DOPPELGANGER
Chapter 7
In the infirmary, Alex, became a little more lucid, she remembered someone saying something, about there being no injections, she turned her head and saw Doctor Beckett. She must have made a noise, because he turned and looked at her.
"Alex?" He came over to her.
"You need an injection, for me?" She asked him.
"Yes, lass, we do." Beckett nodded.
"Ask Kai, for one." She told him.
"Aye, we'll do that, don't worry your pretty head about it, you just rest." Beckett told her, he called Ronon, and told him to find Colonel Sheppard. But before Ronon had a chance to leave the infirmary, Sheppard came strolling in.
"Colonel Sheppard, we were just about to look for you." Beckett told him.
Immediately, thinking something had happened, Sheppard glanced over to where Alex was, and saw that she was awake. He turned back to look at Beckett.
"We might know where to get an injection for Alex." Beckett told him.
"Where?"
"Alex mentioned Kai." Beckett told him. Sheppard, frowned at Alex, she looked more alert than before. He walked over to her.
"Alex, how do we get an injection for you, off Kai?" He asked her. She gave him a smile.
"You just ask him." She told him.
"And he'll hand it over, just like that." Sheppard said, with disbelief.
"Of course, he will."
"Why 'of course'?" Sheppard asked, her, wondering why she sounded so positive, as to what the guy would do. She didn't answer him.
Sheppard made the message himself, asking Kai for the injection, over the radio, which was relayed throughout the city, then they waited.

Teyla, who'd dismissed herself from the infirmary, against Beckett's express wishes, was walking along the corridor. As she passed an open doorway, she was suddenly grabbed from behind, and dragged inside the room.
"Take it easy, I'm not going to hurt you." The male voice, told her, as she struggled, to get free. "Calm down and I'll let you go." He told her, loosening his hold on her.
Teyla stopped struggling, and felt the man's arms, loosening, and falling away from her. She quickly turned to look who it was. Her eyes widened as she saw who it was, Kai. He stood over six foot tall, his brown hair was short, almost military style short, wearing khaki combats and a black t-shirt, he looked just like the marines who were based on Atlantis. He smiled at her, but Teyla was remembering the last time she had met Kai, when he looked like Colonel Sheppard. She also remembered how he'd attacked her.
Kai could see the looks she was giving him, he could see the confusion, the anger, and was that a hint of attraction, he could see in her eyes, probably just wishful thinking on his part, he thought.
"I never meant for you to get hurt, before, I didn't realise you were so close to the stairs." He said, trying to apologise for hurting her.
"What do you want?" Teyla asked, ignoring his apology, she was deciding what to do.
Kai, pulled out two syringes from his pack and walked towards her, watched her back away from him. He placed them on the surface, and moved back.
"That's for Alex." He told her, watching her pick the syringes up, and look at them.
"How did she get hurt?" He asked, he was curious as to how Alex had been hurt.
"I've been told it was your fault." Teyla, told him bluntly.
"What do you mean my fault?" Kai asked.
"When you looked like Alex, and you ran away from Ronon. Ronon assumed that the real Alex was you."
"You mean he attacked Alex, didn't he know it was her." Kai, cursed, he hadn't realised, he thought the guy would have know it was the real Alex.
"No, and when Alex tried to tell him, he wouldn't listen, he just thought you were saying it to get away."
"So how was she hurt."
"She fell on to glass, cutting her stomach." Teyla watched him closely, he truly seemed to be upset, but that could just be a ruse, she didn't know the guy, so she couldn't say what his character was like.
They stood there watching each other, Teyla wondered what she should do, should she try to capture Kai, or just let him walk away.
"I suggest you get that syringe to Alex as quick as possible." Kai told her, he knew she was thinking about trying to capture him, he could see the calculating way she was looking at him, as if she were playing out the capture in her head. He watched her, hesitate, then leave, Kai, sighed, he wouldn't mind a friendly tussle with Teyla, he found her very attractive. Maybe next time, he told himself, getting out of the room before anyone came looking for him.
>>>>>ooooo>>>>>
Teyla entered the infirmary, and handed the syringes to Beckett, who immediately gave Alex an injection. Sheppard asked Teyla about what had happened.
"The guy just gave you them?" He asked, her.
"Yes, he also apologised for hurting me." she told him.
"Nice of him." Sheppard remarked, sarcastically.
"I believe he truly meant the apology." Teyla told him, "He also looked upset that he'd been the cause of Alex's injuries, he believed that Ronon would realise that it was the real Alex and not him." Teyla said.
Sheppard narrowed his eyes, and looked at her, "Teyla?" He said, as if in question.
"I assure you Colonel I am not Kai."
"Well you would say that, wouldn't you, I mean it's not as if you're gonna turn around and admit that you're Kai, is it?" He said, watching her reactions closely.
"Then I would suggest, that you lock me up, Colonel, until you are sure." Teyla, told him.
Sheppard, wasn't sure, "You remember when we first met, and you offered me lemonade." He asked her.
"No, I don't remember that."
"You don't." He tensed, at her answer.
"I remember offering you, tea." She said, watching the relief appear on his face.
"Just making sure." He told her, grinning. He moved over to Alex and Beckett.
"So is everything alright, now." He asked, Beckett.
"Aye, she'll be fine, just needs to rest for a while, then she can be released. But she'll still need to be careful, we don't want her tearing the stitches in her stomach."
Sheppard, watched Alex sleeping, she didn't look as pale as she did before, he brushed her hair back from her face, felt his emotions building, so he pulled his hand back and turned away, he wasn't sure he wanted this.
"Teyla, could you do a favour, for me." He asked her.
"What is it?"
"Could you have someone fix Alex's room up?"
He saw Teyla angle her head as she looked at him, saw her brow rise. "I was looking for an injection, and made a bit of a mess." He told her.
"Yes, I will make sure someone fixes it up." She assured him.
Sheppard looked at his watch, it was very late, he realised. Seeing as everything was alright he left the infirmary and headed to his quarters. He realised that he still had unanswered questions, why had Kai handed over the injections so readily. Sheppard thought of the guy as a rogue, someone who had turned, but the guys actions didn't place him in that category. And Teyla saying that the guy had apologised to her, what the hell was that all about.
As he passed McKay's lab he saw Rodney still in there.
"McKay, did you manage to look through the box?" He asked him.
"Sheppard." McKay, said warily. "Are you, you?" He asked.
"Yes, are you, you?" Sheppard responded.
"Of course I am." McKay, said annoyingly.
"What's your real name?" Sheppard asked him. He watched the anger rising in McKay, his face looked like it was about to explode. Sheppard smiled, and waited for McKay to answer.
"Well." Sheppard, prompted McKay.
"Meredith." McKay, said under his breath.
"What did you say?" Sheppard asked, putting his hand to his ear, and leaning closer to McKay.
"Meredith!" McKay, said louder.
"I didn't know you'd changed your name." Sheppard said, parodying McKay, from earlier, in the briefing room.
"Very funny." McKay, snarled, angry that Sheppard had made him say it.
"Relax, McKay, at least we know it's really you."
"Yes, but we don't know if it's really you, do we?" McKay said.
"No you don't." Sheppard said, looking at McKay, and giving him a sly grin. Sheppard left the room and grinned, he could hear Rodney blabbering away in his lab. Sheppard didn't see the young woman standing behind the wall, didn't see her change to look like him.
Kai, looking like Sheppard entered McKay's lab, checking to see that Ronon wasn't around.
"What do you want now?" McKay asked, looking up to see Sheppard.
When Sheppard smiled at him, something told McKay, that this wasn't the real Sheppard.
"Hey McKay, you never said, if you got a chance to look through the box." Sheppard said from the doorway.
Sheppard, stopped in the doorway, McKay was standing next to Sheppard, or Kai, who looked like him.
"Nice to meet you, Kai." Sheppard said, harshly.
"Colonel Sheppard." Kai responded.
