Thanks to Angel of fire Sg-1, for writing another crossover so I'm not alone.
WEIR AND SHEPPARD 4 EVA!
Anywayz, on with the story;
"I'm to young to die. I'm to young to die." Rodney McKay whispered to himself, pacing the control room and flinching at the sounds of gunfire and screams from the surface.
Ignoring the deeply annoyed looks from the surrounding people, McKay focused on his feet, as they circled the control room.
"McKay!" Shouted Carter from the seat he had almost knocked into.
"Sorry." He whispered, quickly sitting in his seat, and tapping his pencil annoyingly against the desk top.
"Rodney!" Snapped Weir, who was talking to Grodin about power supplies.
McKay stopped his tapping automatically, whispering a small 'sorry' before burying his head in paper work. Sam frowned whenever she heard a small, quiet 'I'm to young to die' come from his direction.
Weir winced, every time she heard the sound of screams from the floors above, the sound of the Wraith's weapons sent shivers up her spine, and she couldn't help but feel a small nagging feeling in her heart whenever Sheppard was fighting on the top decks.
"Doctor Weir!" Came a shout from the nearest door. Everyone turned to see Sheppard speed into the control room, his vest torn, and he was holding his left arm.
"We lost sections 35 and 38. The Wraith have breached the outer shield and are attacking the outer walls."
Weir hissed, as the Colonel came and stood at her side.
"They want me right?" Sam said bravely. Truthfully, she was terrified, but her mind was set on what she was about to do.
Weir nodded, a curious gleam shining in her eyes.
"Well. I'll go out there. Let them have me. It gives you guys time to dial the gate and get you all outta here."
Sheppard opened his mouth in surprise.
"No way Colonel." Weir said stubbornly. "Your way to valuable. To the SGC and otherwise."
Sam sighed.
"Fine. I'm going to see McKay."
Weir nodded absently, turning back to Sheppard.
As Sam walked from the room, she smiled grimly at her luck. Weir hadn't even noticed McKay asleep at one of the desks.
Now it was her job to save Atlantis.
"Doctor." Sheppard said, staring at something over Weir's shoulder and interrupting their conversation.
"What?" She asked as she turned to see what John was staring at, mouth open.
"Oh my god." She whispered, seeing McKay slumped at the desk. "He was here all along...."
Suddenly Sheppard's radio spluttered to life.
"Major Sheppard?"
"Yes?" He asked, bringing it to his mouth.
"Is Colonel Carter supposed to be standing on the balcony on one of the high towers yelling to the wraith?"
"No!" Weir hissed.
"Sir! The Wraith just used their beams and picked her up!" The voice said frantically, "Oh jeez! They're retreating! The ships...They're leaving!"
Sheppard looked grimly at Weir.
What had she done??
Sam stared around the small room she had been beamed up to with mild interest. Expecting to be eaten anytime now, Sam felt she had done the right thing, even if it did lead to her death.
"Hello....." Hissed a voice from a dark corner Sam didn't examine.
The figure stood into the light.
It was the woman. The vampire.
"Looks like you like me eh?" She said, trying to dispel the nerves from her stomach.
"Why.. did.. you... come..." It asked.
Sam shivered at the iciness of her tone.
"I wanted you to spare the people at Atlantis."
The woman shook her head.
"It is this.... That makes you.... A poor warrior..."
"I don't think so." Sam snapped, glaring the monster in the eye.
The monster shook her head.
"You would save....those people...even though you do not live there....?"
"How did you know that?" Sam frowned.
"I...have my sources....i can track the mineral in your blood....it is what makes you flavorsome.....never before have I felt the presence like in you....i could feel you enter the galaxy.....although back then...., I didn't know what it was...."
Sam shivered. She compromised Atlantis without knowing. The attack, the deaths, were all her fault.
"Now..." Said the vampire slowly. "I will feast...."
Sam nodded, bile gathering in her throat.
Fear pumped through her veins, but Sam hid it behind an emotionless mask. She was doing this for Atlantis. For the innocent people, in Atlantis.
For the children.
As the monster came forward, she placed her hand on Sam's chest again. Once more she felt the sharp pain, and the draining feeling....
If only she had seen Jack one more time...
Hell she would have been happy to even see McKay.
But her time was dwindling down, her very essence being eaten away.
Sam was going to die bravely, saving innocent peoples lives. It was the way she had always wanted to go.
Sam didn't even notice the pain had gone.
"Sam?" A voice said, interrupting her thoughts. "It's me, Orlin. I've come to save you from the Wraith."
Orlin, the ascended being, gathered Sam in his glowing white arms.
Who cares if he broke a few rules. He was saving Sam from becoming what he was, and that was all the mattered.
With a final glance at the woman wraith, a giant sizzling whole in her stomach, Orlin flew Sam toward Atlantis.
Till next chapter, Review and tell me your thoughts!!!!
Thanks!
