Chapter Seven

"Hey Nebula" Rodney said as she passed him in the hall.

"Rodie what do you want?" she questioned him with a smile as he fell in step with her.

"Nothing for once." he said as he looked over at her" I just wanted to see how you were."

"You mean considering the fact that my sister hates me because of a stupid bow that allowed me free access into her private thoughts." she paused and took a deep breath" I'm fine and yourself?"

"She doesn't hate you." he reassured her" She's just upset."

"So, everyone keeps telling me." she snapped softly" You know I get that she was attacked by the wraith. I get that she lives with the fear that they'll back for her everyday. Ronon was used as some sport for the wraith and he doesn't let it bother him."

"Um, hello." Rodney said resisting the urge to slap her head" The man hates the wraith more than we do. He has not had any contact with anyone except your sister for seven years because he feared the wraith would kill them."

"I know." she swallowed then let out a heavy sigh" I just miss my sister. She use to be the one that ran into things without thinking. Her spirit was what attracted people to her the most. Because of the wraith she's like this shy person I don't even know anymore."

"Get over yourself Nebula." Rodney said hearing the self pity in her voice and not liking it." Your sister was held captive by the wraith god knows what they did to her so allow her some room for being scared."

"You've never taken that tone of voice with me before." she said calmly

"Well, the situation called for it" he said to her as they stopped and faced each other

"Wow, that was kind of hot how you just told me off without backing down." she playful flirted with him

"Um, okay you're just being crazy now." he said as he started to walk off.

"Rodney it's okay to find me sexy you know." she shouted out to him as he walked through a door leading to the gate room. She stood at the top of the stairs as he continued to walk down them

"I hear Dr. Heightmeyer can do wonders on people like you." he said as he came to a stop with her close behind him.

"I don't need a doctor." she was loving the fact that he was squirming.

"I think you do." he said as he walked off form her.

She stood there starring at what she thought was a hallucination or a figment of her overactive imagination.

"Hey Nebula it's been too long." Cameron Mitchell stood not two feet from her.

"Yes, it has." she said her voice sounding so small

"You look great." he said as his eyes flickered over to where Serenity had been standing to find her gone. Great nice going Mitchell. Ignore one sister because the other one walks in. He chided his self.

"You should go after her." Nebula said softly knowing that he needed to talk to her sister, but then again he was the man she loved. Right? Her thoughts went to her and John and the last night they had together before he came here.

Flash Back

"You're going to spoil me you know that right?" she purred to John as he kissed her neck and shoulders.

"I don't want you to wait for me." He kissed her lips deeply drinking the sweetness that was her

"You have my heart John how can I not wait for you." she said as she wiggled against him dragging a groan from deep inside his throat.

"You need to move on with your life." he said as he kissed her neck biting the softness on the sides.

"Yeah, and you're really convincing me doing this." she said as her hands traveled down to the waist line of his pants.

"You know I may not come back ever." he said

"You better, you have my heart." she said softly

End Of Flash Back

"No, I don't think he should I'll go find her." John said feeling the need to get away from them before he hit Cameron for how he was the one that Nebula chose to forget him for.

Nebula watched as John went after Serenity and felt a pang deep inside her. Why do I always have to share the same men as my sister? She questioned her self as looked back to Cameron

"We need to get you all settled in before I give you a quick overview of things around here." Col. Caldwell said interrupteing the couple.

"Sure thing." Cameron said as he reluctantly left Nebula.

Nebula let out a heavy breath as she turned to go to the gym. She needed to spare or something right now she was frustrated.

When the doors opened she saw Ronon practicing by his self. He stopped when he saw her.

"Sorry I didn't know anyone else was here." she said as she turned around to leave, but his voice stopped her

"You look like you need to fight something." he said as he threw her some sticks.

She caught them before they had a chance to hit her face. She tossed him a curious look.

"You want me to fight with you?" she asked in disbelief

"Don't worry I'll be gentle." he said smugly

"Don't be gentle with me. I can take it" she demanded

They sparred for what seemed like hours. She deflected Ronon's blows one by one, but he managed to get some good hits in before he knocked her down to the ground. She kicked him off of her and bounced back up on her feet. They fought hand to hand combat which ended with Ronon pinning Nebula to the ground. She was breathing hard and sweating.

"Okay I give." she said as she lay on the ground panting.

"Go talk to your sister instead of fighting with me." he said simply as he walked out leaving her laying on the ground

She laughed out loud once she was alone. He thinks I'm pissed off because of my sister. Damn men really had no clue when it came to women. He was right though she needed to talk to Serenity. Things needed to be said and dealt with. She sighed deeply as she got up to her feet a sudden wave of dizziness hit her and she blacked out. There she lay alone and unconscious on the ground.
