I seem to be on roll with stories this week. Could come from having my Dad's old laptop in my room. Anyway, this is the prolgue, so it might not make much sense yet, but it will. There are spoilers for all of Season 2, and anything Iinvented myself beyond that.The rating on this may also go up, depends how mean I feel to...well you'll see who.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the storyline and the odd character.

Prisoner of war

Chapter 1:Prologue

"Sir, incoming wormhole."

"Are we receiving an IDC?"

"Yes, it's Sheppard's team."

"Lower the shield."

Colonel Caldwell walked across to the edge of the control centre to look down on the Gate. All of a sudden, the members of Sheppard's team fell through the Gate. Sheppard was quickly on his feet yelling.

"Raise the shield. Raise the shield!"

There was a sudden flash of blue light, hitting Sheppard squarely in the back. He slumped down to the floor, just as the shield came up.

Caldwell moved across and began to run down the stairs.

"Medical team to the Gate. Medical to the Gate."

The voice echoed around the control centre and the rest of Atlantis. Caldwell was soon stood surveying the team. Both Sheppard and Ronon were lying on the floor, with McKay and Teyla tending to them.

"What the hell happened?"

"It was a trap."

Caldwell looked across at McKay as he stood up to face him.

"What?"

"It was a trap, the Genii turned up. They shot at us. Ronon was hit off-world."

"Why? The Genii usually kill everyone."

"They wanted some of us to get back, to announce Atlantis' loss"

Caldwell looked at the team again.

"No."

McKay nodded his head slowly.

On the other side of the galaxy, her eyes slowly opened. As they adjusted to the gloom, she began to realise where she was. She tried to move, but she quickly realised her hands were tied behind her. She was sat on a chair, and her legs had been tied to the chair. Looking around the little cell, she wondered whether she should yell.

But she knew it was pointless.

She let out a little cry of sadness at her predicament.

In response, the door in front of her opened. Looking up, she froze as she recognised the figure.

"Hello again Doctor Weir."

She let out a little gasp.

"Koyla."
