New storyin some ways it's simmilar to my other SGA fic, but hopefully you all will like it.
I do not own anything that has to do with Stargate Atlantis at all.
McKay looked over Weir's contemplative face as he laid there. She looked as if the world had dragged her through Hell and back. He could clearly see the tear tracks she had so desperately tried to hide. He struggled to say something to her, but the words wouldn't come out. Her attention snapped back and she looked surprised at him before her gaze quickly softened. "Oh Rodney, you have no idea how good it is to see you awake." He offered her a smile as unshed tears shimmered in her eyes. He had to think for a moment, before he could remember what had happened.
"Elizabeth?" He forced out as best he could, "How is John?"…
"Come on John," Rodney bugged him, "Elizabeth said she wanted us to go back to the planet to recover the Ancients' tablets. Who knows what we could find out about them. You said you wanted to go back there."
"I do want to go back, I've just been busy lately," Sheppard said back feigning irritation, "you know some of us actually have assigned work to do. We can't all just play on our computers all day." Sheppard didn't mean anything by what he had said but McKay seemed to take offence to it.
"You know if it wasn't for me nothing would work around here." Sheppard knew this was true but still continued to mess with his friend.
"Oh on the contrary, I believe that if it wasn't for you, the things around here would work much better." He laughed and McKay had to crack a smile realizing his friend was just joking around.
"You know going to search for the tablets would be more fun then sitting in your office doing officer evaluations." Sheppard cringed, he knew McKay was right.
"Yeah, Yeah, alright give me an hour to at least get caught up with my reports and then we'll go check in with Weir. McKay looked satisfied.
An hour and a half later Sheppard had everything cleared with Weir. Soon after he meant McKay at the puddle jumper and they were prepped to go. They had a good four hours to bring back and translate as much as they could of the Ancients tablets they had found. The plant they were on had been deserted, according to Teyla, however, that wasn't always the case. They were one of the first planets gone to the Wraith from what was recorded in her people's history. Sheppard had asked if she had wanted to go with them but Weir had her assigned to go with Ronon to the mainland.
"Finally," McKay said as Sheppard stated up the puddle jumper. They went though the gate and the planet came in to view. "It's looking cloudy over our landing site."
"No problem, piece of cake." Sheppard took the jumper down toward the planet but McKay was watching the clouds.
"This doesn't look good."
"Trust me I can do this." He proceeded downward and stated though the storm. But the ride got turbulent. "What the… Shit this isn't a normal storm. Rodney sit down and buckle up." The ride got even rougher and McKay looked as if he were about to loose his lunch. He looked at Sheppard whose brow was furrowed in concentration. He was doing everything possible to steer though the storm. A sharp jolt came and he heard the controls sizzle. "Damn it, we've been hit by lightning and we've lost power," Sheppard cried. He tried to glide it down as gently as possible but the jumper fell like a rock with out any throttle. McKay watched as the ground came closer and closer towards them. "Rodney I want you to brace your self now." Sheppard had finally gotten the jumper parallel to the ground as they hit. McKay felt them bounce once before everything went black.
