Sorry about the wait been REALLY busy. Really loved writing this chapter it's mainly about Young and TJ's past which i love. Thanks for reading and your comments on previous chapters keep the advice and ideas up :)
The room was pitch black, screaming could be heard down the hall, it was so loud that TJ had to cover her ears with her hands the only part of her body that she could move. Her entire body was strapped to a wall by vines combined with some slimy black goo. The screaming stopped only for the sound of echoing footsteps getting louder and louder as they seemingly got closer.
"You've got nowhere to run away to now" a voice said in the darkness almost haunting "Your friends cant get to you now."
"Who are you and what do you want?" TJ asked voice shaking.
"You know who it is" The voice replied. Of course her capture Simeon. A light filled the room leaving Simeon only a foot away from her.
"Have you missed me?" Simeon asked smirking. TJ had no reply, it wasn't worth it "Of course you have" he continued.
"RUSH!" Colonel Young yelled "WHAT HAPPENED?"
"The ship, it must have beaming capability and beamed them both up" Rush answered instantaneously.
"Can we get to them" Young replied now holding Rush's shoulders.
"Aye I think we might. I think we may be able to dock their ship with a shuttle." Rush said enthusiastically.
"Well lets get back to destiny then." Young said hastily.
"Hey wait listen, by the time we get there TJ might already be.." Rush started. Greer could see the anger of these words on Young and replied for him "We never leave anyone behind." Young turned to look at Greer and nodded in appreciation.
"Atten...tion!" ordered Colonel Young. All of the people expected to gate through to the ancient ship were in one line. The line was in order of authority (the chain of command) and had both military and civilians (the civilians including IOA representative). Colonel Telford first, followed by Colonel Young, 1st Lt Matthew Scott, 1st Lt Tamara Johansen, IOA representative Camille Wray, Doctor Rush, 2nd Lt Vanessa James and Master Sergeant Ronald Greer, the rest of the crew were in random order.
Colonel Telford, General O'Neil and Colonel Johansen walked down the line inspecting each person as they went along.
"Colonel Young I'm sure you know Colonel Telford." General O'Neil said.
"I do Sir we met a couple of days ago. I believe that he is leading the expedition." Young replied. He didn't like Telford one bit in fact he despised him. TJ said that he'd made a play for her in one of the corridors but at the time it seemed ridiculous until he'd caught him staring at her inappropriately.
"And Colonel Johansen?" General O'Neil asked.
"No Sir I don't I've had the pleasure" Young replied honestly although TJ has talked about him.
"Well he's..." O'Neil started.
"Let me General." Colonel Johansen interrupted."I'm sure you've met my daughter. She's a medic. Of course her mother and I have high expectations of her to become a Doctor. I hope that your going to look after her over there, I know she's had experience but it's a whole other world."
"I'll do my best" Young replied but quickly followed up by saying "Like I'm going to look out for other members of the crew."
"Of course Colonel I wouldn't think otherwise. So what do you think about the expedition?"
"Well I'd be lieing if I said that I wasn't nervous, but all in all in looking forward to seeing what's out there."
"I'm glad to hear that Colonel and I'm sure that you wont disappoint us."
He'd told her father that he'd look after her. Keep her safe. He'd failed and now she was on an alien ship on her own. The rescue team passed one by one through the wormhole and back onto Destiny.
"Colonel?" She face looked scrunched together as if she was going to cry "TJ's not with you?" She had become close with TJ since they'd boarded Destiny, she considered her a friend.
"Erm..." Young answered trying to find his words and process the question. "We found her with Simeon. Looks like they'd been fighting. God Camille you should have seen her she looked terrible, he'd definitely not held anything back but neither had she, he was pretty rough as well. He was holding her hostage and then a ship.." Young paused and caught his breath "a ship took them both." He could see the horror in Camille's face "There is a chance that we can catch up with them and dock them. Hopefully Rush can help her." Young concluded.
"Colonel are you okay? You look pale." Camille asked concerned. "Sir.."
"Colonel Young!" Telford shouted. He caught up with him. "I've been asked to send the entire crew to the infirmary for a medical check-up before we dial the ninth chevron" He looked over his shoulder and lowered his voice so that only Colonel Young could hear "Looks like I'm going to have a close examination with the hot medic. It's Lt Johansen isn't it?" The question was obviously rhetorical he knew full well what her name was. He saw the dark and angry expression on Young's face "What's wrong Everatt?" He said starting to walk away, as he did so he gave Young a quick wink. Before Telford knew it he was pinned to the wall, Young's forearm was across his neck.
"Oh come on it's only a bit of fun" He chuckled "and if you have forgotten you follow my orders so if I were you I'd let me go." His face had become serious as Young was pressing harder on his neck.
"Colonel?" TJ voice came from the end of the corridor. She ran towards the two men and as she got closer Young released Telford. Telford took in a few deep breaths then shot a dangerous look at Young.
"Sir are you okay?" TJ said directing her question to Colonel Young but before he could answer Telford butted in.
"I'm fine TJ, thanks for asking" he said sarcastically and smiling at TJ " You umm..." he walked closer towards TJ making her feel uncomfortable "you wanna do my examination now?" He gave a small wink to her but before he could say anything else she looked at Young.
"Sir I've been asked by General O'Neil to give you a check-up first. If you come with me now it will only take ten minutes" She said pushing herself slightly past Colonel Telford.
"Of course Lieutenant, we'll go now" Young said guiding TJ to the infirmary by the arm.
They reached the infirmary.
"You look pale Sir. You okay?" TJ asked.
A smile appeared on Young's face, he sat on the edge of the infirmary bed.
"Your gorgeous you know that" Young said. TJ was taken aback she froze standing in front of him.
He rose from the bed and planted a kiss on her lips. The room disappeared around her, for a few seconds nothing else mattered. She kissed back, she knew that she'd regret it later but... she loved him. Yes she loved him. They broke apart.
"How about we skip the check-up and go to my quarters" Young said smiling.
"I..." TJ started but he placed his finger to her lips.
"Just say yes" He said softly. Nothing else mattered. Only her.
"Yes" She replied not wanting to loose his gaze.
He took her hand and guided her to his room, the whole way looking into each others eyes only seeing the love for each other.
Really enjoyed writing this chapter hope you all liked it. Not sure how many more chapters to do the next one may be my last on this story. If anyone really wants there to be more than one more chapter then leave a review or send a message. Thanks for reading!
