodney shot back
"Yeah, he's big bulky and OLD!" Isabelle said
"So is Rogue"
"Check your facts McKay. Batman was created in 1939 and Rogue was created in 1981. That's a 42 years difference," Isabelle said
"The older they are, the wiser they are" Rodney said
"Ronon help me here. Marvel or DC comics?" Isabelle said
"Which one has Wolverine?"
"HA! Marvel! In your FACE McKay! Here's my butt, kiss it!" Isabelle said victoriously.
Poor Teyla looked at Ronon with a look of "WTF?' on her face.
"Nerd-fight. Earth rival comic book companies" Ronon whispered in her ear
"O…..k. So Dr. Addy I am interested in learning more about your brother:" Teyla said
"aaaaaahhhhhhhh yes. Zack. My very abnormal brother who has no social skills due to his autism and an IQ of at least 160? What do you want to know?" Isabelle said
"Whoa whoa wait, your brother is autistic? How come you're normal? How come he's a scientist?" Rodney said
"He has Aspergers syndrome, a very high function form of autism. People who have it live fairly normal lives, only with very few social skills. No biggie. It could also be what Agent Booth calls me "the normal one" and almost ignores Zack. "Isabelle said
"So he has bad social skills?"
"Yes, but I have seen a slight improvement in him. Booth no longer wants to shoot him. Before you say anything, yes, that's an improvement. However, Booth still wants to shoot Hodgins, but that is totally beside the point." Isabelle said
"What's this about shooting people?" an approaching voice said
"Colonel, glad you decided to join us. I was telling your people about my person. And before you say anything about the SGC agreeing with us, I already know." Isabelle said
"How'd you know. The SGC only made the decision about 2 hours ago" Sheppard said
"E-mail, it's a beautiful thing" Isabelle said
"We leave Monday." Sheppard said
"Oh, how what a coincidence, I was leaving Monday for D.C. as well. This must be some elebrate setup for you and Carter to accompany me." Isabelle said
Sheppard just grinned evilly and Isabelle in turn shot him her death glare. Teyla decided that this would be a very good time to break the silence, because from the lookieses of things, somebody(coughsheppardcough) was about to get hit.
"Dr. Addy, I am courious as to what Dr. Brennan is like" she said
Isabelle looked at her "Why Teyla my sweet, she's like you. Only more trigger happy, taller, blunt and has no spirtuality what so ever."
Later
John opened the doors to the gym, only to find that that it was empty of life. He checked all of Teylas usual haunts, all empty of her life form. He finally spotted her on the balcony over looking the west pier. Silent as he could, he went to her.
Teyla was outside on the balcony. The undistributed silence was comforting for her frayed nerves. Never in her wildest dreams did she think that the Ancestral City would be the sight of an inhuman deed. She inhaled sharply as arms found their way around her waist and a gentle breath fell on her neck. She pulled closer to the warmth behind her.
"You alright?" Johns gentle voice came from behind
She nodded, not ready to speak just yet.
"This week has been...hard" she said softly
"I know" John said pulling her closer to him "I know"
Teyla turned around and buried herself in Johns arms. The sun went down, but they stood there. For the first time in a week, Teyla felt safe.
Temperance came home-only to find Special Agent Seeley Booth with his feet on her table.
"What are you doing here!?" she demanded
"Checking on you" was the sly response
"I left a note. I'm fine, now OUT!" Temperance said, taking off a shoe
"Are you going to beat me with that?" Seeley said, eyeing the boot with it's 3 inch stiletto
"I will if you dont GET OUT"
Booth weighed his options. He could A) get out as quickly as possible before Temperance followed up on her threat or B) stay here and get beat. Guess which one he chose.
"See you Monday Bones"
"Don't call me Bones!"
Isabelle pounded the punching bag. She had been here in the empty gym for about 2 hours. Sweat rolled down her back and fatigue increased as the time passed. It had only just occurred to her that people might have suspicions as to why she went back to Earth every couple of weeks. She wouldn't tell...not yet. Allow the trial to finish. Allow the families of the other victims to relish in victory and grieve for having to be put through the trauma again. She was the only survivor.
Isabelle looked at the scar that ran across her left knuckles. Her oath. Her promise. She would NEVER be a victim again.
NEVER.
John eased into the small bed, careful not to wake the sleeping Teyla. He adjusted her so that she was across his body and not falling off the bed. He place a soft kiss on her forehead before drifting off to sleep.
