Notes: See part one
Summary: Desperate to save his brother Sam runs across a lead that eventually sends them on a journey to another galaxy.
"Hello?"Teyla called trying to figure out what was going on. "Can anyone hear me?"
Silence.
Teyla had already tried her radio and received only static.
Teyla had realized she was able to float in her captivity only when she discovered there was no ground to speak of below her feet. So now Teyla spread her arms out in a swimming motion in an effort to see how large the area was.
Her right hand connected with something partially solid. She looked in time to see something shimmer and then darkness returned. Teyla floated the opposite direction and her left hand touched the same partially solid feeling. Again a brief shimmer and then darkness.
Teyla had no idea if she was still on Atlantis. She could only hope she was. It would make her rescue easier.
Right now all she wanted was to see the city and her friends again.
Atlantis had become her home.
"Rodney, show me exactly where Teyla was."Sheppard ordered after an agonizing half hour had passed with nothing but the sound of clicking keyboard keys.
"Two feet to my right."McKay replied without looking up.
Sheppard followed Rodney's instructions. When he came to a stop John scanned the area looking first at the ceiling of the corridor, then the back wall, then the wall in front of him.
It was only then that a tile at eyelevel caught John's attention. He frowned as he studied the symbol, not one he recognized. Had shades of Ancient but not close to what he knew.
On a hunch Sheppard looked over at the Winchester brothers.
"Sam, can you come here for a second?"Sheppard asked.
Sam exchanged a curious glance with Dean before replying. "Sure."
Weir followed Sam over to Sheppard. "What do you have John?"
"Not sure."Sheppard replied as he looked over at the younger Winchester."Sam, do you recognize this?"
Sam studied the symbol. "I saw it in the vision."he closed his eyes struggling to remember what he saw."I think it means protection."
Dean frowned as he looked from the symbol to his brother and back again. "I know you're a walking encyclopedia, Sammy, but how you'd come up with that one?"
Sam ran a hand along the back of his neck. "All the research I did to get us to Maine. Guess I picked up on the language a bit."
"Colonel, don't move."Rodney ordered as he finally saw a flicker of the energy signature.
Sheppard instantly became a statute.
"Rodney?"Weir asked as she looked from one man to the other with concern.
McKay didn't respond his gaze intent on the screen as his fingers flew.
"Rodney."Sheppard called impatiently."You have to learn to give a little more info when you say don't move."
"I picked up the same energy signature I got when Teyla vanished."
Sheppard let out a breath. Then he reached forward with his right hand to touch the wall.
"John."Elizabeth warned.
"I think I'll be okay."Sheppard replied quietly as he reached out to touch the tile. "I have the gene remember?"
"We don't know what they……."Elizabeth began but broke off as the wall began to shake.
Sheppard took a protective step back but didn't let go of the tile.
Slowly the section of the wall with the symbol tile began to open and slide to the left.
John let go of the tile as Ronon came to stand next to him. Both men moved to the growing opening in the wall.
"Teyla?"John called as he clicked on his flashlight.
