" Okay, that should do it." the voice was feminine, but hazy, like through a long tunnel.

" Do you need anything more while it's unconscious, Doc?"

" No, I don't think so."

" I think it's coming around, get out of there."

" Come on, Jen."

The voices stopped and all I can hear now is the sound of my own heart beating, slowly at first but quicker with each passing second. I open my eyes, it takes a moment for my vision to clear before I see room I'm in. Gray wall, people standing in front of me, but slightly distorted and it isn't my vision. Slowly, I sit up and feel my muscles try to shake off the residual effects of the tranquilizer.

" I'm telling you, she doesn't look like a Wraith."

" IT is a female, maybe young females look more human until the mature."

I push myself to my feet and feel myself sway on the spot, my legs feel like jello and my knees give way, but I don't hit the floor. Instead, something stops me in mid air, then the pain in my shoulder makes itself know and I look over to see glass fogging up from my breathe.

I'm trapped. I'm drugged and I'm trapped and they all think I'm a young Queen.

" It doesn't look very superior now."

" No, but it does look sick." I raise my head at this voice, I search the faces until I see one person that stands out in my memory.

" McKay?" my voice is rough and I feel my throat scald at the one word.

" How does it know your name, Doctor?"

" Got me."

I look around my little glass enclosure for something to help me pull myself up with, but I only see a small bed bolted to the cement floor. I reach out and flex my muscles, pleased to feel them filled with the power that I am use to. Standing more securely, I look back at McKay, " Rodney? What's going on?"

I wince at the agony those four words cause me but I don't show any other sign of defeat. Something is wrong.

He steps forward and stops inches from the glass, " How do you know my name?"

I lick my lips, " If you... don't know, McKay... then there... is nothing... that I can say."

" Doctor? Do Wraith usually behave this way?" my gaze falls on a young boy, no way that he could be older then nineteen, a newbie.

" The Wraith are very good at playing mind games, but I haven't encountered such as this before."

" Maybe the survivors have been watching us."

" Doubtful, that other Wraith had more important things on his mind than following us."

Fear grips me at McKay's words, what other Wraith? Is he talking about Todd?

" Okay, here's a good question... why does she look like she's about to loose her mind with fear? That can't be Wraith-like."

McKay gets a confused expression as he takes in mine, " Good point. Inexperienced?"

I build up all my strength before I walk up in front of McKay, the glass the only thing separating us, " McKay. Where is Todd?"

" Todd? What in the world is she talking about?"

" McKay! Where's Todd!"

" Calm down. Who is Todd? And since you are showing no signs what-so-ever of being a egomaniac Queen, who are you and what where you doing at the site in the desert?"
I slam my forehead into the glass before meeting his gaze again, " My name is Faith, that's what you and everyone on Atlantis has ever known me by. In Vegas, I'm Faith O'Neill, and yes, after I chose that name I stuck with on purpose."

" Okay, Faith. Who's this Todd guy that you where screaming for not long ago?"

I bit my lower lip, not the question I want to answer while in a glass box, " Todd... is the name that John gave my Wraith."

" Your Wraith?"

I nod, " I've known him since the Lantians left Pegasus, I've been apart of his Hive ever since. We even had two children together, granted, Alexander wasn't by conventional means, but he welcomed the idea," I look McKay square in the eye and I see him flinch slightly, " Do you know what it is like to lose a child after eight thousand years?"

" Wait, how can anything live that long?" I glance at the Newbie.

" You haven't been here long have you."

He looks at a man standing next to him who is almost as tall as Todd before facing me again, " How did you know?"

" Your lack of knowledge... Wraith can live as long as they have a source to feed on, the same is said for my kind."

McKay holds up his hand, " Hold it right there. What is your kind?"

I shrug, " I'm a vampire, from Earth. And before your imagination gets the best of you all, sunlight is great, I'm not undead or dead, my heart beats strongly, and I have no problem with garlic."

Everyone stills before, but Newbie is the one who loses all color to his skin, " Vampires don't exist."

My laughter makes them flinch, " Well then, the Stargate must be nothing but a hocks, and the Wraith a figment of your imagination. Atlantis is just a legend and nothing more, the Ori are nothing but smoke and mirrors," I pause to look them in the eye, " Get the picture?"

McKay nods, " Yes, got it... so, your children were what? Hybrids?"

I shake my head, " Not like Micheal's, they were experiments. My children were the perfect blend of Wraith and Vampire, they fed both ways but with the two of us they didn't need to look very far. Alex died a solid thousand years before I had Emily."

" Are you saying that there isn't just an untold number of Wraith out there, there is something else too?" the tall man was starting to annoy me.

I glare at him, " No. Your in luck. You see, Emily died two weeks ago. There was a... flaw, in a gene therapy that Atlantis came up with. She was one to the first to die. Todd would have as well if John hadn't allowed him to leave Atlantis."

McKay meets my gaze, " None of what you say has ever happened here. I have never met you, I assume this 'Micheal' of your is our Marcus, you haven't said as much but I'm guessing that 'John' is John Sheppard. But in this world did you get here?"

I exhale to calm myself down, " We don't know. I was flying the Jumper with Todd behind John's, taking on this super Hive that was heading for Earth, when this... blinding white light appeared in front of us. The next thing I know, I'm under pounds of scrap metal with a re-bar imbedded in my abdomen. Todd was unharmed for the most part, we say your vehicles headed toward us and we decided that being there wasn't the best place."

" So you ran?" this seemed ill logical to Newbie.

I nod, " If you were in our position, you would have to. At the time, we were both confused, had no clue what had happened. We didn't know for sure who was coming toward us. All I knew was that we were on Earth somehow and that our Jumper was completely totaled."

" Jumper? You mean your Gate Ship?" McKay seemed perplexed at my name.

I smile at him, " Let me guess... John never got to Atlantis, did he."

" Why would you say that?"

My smile widens, " Because, from what I heard, you tried to name the Jumper 'Gate Ship One' on the rescue mission to save us from this Hive. John wouldn't have it and decided the Puddle Jumper was more appropriate."

McKay got a disgusted look on his face, " Puddle Jumper? What an awful name for-"

There was a electron click behind him before the gray door opened to reveal Dr. Keller. Rodney straightened up and hurried to her side but she held up her hand and gripped his with her other, her gaze darted to mine before turning away, " We have to talk, Rodney."

I watched with a sinking sensation as the door closed behind them, the look on Newbie's face wasn't much better, he was just as clueless about this as I. Tall Guy didn't seem effected one bit except that he was gripping his gun a little more securely, probably waiting to see if I'll take a chance and try to escape while there are only three of them left. I roll my eyes and turn away from the glass, I glance at my once black dress with disgust. The next second I see the sandy dust dissolve away leaving me perfectly presentable.

" How did you do that?" I turn around to see Newbie watching me with alarmed eyes.

I shake my head, " Just something that I can do. I don't need to buy clothes."

Tall Guy sneers in my direction, " What else are you not telling us?"

I glare at him with enough loathing to potentially melt the glass, instead, I step forward and place my right hand flat on the cool surface. The three of them raise their guns but when I don't do anything Newbie lowers his, slowly so that they can see, I extend my talons until they are at their full length. I barely tap the glass with my pointer talon and the glass spider-webs out in a network of miniature fractures.

" Wow. That glass is an inch thick. How did you do that?" he was the only one who seemed genuinely impressed at my display.

I smile at him, purposely showing my lengthened fangs, " What can I say? It's who I am. Actually, there is nothing that any of you could do to stop me if I wanted out of here. Bullets hurt me, sure, but all they really do his seriously piss me off."

The door clicks again and opens to admit Rodney and Keller back in, Rodney looks like he's about to be sick and Keller just looks worried. When they see me with my talons on the broken glass and my dying smile, fangs still visible, Rodney pauses while Keller jumps slightly.

I lower my hand, retracting my talons and fangs simultaneously, before daring to ask, " What is it?"

McKay glances at Keller from the corner of his eye before walking toward me. He stands in front of the glass for a few seconds, a look of absolute concentration on his face, " Don't take this the wrong way. Jen took a sample of your blood to run tests on, see if you really were a Wraith, stuff like that. Well, she found something kind of disturbing in the results." he stops and looks at Keller who slowly walks forward to stand next to him.

" Um, your test came back negative on everything Wraith, so we can say with certainty that you aren't one now. But, ah, the tests also came up with some hormones that shouldn't be in anyone's body."

She pauses and looks up at McKay, for no reason at all I feel my temper rise and I clench my fist, " Just spit it out!"

Keller jumps again and faces me, " You have traces of Progesterone and Estrogen in your blood, the Estrogen isn't very unusual, but the Progesterone is only seen when someone is-"

" Pregnant." suddenly, my anger just a second ago made perfect sense. I stumbled back and fell on top of the bed, my body tingling like I had ants crawling over me. My breathing hitches as I look down and place my left hand over my abdomen, closing my eyes I search my body. Sure enough, there's a heart beat that is faster then my own, but there is something off about it. I search deeper and am shocked to hear two heartbeats besides mine.

My eyes fly open and I start to hyperventilate with overwhelming shock. I see McKay banging on the glass but I can't hear anything except for the separate hearts inside me. Vaguely aware of the significance, I watch as Keller opens a previously unseen door and enters my glass cage. My gaze follows her as she walks to me and kneels in front of me, concern on her face, her lips moving but I still can't hear anything but the hearts. I catch movement out of the corner of my eye, I snap my head toward it in time to see McKay gab a needle into my arm. The sting that follows is nothing compared to what I have felt, but the involuntary action of my muscles relaxing caught me by surprise. Inside me, the two little hearts slow as the drug penetrates my system, my slowing as well. I feel two pairs of hands lowering me against the cot and a remarkable rush of resentment floods through me, practically over riding the effect of the drug.

My senses clear and I look at Keller's fearful expression, I glance up at the person who had injected me to see a unhappy McKay holding the needle, my indignation increases. I lift my head and curse at him loudly in Wraith, pleased to see his eyes widen as he not only recognizes the language, but as he realizes what I'm saying.

Keller turns to McKay, " What did she just say?"

" And in what?" Newbie looked worried for his own sanity.

McKay inched away from me as I shifted back up into a sitting position, " I'd rather not repeat what she said, as what she was speaking, simple. It was Wraith, very fluent at that."

I look up to glare at him with as much wrath as I can muster, " Compliments wont put you back in my good graces, Doctor."

Keller stands and I turn my attention back to her, " He was only doing what I told him, if you want to be mad at someone, here I am."

My fury lessens at her offer, I glance at McKay to see him paler than his usual as he stares at Keller like it might be his last time seeing her, I smile wickedly at his expression before turning back to Keller who is rethinking her offer, " I don't care who ordered it done, he is still the one who did it. As for you taking the blame, I don't think you want to honor you decision to take the blame. Granted, I think was joking when I threatened to kill him. Can't be entirely sure though."

Newbie looks startled, " She threatened to kill you? Why didn't you run out?"

" Because you don't run from a predator, that only seals you fate."

I nod, " Very good, McKay. The fact that the anger I felt is slowly sinking into the darkest regions of my mind has nothing to do with it, I'm sure. Just remember, my fuse is still awfully short, don't test me."

" Wasn't going to."

" It might be wise."

Keller shakes her head and waves her hand at me to get my attention, my head snaps toward her, " Sorry to interrupt, but I'm just a little curious as to why the sedative was needed?"

I cock my head to right, " Sedative, huh? No wonder it was so easy to push out. You want to know the reason behind my... episode. Okay, one word... twins."

" Twins!" five separate voices said at the same time, I was about to comment when a horrible screeching sound started on the other side of the door.

"Sir! We have a breach! I repeat! We have a breech!" the voice came over Tall Guy's radio.
