A/N: Oh snap. What's going to happen? IT. JUST. GOT. SERIOUS!

Lady: I figured it would be a good time to bring Evans in lol

Mujona: Yes lol, not cool for Selena at all! Reid's coming back soon, my dear, don't you fret! Selena's definitely got a lot on her plate..

But I will go down with this ship

And I won't put my hands up in surrender

There will be no white flag above my door

Dido - White Flag

"There is going to be a big breakfast for the soldiers?" Selena said with excitement. They were switching soldiers out on the Daedalus, which was exciting with the exception of Captain Evans. "Man, I hope there's bacon."

"If it's a big breakfast, then yes," Sheppard replied with a chuckle. "There will be bacon."

Ronon looked at her quizzically as they walked down the corridors.

"Bacon is one of Earth's greatest delicacies...it's up there with chocolate," Selena explained. "Seriously, tomorrow, try some bacon. It's meat."

"You don't look like you eat enough of it," he told her critically. She smiled wryly.

"If I really go at it on a mat, you'd see how I work it off," she replied easily. She rounded the corner and saw Evans speaking to Reid.

"Why is it that you and Evans don't get along?" Sheppard asked her, watching Selena's eyes tighten and her body stiffen.

"We were roommates when I was taking the Major's exam. Let's just say we didn't hit it off immediately and I'm pretty sure she hates me," she responded with a shrug. Her irritation rose when she saw Brandi chatting animatedly with the other woman.

"I don't see how anyone or anything could hate you. That'd be like hating puppies...or butterflies," Sheppard commented. Selena let out a laugh as she tightened the cap on her head.

"So, I'm harmless, basically?" she surmised with an arch of her eyebrow.

"You look harmless, but you're definitely a little fireball, Sunshine," he told her. She had never ceased to laugh at her nicknames. They made her seem so...delicate. Sunshine, Tinkerbell, and now with her appearance the equivalent of a puppy or a butterfly, it was humorous.

"That's true, I did show you up in sparring this morning," she replied.

It felt good to fire off a few rounds into a target as Selena poised her M-16. The bullets burned the paper as she continued to fire. The soldiers next to them were trying to construct and test a safe bomb on the other side of the wall. She didn't know how safe the bomb was, but testing it wasn't her department. Right now, her main focus was the weight of the gun in her small hands as she emptied her frustrations in bullets.

"Everybody hit the deck!" a warning cried from the other side of the wall. A few clicks later, the sound of an explosion filled the air.

Selena could barely move as she tried to feebly lift her head. The bomb testing had clearly gone horribly awry, blowing up the wall where soldiers practicing their shooting had resided on the other side. She knew soldiers were hurt and she knew she had to try to help them.

"Selena, this is Dr. Weir," Weir's warbled voice came through her comm. "What happened?"

With shaking hands, she pressed the talk button on the radio.

"I think a bomb just went off."

"Selena, this is Carson. Can you tell me how many are moving?" Carson asked her. Selena tried to lift her head, but a stabbing pain shot through her entire body as her head dropped back onto the ground.

"I can barely move," she replied honestly, her voice hoarse from breathing in the debris. Her entire body was in an insurmountable amount of pain from her head to her ankle.

"Can you lift your head or feel your legs?" Carson asked, his voice in a panic.

"I can feel my legs, but my head hurts too bad to lift," Selena answered. She let out a cough and struggled to get to her feet, having landed on her back.

"We're on our way, just keep calm," he told her. She could feel a stabbing pain in her leg as she limped over to check on the others. There was a piercing sort of agony in her side, her head weighing the equivalent of a cement truck.

"Major Fuentes, you're injured," Evans said, holding her up. Selena leaned against the other soldier as she rested her hand against her side. "There's shrapnel in your side."

"I'll take care of it once the medical team gets here," she replied.

"We need surgeons prepped now!" Carson commanded once they pushed the gurneys through the corridor. He had a young marine on one gurney, Dr. Cole pushing Selena on another.

"Stay with me, Major Fuentes!" she urged the soldier. "C'mon, keep your eyes open!"

"There's shrapnel in her side, possibly more in her chest. Major Fuentes and Sanchez are the most injured, they were probably closest to the blast," Carson replied as he checked her vitals. Selena was slipping fast, Captain Evans had tried to keep her awake. According to her words, the petite soldier had been coherent for about a minute after getting off of the communicator. "I'm going to need trauma surgeons to meet us there."
