A/N: Assuming that The Pegasus Project never happened, or that Teyla visited Earth before that episode took place...
The first thing that Cameron notices when he finally opens his eyes is the grey fabric covering standard issue boots that stand perilously close to his head. The colour is familiar but it takes him a few moments to place. Groaning, he sits up and tilts his head to identify the owner of the boots.
"You must be Teyla. Sorry we're a little late, we ran into some trouble."
"We have only just arrived ourselves," she replies, indicating at her companions standing nearby. "That was quite an entrance, Colonel."
His eyes flicker across the room and he notes just how many people had the pleasure of witnessing his team tumble down the enitre length of the ramp.
"Yeah, well, that's what happens when you throw yourself into a horizontal wormhole." He rises gingerly, running his fingers across a tender spot at the back of his neck as his attention is drawn to the opening blast door.
"I take it that the mission didn't go as planned?" The General takes in the dishevelled appearance of the team before turning his attention back to Cameron.
"Not so much, no. I think that we can safely cross that Gate address of the friendlies list, Sir. Besides, they were in the process of burying the Gate just as we went through."
"Well, get yourselves checked out and I'll do the formal introductions in the meeting room," he replies, smiling at their intergalactic visitors. Cameron can't help but notice the mixture of glares and smirks that he receives as the Atlanteans follow Landry out of the Gate room.
"What did I do?"
Teal'c pauses at his side and raises an eyebrow in amusement. "Perhaps they did not appreciate you throwing yourself at the feet of their team mate."
"It was a horizontal gate. I didn't do it deliberately, I could have landed anywhere."
"Yes, you could have." Teal'c turns and continues on his way, calling over shoulder, "But you did not."
He pauses for a moment before following his team mates to the infirmary. "Hey, what's that supposed to mean?"
