The CIA saw Rodney McKay's potential even as a boy of fifteen. They have contacted him now with a warning. Can he endure the pain of his past and how will his friends react.

Description: Tag for the Defiant One, picking up at the same point where the actual episode endsi.e. HUGE spoilers. What if Brendan Gall was right? What if people really would talk…?

McKay and Beckett are trapped off world and waiting for rescue.

Beckett POV before, during, and after Letters From Pegasus, with a little added twist. Sheppard-McKay friendship. One-shot (complete)

SGA finds a natural threat. Those with an aversion to bugs should be warned. Thanks to Sheppardster for a late beta! All other mistakes are mine, and there are a few.
