Chapter 10
Rodney was on the med lab bed, Strike was looking down at him waiting for him to wake up. She was thinking, He will wake soon his heart is starting to beat faster and increase in his breathing and what sounds like his stomach growling at me so the stories are true the way to a man's heart is threw his stomach. He started to move around on the bed and almost fell off of it but Strike put a hand on his shoulder and started to shake him. Rodney woke up with a little scream I guess you could call it a little girl scream but it was deeper than that. Strike was looking at him with a big smile and thought, Well that was kind of cute but I think I may have to toughen him up a little bit. Hmmm maybe nanites yes that could work they will make him harder to kill and give him perfect health. Just as Rodney was looking up at her Strike looked at her arm, a computer display popped up out of her arm along with a ray of light that scanned him from head to toe, the screen flashed green and she smiled. (You know the kind of smile that lights up the room and makes a day run smoother.) Than out of her wrist a thin little tube flashed out of it and stuck McKay in the chest right above him heart, and line of bright white light started down the tube and flashed over to Rodney and started to follow his veins and arteries until he started to glow from the inside. The computer screen on her arm flashed a bright neon green and Strike looked very happy.
McKay opened his eyes and looked up at Strike and thought, Wow that's the woman that was talking to me. Wait that's the woman that said she downloaded the city database, now how the hell did she do that, I have to get her to tell me how she did that, doesn't look like she has any computer tech with her. Wait a minute what is that on her arm. He looked down at his chest and than he thought, Ok there is something sticking into my chest that should hurt right there is something in my chest yet it does not hurt that is just not possible right, but ok what is that light its seems to be going into me. O my God she is putting something into me look at that the light is following my circulatory system. Ok now why am I starting to feel different wow my back does not hurt anymore I am on one of the med lab cots and my back does not hurt that is great. Ok getting very hungry now o man I'm I hungry. Ok good she is taking the tube out know that's great but why did she put that in me in the first place. McKay looked at her and said, "What did you just do? What was that light?" Strike smiled down at McKay and said, "Well the first light that you saw was me scanning you to see if the nanotech that I had with me was compatible with your DNA and it was. So I injected you with some of it to make sure you stay healthy and happy for a long time to come. The second light you saw was the nanites going into your system. Plus I thought it would be a great way to get to know you as with the nanotech in your system, you can talk to me about any of the ancient tech you were working on better because it will be easier to understand now with the data in the nanites will download into your brain when ever you want it." And once again Rodney McKay had the funniest look on his face but since the nanites were in his body and were finished with there replication work and had his body baseline life-force under control he did not pass out like last time, but he did seem to get light headed.
Strike saw that he seemed overwhelmed with all she said that she did, so she said, "Ok Dr. McKay how would you like something to eat, the last time I was in the mess hall they had a very good meatloaf and gravy dish that tasted very good." With that said Rodney looked back up at Strike and said, "Well I am very hungry, but did you really eat the meatloaf and you did not die how that is possible." She smiled again and said, "I all ways try new food when I meet new people and new cultures. The meatloaf was good compared to some of the food I have had before." Strike helped Rodney up off the cot with no trouble. He looked down at his legs and his arms felt different too. He shakes his head and started to follow her down the hallway. It seemed to take less time to get to the mess hall than normal but he chalked it up to following her and the fact that she walked very fast. The mess hall was not to busy and they got there order quickly and sat down in the far corner away from the door, he had his normal order with some ham and potatoes and a turkey sandwich and started to eat with gusto, Strike had some more meatloaf with gravy also some mashed potatoes and a blue green broccoli that Teyla's people grew on the main land. Just as Rodney was taking his last bite the gate room alarm started to sound through out the city and he looked over and was about to say something when he saw that she looked very pale and she started to shake a little bit at first he thought that the meatloaf had got to her than he saw what looked like splashes of light all over her very nice skin. Then she fell out of her chair and started to shake more and knocked over some chairs and tables no one could stop her from shaking.
After the Wraith jumped to hyperspace the Guardians ship started to move closer to the city. About half way there the ship seemed to ripple like the shield was having problems staying intact, than the ship's hull started to move around like ocean water and black waves of energy started to pulse out of the ship and moved away from the ship very fast but did not seem to do anything no debris from the Wraith ships exploded or moved and no one in the city felt anything but the city scanners did show the waves move out to the edge of the Pegasus Galaxy and stop, than seem to make a stable wall of energy out in space around the whole galaxy. The ship moved closer to Atlantis and stopped at transport range. We see the Guardian in the ships control room shaking and rippling like the ship was just doing, than he pushes a button and he disappears in a bright flash of white light and reappears in the Atlantis gate room. Dr. Weir had just got back to her office overlooking the gate room and looked a little ruffed up, (You know, her clothes looked messy and her hair was very messy like she had a teenage make out session.) She had just sat down at her desk after trying to clean up a bit but she did do so well, when the gate room alarm went off and thought now what the hell is going on, she looked out of the office window and saw several guards surrounding the Guardian who was standing in the middle of the gate room. She rushed out of the office and down into the floor in front of the gate. She had the guards back away from the Guardian who was lying on the floor of the gate room. She looked at him what she saw scared her a lot he did not look so good his black shielding seemed to be moving around a lot and did not look as solid as it did the first time she had seen him in the meeting room. The Guardian rolled over onto his back and looked up at her and said, "Man I hate those sons of bitches. Dr. Weir I have to rest a little bit please make sure no one trys to touch me. Also please make sure Strike is okay she may not be doing so good the energy waves I had to put out almost destroyed her main AI computer core. There should be a black and grey box on her belt it will save her. It is very important that no one try's to touch me doctor I will not be able to control the energy field when I am asleep." Dr. Weir said, "OK I can do that Guardian."
A/N: So who was the Guardian talking about? Plus why did Dr. Weir look like that?
