A/N:Spoilers for season 1 and season 2.

"This serene feeling...

Tell me, what's the word people use for it?"

Company

John awakes groggily eyes wandering around, but only seeing four large blurs. After blinking a bit, he makes out Dr Weir, Ford, McKay, and Teyla all standing by his bed.

"Hey." Weir says softly.

"What happened?" he asks sitting up on his bed.

"Well, ye took a nasty bump on the head, Major." Beckett says walking into the room with a hand full of papers.

"Not to mention that bullet in your gut sir." Ford says.

"Wonderful." he says sarcastically.

"Major Sheppard, how are you feeling?" Teyla asks.

"I feel like a truck ran me over." John says his head leaning back on the pillows. The others make an 'ooh, that's got to hurt' face while Teyla has a confused look on hers.

"What is a truck?"

"I'll explain it later, Teyla." Ford assures her they all walk towards the door.

"Feel better sir."

"Yes Major Sheppard, feel better soon." and Teyla and Ford leave the infirmary.

"I know now's not the time to…" Weir starts but is cut off by John, "Just say it Elizabeth." he says tiredly.

"Well, I want to know what made Kolya so angry at you."

"Well, for starters, I killed 35 of his people, I shot him in the shoulder, and threatened to kill him twice. I'd be pretty…"

"No, besides that." she says cutting him off as well. John shrugs. "I don't know, we haven't ran into the Genii in a while. Why do you ask?"

She just shakes her head. "I'm just worried that…" John looks at her intently.

"I'm just worried about what he said to you."

"Teyla told you?"

"Yup."

"Should have guessed. Don't worry too much, I'll be fine." he says as he throws her a reassuring smile.

They sit in silence for a while then Weir gets up. "I should be going now. Feel better John." she says softly caressing his shoulder lightly and heads out of the room. After watching her leave, he closes his eyes and drifts off into sleep.

"Kolya!" Cowen says very angrily

"Yes sir?" he says standing in front of his desk.

"Did I not instruct that Major Sheppard be brought here immediately!" He scowls.

"Yes you did sir but,"

"Then why is he not here in one of the holding cells!" he pounds his fists on his desk making Kolya flinch slightly.

"The wraith arrived sir, we had to leave immediately."

"Then why didn't you grab him?"

"Because sir, they would have called for reinforcements."

"We out rank them in numbers, do we not?"

"No sir, they have had people come through the gate and ship from their galaxy when the wraith attacked Atlantis."

Cowen runs his hand through his hair and sighs heavily. "Does she know where they are headed to next?"

John opens his eyes finding himself on the balcony in his room. He turns around and sees a little girl standing next to him as he gazes out at Atlantis. "Hello." she says smiling to him.

He looks down at her and smiles and greets her as well. "Hey, I'm John what's your name?"

"Maura."

"That's a nice name. What does it mean?"

"Mystery. What does John mean?"

"Umm… I really don't know, another way to say Johnathan?" he says unsure. The child giggles slightly and looks out on the balcony as the sun sets.

"You're not one of the Athosians are you?" he asks. She shakes her head. "One of the Kilosians?"

"No, I…" she looks at him and starts but then looks behind him and sees the slender figure standing behind him. He looks at her strangely turning around and seeing nothing then looking straight and does not Maura anymore. He looks around then turns around this time, seeing the figure.

"I love it out here. It's so peaceful." she says smiling leaning forward on the rail of the balcony. He looks as her long black hair brushes lightly against her clear bronze skin, while the sun reflects light off the white jewel in the center her white gold circled locket.

"Who are you?"
