AN: Here we go again!
Chapter 9
Out of the Dark
He could hear the voices more and more, recently. Sheppard, Ford, Teyla and Carson were almost always there, or at least their voices were. He finally knew what happened to him listening to Carson update his friends on his progress. Now he had to endure hours and hours of people nagging at him to wake up. He also knew more than he wanted to about Ford and his nurse girlfriend.
The thing that confused him the most was that he couldn't remember how he got into a coma. More and more kept coming back to him, but nothing that led him to a coma. He remembered being on a planet and his team being attacked. They seemed concentrated on getting me, but that's probably because I'm the weakest link at that sort of thing. After that, all he kept getting is flashes about caves and a cell. He really didn't want to even try to understand all of them, he knew it wouldn't be good at all.
He kept hearing someone, Sheppard, calling his name. Telling him it was time to wake up. Damnit Major, do you think it's really that easy! You're not the one who's been sitting in this damn black abyss. He knew he was being unfair, but he was frustrated. He barley noticed when everything around him slowly started to get brighter.
If Rodney was hardly alone before, he was really never alone now. Ever since Beckett had announced that Rodney was out of his coma and was just sleeping. It had been three days since that announcement, and Sheppard was feeling that Rodney was just being mean now. As if he was staying asleep on purpose.
"Alright fine, I know how to wake you up. Rodney, wake up. Rodney, wake up. Rodney, wake up. Rodney, wake up. McKay, Get your ass up. McKay, wake up. McKay, wake up. McKay, wake up now. McKay, either you wake up or I allow Kavangh free reign on all of the toys in your lab. Zelenka's been drooling over that phaser thing you've been messing with, he's kept his hands off it for a while, but you keep tempting him much longer…"
"Hasn't woke up yet then?" a Scottish accent came from behind him. Carson walked up and started checking Rodney over.
"No. How is it that he's been in a coma for three months and still done nothing but annoy the hell out of me?" Sheppard sighed and stared at his very still friend. Beckett laughed.
"He's just gifted in many ways. Don't worry too much. It'll be anytime now." He patted Sheppard on the shoulder and continued checking on Major Lorne's team who had an unfriendly encounter with an aboriginal tribe and came back poked full of arrows.
"Alright McKay," Sheppard takes back up his one sided conversation with the sleeping scientist. "This is getting ridiculous. Beckett's been saying 'anytime now' for the past three days. If you don't wake up soon, I'm going to be taking this personally. You better not think that you can get away with sleeping all day. And another thing-"
"Shu-…up…-ready" a voice for the bed croaked out.
AN2: And that would be in for now. Review, Review, REVIEW! And yes I know I'm being mean with going so slow.
