I still don't own anything. Thanks for the reviews. Hope you like it.
Chapter Four: Old Family, New Family
"Well, according to the test results, John is perfectly healthy. He is right where he should be for a five year old," Carson stated, glancing at the charts one more time. It had been quite the experience getting blood from little John. He had squirmed and cried the entire time. Now he was perfectly happy.
"But he's not five. What about the mental part of this all?" Rodney asked, looking at John sitting on Teyla's lap while she read to him.
"To be honest, I have no idea. This is way out of my league. We can only hope that once you look at the devise, you'll find something that makes sense and change him back." Carson admitted.
"Alright, Rodney, I want you, Ford, and Teyla to go back to the planet and search the lab. Take Zelenka also, we need as many brains on this as possible," Elizabeth commanded.
The group nodded and walked off. Elizabeth looked over at the little boy who was once her friend. Seeing him small and vulnerable was strange. He was always so tough. Looking at the little boy in front of her, she never would have guessed it. He had a guarded look in his eyes almost all the time, like he had seen too much for a five year old. Realizing she had stood there for quite a while, she walked over to Carson and John.
"What are you boys talking about?" she asked, smiling.
"Well, John here was telling me about his birthday. He got a dog. What was his name?" Carson said.
"His name is Buster. He has a really long tail. He drools a lot too." John said, his eyes losing that guarded look.
"That's really neat. I thought I could show you around this city. You have been asking where we are. We are in a city called Atlantis." Elizabeth explained, leading him away from the infirmary.
"It's so big. How did I get here? I was at home then at that place where those people found me. I was scared but they were nice. Except for Rodney. He was mean." John said.
"I don't know how you got here. As for Rodney, just give it time. He'll grow on you." Elizabeth said, smiling
"You remind me of my mom. She was really nice. She had pretty eyes like you too." John stated, the guarded look returning.
"What happened to your mom?" Elizabeth asked, looking somewhat concerned. She had figured out where that guarded look came from.
"I don't want to talk about. Maybe later," he said, hanging his head.
"It's okay. We can still take a walk around Atlantis for now," Elizabeth said. As they walked along, people stared at them curiously.
I haven't seen too many episodes, so I don't know anything about his family. If it is different that I write about, oh well. Keep reviewing if you want more.
