Chapter 14
The Wraith...desires.
Carson touched the quarters door panel and waited.
It opened only after a long pause. He looked up and... he opened his mouth wide.
Mo stood before him in underwear, finishing just styling her long hair.
- I'm sorry, I still can not get used to manually open - she said cheerfully, going back to the bathroom.
- Maybe I'll wait on the corridor?
She leaned out of the bathroom, with amusement on her face.
- I beg you, Carson. For over two hundred years I living on a ship full of guys.
- Well, yes, but they are... - he did not know how to finish the sentence.
Mo smirked again.
- Believe me, guys are guys... regardless of the species - she said, and went back to the bathroom.
- Well, yes - he said and walked into the room. After a long pause he added: - Woolsey asked me to remind you that today command envoy arrives...
- Yes, I remember: I have to be a good girl and nobody to eat - she joked, going to the bathroom. - And how do you like it? I borrowed a few of Lineth's things. Unfortunately, I have only one shoe, so the combinations are limited.
The man looked at her very carefully. She was wearing a type of leggings and a tunic reaching to the knees, a cut in several places. Revealed some of her shoulders. All together perfectly emphasized her shape. Whole complemented hair tied back to expose the long neck.
- You look very nice - said the embarrassed Beckett.
- Thank you, Carson... You're sweet - she said happy, smiling brightly at him.
Man felt himself blushing.
Mo came to the door and opened it.
- Shall we? - she asked, standing on the corridor, looking at completely distracted doctor.
- What?... Ah, yes, of course - he said, and followed her.
Move corridors of the base, he had the feeling that everyone is watching them... or rather as a young Wraith female. She looked very lovely in that outfit... and feminine, despite the heavy, almost military boots, he thought.
But she seemed to completely ignore the passing people, asking him about different things with his life. Finally, he no longer pay attention to the other.
So they passed nearly an hour the canteen, before he realized that a long time ago should be in the lab.
Going into the lab, he was trying to pretend that nothing had happened, although he was confused with his behavior. As Chief Medical Officer he should lead by example... and not to come to work at the end... Luckily no one, perhaps not even paid attention to this fact, so he quickly went to work.
Mo stood beside him, looking at the monitor, which bore the results of her yesterday research.
- You have beautiful blue eyes, Carson - she said suddenly, staring at him.
He looked at her, confused.
- ...Thank you, my dear - again felt himself blushing, so he focused. - Like I said... what was I said?
- That you wanted one more time carry out an analysis spectral - she reminded him, still watching him closely. - Blue shirt strongly emphasizes your eyes - she added. - Maybe you should just wear a little deeper shades of this color.
She ran a finger diagonally from his shoulder through the chest.
- ...I will remember - he said, more and more confused, and distracted. He grabbed her hand and held it. - Maybe you have browsed the rest of the files on a laptop... and I do a few more tests - he said.
She smiled.
- Tests? - she repeated slowly.
- Yes... On your blood samples - he said with a frown. - Are you OK? - he asked. - Because you behave strangely - e said with a little trepidation.
- Perfectly - she said, not taking her eyes out of him and smiling gently. - I've never felt better.
- That's good... Laptop is still on the table - he pointed.
- Laptop?
- With files about which you asked for yesterday - he recalled.
She looked in the direction in which Beckett pointed out by hand.
- I wanted to finish analysis, before arrives envoy command - added and went to the refrigerator, pulling out of the several vials.
- Yes... of course - she said, looking at him for a moment longer, and then she came out finally of the lab.
Absorbed in his work doctor, did not even notice when.
Wandering the corridors of the station, Moonlight watched carefully staggered people, seeming to look at them for something... especially in men. But no one has a particularly caught her attention.
Finally she reached the level where there were several smaller rooms gyms. Most were empty, but in one of the last, John Sheppard prepared just for exercise with Teyla Emmagan.
Female Wraith stopped in the doorway, with slight amusement watching his movements. The blows which he performed with wooden sticks, for her seemed to be almost helpless.
Colonel noticed her after a while and stopped the exercise, eyeing her with his eyes.
- Are you so dressed up for a meeting with envoy of command? - he snorted.
- It's wrong?
- No... But I did not think the Wraith attach to this account.
- A lot of things you do not know about the Wraith... John Sheppard - she pointed out his name and slowly walked over to him, watching him intently. - You're waving the sticks, as if you drive off annoying insects - she said with irony, circling him.
- Teyla says I'm doing well - he said turning to her.
- Teyla's a good teacher... but she does not teach you the techniques for fighting the Wraith as well as the Wraith.
- It is proposed of lesson?
- If you want to - she said, still circling it slowly, and he still turned to her. - But I warn you, however, that it might... hurt - she said, stopping at the last word, and move your face close to his.
- I'm immune to pain - he boasted.
- Like any soldier... But you're much smarter than most of them.
- Complement with Wraith mouth?
- Just a statement of fact.
He smiled with satisfaction.
- So, what will be with these lessons?
- We can start at any time.
- I'm ready.
- I hope so - she said, with a smirk on her face.
For a moment they looked at each other... and suddenly Sheppard grabbed her face in his hands and kissed her.
She grabbed his wrists and threw her hands to the sides with warning growl, and then she grabbed him by the neck and in one fluid motion knocked to the ground. Kneeling beside him on one knee, she sneered, leaning over him.
He grabbed her by the shoulders and swung to the side. They changed positions. Now it he was on top. He leaning on his hands and slowly pulled his face to her, looking all the time in her green eyes.
She grabbed him by the neck and pulled him to kiss. He lay down on her, moving his hand on her thigh, buttock and higher. He could feel the adrenaline flow. He could feel as with every moment increases in him desire. He felt as if he... was burning.
Their lips swirled in a frenzied and passionate kisses, and hands roamed up and down.
He wanted her like no one before...
- John? - said from the doorway a startled Teyla voice.
They broke off.
Sheppard looked up slowly behind him, while the Moonlight lips touching his neck.
- What are you doing?
- And you can not see? - he sneered and furrowed his eyebrows slightly. - You can find a different room?
The woman came closer.
- Are you crazy?... What's wrong with you? - she became concerned.
Female Wraith looked at her uncomfortably and snapped a warning. Teyla took a step back.
- Go away - man hissed. - Unless you want to join - he added with a sneer.
The woman looked at him in disbelief.
Mo stop paying attention to it, including Sheppard's legs at the waist and turning his head back to again start kissing him passionately.
Teyla could not believe what she had just witnessed. She retreated quickly from the room and ran into the corridor to find the one person who in its opinion can at the moment something is addressed.
A few rooms further, Ronon gave Rodney's and Jennifer self-defense classes, knocking scientist was once again on the ground, when Teyla fell into the room.
- Do you have your gun? - she asked, looking around.
Her eyes stared at the object, which she was looking for.
- Why do you need it? - he asked, surprised, seeing how she runs and grabs his gun.
- I must to separate them - she said, and ran back.
- Who? - he called, moving behind her.
- John and Mo!
- They fight? - he growled and accelerated to run up to the room.
- No - Teyla said, setting the weapon to the appropriate power.
Dex stopped in the doorway, staring in disbelief as his friend rolled on the floor with a Wraith female.
- Sheppard? - he said finally.
He looked at him annoyed and wanted to say something, when suddenly Emmagan fired in his direction. Power bolt wound round his and Moonlight, but only after a while the colonel fell sideways to the ground, unconscious.
Mo threw the woman unpleasant look and snarled angrily, jumping up. Teyla fired again. Female Wraith wavered, but then she moved on. Athozian woman shot so again. Only this bolt knocked Mo on her knees, and then completely down. Teyla approached to her cautiously, all the while pointing to her with a gun.
For a moment, Mo looked at her... and then she closed her eyes.
Calming her breathing, Emmagan slowly lowered the gun.
- What was it? - asked finally with the threshold doctor Keller.
They both looked at her and McKay.
- Help me take her to the cell - said Teyla. - While she is unconscious.
- Good idea - Dex said.
- It was her idea - she said a woman.
- How so? - he asked, kneeling beside the Wraith.
- I think the shot with a stunner for a while to restore her presence of mind - she said. - She told me to lock her in a cell. We have to not approach to her, or she will take over control of our minds... Ronon? - she paused, noting how Dex vigilant female. - You better back off - she said, pushing him away from her.
Warrior looked at her in surprise.
- What happened?
- You tell me. You could not look away off her.
He frowned.
- I felt strange - he said, standing up. -... I had an irresistible urge to kiss her - he growled angry. - What's going on? The same thing happened with Sheppard?
- Maybe she produce some pheromones - Jennifer said, stepping closer and crouching. She raised her eyelids eye Wraith. Pupils were very much extended. - Something is wrong with her... She has greatly accelerated heartbeat... Let's get it better in the hospital.
- We can not... She told me to close her in cell - reminded Teyla. - Maybe she knows what is happening to her and why she told me to do it.
- All right - said Keller. - We'll carry her to the cell, and there I will examine her... while she is unconscious... And you - she looked at the two men - take to the colonel to sickbay... It would be better if you will keep away from her.
- Good idea - said McKay, and with Dex picked Sheppard.
- I'm taking your gun - Teyla said, pushing the gun in her belt pants.
- And let someone bring me my medical bag. I have to at least get her blood - Jennifer instructed.
Ronon nodded, and they just came out of the room.
Two women raised Moonlight from the floor, after which they were directed to the nearest transporter, and then the hall with cell.
They put a female on the ground and closed the entrance. At the end they launched force field.
- It is better to wait outside - Teyla said.
- Did she tell you anything else? - doctor Keller said, when the huge hall door closed behind her.
- No.. She'd only so much before she lost consciousness.
- Good enough.
- What do you think, what's wrong with her? - she asked worried.
- Judging by the reaction of men... and her behavior... I think she is kind of... rut - Jennifer said.
- You mean...? - she did not finish specially.
- Yes - she nodded.
- Why she did not say anything earlier?
- Maybe she did not know about it... the first time I meet up with something like that... Although it seems to me that something is not right... For a moment, even to me she seemed to be... attractive.
- I also had the feeling - Teyla admitted reluctantly.
- That's why I think that her state is not normal.
- What do you mean?
- It is possible that it has been artificially induced - she said, and suddenly her eyes widened. - Maybe Todd gave her something - she said.
- But why?
- She had him make new drones. Maybe in this way he wanted to effect this process. I do not know... make her to be more... fertile - doctor suggested.
- But she escaped before it happened... And she's not being able to concentrate on the production of drones...
- Her body had a different way to deal with it - finished Keller. - So she has become... horny - she joked.
- Just in the day when we have control with the command - Teyla murmured.
- That's right... I quite forgot.
Emmagan not answered. They both were very aware that this event will not affect the good opinions of command... and IOA.
In another part of Atlantis, Carson Beckett had just finished checking another sample under a microscope when Ronon almost threw Sheppard on one of the beds.
- Doc! - he called.
The man looked at him and walked quickly.
- What happened? - he asked concerned and set about examining the patient.
- Teyla shot him... with my gun - he explained calmly.
- Why? - he asked, looking at the two men.
- I think she was jealous - McKay snorted.
- Sorry Rodney, but I do not understand your joke... does anyone can finally say me, what happened?
- Teyla caught John and Mo how they… - he pointed to the unconscious colonel - rolling on the floor in the gym room. So she ran after Ronon gun and fired at them.
- To Mo total of three times... before she finally fallen - added Dex.
- Are you saying that the colonel and Mo...?
- How two rabbits - finished with amusement McKay.
Beckett was completely confused. He did not know what to say.
- Teyla and Jennifer was carried her into the cell... She ordered Teyla to do it, before she lost consciousness - Ronon said. - We have to keep away from her... especially men.
- I told you it will be nothing but trouble with her - Rodney said, already seriously.
The doctor wanted to say something, when suddenly Sheppard groaned, starting to wake up. They looked at him.
- What... what happened? - he asked, standing up, confused and sore.
- Maybe you tell us... Romeo? - McKay scoffed, folding his arms across his chest.
The colonel looked at him questioningly.
- What are you talking about?
- About how you and Mo bring pleasures yourself on the floor.
- Say what?! Are you crazy! She is... Wraith.
- Somehow it did not bother you, when you two shine the floor... If Teyla not fired to you, it for nine months we have had a little John Jr. with beautiful, yellow eyes.
Sheppard gave him a grim look, but he still had a good time... like Dex, smiling to himself.
- I do not think the DNA of people and Wraith was so compatible, Rodney - Beckett said.
- You said yourself that her DNA is a better balance between the DNA of humans and Iratus.
But the doctor looked at him meaningfully and just shook his head, then glanced at the colonel.
- Do you remember anything? - Beckett said calmly.
- I've been waiting for Teyla. We had to practice together. Mo came... We started talking and... I do not remember - he said. - All I know is that I felt great... How... - he snapped his fingers - like when after retrovirus infection - he reminded himself.
- OK... I'll do some research, but I doubt that I may have found something - he said.
- Jennifer mentioned something about pheromones - Ronon said.
- That would explain a lot - said Carson.
McKay snapped his fingers.
- Her bag - he remembered. - She asked to bring her, that she get a blood sample from Mo.
- All right. You go, I will examine the colonel.
- Do not be. I'm all right - he said, rising to his feet. - You'd better help doctor Keller - he suggested.
- Well... Let me get my equipment - he said, heading into the room to take the case.
Then all four went to the level with cell.
Standing at the entrance to the room a two woman looked at them expectantly.
Sheppard opened the door.
- You better not to come in - suggested Jennifer. - I do not know how far can act her pheromones.
- All right, we'll wait here - Beckett said.
The woman nodded, and with Teyla stepped inside.
Female Wraith still lay unconscious on the floor... or at least she looked at this.
Emmagan picked up the gun and turned off the force field. The cell door slid open the side.
- Wait, I'll check if she is cheating - she said, and went cautiously as the first, aiming straight at Moonlight.
She nudged her leg. Wraith did not react. So Teyla nodded head on Keller.
She came over and crouched down, putting the suitcase on the floor. She opened her, reaching for the pneumatic syringe, when the Wraith suddenly grabbed her by the arm, springing up from the floor and growling menacingly.
John and Ronon sprang from their places.
Without thinking, Teyla shot. Power bolt wound round sitting Mo… But it not struck her to the ground.
She only let the doctor, and focusing her attention on attacking her woman.
So Emmagan fired again. Then female fallen.
- All right - provided Teyla, looking at the men. - Stand back... It would calm her again for a while.
- She was like a wild animal - Beckett said, stepping closer.
- I felt her anger... but not just because she is here - she said, frowning. - It seems to me, that she is more angry, because of what was happening to her.
- Let's see what it is - the doctor suggested, starting draw her blood. - Maybe we can do something about this.
- Jennifer have a theory, that it is a Todd misbehavior - Teyla said.
- It would not surprise me - said Sheppard.
- Woolsey would be furious - Beckett said. - Just today it was bound to happen.
- You croak it yesterday, doc - pointed out by John.
