Okay, I was really nervous about this chapter because I don't know how people will react to it. So, hopefully you will enjoy this.

Chapter Five: Revelations

Elizabeth rushed out of her office and off to the infirmary. Carson had sounded concerned, which had her scared. He was normally very in charge of his emotions. The fact that he sounded concerned meant that something was really wrong. Rounding the last corner, she saw the infirmary. She slowly entered, as if in slow motion. Carson was sitting at his desk reading some papers.

"Carson, what is going on?" Elizabeth asked. "And where are John and Rodney?"

"Oh, I told them they were free to go. All their test results came out normal." He answered.

"Okay, then why did you call me down here?" Elizabeth asked, looking a little confused.

"Well, I was going to file these papers away when I dropped them. It was then that I saw this paper. The results shocked me, so I doubled checked them. It is actually quite interesting. I never would have thought about this until I saw the paper. It makes a person wonder-"

"Carson!" Elizabeth interjected. "What did you find out?"

"They're related." Carson said with a weird expression on his face.

Elizabeth looked at him with an astounded look on her face. "How closely related are we talking?"

"Well, if my tests are correct, it looks like they are half-brothers." He said.

"Half-brothers! That's kind of a big thing not to tell us. Why would they not tell us? Although that does explain their child-like bickering." Elizabeth said, her eyes wide.

"I don't know if they know. I mean think about it Elizabeth, it's like you said, it's too big of a secret to keep from us." Carson answered. "And yes, that does explain their behavior. Why, just today they started a rubber band war! In my infirmary!"

Elizabeth snickered at Carson's enraged face. But she immediately replaced the smile with a frown. There were so many factors in this. Such as: "Do we tell them now or later?" She asked.

'Normally, I would say tell them right away but this is not a normal situation. I personally, as their friend, think that we should wait until they get back to their own bodies before we tell them of anything." Carson said, his face thoughtful.

"I agree. If we tell them now, it could cause even more chaos. We will keep it a secret for now." Elizabeth responded.

"Keep what a secret?" Teyla asked as she and Ford walked in.

"We were just coming to see the captives when we overheard you. So, now you have to tell us." Ford said with a grin.

"Well…"

Meanwhile…

"Would you just keep still and not touch anything? At all?"

John sighed. He was so bored. He, Rodney, and Zelenka had been in the lab for quite some time. He looked at his watch. 'Five hours is long enough.' He thought. 'Rodney won't even let me eat anything but those nasty protein bars.'

"Rodney, have you figured it out yet?" John whined.

"No, I haven't. But perhaps you would like to just drop this again and see if it works." He answered sarcastically.

"Um, why not? It worked before." John said.

Rodney sighed. "Because the chances of it working that way again are so slim, it would be stupid to even think of the odds."

"But it doesn't hurt to try, right?"

"Fine, we will try it." Rodney rolled his eyes as he hit his headset. "Elizabeth we are going to try something."

"Alright, I'll be right there."

Rodney turned to Dr. Zelenka. "When Elizabeth gets here, you two wait outside. We wouldn't want an even bigger problem, even though this isn't going to work." He glanced at John.

Suddenly, Elizabeth entered. John looked at her closely, her face held a weird expression.

"Are you okay?" He asked. "You look freaked out about something."

"I'm fine." She replied. "Are you guy ready to do this?"

"Well, yes, but I don't think it will work. Mr. "I'm in a genius' body, so now I know everything" here thinks it will. We'll see." Rodney said.

"Okay, now let's wait in the hall." Dr. Zelenka said, ushering Elizabeth out.

"Good luck!" She called.

John looked over at Rodney. "Well, here goes nothing."

So, how did I do? Do you like it? Please review.
