AN – OK fairly confusing fic that started when I started thinking... Always bad.
Summary – When Rodney is asked whether he will save John or take the ZPM there are two different choices, two different roads, two different universes. D drabbles
Rating – PG-13 – Character death, well in one anyway
Disclaimer – I'm pretty sure I don't own them.
The Road Not Taken
Original Universe - Rodney
The wraith were coming.
They needed that ZPM.
They needed John Sheppard.
He needed John Sheppard.
And in that second Rodney knew he was worrying over nothing.
John or a ZPM.
No choice at all.
He reached over and untied the Major.
John looked at him.
Rodney shrugged. "Not leaving you behind, Major."
Rodney felt John's hand slip into his own and he squeezed tightly.
They had to get away; there was only one outcome of blowing a ZPM.
In another universe Rodney knew another-him had just let another-John die.
Rodney wished him luck.
He was going to need it.
