Chapter 3:The truth

As they stood in the control centre, everyone was silent.

"They got her?"

"Well, they got her body at least."

Caldwell took a step back from the scene. Elizabeth Weir was Atlantis' leader. She was also their diplomat. Without her, Atlantis had a problem.

With Sheppard and Ronon down as well, Atlantis had a serious problem.

"They're not dead."

"What?"

Rodney spun around to look at Teyla. She was kneeling next to Ronon, fingers at his neck.

"He has a pulse, the bolts were just stuns."

"That was the only weapon any of those men had though."

As realisation hit, Rodney began to feel physically sick.

"Then that means…"

Teyla looked up at him.

"The Genii have Doctor Weir."


"Where are the rest of my team?"

"Hopefully back on Atlantis telling everyone you're dead. Up until the point that they realise those guns are just stunners. Then they have to face the fact that you are now a prisoner of the Genii."

"You mean I'm a prisoner of war."

It wasn't a question.

"You are the clever one, but then, I already knew that. You defeated me once Doctor, and you kept your precious city. But this time, there's no one to help you. No Doctor McKay to stand in front of the gun. And no Colonel Sheppard to shoot me."

He smirked at her in a way that made her feel physically sick.

"Poor Colonel Sheppard. How will he cope without you?"

"Why me?"

"Excuse me."

Elizabeth almost revelled in seeing the confusion on Koyla's face.

"Why me and not Sheppard? After all, he's the one that shot you, and left you in that underground chamber."

"Revenge."

"What?"

Koyla revelled in seeing the confusion on Elizabeth's face.

"Sheppard is close to you. He would die to protect you. He showed that when he tried to retake Atlantis. He was willing to risk his own life to rescue you. He would've gotten himself killed, the way he acted after he thought you were dead. As long as I have you, I have revenge on him because he can't save you."

He leaned in so he was right up in her face.

"There's also the slight fact that you are the reason I was shot. You are the reason a huge number of Genii men died that day. You are the reason my son is dead. You are the reason I was arrested when we got out of that underground cavern. I went after him, because of what he did on the city, which he did because of you. You are the reason for all the suffering I have faced. You are the reason for this war. And now I have you, and I can take revenge on you. Nothing can stop me from doing whatever I want to you."

Koyla reached out and brushed her face with the back of his hand. Elizabeth pulled away sharply. Koyla smiled at her.

"You are my prisoner, you cannot escape me. But, let's take things slowly, shall we?"

With a grin, Koyla stood and left the room. As the door slammed shut, Elizabeth fought back tears. She couldn't show any weakness.


John groaned loudly.

"Why does everything ache?"

"You were shot lad. You need to take it easy."

"I said it aches, it doesn't hurt. I've been shot Carson, this is different."

"It wasn't a bullet or a laser blast. It was a stunner."

"A stunner?"

John quickly sat up and looked around the infirmary. Ronon was lying in the bed next to him; Teyla was sat next to him. She rubbed his hand gently and looked up at John sadly. Opposite him, Rodney was sat on the end of a bed, his head down. Looking at Carson, John watched, as he couldn't meet his eyes.

"What's going on?"

"John, do you remember what happened on the planet?"

"There was a scream, Elizabeth…where's Elizabeth?"

"I saw her, when we were retreating."

John looked across at Rodney as he spoke. He still didn't raise his head though.

"And?"

"She was being carried over the shoulder of a Genii."

"Then…then she's dead."

Finally Rodney looked up. His eyes were red. He couldn't meet John's eyes either.

"That's not it, is it?"

"The weapons they had, they were stunners John."

"But if they were only stunners then…"

John trailed off and shook his head slowly.

"No…no, this can't be right."

Everyone looked away from him as tears began to fall from his eyes.

"Please, anything but that."

"I'm sorry."

John barely heard what was said though. Her being dead he could cope with. At least there would be some finality in it. Instead the Genii had her. But John knew that it was even worse then that.

It wasn't just the Genii that had her.

It was Koyla.
