Stargate Atlantis: Wraith Worship

by Hondarr

Sheppard finds himself back on Earth, being reassigned, when he is contacted by a unknown man and asked to go the local bar, where he is knocked unconscious by the man who called him. When he wakes up, he finds himself being held by a man with the markings of a Wraith.. is this really Earth or some elaborate Wraith trick meant to get information from him?

A few hours later

"Rodney.. you almost finshed? Its getting boring around here.." Sheppard asked, grinning at Rodney, purely because he seemed annoyed at Sheppard for the requested update every five minutes.

"Actually, yes.. well.. I think so." Rodney responded with confidence at first, then seemed to doubt himself,

"Rodney.." Sheppard said in a low tone, intending to get a straight answer out of him.

"Yes.. Yes, im ready. Three.. Two.. One.." Rodney said, ending with a countdown, and sure enough, just as he finished saying 'one', the shield deactivated and the door swung up,

As the door opened, the Wraith spun around and growled at them, before charging at them, "Rodney!" Sheppard yelled as he tackled Rodney to the ground, causing the Wraith to stumble.

"Oh god.. thanks." Rodney said, but it sounded as though he were panicing

Sheppard jumped up, and charged the Wraith, who in turn swung his feeding hand towards Sheppard, but before the Wraith got his hand remotely close to Sheppard, he stabbed his knife into the feeding hand and twisted it behind the Wraith's back, before Rodney threw his knife across the room, intending for it to make it into Sheppards hand, but Rodney, being a horrible shot, managed to land it right in the other hand of the Wraith, who used it to jab through Sheppards arm. Sheppard yelled, "For gods sake Rodney, you need practice!"

Rodney just grunted and continued working at the console, and Sheppard pulled the knife from the Wraith's arm and then reached his arm around the Wraith's throat and jabbed the blade through the neck of his would-be attacker. The Wraith dropped instantly, and Sheppard backed away slightly, "Rodney, you done? I don't wanna stick around incase he wakes up from that.

"Yes.. the door is unlocked, go." Rodney said, already moving towards the door.

As he pushed it open, Rodney's eyes opened wide, and Sheppard whispered "What is it Rodney..."

"Uhh.. you sure this is Earth? There's quite a few Wraith here." Rodney said, in that tone that told you that he thought he was going to die.

"Great.." Sheppard said before moving towards the console again. He studied the contents of the screen before seeing something rather strange. Rodney hadn't unlocked the door, it was already unlocked. What Rodney had done was open the communications panel. He was talking to someone. Then he stumbled on something in the database. That wasn't Rodney, it was a Wraith..
