Spoilers: All hell breaks loose pts. 1 and 2
Notes: This is my first attempt at an Atlantis fic but I just couldn't resist the idea of Dean and John Sheppard in the same fic
Timeline: Supernatural two months after AHBL, Stargate Atlantis: Season three alternate universe. I tried to mesh it with the current plotline of Atlantis and it just didn't work, so it's AU.
Summary: Looking for a way to help his brother, Sam stumbles across some text that in the end sends them on a journey to another galaxy.
"Why is it I never get listened to in meetings any more?"Colonel John Sheppard grumbled as he led the way down a corridor in Atlantis.
Ronon smiled. "You do, but Rodeny just happened to try her patience more."
Sheppard glared at his friend slightly. "And yet you notice Rodney isn't the one down here? We got the Wraith breathing down our necks we don't need to be exploring some dark damp hallway just because we haven't."
Ronon opened his mouth to reply but Sheppard cut him off.
"And don't tell me that he could be right about something useful being down here because I don't want to hear it right now."
"Okay."
Suddenly the corridor floor buckled and shuddered violently nearly knocking both men off their feet.
"I didn't touch anything."Ronon stated as he steadied himself.
John nodded. "If it wasn't us what the hell was it?"
"Weir to Sheppard."Elizabeth Weir called over John's radio. "You two alright? Internal sensors went nuts up here for a minute."
"We're fine."Sheppard replied. "But the whole corridor shook. Nothing going on up there to cause it?"
"Not that we know of."Weir reported. "We're running scans now."
"We're going to forge ahead here and see if we can find the source."
"Alright. Be careful."
"Always. Sheppard out."
Sam awoke with a groan. Every nerve ending in his body was screaming in pain and to top it off he had a killer headache. He was lying on his back so he slowly opened his eyes to find darkness. Sam gingerly pushed himself to a sitting position as he looked around for his brother.
When his eyes finally adjusted to the darkness Sam saw a still form a few feet away.
"Dean?"Sam called as he crawled. They appeared to be in a narrow room of some kind. He'd worry about who brought them from the cave later.
Dean stirred and sat up holding his head in his hands. It was only then that he realized he wasn't sitting in water and that he wasn't soaking wet.
"Where are we and what the hell is going on?"
"Actually a better question,"John Sheppared stated as he leveled his gun and flashlight at the two young men sprawled on the floor before him. "Who are you and how did you get here?"
Dean struggled to his feet causing Ronon to jerk his weapon toward him. Dean instantly raised his hands toward the taller black man. "Easy, big guy, we're friends. Or at least I think we are. What are you two military?"
Sheppard blinked and then exchanged a curious glance with Ronon. It was clear these two had no idea they weren't in the States any longer. Let alone another galaxy.
"Colonel….."Ronon began warily. He'd never liked being in unknown territory. They were deep in Atlantis now. If these two were a threat getting them to the surface would reveal too much.
"Yeah,I got that."Sheppard replied as Sam slowly got to his feet coming to stand next to Dean.
"There weren't any military bases near by."Sam whispered to his brother as he backed up so there were only inches between them.
"You two still haven't answered my question."Sheppard stated as he took a step toward the younger man.
"That goes both ways."Dean cut in gaining a warning glare from his brother.
"Dean."Sam hissed hadn't they learned by now that antagonizing people or demons with weapons never ended well?
John turned toward the elder Winchester. "Okay,Dean,let's start from the top. Or do I really have to go down the whole who,what,why,where before I get an answer I like."
Dean narrowed his eyes he was really starting to not like this guy.
Sam sensed his brother's rising temper and took over the conversation. He finally had enough light from the Colonel's flashlight to read the name on the uniform.
"Look, Colonel Sheppard."Sam began quietly. "If we've stumbled on some top secret military maneuver it was accidental. If you just let us go we'll be on our way and we promise we won't tell anybody in Maine what you guys are up to."
Just then Ronon heard something. Something that he definitely didn't like. A cracking sound down here could only mean one thing.
"Colonel."
"Give me a minute."John's mind was spinning. If these two had been in Maine how the hell had they ended up in Atlantis? There were no records of Ancient technology there.
"Colonel."Ronon insisted as a rumbling sound reached his ears.
"What?"John replied slightly annoyed but then he heard it. He should have known by now that Ronon doesn't interrupt unless it's important.
"We have to move."Ronon replied urgently.
"One of these days I'll have a nice easy routine day."John said quietly as he looked at Atlantis's two newest residents. "How fast can you two run?"
"Pretty good, why?"Sam asked warily.
"Because however you two got here it caused a crack in the wall. And that crack is about to let in a hell of a lot of water. So we need to go, now."
