Part 3 - blood
Leigh was sat on a bed and Dr. Keller took the bullet out, Leigh didn't really mind the pain. the wound was bound and she got up. Tod huffed around the corner. she chuckled to herself and wrapped her arm in his when she walked past. they walked to Leigh's rooms. she disabled the security camera so they could talk in private.
"i'm so glad to see your okay." Tod exclaimed.
"Yeah. apart from this." she said gesturing to her arm.
"That Colonel Sheppard likes you." Tod muttered.
"i know. But i happen to have someone already." Leigh replied tossing a drink at Tod.
"You do? oh well, i guess i have to abide to the rules." he said, sadly.
"Huh, what rules?" Leigh asked sitting on her bed.
"No fraternizing with superior officers." he replied sitting in a chair.
"You were the one i was referring to." Leigh said taking a swig.
"Really?" Tod looked up surprised. Leigh nodded. the alarm for an incoming wormhole went off. both of them sighed and went to the 'gate room. taking up security positions. John looked suspiciously at the two of them by each other but dismissed it when a jumper flew in. the security detail relaxed, Leigh and Tod dropped their guns to their sides and walked to the jumper bay. Leigh ran forward when a wounded marine stumbled out followed by several frightened scientists.
"What happened?" she exclaimed supporting the marine on her shoulder.
"Wraith...tons of them...lost three others." One managed to say.
"Wraith?" Tod whispered.
"Aliens, our enemies here. you don't wanna know the rest." Leigh replied and they helped the marine to the infirmary. Dr. Keller ran to them (since the infirmary was empty) and helped the marine onto a bed. they left her and the other doctors to treat the man. Leigh and Tod had a very private dinner in the mess hall. John and Rodney came in. Leigh gestured to Tod for them to leave.
"Colonel." Leigh muttered as she brushed past.
"General, i was wondering if you wanted to stay." John said quickly before she could leave.
"What about that rule?" she said using what Tod said to her advantage.
"What rule?" John asked.
"No fraternizing with superior officers." Leigh replied.
"Oh, sure you wont stay?" he yelled after her as she walked away.
"No." she yelled back without turning to face him.
"Finally." Rodney said and got his food.
"What?" John asked.
"A girl who finally turned you down." Rodney replied.
When they got to Leigh's quarters she disabled the camera again. Tod removed both their earpieces and pushed her down to the big bed. he wasted no time in unbuttoning her shirt and kissing her violently, she returned it. she slipped his shirt off and kicked her boots off. she wrapped her legs around his middle and flipped so she was on top. and thus began their night of sexual ecstasy.
When John couldn't contact Leigh over the radio he guessed what was going on. The next morning she was ready to go on another mission.
"General, i was wondering..." John started but was cut off,
"No." Leigh said.
"You didn't even let me finish." John started to pout, the girl was gorgeous and she almost hated him.
"Oh, I have a pretty good idea of what you were going to say." she replied and signaled for the men to move into the event horizon. He caught her elbow as they stepped onto the planet.
"Let go." she said patiently.
"Look, I realize you have a thing going on with you lieutenant. I get that, what I don't get is everything else about you. your 16 and a General, you have a high tolerance for pain. Where did you come from? How did you get this high? Who are you?" he asked. the other military personal walked away leaving them to talk.
"I came from Earth, I stuck with the military. I am Leigh Anderson, General of the Pleasant Grove Military complex. Does that help?" she said.
"Not really." he muttered. They walked to a castle. Atlantis often traded with the people here. the two Princesses offered drinks to Rodney, and John. more cautiously to Leigh who nodded her thanks.
"Our alliance has been very fruitful these past years." the older one said, glancing at John.
"And we want to ask a favor." the other said.
"Yeah, anything." Rodney said.
" As you know our mother died recently, and we have another sister. she has been chosen for the next queen." the first Woman said.
"Okay." Leigh said impatiently.
"Before each queen is coronated she must go on a Pilgrimage. to the ruins of the old city. there if she passes the test, and returns safely, she is crowned. It is traditional that she make this pilgrimage alone." the older Woman explained.
"And you want us to go with her?" John concluded. The oldest nodded.
"We can do that." Rodney said. Leigh dug her elbow into his side.
"We will go get her." they said and returned with a little girl.
"This is our sister, Harmony." one said.
"Uh, i just remembered we have something to do." John said, coming up with excuses.
"Oh, please John." the older one said.
"Well i guess we could." He said, the Princess had begun to bat her eyelashes. Leigh rolled her eyes and smacked John's arm, signaling to go. the little girl brushed past Leigh, nose in the air.
"I hate kids." she muttered.
