Secbeth, T'Karish: Here is Dr. Beckett, I hope you like it.
McKay glanced out of the doorway to Shepard's room, seeing no one in the ill-lit corridor, -it was nearing night, and the city's inner tunnels were always dimmed at night to give off the effect, unless an alarm was given- McKay grinned and stepped back inside. "You almost done? How long does it take to leak gas into a room? Its not like its quantum physics...although if it were I could do it and we would be done by now." McKay turned to Beckett impatiently.
"It's allot harder than you'd think Rodney. Anymore than a few-"
"Right right, he'll get brain damaged or, something...whatever."
"I still dinnae know how you got me doing this for ye. Why am I, again?
"Because I'm..." McKay didn't have to come up with an excuse; just then Weir's hushed voice came over the intercom.
"Rodney, Shepard just left the control room, if he finds you, there's no way I'm helping you out of this."
"Gee, thanks." McKay looked once more out into the corridor, looking back to make sure his...implement of doom, was in place, him and Beckett stepped out of the room. "You're sure that gas of yours is going to work, right? You'll mess up everything if it doesn't."
"Don't be getting your panties in a bundle, it'll work."
"Fine. You left the switch on, right? Please tell me you didn't forget the switch!"
"The intercom is on."
"Good work. Let's go." McKay and Beckett made it to the control room without Shepard seeing them anywhere remotely near his room. I'm a genius! "Is Shepard in his room?" McKay asked Weir.
"He walked in just a moment ago. Mumbled something about his comic books being out of place."
Beckett turned to McKay, "I told ye not to be touching those."
McKay scowled, "Whatever. I have to get to the lab." McKay strode out of the room.
"Are you actually supporting this doctor?" Asked Beckett.
"I think John should get a taste of his own medicine, that was pretty low what he did to McKay. Although I don't normally commend this sort of behavior, and won't in the future."
"But using this sort of hallucinogenic gas, I think that's a wee bit extreme."
"He's what! McKay's doing what! Nobody ever mentioned hallucinogen's to me."
"I wonder why?"
-
McKay's Lab:
Revenge is mine! McKay turned on his monitor and received a fuzzy screen, he tapped the top of it a few times and it came into focus. "Ah, here we are. You think you can get away with pulling one over on doctor McKay do you? Well, we'll see who's grinning in the halls after this Major."
-
Shepard straightened out his comics, putting them in the correct order. Yawning he reached for his book, War and Peace, even the thought of you makes me tired. He fell back, onto his bed and leaned himself against his pillow. He thumbed through, looking for the last place he had been, page eighteen. He had begun to read when he noticed the toggle for the intercom was switched on. He leaned over and switched it off. Now how did you get turned on?
-
McKay's Lab:
"Shoot! No matter, we shall soon remedy that." McKay said when he saw Sheppard go for the switch.
-
Control Room:
"Great, now we won't even be able to hear him if anything goes to far." Weir said.
"McKay's watching him in his lab, I would'na worry about it."
"I don't trust McKay though." She said as Ford and a few other young men entered to join the fun.
-
Shepard rubbed his red dry eyes. They were fine a moment ago, now they were dry, and he was very uncomfortable. He put his book down and rubbed his eyes again, and then he saw something, something odd out of the corner of his dry eyes. "Uh, hello there?" He said hesitantly.
There was movement again, Shepard forced his eyes to focus properly on the paper covering whatever it was that had moved on the floor. There was more movement, and the paper fell aside as an object unvieled itself...
POOKY!
"Ah! What the heck? Wha-?"
-
McKay's Lab:
McKay snickered. Ah yes! Whats the matter Shepard, don't recognize the bear you impersonated this morning? McKay turned the bear's head around and looked up at the toggle switch.
-
Shepard clamped his eyelids shut, Not happening not happening not happening. The gas began to take its effect on Shepard's senses, when he opened his eyes there was a red hazy border around his vision.
And there was the Teddy Bear...turning its head!
It began to move towards him slowly, by now all Shepard could see was the bear, he didn't notice as the thing climbed up and reached for the toggle switch.
"I'm dreaming!" He yelled, trying to wake himself up. "Woohoo! Wake up John, this isn't real!"
-
Control Room:
"Hear that? McKay must've switched the toggle. I'm going to go stop this." She cast Beckett an annoyed look, "Gases! I can't believe you men..." She trailed off, heading for Shepard's room.
-
The door whooshed open and Weir stepped in. Her eyes went wide at the scene before her.
Shepard was blindly bumping into things in an attempt to remove the bear off his personage, but didn't seem quite able to use his arms. The bear was holding fast to Shepard's head, not letting go. Weir froze for an instant, taking the scene in. She could hear McKay's voice making creepy noises coming from the bear.
"Weeeeeekekekekekkekeeeh!"
"Okay Rodney, that's enough now! And you can expect, to be seeing me soon!"
"What? I didn't do anything?" He answered in a muffeled voice through the bears speaker.
"We'll see." She turned to Shepard and removed the bear from atop his head and smiled despite the situation. "Shepard? Are you okay? ...Shepard!"
END...For good, this time. Tell me what you thought, was I too hard on Shepard? I think he's traumatized.
