Chapter 5

"You're sure about this Rodney 100 percent sure?" Elizabeth asked needing to know that the man before her had all the facts together before he got himself arrested for being wrong.

"I'd say 80 percent sure I won't know exactly that he was behind this or if he was just a mule for someone higher up until I get to Earth." Rodney said confidently.

"Alright I believe you what can I do to help?" Elizabeth asked she too wanted John back on Atlantis it just didn't feel right without him here.

"Anything would be useful we need all the resources we can get if we're going to get John back here," Rodney said.

"I can call in a few favors see what I can do," Elizabeth suggested.

"Wait how are you going to do that?" Rodney asked since all her contacts were in an all together different galaxy.

"When we open the gate to send you through I'll send emails out to some old friends and tell them to reply to your email if they can help and you can ask you questions," Elizabeth said proudly of her plan.

"Great I'll go tell Teyla and Ronon to start packing," Rodney said standing from his seat and started for the door but abruptly stopped only a few steps from the door.

"Elizabeth thank you," Rodney said turning back to the door and exiting her office.

"Your welcome," Elizabeth whispered to herself and then got work on calling in the favors.

Back on Earth

"Hi I'm Lt. Colonel John Sheppard…General Landry just gave me my new orders I'm joining your team," John said after he entered the room.

"Yeah Landry told us welcome aboard SG-1 Sheppard," Cameron said though outwardly smiling inside he didn't see the need for the fifth team member.

"That's Colonel Carter over there," Cameron nodded his head over to the blond.

"That's Doctor Jackson," Cameron introduced the man at the other end of the desk.

"And the quiet guy over there is Teal'c," Cameron again nodded over to the big quiet guy.

"So you're from Atlantis?" Cameron questioned wondering what the man had done to get transferred from a place like Atlantis.

"Yeah got transferred from Atlantis," John said with an undertone of sadness. Daniel on the other hand immediately did a double take at the mention of Atlantis.

"What's it like there?" Jackson asked and the words to describe his face were Kid and Candy Store.

"It's great there except for the Wraith…the city itself is huge like the size of Manhattan…the architecture of the city is beautiful…the people there we all kinda bonded over the first year in the city. Then there's my team on Atlantis they're the best kind of people could hope to meet and have as friends." John said.

"Except for McKay I bet he's annoying as hell," Sam said followed by a small laugh.

"Actually McKay isn't that bad, he's mellowed out since coming to Atlantis," John said and happy about that to McKay was a pain in the ass when he first arrived but being around technology that he doesn't understand has brought him more down to Earth John thought to himself. I wonder what their doing know on Atlantis…McKay he's probably working on some new piece of technology he found…Teyla she's probably sparring…with Ronon John felt jealousy ripple through his mind at the thought that the two were sparring together now with him out of the picture in Atlantis Ronon had no real competition for Teyla. And me I left before she could tell me if she felt the same now I'll never know.

In Atlantis Teyla was busily packing her belonging for the trip to Earth though she wished it wasn't under these circumstances that she was finally going to see the planet. Even though they were not leaving for days she wished to be packed and ready.

"Hey Teyla not done yet" Ronon asked entering her room.

"I am almost finished what do you want Ronon should you not be packing your things?" Teyla asked a little uncomfortable in his presence at the moment.

"No I all ready finished packing my stuff," Ronon said while walking over to her bed and sat down next to her bag.

"Did you want something else?" Teyla asked continuing in her packing while Ronon sat there.

"I was curious about something what did Sheppard say to you before he left?" Ronon asked her answer would decide his next course of action. If Sheppard told her that he loved her then I'll be a friend and not impose. But if he didn't then I guess I'll make a move.

"That is private Ronon," Teyla said followed by a blank stare.

"Who am I going to tell I swear I won't tell a soul," Ronon asked he really needed to know as not to make a fool of himself by trying to claim Teyla if Sheppard had already done so.

Mulling it over in her mind for a few moments Teyla finally relented.

"Very well…before John left he told me that he loved me and then he left," Teyla said reliving the memory in her mind and along with the memories the same confused emotions and feeling followed.

"Do you love him back?" Ronon asked her answer to his last question had told him that Sheppard had made his claim and now it was his job to get Sheppard back here for Teyla.

"I think I do love him…I have always felt a connection to him…now I know that I love him," Teyla said.
