Inferno

"She's cute."

Teyla looked behind her at Rodney and John sitting at a table with the visiting scientist from Taranis. She smiled and looked back at Helena. "She is attractive. And apparently is the unenviable position of fitting both John's and Rodney's tastes."

Helena was grinning with a mischievous gleam in her eye. "I can see that. Who is she?"

"Doctor Norina Pero."

"Blonde, tall, leggy, gorgeous…yep, right up John's alley. Add the smarts and" she sighed. "Rodney's putty. Has she shown any preferences?"

Teyla grinned. "What are you thinking, Helena?"

Helena's eyes widened. "What? I'm talking about food preferences."

Teyla's eyebrow rose and she continued to look at Helena. After a moment, Helena looked back and found Teyla watching her.

"What?"

The second eyebrow joined the first.

Helena rolled her eyes. "Okay, fine. I was just thinking how unusual it is that both our boys are attracted to the same woman and I wouldn't want one of them to get hurt if she has decided in favor of the other."

Teyla looked like she didn't believe what Helena said.

Helena threw her hands in the air. "Fine. I'll stay out of it. I'm just going to go…make something."

Teyla smiled. "Whatever the attraction, I fear it to be rather short-lived," Teyla followed her into the kitchen. "With the Wraith on their way, Rodney and John will be going to work on the Orion soon and Dr. Pero will be joining her people to adjust to their new home."

Helena shook her head. "Well," she sighed. "Typically, the Wraith have to ruin everything."

Teyla nodded, frowning.

Helena's evil grin reappeared, however. "I just hope one or both of them get some before she leaves."

Teyla frowned. "'Get some'?"

Helena wiggled her eyebrows and whistled.

Teyla's jaw dropped, her eyes widened and she exclaimed. "Helena!"

Helena laughed. "Hey, I'm just thinking about their mental health. It's not good for them to be all pent up…"

Teyla shook her head. "You are awful."

The other woman grinned. "I know." Helena rubbed her chin. "What do I have around here that works as an aphrodisiac? There's chocolate…"

Teyla shook her head again. "I'm going to leave you alone to your scheming."

Helena waved, absent-mindedly heading toward the pantry.
