A/N: Everyone wanted another chapter, well, here it is. Please enjoy, and don't forget to leave a review telling me what you thought. Thanks for all the reviews so far. Who would've known I could do two reviews in one story, and still keep it going this far.
"Do it again", Rodney told John, who was looking down at the paper in shock.
Glancing up, John shrugged, "But I don't even know how I did it in the first place."
Alexandria stepped closer to John, "Just think about giving it back to Rodney."
"But I could just get up and give it to him. It's not like he's at the other end of the room", John rolled his eyes.
The next thing they heard was a crash, and Doctor McKay was sliding down from the wall on the other side of the infirmary. Yanking the chain from around his neck, John started to run over to Rodney to see if he was alright, but Carson stopped him.
"I'll see to Rodney, you better go somewhere else to practice", Carson smiled, then stormed off to his least favorite patient.
Weir stood there, her arms crossed, and nodded for a moment, "O'Connor, take him down to one of the labs and work with him. This may be very helpful in defeating the Wraith."
"Yes ma'am", Alex replied immediately, taking John from his position and dragging him with her down to one of the labs a few levels down.
Being dragged along by an enthused scientist wasn't exactly the way John had planned to spend his time today. He didn't really like the fact that he didn't have a say in the matter. The truth was that the crystal scared him. He had never been able to move things with his mind before, and this was starting to unnerve him a bit.
But then again, Weir was right; perhaps this would be good in the fight against the Wraith. Perhaps if he could toss Rodney across the room, he could show the Wraith a thing or two. Now he couldn't wait until his next mission to try it out in the field.
"Right this way, Major", the woman smiled, tugging him through a doorway.
Putting the chain back around his neck, he waited for instructions of what she wanted him to do. Perhaps just move a chair...done. The desk in the corner could be straighter...done.
Placing her hands on her hips, the young scientist shook her head at him and walked towards him, "I didn't say to start yet. I was going to have you start small, and work your way up."
"Oh, I'm sorry if I have interfered in your scientific process at all", he said sarcastically, putting the things back the way they were.
"Rodney barely even made that thing glow. How come you can move so many things without even concentrating?" She asked aloud, wondering if he had the answer.
She took out a notepad from a nearby drawer and started scratching some notes down on it as he responded, "I don't know, I think maybe it's something in my genetics that makes the gene more accessible."
Shrugging, and leaned against a table casually, waiting to get this over with. He was all for scientific discovery, but this seemed to be taking a lot of his time. He didn't really like that very much.
"You know, we haven't even finished all the translations on this stone, so I suggest you only use it when you need to, you know, in emergencies. You can keep it in a pocket and put it on when you need it. I also think that you should start small and work your way up, if you know what I mean. I would like for you to work on some small things, seeing how far you can get them, and report back to me in the morning. Please only small things." She said, writing him a note that said 'think small'.
"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow then", he smiled leaving as quickly as he could.
This is going to be interesting. I think I'll just have to sleep on it though. I don't think it would hurt anything if I slept with it on. I mean, it's just a rock. What's the harm in it?
