yey^^ last chapter up now^^
___
Finally finished with bandaging the wound up the best that he could, Megan or Chaya could probably stitch it back up later, he threw the jacket back down in the hole that Atlantis had opened to save his life.
"Thanks, of course you could have warned me that the door was broken…" he said casually as he looked over his surroundings.
"With these three, it makes 38. That leaves 22 plus Kolya. Great. Just great" he muttered as he started to walk down the corridor.
"Another ambush would be good… preferably with less explosives…" he whispered as he walked as fast as he could, looking down he noticed that he was bleeding from his tight as well. He hadn't even noticed.
"No wonder it took so long" he told himself seriously.
___
Running for your life from bullets and pissed off Genii wasn't really something you should do whit a gaping wound in your leg. Truth be told he actually didn't feel the pain in his leg all that much. Or in his side. No he was much more focused on getting out to the balcony facing the west tower then to feel any pain. As the door he was racing for slowly approached he could feel something hitting him in the shoulder. Surprised he stumbled for a moment before he continued to run as fast at he could. The cold night air hit against his face and the moon was all the light there was out there. Jumping to the side as the doors hid him from the Genii and actually climbed up at the wall. He had just crunched down on the list above the door when it opened and the Genii soldiers ran out. No one off them stopped, but everyone ran out on the bridge as one. Unfortunately for them, said bridge had been a programmed hologram. Taking a deep breath to fight away the ebbing pain in his shoulder, he couldn't help but to listen to the screams of the men who fell into the water.
___
"I saw him run that way!" one off the men behind him called as he actually skated around a corner on the old skateboard he'd given Lorne about a week before he'd gotten transferred. Risking a glance back he saw four off them following him just like he'd hoped.
"Be careful, he may lead you into a trap" Kolya's voice came from his breast pocket .
"Would I ever?" he asked no one in particular when a moment later his Atlantis radio came alive.
"You would. What happened to the ones that followed you out on the balcony?" Elizabeth said just as he took a new turn.
"They decided to go for a swim" he answered in a breath before he reached his destination.
"What are you planing? They are right behind you !" McKay almost shouted in his ear as he jumped off the board and ran to a one off the jumpers. Risking a glance up he caught sight off the "empty" parking place where his and Megan's home was. Then he was on his way.
___
"A jumper just left the jumper bay" Chuck informed them and she could feel her heart drop.
"What?!" Rodney called as he suddenly twisted around to stare at the control Chuck sat behind.
"A second jumper just left the jumper bay" Chuck then said.
"How is that possible? John can not fly both off them" she said and laid her bronze colored hand on Rodney's shoulder.
"No, and jumper one is falling! Did he take too much fire or…?" Rodney didn't sound like he even wanted to finish the sentence. They all turned to look out the window as Jumper One hit the water.
"Commander Kolya, Sheppard was taken down in one of the space ships. He is sinking to the bottom off the ocean as we speak" a Genii soldier reported on Kolya's radio and Elizabeth turned to throw the cup in her hand against the wall.
"Good, we will await your return out at the east pier" was all Kolya answered. She was going to twist away when she caught sight of something on the screen.
"He planed it." Everyone turned to look at her. Even Caldwell who was at the moment ordering the people in the mess hall.
"Look, now they have to fly all the way around the city to get to the east pier. It is a perfect place for a…" just as she spoke a drone suddenly shot out from the ocean and hit the jumper straight underneath.
"… ambush" Teyla finished simply and they watched how the second jumper, the one with the Genii soldiers, crashed straight down into the water. For a skilled and used flyer the shoot wouldn't even have hit but since no one of the Genii had ever flown before, and their ATA genes probably wasn't strong enough, they had been taken down. They all stood and watched how the first jumper emerged from the water and continued around the city through wards the east pier.
___
He could see Kolya standing there at the edge off the pier already, looking his usual smug self. Not seeing any of the remaining twelve men he decided to make a small honor loop since he'd officially killed himself. Kolya seemed uncontainable happy about it since he laughed and started to slowly clap his hands. Then they all came running like good little dogs. Unable to control himself he tapped the genii radio.
"Hey Kolya, take this" the look on that man's face was worth any off the pain and hardship he'd been through this night. Then he released the drones, set on the genii that came running.
___
As soon as the doors was enough open Ronon had shoot through and ran faster then Lorne and his team could keep up with. When they finally came out on the pier, Ronon was already running back in with someone thrown over his shoulder in a fireman's grip. With Caldwell shouting in their ears they stayed behind and tried to out the bodies out there, the pier itself wasn't badly damaged. When they had done all they through they could Lorne ordered them all inside the jumper and flew them all back to the control tower. There they found military personal cleaning away the bodies, working on the computers and all the usual after a crisis like this. Therefore he guessed that he could find the expedition leader and SGA-1 where they usually was after a crisis like this as well.
"Major! Where did you and your team go when the quarantine broke?" Caldwell was closing up on them with a cup off steaming hot coffee in hand.
"Out on the pier to ensure there was no hostile alive and that Colonel Sheppard did survive. McKay had reported that they would be on the east pier Sir" he answered calmly.
"How come you did all this without informing me right away?!" the man all but shouted at them and this time McKay jumped up from out of nowhere.
"Because it would have been Sheppard's immediate order and the logical thing to do!" McKay screamed at the colonel red faced and with flashing eyes.
"If you haven't noticed McKay I'm NOT Sheppard!!" Caldwell couldn't help shouting back at the scientist. Lorne simply stood there and enjoyed the show with his men.
"And that's what almost got us killed!" the Canadian screamed back. Then he suddenly turned around and away from him.
"Maybe Kolya was right huh? Sheppard's shoes must be huge to try and fill when you're as incompetent as you are. At least he had some common sense"
"Common sense is not all that common, Doctor" he said helpfully and the Canadian only hmm'ed before he walked away. Moment later he came back, took the Colonel's coffee and raced away to the infirmary.
___
"Carson, how is he?" Teyla asked as soon as the doctor came out into the full waiting room.
"We have patched him together and he should be fine. He's wee thin off blood and it looks like the bastards did a number off him but he's going to be fine after a little rest" Beckett promised as he opened the curtain to show a pale John Sheppard lying there with a IV stuck in his hand. After little more then a month off not seeing him it was strange to suddenly have him lying there as he'd spent most off his time in Atlantis. Out off habit she let her hand tail the end off his bed as she walked around it to sit in her usual chair. Even though she hadn't sat in it since he's left if felt exactly the same.
"We do the usual?" Ronon asked from where he stood at the end off the bed and she nodded.
"Yes, yes of course. You didn't happened to bring anything from the mess hall? I never got any dinner and immediate death threat always make me hungry…" and there came Rodney walking with his data pad on one arm and a cup off coffee in the other hand. Ronon raised an eye brow at the scientist who walked past him and sat down in his chair.
"Fine, fine, but don't shoot me again if I go a little crazy because I haven't eaten anything" their scientist complained and crawled up deep into the chair. Behind them Carson moved on to another patient and Elizabeth walked out the door.
"Where do we hide him? Caldwell wanna send him back" Ronon said after a moment. Her heart nearly stopped.
"We can't use his room since all his things are gone and it would be the first place they looked at…" Rodney started.
"Jumper… bay… 13 C" a raspy voice came from the bed and they all turned around as if they'd been hit by a bullet.
"John?" she asked but he had fallen asleep again it seemed. Gently she took his hand and ran her thumb over his knuckles.
"What did he say?"
"Jumper bay, 13 C. Is that not a parking box?"
"yes, yes, yes! Of course. He came in a jumper, he left Atlantis in a jumper, he must have lived in one this whole time! Now parked at place 13, level C" Rodney snapped his fingers as he spoke before he pushed a few commandos.
"Ah look here, empty. What a chocker!" he exclaimed a moment later and showed them the security footage off the jumper bay.
"It must be cloaked" she supplied.
"We'll hide him there until the doc say's he's good to go"
"Of course just let me pack a few things before we do this whole prison break thing…" when both she and Ronon stared at him he gave them an annoyed and slightly nervous glare.
"Well you're both going aren't you? Why do I have to stay, alone, here?" he looked rather like a child at that moment. One that didn't understand the adults decision and wanted to come with them.
"We are going to live in the wild McKay. Not really much computer things that needs to be done" Ronon said and Rodney grimaced at the notion of living in the wild.
"Well you'd probably stick your head down in a unstable reaction of some sort and then wouldn't you think; 'hey, why didn't we bring that smart, handsome, man that always saves our asses?' hmm?"
"We're already bringing Sheppard" Ronon smiled and she couldn't hold back a giggle. Rodney's face fell.
"Of course you can come Rodney. We'll take turns to watch him so the other can pack away some things and perhaps hide them in the jumper before we steal him?" she offered and the scientist lit up immediately.
"Of course, well I'll just be going then" and with that he left them to watch over their friend.
"Well lad, I haven't heard ya laugh like that in a while. The Colonel's cheery presence?" Carson asked as he approached, and it took a moment to control himself again..
"Maybe. He good to go, doc?" he asked and Carson turned to look at him with narrowed eyebrows.
"Not planing another escape again, are ya?" he only smiled at the good doctor who let out a deep breath.
"Fine, he's good to go. But I want to check on him again in three hours" then Carson turned and left without looking back at them.
___
The control tower was back to it's usual frenzy off work and personal rushing through and around. Elizabeth herself only sat behind her desk and enjoyed a cup off good coffee.
"Dr. Weir? I just came to report that the malfunctions during Kolya's coup wasn't malfunctions at all" her gaze immediately swung up to critically watch Zelenka.
"What do you mean? They must have been, we've had malfunctions for almost a month now…"
"Yes but I've come up with a explanation for that as well. My best guess is that the malfunctions was a reaction to Colonel Sheppard not being here and that when he appeared last night, the city provided him with what he needed" the scientist spoke excitedly and had closed the door behind him as he walked into the room. Stunned she just stared at him for a while.
"Are you saying the city won't work properly without him?" Zelenka started to shake his head slightly as he tried to explain.
"Of course it could function without him, as it has been for the last month. Only that if functions better when the Colonel is here. I believe the city is programmed to serve the ancients and perhaps those with…"
"a strong enough ATA gene"
"Precisely! And since the Colonel is the strongest one we have…"
"Why thank you Dr. Zelenka I'm pleased to hear that!" came unexpectedly the voice off Colonel Caldwell into the conversation. Both she and Radek turned sharply to the man in the door.
"Colonel, I'm pretty sure that door was closed"
"And Doctor, I'm pretty sure we watched Zelenka and his team die yesterday. I'm merely doing my job by figuring out how he survived and took out those Genii soldiers" surprised by the cold meeting she raised an eye brow before she turned to Zelenka and nodded.
"We were saved by Colonel Sheppard actually, he's the one who killed them" the scientist said and she smiled softly to him in reassurance.
"That's good Radek, please return to your work" the man disappeared before anyone had any chance to change their mind.
"So that man is responsible for 51 men's death?" Caldwell asked grimly.
"It would seem so. Just a good thing he came when he did…"
"Unscheduled off world activation!"
___
Lorne and his team stood around the closed gate and watched how a silvery white light slid through the iris and hovered above the floor in front off the gat for a moment.
"Don't open fire!" Dr. Weir suddenly called out before she ran down the stairs.
"What?!" came Colonel Caldwell's voice behind her.
"Stand down gentlemen!" Dr. Weir called and they all exchanged nervous glances.
"Ignore that order!" Caldwell called but then Dr. Weir stalked past them and up to the white mist thing that now started to form itself.
"Welcome back to Atlantis Chaya, to what do I owe you this surprise?" their leader spoke just as the mist finished changing into a beautiful woman.
"Dr. Weir. I'm sorry off my intrusion into your city. No one is to badly hurt I hope?" the woman, Chaya, asked and he and his men lowered their weapons. Dr. Weir gave a odd look for a moment.
"No but it sounds like you knew we were in trouble last night?"
"I trust that you received the help you needed in time?" He stood passively as he watched the women talk (fight?) politely. Dr. Weir then smiled.
"We did. Is that why you have come?"
"Oh, no, no, no! Not you again, you can't have him!" they all turned to stare at McKay who glared at Chaya before he turned around and disappeared. Stunned he turned back to the women.
"No, despise what Dr. McKay may think I'm not here for John. However I would need your help" Chaya said before she slowly made a small circle around something, stopping behind it. The it was a small girl with dark, red-brown curls falling over her shoulders and wide hazel eyes looking around as she gripped Chaya's long sleeve harshly.
"I was hoping you'd take this child back to her father for me" Chaya smiled as if was the most simple request in the galaxy. He watched (half amused, mind you) Dr. Weir open and close her mouth for a moment.
"How are we supposed to do that? We have no idea where she comes from…"
"The answer lay closer then you would think Doctor" Chaya said before she bent down to the child
"You know what your father said, so there is no need to worry."
"But they look mean!" the child's voice sounded scared and as she looked around again he thought he saw something familiar in the way she stood, almost lazy but determinate. Chaya smiled at the child again.
"Do everyone look mean?" she asked simply. The child chock her head.
"Be nice to these people, you know your father likes them" The child nodded and a moment later Chaya stood up.
"Thank you Dr. Weir. Now I must return. Good bye" and a moment later the woman was a mist again that disappeared through the stargate. There was a silence for a moment. Then he was almost run down by something hitting him around his hips. Surprised he caught his balance before he looked down at the girl hugging him as hard as she could.
"Well then Major, I guess you'll be the one who'll look after her until we figure this mess out. Make sure the infirmary check her out" Caldwell said before he walked away again.
"I don't like him" the girl whispered and he couldn't help but to smile at her.
"Yeah? Why not?" he asked as he bent down to look her in the eyes. There he saw a familiar mischievous sparkle as she answered.
"Because he's bald!"
___
"How often do you clean your gun?" the girl asked as he took off his side arm and laid it on the bed. Surprised by the strange question he stopped in unzipping his vest for a moment.
"When I need to, why do you ask?" he asked back after a moment and threw the vest down on the bed to. They'd go to the mess hall before going to the infirmary, if he knew SGA-1 right there would be a escape planed about now and this girl didn't need to be in the middle off it.
"Daddy always cleans one off his guns when I'm going to bed. Otherwise I can't sleep" the girl told him and he felt himself stare at her for a moment.
"Why don't you tell me your name and a little more about your dad huh?" he asked her and took her hand gently as they started on the way to the mess hall.
"My name is Megan but sometimes it's just Meg. And daddy is the best one ever! He told me that if I got lost and I saw one off you, I'd go up to you and you'd help me" Narrowing his eyes slightly he turned to watch the girl who jumped along side him, shining like the sun.
"Did he tell you why?" he asked and Megan turned to look at him critically.
"I trust you Major Lorne. Just as daddy told me to" and with those words she started to pull up a familiar chain from under her dress. Slowly he bent down and took the metal tags from her to read the name that stood there.
"John Sheppard… like father like daughter huh?" he told her before they turned around and walked through wards the infirmary.
___
Ronon walked quickly as he pushed the wheel chair before him. Next to him McKay went, checking the LSD and shutting down corridors with people in them. At his other side went Teyla, leading the IV-pole alongside Sheppard.
"Ronon, where's you position? Lorne suddenly asked through the radio and he growled.
"Try and send him away and I will kill you" he answered simply without slowing down. At his side he saw McKay roll his eyes at him.
"There are two life signs coming in the corridor up ahead"
"Then shut it off" he growled back. Before McKay even had a chance to start the door closed.
"I don't want him to leave either! Come on Ronon this is important!"
"I didn't shut that door!" McKay exclaimed at his side and Sheppard chuckled.
"I think Atlantis is trying to suck up to me"
"Oh hardy har har, that's so funny I forgot to laugh!" McKay said as Teyla smiled at them.
"Course, I'm a funny guy" Sheppard answered back just as they passed the corridor they had just locked.
"Sir!" was suddenly shouted through the door as Lorne appeared and banged on it to get their attention. In his hands was a pair off dog tags. A second later the door opened and something small rushed up against Sheppard. He had just pulled his gun to shoot it when Sheppard stood up and caught the thing in his arms.
"Megan! How did you get here?" he asked as he looked at his adopted daughter.
"Chaya dropped me off. Are you ok? Did you kill them all? Where are you hurt?" she asked as she proceeded to push him back into the wheel chair. Chuckling he allowed her to do it.
"Thank you Major" he said and smiled at his friend.
"I don't know what your talking about Sir. I never saw you and that one ran away" Lorne said and pointed at Megan before he saluted and left. The door closed behind him softly.
"What the hell is going on?!" McKay suddenly shouted and both off them rolled their eyes.
"McKay, Ronon, Teyla. This is Megan and I kind off adopted her a few weeks ago" he said and watched them closely. McKay stared at him like he was insane, Ronon looked Megan over before he shrugged and started pushing the chair again. Teyla had one of those understanding woman looks that he never understood.
"Can I take that? That way, incase Colonel Bald shows up you can knock him out" Megan said simply and he watched how Teyla easily handed the girl the IV-pole.
"Meg, Teyla can't do that. They have to live here in the city with him you know"
"We're coming with you this time" Ronon said from behind him and he twisted to quickly when he tried to get a look at the man.
"You what?!" he asked through the pain and immediately Teyla's soft hands helped him to sit up and to check on the wound in his side.
"Yeah well we obviously can't leave you alone" McKay said and sent a look at Megan who only stuck her tongue out at him. The amusing part was that the scientist did the same.
"It is true John, we wish to accompany you" Teyla said and Ronon only grunted his approval.
"But guy's… this is your home"
"Home is where family is" Teyla's final words was before she moved away and nodded at Ronon to continue. Within ten minutes they were in the jumper bay and Megan looked around stunned.
"Wow" she said as she quietly followed them. When they came to the stairs Ronon walked around and scoped him up even through his protests.
"Let us take care off you for once" the man said and annoyed (and embarrassed, even through he wouldn't admit it) he allowed himself to be carried up. Teyla had taken the IV- pole so Megan could skip alongside them carelessly.
"Are we going back to Icetopia? Because I can bet all McKay's chocolate that they'll serve fish…"
"Hey! Why my chocolate? Sheppard what have you been teaching her?!" McKay asked panicked as he pointed at Megan who only smiled.
"And Icetopia? Fish?" the man continued mercilessly and he rolled his eyes as they walked onboard the cloaked jumper. Apparently it left McKay stunned enough time for Ronon to lay him down on the furs and blankets and pillows that was their bed.
"It's an Ice planet. They aren't exactly inventive when naming things but hey, it's all ice anyway" John explained with a shrug as he jawed.
"There can't have survived any people if there was only ice there" McKay continued as he sat down at the bench by the bed. Teyla was busy checking around and Ronon har laid down on the other bench to take a small pretend nap while he listened at them and after trouble.
"Well all the land is ice anyway. They have a huge ice ocean and there somehow grow threes from the ice. My guess is that they grow from the base off the planet and through the ice. You'll like it, they are actually trying to dig down trough the ice to the actual planet!" Megan started and he just hmm'ed along. They had flown over the planet and talked about the trees countless off times. Especially when he was working on digging said hole. Before he knew it he had begun to fall asleep.
___
Still with his left arm in a sling since the Genii incident a week ago he had to hack away the damn ice with his knife instead off the hatchet he'd been able to use before. Megan was as usual sitting up at the edge playing with her doll and Ronon had joined the hunting party since they all was tried off fish. Rodney and Teyla was away on a trading mission to get some potato and perhaps carrots. They had all sat down surprisingly well to living on this cold piece of the universe. Especially McKay. The man actually seemed… at ease with living a simple life. Ronon also seemed rather fine life. Teyla and Megan had soon become close friends and it glared him that there was a woman she could relate to when she grew older.
"Oh for God's sake don't tell me you like it here too!" came suddenly from the top of the hole and surprised he looked up. There stood General O'Neill himself with his hands at his sides and a clearly amused look on his face. Slightly embarrassed he left the knife in the ice and ruffled the hair at the back of his head nervously.
"oh Hi General" he called up and carefully stood up so he wouldn't slipp and tripp.
"What is it with you and cold, deserted places, young man?" O'Neill called down and he chuckled a little as he started to climb up.
"I guess they make me feel like home" he called back just before he came up over the edge. Surprisingly, O'Neil's hand shot out and helped to pull him up.
"Happy home you must have had" O'Neill comented just as he feelt Megan attatch herself around him. Without looking down he laid his good arm around her.
"You know we told Carter she couldn't keep hers" O'Neill said and he couldn't help but to laugh at the surreality off all this.
"Sir, how did you even… why did you even?" he asked, not for the life off him understanding how the general could just have woken up one morning and decided; "Hey, I'll go to the Pegasus galaxy and visit a crazy ice planet just for the heck off it".
"Well about a week ago on out weekly check ups. Weir starts this really crazy story about you showing up and killing 51 hostiles before taking off again with the best off her people's resignition letters lying on her desk" the General said and he couldn't help but to rearange his slinged arm under the jacket.
"So I said that if they found you, I'd come myself and get you back since you weren't even supposed to leave Atlantis from the beginning" He stared at the older man for a moment.
"Come again Sir?" he asked stunned.
"You weren't supposed to go back to McMurdo! Both me and general Landry was out when the order was sent from the vice president. We got back just in time to send a team to the planet you had dissapered to that happened to be culled. You've been MIA and presumed dead for a month now." The man was standing there and checking him over for a reaction, apparently pissed off by all this for some reason.
"Did you know that all those malfunctions was because you weren't in the city? Or that the missions dropped their effectivness by 35%? Or that no one is willing to turn on all those handy little things you keep leaving for them to find?" the older man looked slightly amused by all this.
"I told you, you were the best" Megan said from his side and O'Neill turned to her and smiled.
"And who might you be then?"
"Megan. So you want us back at Atlantis?" she asked and O'Neil nodded.
"Yep something like that. Your dad is prerry important there. Dr. Weir looked like she might even consider moving out here herself if he didn't come back"
"Sir isn't it better Caldwell stays in charge? I know that I never was the ideal officer you wanted …"
"Oh, for crying out loud! Caldwell might be a fine man but he can't run the city like you did and not to mention the idiot now in charge pff the Deadalus has her coming in late and losing cargo and God knows what else…"
"Even Kolya said your shoes were hard to fill if that's any better" Elizabeth's voice suddenly came from behind them. Stunned for the second time that day he twisted around to see not only Rodney and Teyla but a large part of Atlantis population.
"So this is where you've been hiding out" Elizabeth smiled as she walked forewards and hugged him.
"Elizabeth?" he asked stupidly.
"Have you lived out here long enough to forgett about us Colonel?" she asked clearly amused before she turned to Megan.
"Why didn't you say he was your father, young lady?"
"You didn't ask" Megan smiled cheekily. Both O'Neill and Elizabeth chuckled at her.
"Does this mean we finally can go home?" Lorne suddenly called out as he started to jum around to gather his warmth. He couldn't help himself.
"I told you you'd only visit me if you wanted to freeze to death!"
___
He looked out over the city from his and Elizabeth's troubling balcony as the others called it and was amazed by the warm ocean brese and the sparkling sunset.
"Yeah, how could almost you leave all this?" O'Neill asked from behind him and he turned to smile at the man.
"Thank you Sir. For not sending me to court marshial for disobeying orders" he said and closed his eyes fo fully enjoy the sun on his skin.
"Nah, If I had a court marshial for every time I disobeyed orders I wouldn't be even be in the military anymore!" the genral said as he joined him by the fence.
"That can't be completely true Sir" he argued and the man looked thoughtful.
"Yeah I guess you're right, I know too much. I'd be mopping the gate room floor for a living" he couldn't help the chuckle that escaped him.
"Ah there you go. So where's the girl, Kirk?"
"I think she's off watching Ronon beat the marines senseless, Sir" he answered simply. It was mutch to good t be back in the city. It feelt like it was all around him and welcoming him back. Back home.
"Drop the Sir why don't you? I'm not that old…out off curiosity why didn't you return to earth?" now slightly trubbeled he turend around to watch the other man.
"I guess that after everything that has happened here in this galaxy and every enemy I've meet, I just couldn't leave. And to go back to McMurdo to fly choppers after a jumper…"
"I know what you mean" the general said after a moment. "There is something about this city. It's calling somehow…"
"I had forgotten you had the gene Sir"
"So that's what it is? I thought is was McKay paying back because I left a lemon in his pillow…"
Inside he could see Elizabeth walking around the coralroot with a cup coffee in her hand. At her side walked Rodney and talked as fast as he could as he motioned at something at a computor.
"Do you know why the vice presient managed to get you transferred in the first place?" the general suddenly asked and stunned he turend to him.
"I just presumed that someone who knew me thought I wasn't fit for the job" he said with a shrug.
"No, It was a certain Patrick Sheppard that called in a number of favours to get 'Major Sheppard' transferred back to McMurdo. Guess he thought it was safer out there" For a moment he was stunned. His mind still and empty.
"I feel slighlt bad for the person that had to deliver the MIA letter to him" was all he finally said.
"Tell me abut it! But honestly, I can see that you made yourself a nice little family in this part of the universe" O'Neill said just as the door opened and Megan th rew herself around his waist.
"Daddy! Daddy! You have to see this! Uncle Ronon can throw people acctoss the room!" the girl said as she started to pull on his arm.
"Yeah I know General. Thank you" he said, holding back the five year old for a moment.
"Hmm now go on Colonel. Ronon can throw across the room" the older man said with a knowing smile. Then he let Megan drag him away, back to his real family and home.

The End
