Chapter Three
Adaria came to a few hours after being stunned and knocked out. She found herself lying on a bed in a bizarre room that she had never been in before. She sat up quickly and swung her legs over the side of the bed.
"Oh, you're awake," said Teyla as she walked away from the door.
Adaria quickly stood up and prepared herself for a fight. Teyla quickly held her hands up to show she meant no harm to the strange girl.
"Please, I'm not here to hurt you," she said trying to calm the girl.
"You had one of your men stun me and drag me to an unknown place. How the fuck do I know I can trust you?" Adaria hissed.
Teyla tried to explain to her that there had been a mistake. That her commander thought that she was trying to kill Teyla. Adaria didn't look like she believed her.
"Look, if I really meant you harm, I wouldn't have had our doctor treat some of those grotesque wounds you had," she pleaded.
Adaria's eyes flickered to her left arm that seemed to be bandaged up. She huffed and shifted her body out of her fighting stance.
"Why?" she asked looking back to Teyla.
Teyla looked a bit startled at the question. "Why what?"
"Why did you bring me here? Why not just leave me where I was? Why take care of my wounds?" She asked.
"You put your life at risk to save me and my friend. You go through all that trouble just to have my commander make a stupid mistake and knock you out. I couldn't just leave you there. You saved me. The least I could do was bring you back and make sure you were okay. I have too much honor to leave someone hurt after they'd helped me," replied Teyla in a stern voice.
Adaria frowned a bit, but took a seat back on the bed, still never taking her eyes off of Teyla. She wasn't about to make the mistake of trusting this stranger again.
"So where exactly am I?" Adaria asked in a suspicious tone while narrowing her eyes.
Teyla slowly glided over to where Adaria was sitting and leaned up against a wall near the bed.
"You're in Atlantis," she replied back.
"I don't know where that is."
"It's on earth."
Adaria huffed at not knowing about the planet and loathed the fact that she didn't know where she was. "So what exactly is this Atlantis place?"
Teyla explained how the people of earth found a secret base abandoned by the Ancients. How they had been the original builders of the Stargate. Teyla went on to explain that the Stargates are large ring-shaped devices created by the Ancients and scattered on Earth-like planets throughout the Milky Way and other galaxies as well. Stargates are used to open wormholes from one gate to another, allowing nearly instantaneous travel between them. She told her about the troubles they have with the wraith and how they feed on humans.
During the whole time Teyla explained everything, Adaria listened carefully with her eyebrows raised in interest.
"The wraith have been a big problem for a lot of people," Teyla said, "They destroy every planet they come across and look for humans to feed on."
"You don't need to explain to me how much of a problem they are," Adaria said a low voice. "They came to my planet for no reason and started a war with us. They managed to get their filthy hands on me. I had needles shoved in, a tracking device implanted underneath my skin, which I later managed to get take out but nearly died doing it. I know first hand how bad these little bastards are."
Teyla began to give her sympathy to the distressed warrior, but Adaria held up her hand, a sign for Teyla to stop talking.
"I don't need your pity," she hissed. "All I need is for you to take me back to my homeland."
"I don't think that will be possible," Teyla told her, "You said that you're from Atteria, right?"
"Yes," Adaria said not liking the sound of how things were going. "What do you mean you don't think it's possible? I'm damn well going to get back there, whether it means using brute force on you to take me there." Said growled while standing up.
"You don't understand," Teyla said trying to plead with her. "Atteria is a wasteland now. The… The wraith destroyed your planet…" She paused. "I'm sorry."
Adaria looked at her in pure disgust. She wasn't about to take the word of a stranger telling her that her home was destroyed. She just wasn't going to believe it.
"You're lying," she hissed. "You're fucking lying."
Her heart sped up. There's no way her planet could be destroyed. She had to be lying.
Teyla shook her head and started to walk out of the room. Before she did, she turned around.
"I truly am sorry," she whispered.
With that being said, she strolled out of the room and locked the door behind her. She couldn't trust the girl in this state. She feared she might try to escape and kill anyone who stood in her way. Teyla would wait 'til she cooled down before going back in and trying to talk with her.
"So?" Sheppard asked as Teyla walked into the room where Rodney and Ronon were in. "How did it go?"
"Not good," she sighed. "She didn't believe me when I told her about her planet. I didn't even get to the part about asking her to stay here and join the team."
"Of course she didn't believe you about Atteria being destroyed," Ronon said. "You have no proof, and the word of someone she doesn't know isn't going to convince her."
Sheppard turned his head to Ronon and asked, "You said you knew her, right?"
"Sort of," he replied. "I don't know her first hand. She joined our planet's army when news broke out about the wraith."
-Flash Back-
There was a lot of commotion going at the base. Soldiers were running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Most of them darted off in the direction where an enormous group of people standing around something.
Curiosity getting the best of Ronon, he sprinted in the direction he saw the other guys running to.
"What's going on," he asked Doyle who sprinted up next to him.
"I hear some chick just joined the army!" he said, "Can you believe it? Some female made it past the tests to get in here. From what I'm hearing, she one of the best fighters here!"
Ronon raised his eyebrows at this. 'This should be interesting,' he thought.
He slowed down and pushed his way up to the front to see a scene escalating into something that would probably turn violent.
Three soldiers were standing a few feet away from the new girl.
"Is this really necessary?" The girl inquired with a hint of amusement in her eyes.
"I'm not about to let some damn female into the army," growled one of the soldiers.
"Yeah," yelled the second one, "We'll show the commander that you don't belong here!"
Shaking her head and letting a smile slip on her face, she put herself into a fighting stance and signaled the three men to come and attack her.
The three charged at her and she grabbed the closest one near her. She grabbed the collar of his shirt with her right hand and grabbed his belt with her left. Using his own momentum, she spun her self around and threw him over her.
She then spun around in time to elbow the second guy right in the nose, breaking it in the process. Crimson liquid gashed out everywhere. She then kneed him in the stomach and shoved him to the ground.
The third guy had enough time to grab her throat and slam her violently onto the ground. She curled her hand into a fist and punched him right in the diaphragms. He let go of her throat and tried to re-gain his breath. She curled her left fist and hit him right in his left eye. She threw him off her and stood up quickly.
The first guy managed to get up and started to swing at her. She glided and avoided each of his punches and hit him right where his jaw was connected to his head. The impact forced his jaw to shatter. He slammed into to the ground holding his now dislocated jaw.
All three slowly backed down and retreated away, shoving their way through the crowd. Half the crowd laughed at the fleeting men and the other half hollered in excitement.
The commander who had let her join was standing in the crowd. He had a smirk on his face after seeing the show. He knew she could fight, but never thought that she could fight like that. He made the right choice in letting her join. Tough girl, that one.
He stepped forward and yelled at the men to departure.
"The show is over you grunts!" he yelled at the men.
The crowd started to deteriorate and head back in the direction of their quarters.
'Impressive,' Ronon thought. 'I don't think I've ever seen a woman fight like that.'
He followed his friend Doyle up to the girl who looked like she heading back to her own quarters as well.
"I knew that the kitten had claws, but damn, I didn't know that she had fangs too!" he teased the girl.
The girl spun around with a scorn on her face. But when she saw who had teased her, she quickly smiled with a tiny twinkle was in her eyes.
"You've seen me fight before Doyle," she replied back with a Cheshire cat grin. "You've seen me take on more men than that."
'Hmm,' Ronon thought, 'seems like those two are friends'.
"Some of the guys didn't like the fact that a woman joined." Ronon said to Sheppard. "Some of them even challenged her to a fight to show the others that she didn't belong there." Ronon smirked. "She beat all of the people who challenged her."
"Well, she's got a military background. That's good," Sheppard replied.
"I take it that it was very uncommon for a woman to know how to fight like that?" Teyla asked Ronon.
"Yes. Until her, it was pretty much unheard of. From what I saw, she's a good fighter."
He got up from the table he'd been sitting on and headed out the door. He figured he should go tell the warrior that their planet had been destroyed. He might be the only person she would believe. But he knew it wasn't going to be a fun conversation.
Ronon walked down the hallway in the direction where Adaria was being held. He reached the door and punched in the code to unlock it. The door opened and he stepped inside. He looked around, but the girl didn't seem to be there. Before he could walk in any farther and close the door behind him, a fist flew at him from the left.
Startled, he snapped his head back, grabbed at the arm and threw the person to the ground a few feet away. He quickly stepped forward and closed the door behind him.
"Nice try," he said, "but I'm not that easy to trick."
Adaria pushed herself off the ground and growled slightly at him. She stood completely up and took a fighting stance. She wanted out of this room. She felt like a caged animal.
"Please," Ronon said raising his hands, "don't make this any harder then it needs to be."
Adaria stayed in the position she was in, waiting for a chance to knock this guy out.
'Damnit,' Ronon thought, 'I have to think of something that will make her trust me slightly'.
An idea popped in his head.
"Doyle used to call you 'kitten' to get a rise out of you," he said.
Adaria looked shocked. 'He knows Doyle', she thought. Calming herself down, she rested her hands down by her side, walked over to the bed, and sat down.
"How did you know Doyle?" she asked.
Ronon walked near her and crouched down in front of her a few feet away.
"He and I were friends in the army," he replied.
Adaria eyes widen a bit. "Then you're from Atteria," She said with a sparkle in her eyes.
Ronon nodded.
"Then that other girl was lying. Atteria can't be gone. I mean, you're here. So we must have won the war," she said with a bit of hope in her voice.
Ronon's expression fell a bit as he frowned.
"What?" Adaria said, not liking the look on his face.
"Atteria's gone," Ronon whispered, not wanting to say the words out loud. "The only reason why I made it off the planet alive is because the wraith captured me. As I believe they did with you." He said meeting her eyes.
Any hope that had been held in her eyes vanished. Shocked replaced her hope, and soon anger would take over her shock.
"No," she said, not wanting to believe what he said. "Atteria can't be gone. My home can't be destroyed," she said trying to convince herself more than Ronon could.
"Atteria's gone." Ronon said. "You can say 'no' all you want, but it's not going to change the truth."
Adaria tried to control her breathing. She let her anger take over, but it wouldn't last long. She counted on her anger to keep her strong, but after hearing the news about her home, not even her anger could cover her sorrow.
"Get out," she growled at Ronon.
Ronon was about to say something, but she yelled at him again to get out before he could get a word out.
"Did you not hear me!" she yelled at him. "I told you to get the hell out of here and away from me!" she screamed.
She wouldn't let him see her cry. She wanted him out before did.
Ronon saw what she was trying to do so he got up and left. He would leave her to mourn without the embarrassment of someone watching. It was the least he could do.
Adaria saw him close the door behind him. She still tried her best to fight off her tears. It would be a failing battle. She felt her eyes sting and hot tears run down her cheeks. She pulled her knees up to her chest, rested her elbows against her knees, and rested her forehead in her hands. She cried without a word, letting the hot tears run down her cheeks.
The first time in over a year, she cried at the knowledge of knowing her loved ones were most likely dead.
