Disclaimer : Dr. Ellie Lorne, Major James Reece, Lt. Matthew Franks, Lt. Chrissie Lorne and any O/C's are mine. Lyssa Hunter-Sheppard belongs to Kazavid and is from her Atlantis stories Behind The Mask and Reunions. Stargate Atlantis, unfortunately, has nothing to do with me.
Summary : Ellie and the rest of Atlantis get to see a darker side of Lorne that they never knew existed and they're all about to find out just how evil and depraved the Major can be.
"Chrissie is your cousin", Ellie answered Lorne as Chrissie stepped forward.
"You don't remember me? What did that bitch Angelique do to you?", she asked and Lorne frowned as he was reminded of the woman in charge of the city.
"She must have chipped me just like what I've done to all the other military men", Lorne said handing Holly to Chrissie so that he could pace.
He needed to think.
Just then his ear-piece buzzed and Sheppard's voice said,
"Sir….I cant locate Franks and McKay but Lyssa tells me that she is a tracker….".
"Wait for me in your quarters, I will be right there", Lorne replied.
"Sir", Sheppard said and Lorne turned to Ellie.
"Where are your….our quarters?", he asked, correcting his mistake and Ellie placed Mackenzie back onto Chrissie's bed.
"Next floor down", she replied and Lorne reached for her arm.
"Wait! The twins…", Ellie began but Lorne shook his head.
"They'll be safer here for now", he told her and she nodded, glancing at Chrissie who touched her arm as Lorne pulled her to the door.
"I'll walk you to our room where you can wait for me to come back. Do not leave until I get there do you understand?", Lorne asked, following Ellie's lead as she headed for their quarters.
"Yes…I understand. What's going to happen?", she asked as they reached their door.
"I'm going to explain to Lyssa what has happened and then get her to track McKay and Franks and get her to arrange for them to meet with me. Are you certain I can trust her?", Lorne asked and Ellie nodded.
"You'll be able to trust her but I'm not certain that she will trust you. If you have any trouble convincing her just tell her that I said the pelvic floor exercises worked and then I'm sure you'll have her full co-operation", she said and Lorne looked at her somewhat perplexed but merely nodded and opened the doors to their rooms.
"Remember to wait here for me. I'll be back soon", he said, brushing her mouth with his, making Ellie want to cling to him but before she could he was taking off down the hall.
OoOoO
Major Reece glanced at the two people coming down the hall toward him pulling a trolley with boxes on it.
"Halt!", he called out and Teyla and Warren stopped and tried to appear casual as he approached them.
"What is this?", he asked and Warren replied,
"New laptops for the labs".
Reece moved around the back of Teyla, eyeing her up and down openly before opening one of the boxes on the trolley and looking inside.
Seemingly satisfied that at least the cargo was correct he said,
"Which lab are they for?".
"Dr Zelenka's", Teyla answered, smiling sweetly at him, barely able to believe that he didn't recognise her, especially since their last date had been a particularly memorable one!
Reece regarded her stonily for a moment before smiling at her.
"Okay….go ahead", he said, motioning with his P-90 that they move along the corridor.
"It's a good job he has the hots for you", Warren said when they were out of earshot and Teyla grinned rather smugly.
"Isn't it", she agreed.
OoOoO
Lorne entered Sheppard's quarters and said to Sheppard,
"Leave us".
"Sir", Sheppard replied, glancing at Lyssa before leaving the room.
When the door was closed Lorne said,
"I realise that something is not right and that Angelique is controlling the other Marines and myself and so I need your help".
Lyssa blinked at him, unsure if this was a trick or not.
"What do you want me to do?", she asked edgily and Lorne paced in front of her.
"I want you to find McKay and the Franks guy and organise a meeting with them for me".
"What have you done to Ellie?", Lyssa asked and Lorne stopped and looked at her again.
"Ellie is waiting for me in our quarters and is perfectly fine", he replied.
"How do I know you're not trying to set me up?", Lyssa asked and Lorne bit back a smile as he realised that Ellie obviously knew her friend well.
"Ellie said to tell you that the pelvic floor exercises worked. Apparently you should trust me after I tell you that", he said and Lyssa had to smile.
She stood and said,
"I guess we have a deal then".
Lorne nodded and called Sheppard back inside.
"Lyssa is working for us now…make it known that she is to be allowed free access around the city and is not to be stopped", he said and Sheppard frowned.
"But Sir……..", he began and Lorne glared at him.
"Are you questioning my orders?", he asked coolly and eventually Sheppard shook his head.
"No Sir".
"Good. Right…..report back to me when you have what I need", Lorne said to Lyssa, handing her an ear-piece and she nodded.
They all left Sheppard's quarters and it was Sheppard's turn to feel that something wasn't right.
He eyed Lorne suspiciously as they walked.
"I'm going to take a break", Lorne said. "Let me know if I'm needed", he added and Sheppard nodded, watching as Lorne walked down the hall and then went inside a room with double doors.
Frowning he moved away wondering if he should go and speak with Angelique. Lorne was being too trusting of the woman called Lyssa and he wasn't sure why.
OooOO
Zelenka looked up as Teyla and Warren walked into the lab with the trolley full of laptops.
Warren indicated the Doctor be quiet when he went to speak and Zelenka stayed silent and looked at Teyla questioningly.
"The delivery of laptops you were waiting for", she said, moving closer to him as Warren made a show of ripping open the boxes and generally making a lot of noise whilst she whispered,
"We need you to activate Dr McKay's, Dr Lorne's, Ronon's and Lt. Franks' trackers and give us their current locations".
Zelenka nodded and moved to his own laptop and began to tap away as Warren opened more boxes, ripping the cardboard up and stacking it by the door so that the soldiers outside could see him.
Eventually Zelenka turned to Teyla and whispered back,
"Dr Lorne is in hers and the Major's quarters, Ronon, Lt Franks and Rodney all appear to be……….underneath the city…..".
"Underneath…..?", Teyla asked and Zelenka shrugged.
Sighing she nodded and moved toward Warren.
"I have what we need, lets go", she said and Warren nodded and followed her from the lab.
As they left the labs and headed for the level changer, Teyla said to Warren,
"Dr McKay, Ronon and Lt Franks are underneath the city".
"In the ocean?", Warren asked and Teyla regarded him,
"We can only hope not. We must try to investigate and find them".
OOoOO
Ellie stood as Lorne entered their room and he walked over to her.
"You were right, Lyssa needed convincing", he said and Ellie smiled.
"She understood about the pelvic floor exercises then?".
"She must have….but I'm not sure I do. Why don't you explain it to me?", Lorne answered, catching her around the waist as she went to turn away and she blushed.
"It's a woman thing", she mumbled and Lorne smiled before growing serious.
"I've arranged for Lyssa to contact me when she finds McKay and Franks, then we can try and figure out a way to get the city back".
"I want to help….", Ellie began but Lorne shook his head.
"I want you where I know you are safe", he told her pulling her close and Ellie's breath caught as he cupped her buttocks and lifted her against him.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and moaned as he kissed her neck.
"I hope I didn't hurt you….in the power room…and the last time too. I wasn't exactly gentle", Lorne murmured against her skin and Ellie felt a rush of heat course through her as she remembered how he'd acted.
"You didn't", she managed, her hands moving down his chest and abdomen to the waistband of his combats.
"Can you stay a while?", she asked sounding breathless and Lorne nodded, his throat too constricted with passion to be able to speak.
He lifted her higher against him and moved toward the bed purposely……
A while later they surfaced and Lorne got dressed. He sat on the edge of the bed whilst he tied his boot laces and Ellie sat behind him, nibbling his ear.
"That was amazing", she said, sounding almost shy and Lorne twisted to look at her.
"Yeah, it was", he replied, touching a hand to her face and kissing her before turning back to his boots.
He stood and Ellie followed, pulling on her satin robe and belting it loosely around her waist.
Just then Lorne's ear-piece buzzed.
It was Lyssa.
"I found McKay and Franks and I persuaded them to see you….where do you want to meet?", she asked and Lorne looked at Ellie as he replied,
"Jumper Bay 3.…it's the only one unguarded at the moment".
"See you there then", Lyssa replied.
Lorne headed for the door.
"I have to go…..promise me you'll stay here and wait for me again?", he said opening the doors and Ellie followed him to the doorway.
"I promise", she said putting her arms around his neck and Lorne pulled her close for a kiss before releasing her and moving away, their hands the last things to part as he left.
Ellie went back inside and closed the door.
At the end of the corridor Angelique turned to Sheppard with barely concealed rage and she said,
"You did well to come to me. Major Lorne is obviously not all he appears. He is a traitor and he must be dealt with".
"Yes ma'am", Sheppard replied dutifully.
"You are in charge now…..bring Lorne to me and also get Major Reece to bring Lorne's little slut to me too", Angelique ordered and Sheppard nodded and moved away to do her bidding.
Angelique folded her arms and silently seethed.
Lorne would pay dearly for betraying her like this.
