Chapter 2 - Helper
Andrea didn't even blink when they entered the 'gate room.
"You can go back to the medical area if you want, Carson." Andrea said as they walked up the main steps to the control room.
"I'm staying with you, my dear." he said. when they reached the control room Dr. Weir met them.
"I'm...
"Doctor Elizabeth Weir, I know. " Andrea finished, they shook hands.
"What's in the box?" she asked.
"Perhaps you will join us putting this wherever Rodney thinks it should go." Andrea said, Elizabeth nodded and Rodney led the way. When they arrived Andrea took the ZPM out of the box and Dr. Weir gasped. Rodney hooked it up with a glint in his eyes. they ran to a window, the city itself glowed with light. with a few clicking noises the shield came up too. Dr. Weir asked to be put on city wide.
"Attention everyone, this is Dr. Weir. I am very happy to say that we have full power to the city and the shield. Great work everyone and thank you." she concluded. Cheers came up from those near by. a handsome military man ran up the stairs. he saw Andrea and tripped on the last step. she moved closer and caught him. as soon as skin touched skin her tattoos burned. those who could see the difference either hissed at her pain or stared in wonder.
"Ah Andrea, this is Major John Sheppard. Everyone this is Andrea DuBois." Rodney introduced then to each other. Major Sheppard stood up and offered the girl, who stepped back.
"The last time my scars burned was when one of the ancients touched me." she muttered.
"One of the ancients touched you? how long have you been here?" Radek Zelenka asked.
"3 million years." Andrea, Rodney, and Carson said in unison. all of the others looked stunned.
"Ah Carson, has she been scanned yet?" Elizabeth asked.
"No we came straight here." he replied.
"Well we should probably go do that." Major Sheppard said. instead of offering her his hand he gave her his arm. she touched the cloth lightly. They followed Carson out of the control room.
"Rodney." Elizabeth grabbed his arm. "If she's been here for 3 million years why does she look like a teenager?" she asked. Rodney shrugged and smiled wickedly. she let go of him and he ran off after the group heading to the medical wing.
Andrea layed down on one of the beds to let the machine scan her. John sat her up when it was done. she jumped out of his reach. Rodney, Andrea, and Carson looked at the results on one of the computer screens.
"I don't believe it." Carson whispered. "Her bones are hollow."
"Hollow?" John asked.
"Aye, like a bird." Carson said.
"Wait hollow bones. why?" John asked. Carson and Rodney locked gazes.
"We know why." they said in unison, probably remembering her wings. John gave the men a suspicious look. they headed back to the control room. they turned a corner to see a woman punch a marine. John ran forward to catch the woman and another marine came around a corner at the same time and grabbed the man.
"Ah, Andrea this is Teyla Emmagan , Sergeant Bates, and Lieutenant Ford." Rodney breathed gesturing at each one in turn. the struggle calmed.
"This is Andrea DuBois. we found her earlier today and she was the one who supplied us with a ZPM." Rodney told them.
"Walkaway Bates." John said.
"But sir." he argued.
"Walkaway!" Major Sheppard yelled.
"Yes sir." he said and stormed off. Andrea spent the rest of the day helping them bring systems online and to figure other stuff out. It was nightfall very quickly. Andrea and Rodney walked out onto the balcony over looking the ocean. John followed them and set up a small camera in the shadows. the two of them talked as he did this.
"It was a great pleasure to meet you. I want to, uh, personally thank you for everything you've helped us with today. I... uh, god night." John heard Rodney say. he had brought up a hand to touch her but dropped it and walked back inside. John snuck up behind Andrea. he put his left hand on the railing and used his right hand to carefully trace the tattoos on her arms. as soon as skin touched skin her tattoos lit up. He felt her tense then flinch away.
"You are a descendant of the Ancients, right?" she asked.
"If you mean I have the Ancient gene, then yes." John replied. "Why do your scars burn when i touch you?" he asked.
"I would rather you didn't touch me. you are very..." she trailed off. he barely heard her mutter "very handsome. no..."
"Did you say 'very handsome'? so I'm not just the leading military personal here. unless you'd rather fancy Dr. McKay." he taunted. Andrea whipped around, He placed his right arm around her back.
"You realize you're flirting with someone 3 million years older than you right?" she said.
"Yeah but i think it's worth it. Don't you?" he asked, leaning into her.
"Good night." she muttered and slipped from his grasp, he shrugged.
"Good night my little angel." he said and walked off.
Sorry for any implications but it was fun to write. R&R please!
