Congrats to firefly-827347. Now I just need your name so I can add you into the story. It can be your name or a name you like if you prefer.

Disclaimer: I don't own this awesome bunch.

"You have to go alone?"

"Yes. Otherwise Kolya will think I've broken the deal and John will ... well you get the point."

"I see. I will give you what you need. But not because I want to help you. I have no interest in your well being. However, John holds a special place in my heart. If it wasn't for him, I never would have offered you my help if you were to need it."

"That was the deal. You leave and if anything ever happened, you'd be the first I would call. As long as ..."

"I gave you 'special' help." Elizabeth thought that she had forgotten her part of the deal. Luckily for her, she was willing. "Are you ready? Because if your not, I can't do this twice. Even once takes too much out of me. I'll be too exhausted to try again." Elizabeth hesitated for a moment. What if there are consequences? Will she go back to normal when this is all over? "You know I can hear you?"

Elizabeth looked up into her eyes. That came as a shock, but considering who she was talking to it didn't really surprise her that much.

"I'm telepathic. Read your mind. Hear your thoughts. You can ask me those questions yourself."

"I'm sorry." Elizabeth waited there in silence. Gesturing with her hands. "Well. Will it?"

"It will go away just as easily as it came. Well almost as easily."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Let's just say it's not the most pleasant experience. After all technically I'll be adding an anomaly that does not belong to your DNA. Did you expect it to go smoothly?"

"I didn't expect it to hurt."

"It'll be more like what you call a migraine. You still want to do this right?"

"Yes." She would do anything to save him.

"Why are you doing this?" The woman standing before Elizabeth was confused. It made no sense to her. What ties did she have to John?"Why would you sacrifice your life when you don't even know if you will succeed?"

She hadknown the answer to that question for sometime now. He was more than just her ranking military officer. More than just her friend. She cared for him so much that it hurt. She couldn't help it.

The way he snuck up on her when she was least expecting it. The way he could make he laugh, even if she had had the worst day imaginable, he was always therefor her at the end of it all.

He provided support, comfort. He was her rock. She was nothing without him. He, John Sheppard completed her.

"Because ... I love him." Her words hit the woman square in the eyes. Love. Something she could comprehend.

With that the woman standing before her placed the palms of her hands on Elizabeth's temples. "You and I may not agree on much Dr. Weir, but for what you are doing ... I respect you for it."

And with that a bright white light pulsated from her palms into Elizabeth's very core.

"Fifteen minutes, sir."

"I know what time it is you fool. Start down. By the time you get back, she'll either be here or she won't. Either way I want Sheppard here."

Strapp headed down the stairs. He never knew someone who was filled with more hate and vengeance than his CO. Kolya was a cold blooded killer. The worst part about it was he was starting to have doubts.

What they were doing didn't sit right with him. Kolya was using two people's feelings for each other to draw them to their deaths.

Even he knew that was cruel.

He pulled out his keys. What was he doing? He couldn't possibly go through with this could he? From what he knew of Dr. Weir and the people of Atlantis was that they were just explorers like the Genii. Enemies of the Wraith. Something of which they had in common. So why did Kolya want to kill them so much.

The Atlanteans could prove to be great allies. And John Sheppard, he was a marvelous fighter. So why were they at odds still? Even Sora had said they were decent – once she was released to go back to her people.

He opened the cell door.

He was tired of being taken every few minutes to answer questions when they knew he'd never utter a word.

Expecting Kolya, he looked up.

"Oh, it's you. You know it's getting prettyold being treated like this. You people think you can just barge in here and ..."

"Colonel Sheppard why is it that you let Sora go?"

John couldn't believe his ears. This man was completely out of his mind.

"You could have kept her locked up, yet you chose to let her return to us, unharmed even. Why is that?"

"Listen. Just because we're at war doesn't mean we're going to beat every prisoner senseless. If we did we would be no different than the wraith. Showing kindness in the mist of chaos is the one thing that sets us apart from them. If we didn't do things differently we'd be no better than the things we're fighting against.That's a line we just don't cross."

He was confused. This man in front of him was supposed to be his enemy, but he still treated his people with civility.

She rose up from the floor. It had felt like more than just a mere migraine. He skull felt like it was going to split in two. –Are you alright? –

"I'm fine. You could have been more honest with your depiction. A migraine. Ha." –Well it seems to have worked– "How can you be so sure?" –Look at me–

Elizabeth raised her head wearily. What the heck am I supposed to be seeing? –Look closer–

"I am looking closer. I don't understand ... wait." Elizabeth squinted. Were her eyes playing tricks on her? – I assure you they are fine –"Your lips didn't move." –Now you see–

"Now listen to me closely Elizabeth. You have limits. You can do everything that I can do. More so than John. You both carried the gene. It's strong in the both of you. Stronger than I have ever seen in someone of your race. You already possessed all of these abilities. I just brought them to the surface."

"You don't know how grateful I ..."

"There is no need. I now know for certain that the both of you were meant to be. Anyone could see it. Now go. He needs you."

A grin spread across Elizabeth's face. She turned to go, but before she did she stopped. She placed her hand on the frame of the door.

"Chaya, thank you."

Is it what you expected? Review please.
