I am so sorry it took so long to update. Between school and work, my life is no longer my own. I made this chapter extra long just because I felt so bad. Hope you like it.

Chapter Six: Wow

"Okay, I'm going to drop it." John stated.

Rodney crossed his arms and rolled his eyes. "Go ahead but this isn't going to work. Wait, wait! We should get Carson outside so that if this does work there is a doctor right here. Chances are we will pass out again."

"I thought you said this wouldn't work." John said with a smile on his face.

"It won't, but you know, just in case." Rodney hit his earpiece. "Carson, we are going to try something, could you meet us at the lab?"

"Sure John, um, Rodney, be right there."

Meanwhile…

Elizabeth and Zelenka were waiting in the hallway outside the lab. Elizabeth's foot tapped the ground, as if separated from her body. Zelenka glanced at her. She seemed to be in a different place. "Are you are right?" He asked.

Elizabeth put on a fake smile. "Yes, I'm fine. So, do you think this will work?"

Zelenka shrugged his shoulders. "Well, we have tried everything else. It doesn't sound like it will work but who knows? Nothing is what it seems here in Atlantis."

"Tell me about it." Elizabeth muttered under her breath. Suddenly there was a flash in the lab. The two of them rushed in. Both guys were on the floor, passed out. Carson entered and looked at John and Rodney. He bent down and checked their pulse.

"Well they look to be fine but let's get them to the infirmary and see if things are back to normal. Well, as normal as can be anyways."

A few hours later…

"Ugh." John sighed as he woke up. His whole body hurt. Wait, was he in his body or Rodney's still?

"Alright sleepyhead, which one are you?" Carson asked a smile on his face.

"John." He answered, raising his arm as if Carson was taking roll.

"Well, congratulations. You are now the proud owner of your own body."

"Really?" John's eyes burst open. Beside them, Rodney stirred a little. Carson walked over to the bed.

"Rodney, that you?"

"Yep it's me." He said raising his arm just like John had done.

'Yep, they are brothers.' Carson thought as he looked between the two of them. This next part was going to be hard. Telling them. "Elizabeth, they are awake." Carson said into his headset.

"I'll be right there."

Carson turned back to his patients. "How are you guys feeling? Back to normal? Any headaches?"

"No, I feel pretty good." "Horrible headache."

Carson laughed. They were such polar opposites, just like brothers. He still couldn't get his head wrapped around it. 'Why didn't I see it before?' Elizabeth entered the room and gave Carson a knowing look. It was time.

"John, Rodney, we have something to tell you guys. I'm going to let Carson tell you since he found it."

Carson cleared his throat and took a deep breath. "Well, it started when I was taking test on you guys to see if there was anything wrong. I believe you two were starting a rubber band war." He looked sternly at the two of them.

"Hey, he started it." Rodney said, pointing at John.

"Tattle tale." John sneered.

"The point that I was trying to make was that I found something. After I let you guys go, I found a paper. It seems that the computer did a test on its own. It compared your guy's DNA and determined that you are half-brothers."

For the first time since Elizabeth had met them, they were quiet. They just stared at Carson, as if waiting for more. He took the cue.

"Normally, I wouldn't know if you were half brothers but the machine can determine this. You two share a mother or father."

"Um, so you are saying that we are brothers. But we each had different parents." Rodney said.

"I think our parents didn't tell us the truth." John answered.

"I understand that you two may need some alone time to work this out. We'll leave you guys alone." Elizabeth said as she and Carson left the infirmary. "Well, I think that that went well."

"I think so too." Carson said.

Review if you want, I understand if you don't want to.
