A/N: I like this idea with McKay and Strike. As we all know Rodney has trouble with relationships. That one episode last week had me laughing my ass off. I must say it is harder writing than I thought it would be, but I am starting to like it. Tying a story together is a lot of fun, the plots , and the angst is a lot of fun. Purplestar2424 (JENN R)did bring up the point that Dr. Weir did say goodbye to her man on Letters from Pegasus, but they did not leave for earth yet so she does not know that her man has moved on I guess is the way to put it.

Chapter 9

Everyone in the lab was just looking at Rodney and tried not to laugh some did better than others. (We see a few women in the background rolling on the floor and a few holding there sides trying to hold the laughter inside.) Rodney was trying to point at the screen he was working on but he could not get his arm to move because he was looking at the woman that came onboard when the guardian had first talked to them in the meeting room. Rodney was thinking, ( Good God look at that beautiful woman, so why is she talking to me again. Wait she is the woman that was helping the Guardian so maybe she can help me with all the stuff the ancients left behind in all these labs, but how to get her to help me.)

Strike was looking around the lab waiting for McKay to get his foot out of his mouth and thought, ( Well he may not be in the best physical shape for a human but his mind, wow. Looks like he has some trouble with women no problem just have to get him to relax and than he will start to talk like normal. Hmmm but what to do or what to say that will relax him, now that can be a problem. What to do, what to do hmmm. ) Strike smiled at Rodney and said, "It's ok Dr. McKay I think I understand what you are working on, just seeing if you do?" This seemed to get McKay to pull his foot out of his mouth and get his brain firing on all cylinders. The question seemed to kick McKay's ego into high gear and got him talking normally. " Of course I know what I am working. Why do you ask?" said Dr. McKay. (He has that look on his face that we all know and love, the smug doctor look that says I know something you don't look that he gets a lot.) "Well I just finished my download of the city database and it was a lot of fun, all the stuff the ancients were working on will make the Guardian laugh his ass off," smiled Strike.

" What do you mean you finished your download, that download had to have been more than a 10000000 million terabytes. (a terabyte is a unit of information or computer storage equal to one trillion bytes. This is an estimate of the computer storage of Atlantis when they were sending a compressed burst threw the gate back to earth and as they sent a file for everything they did, this is from when Dr. Weir asked how much of the ancient database they had room for only 7 or 8 percent of the database.) No way did you finish that in less than a month, you have only been here 2 days and the soldiers have been with you all the time that you have been here. "It was only a 10 million terabyte download so it only took me 5 minutes and 16 seconds to scan the database and see the new files that had been added since we left 11 thousand years ago," said Strike. To this Rodney McKay looked at Strike with an amazed face. Than his eyes rolled back into his head and fell to the floor. Several of his people rushed over and checked his pulse and started to laugh at him. "Well I guess we better take him to the med lab and have Dr. Beckett take a quick look at him,' said one of the female lab techs.

Strike looked down at Rodney and thought. ( Damn well I guess at lest I get to take him to a bed just not mine. O well I still get to touch him that will make me feel better.) Strike said," Does he do this a lot? I guess I can take him to the med lab the guards did show me were it was, it should not take me long to get him there." The female lab tech just smiled and said, "He faints sometimes but most times just needs some food Dr. Beckett has his favorite granola bar under lock and key." To everyone's amazement Strike leans down and picks up Dr. McKay with no trouble and starts to walk out the door with her guards behind showing no amazement at all. She walks down the hall with McKay in her arms and a few people just started laughing at the picture in front of them. After a few minutes of walking she got Rodney down to the med lab with no trouble on her part, but poor Rodney was going to be a laugh stock when he wakes up as a lot of people saw her take him to medical. As she was putting him onto a bed she saw a guard walking down a hallway to the exit beside her, out of the doorway flew a metal cup at high speed and hit the poor guard on the forehead and knocked him to the ground. Out rushed a dark haired dark skin man and he picked up the guard's 2 guns and he started to yell.

Strike took in all information in a millisecond and took action. First she did a scan of the room. Than turned up her power output to all of her muscle systems. She than used the city cameras to get a full 360 view of the violent man in the hallway, and saw than he looked changed, than with the camera picture planed to knock him out. Than she ran a scan with the city sensors and her own than thought. (Well this can't be good looks like he has some Wraith proteins in his system that will make him harder to control and to knock out, well this should be fun I will have to report this to the Guardian he is going to be so mad that he missed this.)

Than faster than the human eye could see she ran up to Aiden Ford and took his weapons punched him in the face and he flew down the hallway a good 25 feet and hit the wall hard. Dr. Beckett just looked at the small woman that just appeared in front of him with awe and a little lust. Than Adien started to move again and was trying to get up off the floor, suddenly the woman was standing over him and hit him again just a little lighter but he still hit the wall behind him with a lot of force, this time he seemed to be knocked out the whole way. "Well Dr. Beckett looks like I came in here at the right time," Smiled Strike.

"Aye lass looks like you did. Who are you by the way?" asked Carson. "I am Strike, I came onboard with Guardian scanned the city I did most of the repair work. I was just talking to Dr. McKay when I guess I must have surprised him, so he fainted and I carried him here and than I decided to help you with Lt. Ford," smiled the lady in front of him. " Do you have a strong bed with very strong straps to hold him with. I think it would be a good idea to contain him so he does not hurt any more people," stated Strike. Dr. Beckett said yes could you bring him this way. So Strike picked up Lt. Ford and walked after the doctor to another room with a cot bolted to the floor and some open straps hanging down the sides. Strike out Aiden on the cot and put the straps in her hands than looked at the doctor and said, " I don't think these straps are going to be strong enough to hold him, I am going to give you a containment field generator." She than straps Aiden into the cot than pulls a small light green box off her belt than puts it on the floor under the cot and touches a button on the side and a white light started to wrap around the Lt. "Doctor the field will keep him in the cot without hurting him as it won't let him move more than a few millimeters at a time, you can touch him so you can give him drugs to keep him calm but if that does not work than put this on his forehead it should put him in a deep dreamless sleep it should give us time to work on his problem, I have to go check on McKay,' smiled Strike. She gives Carson a small sliver white disk about the size of his palm. She than walks out of the room and down the hallway to the bed with McKay on it were he looked like he was just starting to wake up.

A/N: Well do you like my solution to the Aiden Ford problem?
