Hey guys and girls. Here's the next one. Little bit of information to help you
Major – Major Sheppard from the other reality
Colonel – Colonel Sheppard from normal
Rodney or McKay – Rodney McKay from normal
Sarah or Doc – Sarah McKay from other reality
Disclaimer: don't own anything, if I did they would never sleep they'd been filming 24/7. Again, good thing I don't own them.
The next morning found Doctor Weir, both Sheppard's, both McKay's, Doctor Zelenka and Doctor Beckett in the briefing room. Carson had told Weir that he should be nearby to keep an eye on Sarah McKay, since he hadn't wanted to discharge her so soon and Rodney had invited Radek, something about a theory. It was a tense way to start the day. Sarah and Rodney had met for the first time with them both conscious. There was a bit of confusion over people calling 'McKay' so after arguing with each other over who would get to be called McKay, Colonel Sheppard had suggested Rock, Paper, Scissors, the winner gets to be called McKay, the loser Doc or Doctor. It was interesting to watch them drawing quite a few times before deciding on a coin toss.
Flashback
"Why should she get to call it, it's my name and I'm the right one for this reality, so it should be up to me" Rodney strongly protested. Colonel Sheppard glared at him to shut him up, "Ladies first Rodney" Sarah put on a smug face and called "Heads"
God, the smug look on Rodney's face when it had landed tails. McKay was a bad winner and was also a bad loser, so you can imagine everyone's horror at having to put up with a McKay who had one and a McKay who had lost, at the same time; it was too much to take.
Sarah hadn't said a word to anyone, just cuddled a cup of coffee and munched on a power bar, bit difficult with one arm in a sling. Weir had explained to Radek about why everyone had been giving him funny looks all day and Major Sheppard had been sending resentful looks at Colonel Sheppard from the moment he sat down, probably for giving one McKay something to be smug about and leaving him with the sulking other.
Weir took in the faces of those a round the table and took a deep breath, "Why don't we get started? It would seem you have somehow crossed into our reality and we need to find away to get you back before… what was it called Rodney?"
Sarah broke in "Temporal entropic cascade failure. Not something I'm looking forward to so why don't we just end this pointless meeting now, dial the gate back to P17-186, find a way to reverse what caused us to transcend into this alternate reality and everyone can just get on with their lives. I don't know about your McKay but I have a lot of work to do especially since we're short of staff."
Weir looked over to the other members of the meeting. She was use to McKay's temper when he wanted to get his own way or hadn't but this was taking it to a new level.
Rodney answered her silent look for help, "She's right. While I would like time to study the nanite technology, dialling up the planet is the quickest and easiest way to get them home."
"Wait a minute, something big exploded on that planet before you came through, not to mention you had the wraith on your ass, it is even safe." Colonel Sheppard asked.
"Actually I would like to know what happened after I stepped through the gate, what took you so long stepping through?" Major Sheppard asked Sarah McKay.
Flashback
"Dial it up, I'll cover you." Shouted Sheppard. "My GDO must have come off in the bush!" Shouted McKay. "For the love of… I'll dial the gate, you cover my six!" Ordered Sheppard. He ran to the gate and started to enter the address. McKay swung her P-90 round and crouched down by a large rock near the gate. Sheppard finished entering the address. "Come on!" He shouted to McKay. A dart started to make another pass. He aimed his gun and fired at the dart. Smoke started to come out from where he had shot. The dart fell off in the other direction. "Come on!" He yelled. He entered his GDO code. He turned to run into the gate. Sarah stood up to run to the gate, she could hear the whine of the wraith dart coming to make another pass. There was no way she could make it to the gate, it was too close. It would easily be able to swoop her up. She swung her P-90 round and let off as many bullets as she could; praying her aim was good enough. What she hadn't of counted on was that this would make the wraith a little pissed off with her. Instead of trying to cull her, it had decided she wasn't worth the damage that had been done to its dart. He started to fire at her position. "Oh shit!" Forgetting about everything else, she put everything into running at the gate. She should have taken track at school instead of piano! Just a few more seconds! She threw herself at the event horizon, feeling the heat from the last blast on target…
…next thing I remember is waking up here" She finished.
Re-read the whole story and found so many spelling mistakes. Hope this is a bit better now. RP out.
