Disclaimer: I don't own it.

Note: For those who wanted it, there will be a small fight Kolya and the lovable and yummy John.

Spoilers: I know I said up to season 2 originally I'll remind you again because there are major spoilers for 'The Defiant one' and 'The Gift'

AshkashRemember that line you were waiting for? (check chapter 10 review). Well you might be in luck. The prophecy is explained more in this chapter. Glad you liked Aiden's input; expect more of him in this chapter.
TubaPrincess: A few of my friends who have read bits of the story for me (they don't want Atlantis) have told me they feel a bit sorry for Kolya too. All we have to remember is that he is a jerk.
Hazeydream: Glad you liked the part with Aiden. I was actually a bit worried about that a first.


Elizabeth had done a lot in her time, some things that made her proud. Some things she was ashamed of.
What she was doing right now fell into the ashamed category,
She was allowing Kolya to push her firmly against a wall and kiss her, his lips dropping from her lips to her neck.
Her conscious was screaming at her to make the insanity stop. To tell Kolya he was a pathetic rat bastard who nobody would ever love especially her but her logic was telling her this was the only way to ensure Bree's safety.
And a small part of Elizabeth, the part which she tried to keep locked away was enjoying the sensation. Enjoying Kolya's lips making their way down her body, enjoying his hips pressed against hers so she could feel how much he wanted her.
That small part was Elizabeth Kolya and unknown to Elizabeth that small part was getting stronger, threatening to consume her.

Logic was screaming at Kolya telling him that this was insane, that Elizabeth had ulterior motives, but to feel her respond to him like she used too, it pushed away any doubt in his mind and he pushed her harder against the wall, hearing her moan as he did.
Little did Kolya know that his weakness for Elizabeth could be his downfall.


John and his team had a plan, all the needed was to put it into motion. John knew that Kolya had Elizabeth. He also knew Kolya wanted Bree.

There was a small window in the door that John had been kicking earlier. The small window had factored nicely into their plan.
John walked over to the door and began to bang on it.

"Jota, I know you can hear me. Open the door you lying, cheating bastard."

The small window opened and someone looked in. John could tell it was Jota.

"Finally. You know Jota; you should work on how you treat guests. The service is…kinda crap."

Jota hissed at him through the window.

"What do you want?"

John sighed as if in thought.

"Ideally to kick your ass for lying to us you piece of scum but you know if that's not possible I'd like to see Kolya."

"The great Commander Kolya had asked not to be disturbed"

He spoke as if in admiration of Kolya.

"Well tell the great commander Kolya that I have something of value to offer him."

Jota hissed again before closing the window.

When he was sure Jota had gone he turned to his team and spoke to them in a hushed tone.

"Okay guys, chances are guards will come in to get me and they'll come in armed. McKay…" He turned to his friend. "…I need to know you can do this right. You have to be convincing."

"You have my word John. I will not screw this up."

John knew how much Rodney loved both Elizabeth and Bree. He knew Rodney would do this to the best of his ability.
John nodded and smiled at his friend.


The door to Elizabeths' cell opened and Kolya quickly let Elizabeth off the wall.

A guard came into the room. If he noticed anything amiss, he didn't mention it

"Commander Kolya. Jota has informed me Major Sheppard wishes to speak with you."

Kolya looked at Elizabeth with suspicion. She didn't even need to look confused. She had no idea what John was up to. She just hoped he didn't get himself or his team hurt.

When the guard left, Kolya pressed his lips to Elizabeths' in a long passionate kiss.

"I will return soon."

Elizabeth watched Kolya leave the room. When she was sure Kolya was gone, she slid down the wall and buried her head in her hands. Her whole body was shaking with fear and betrayal. She felt as if she'd betrayed herself, her daughter and John. She pushed back her sobs and stood up.

She couldn't be weak now. John had a plan and she knew she somehow factored into it and she had to be there for him.


The door to the cell that held John and his team swung open. Ten armed guards walked into the room, their guns pointed on the team while Jota came in and grabbed John.

"You come with me"

As he began too drag John to the door, Rodney fell onto the floor and began to convulse.

"Dr McKay"

Teyla tried to go to Rodney but a guard stopped her. She turned to the guard.

"He needs help"

Jota nodded at two of the guards and they went over to McKay and bent down beside him.

John nodded to the rest of his team before quickly grabbing Jota by the neck and grabbing his gun. This gave Aiden and Bates the opportunity to overpower the four guards around them while John, who still had Jota by the neck quickly took out the guards by McKay and Teyla.

John then put the barrel of the gun on Jotas' head.

"Alright you smarmy bastard; where is Elizabeth?"

Jota struggled against John but his grip was too strong.

"I shall not betray the great Genii race. They will rid you from existence."

John tightened his grip.

"Don't make me kill you."

Jota began to hose under Johns' grip; he coughed and choked out.

"I will take you to her; I will take you to her."

John loosened his grip slightly.

"That's good, now, where is Kolya?"

Jota looked down.

"He is waiting for you in a nearby room. Down the corridor."

John pushed Jota over to Aiden.

"Make sure he takes you to Elizabeth. If she's hurt…"

Aiden cut him off.

"…I know sir"

John looked over at McKay, who was now stood up.

"Good job Rodney"

John headed out of the room and down the corridor while Aiden pushed Jota out of the cell followed by the team.


Elizabeth took a deep breath as the door to her cell opened. She prepared herself. She didn't know what John had done but she had a feeling Kolya would be pissed.

She slid down the wall and began to breathe heavily. She couldn't do it again.
She couldn't pretend she was in love with that bastard. She placed her head in her hands as she heard footsteps approaching her. She felt a hand touch her knee.

"Dr Weir? Elizabeth?"

Elizabeth lifted her head and looked into the kind brown eyes of Aiden Ford.

"Aiden?"

She sighed in relief and lent into Aidens' arms. Aiden held her tightly; the realism hit him that they could have come close to loosing her again. That Kolya could have done anything to her.

"Elizabeth are you hurt?"

Elizabeth shook her head and pulled herself gently from his arms. She smiled at him with thanks and looked around the room.

"Where's John?"


Kolya sat calmly on a chair in the middle of the dark damp room. He was curious about what Major Sheppard wanted to talk to him about but Kolya was determined to make the Major pay for trying to take his daughter from him. He'd heard from Jota that Major Sheppard seemed to have taken the role of father and Kolya was not happy about that. Bree had only one father and it would never be Sheppard.

Kolya stood as he heard the door open. He was expecting Jota to walk in with John but instead he saw John come in. Eyes blazing with anger and rage. A gun pointed straight at Kolyas' head. John walked further into the room, his aim never wavering.

"Don't move you bastard. Try anything and I'll put a bullet through your skull without a second thought"

John gestured the chair that Kolya had just left.

"Sit down"

Kolya gave John a death glare before sitting down. John moved over to Kolya slowly picking up a piece of robe. He intended to tie Kolya up and get the answers he wanted. He needed to know why Kolya wanted to harm his family. The people he loved.

As John reached Kolya, the gun was knocked out of his hand and he was thrown to the ground.
He quickly turned round and saw Kolya lunging over him. Thinking fast John quickly swung his legs and kicked Kolya's legs from underneath him.
Kolya fell to the floor with a loud thump.
John quickly retrieved a knife from his vest pocket and moved over to Kolya, placing the knife to his neck, nipping the skin causing a few drops of blood to fall from the wound. John started to press the knife into his soft fleshy skin. Just as he was about to finish it, end Kolya's worthless life, he felt his arm being pulled back.

John turned round and saw Elizabeth dragging his arm away, a begging look in her eyes.

"John let him go. You're not a murderer. Give the knife to me."

John closed his eyes and pulled the knife away from Kolya's neck. He handed the knife to Elizabeth and stood up.
Kolya began to rise to his feet when Elizabeth knocked him back down to the ground in a quick sweep placing the knife back to his neck.
Kolya was in a moment of shock but then it all fell into place; she used him, to gain his trust. The clever little vixen.

"You ever, ever come near me, my daughter or my people again I will kill you, I promise I will end you're pointless and worthless life. I don't care what you need my daughter for; I will never let you near her."

Tears pierced her eyes but she held her ground. John, who had recovered for his moment of shock grabbed Elizabeth and forced her to stand. Elizabeth stood up, her eyes still on Kolya and she immediately gave John the knife. She began to walk out of the room when Kolya's voice stopped her.

"One day, you'll discover her power; discover how important she is to the Genii race. One day Elizabeth, you will come to me for answers."

Aiden, who had been stood ay the doorway listening, who had seen the look on Elizabeths' face when he found her, who saw that look again on her face now decided he'd had enough. Nobody, especially Kolya, was going to put his friend through this.

He took out his handgun, walked over to Kolya ignoring the looks of confusion from the rest of his team and placed the barrel of his gun to Kolya's head.

"Tell me you son of a bitch, what is the Genii's interest in Bree?"

He pushed the gun to Kolya's temple so hard he was sure it would leave a bruise.

"It seems you have quite a following my dear."

Aiden pushed the gun harder onto Kolya's temple. Kolya, deciding he had nothing to loose, answered.

"Bree is prophesied, she was destined to be born. She shall rid the Genii of the Wraith. She shall be able to foretell Wraith attacks."

Elizabeth shook her head; she didn't understand what he meant. How Bree could sense the Wraith. She had no Wraith DNA in her unless…

"You have Wraith DNA"

Elizabeth said it in a quiet voice, as if to herself. Kolya simply nodded.

"You haven't guessed my dear? You were with us for months. Every Genii is part Wraith. I know the evil they have done and would love nothing more to destroy them for what they've done, for what they did to my ancestors. And that is why Bree is important."

Elizabeth choked back a sob when she heard his words. When she heard her daughter was part Wraith.
Kolya wasn't finished.

"It is not by chance we are the parents Elizabeth. It was all pre-determined centuries ago before the Wraith even began their silly genetic quest. It was always going to happen. My ancestors where the first to be experimented on that is why it was always going to be my child, my ancestors at the end where more Wraith then human and you, the reasoning is unknown but you must have power unknown to you. Can you sense when your people are in danger?"

Elizabeth didn't say anything she couldn't. She knew what he was talking about, she'd felt the power he spoke of, she felt when her people were in danger, before she even knew they were. She'd known that John, Rodney and two scientist were in danger on a mission before there was any indication.

Elizabeth looked sharply at Kolya. A look of achievement on his face. She closed her eyes, she couldn't deal with this, didn't want to deal with this. She walked over to him. She grabbed his radio that was laying on the ground.

"Inform your men that they are to allow us safe passage to the Stargate"

When he refused, Aiden dragged Kolya's head back by his hair.

"She won't ask again"

Kolya slowly nodded and Elizabeth held out the radio.

As Kolya informed his men of what had happened and that they were not to harm the Atlantis team, John observed Elizabeth.
She was broken, fragile, unsure of what to believe or do. He knew all she wanted was to go back and hold her daughter in her arms.
He saw the limp in her walk, the cut on her lip and the look in Kolya's eyes.
John, of course, expected the worst. Kolya had done that to her before, it wasn't surprising he'd do it again.

The anger in John began to rise and he tried hard to push it down. Everybody was angry at what had happened. John had never seen Aiden this angry, this viscous. A lot of people loved Elizabeth. A lot of people would give their lives to protect her, John included, but as he watched her he realised, she was there, she was standing strong. She didn't need a protector or a knight in shining armour. She could take care of herself. She was strong after everything she'd been through. She was her own saviour.
