Kiro led the way out of the house, as she did so both Teyla and John saw less people outside in the Plaza then when they arrived., most likely eating or making dinner. John thought as Kiro led the way down a path that over looked the city.
When he saw the place in full John let out a wistle, "that looks like..."
"... Atlantis? Did we not just come from there?" Teyla asked looking to John, the pair traded a look then looked to Kiro.
"What? You huys know your way around already?" Kiro asked.
"Well, we did come from a place that looks like this, tell you the truth I wonderif this place has a con..." John was cut off when Kiro picked up what he said.
"You mean the chair? the one that is used for defensive use only? Tales were told of the city once flying, though I was unsure if such things." Kiro said, then seeing the looks on her parents face she asked, "it is true is it not? The city can fly?"
John nodded, "yup, and your mom flew it, only not this city, I don't think this one would want to go anywhere."
Teyla spoke up before Kiro could send a retort Johns way, "how old are you? Like John said we were expecting a young child, not a fully grown woman such as yourself."
"Mother, you had me ten months ago, right afterwards Morgan Le Fay took me to the Ascended Plane, there I aged to the ages of a young teen to fathers people's terms, on Earth I would be near the age of fourteen" Kiro said.
Teyla smiled, "you are near the age of Jinto, Hallings son."
"Which is actually kinda confusing, Teyla, when you Ascended how long were you in the Ascended Plane?" John asked, a thought coming to his mind like a bullettrain.
"Well, from the time I left you to the time I entered your dream was three days, then from the time I left you in your dream again another two days passed before I returned on the Hive Ship." Teyla said, the family had stopped at a table to sit and talk over things past.
"So time passes faster in the Ascended Plane? So if you were gone for five days is total, that was only thirty-eight hours, from when you died to when I found you on that Hive." John said, he sat down on a chair, it was clear he was confused.
"When I left you and Ascended, it was three days while Ascended until I could go to you in your dream, then two more days passed before you found me and I returned to you." Teyla explained. She'd keep the dream she had from Kiro, knowing that the child might already know of it.
"OK I'm stumped now, That wouldf make you way older then us" John said turning to Kiro, "If five days pass for every one day on Atlantis..."
"The Ancestors are very good at keeping tack of time, somehow they sped up my aging proccess they taught me a lot of things, some things I still am confused about." Kiro said, "who is Adra?"
"Uh... uh... Adra uh..." John stuttered over how to tell Kiro that Teyla killed the Orici, he looked to his wife.
"Adra is dead." Teyla said calmly, John breathed a sigh of relife as Teyla spoke. "She came to Earth ten months ago, she and I fought, she died, and Earth is free now."
"You fought the Orici? And lived? So now what? Red gave you a mission to see through and you did, now what?" Kiro asked.
"Well, your mom fought Adra and just barely walked away with her life." John told Kiro, he explained the whole thing of Teyla and Adra fighting, then him and Ronon going for Teyla. "again Adra is stone dead now, and your mom is to be thanked for that."
"Indeed." Kiro said as Teyla nodded, she had been in the Infirmary for two months since that event.
"So, enough about the past and what is this place?" John asked looking around.
"This is the Underdark, where the Ancestors had allies against the Wraith, this is also the Wraith homeworld, there were stories of a Ring in space near this planet, I've never seen the surface." Kiro said.
"Underdark sounds a lot like a game type I heard of back on Earth, but then this is Pegasus, so I guess D&D is out the window" John said remembering a game setting for the world famous role playing game system, then he thought something different, "How many battles have you seen, i mean, think about it, you have on just enough armor, if that is what it is, to keep certain parts of your body safe... I'm not gonna ask if Red had been in your moms closet" John smiled then said "I mean, the way your... armor is made, looks alot like your moms sparring clothes." John was then kicked in the leg by Teyla. "Which is very nice looking by the way." he spoke fast as to avoid making Teyla mad enough to slap him, or possibly shoot him.
"Everyone has at least some armor on, even if only a small ammount" Kiro said.
"Well, I think youi are most likely wearing the smallest ammount." John said leaning back in his chair, and promtly hitting the ground as Teyla snaked a foot around one of the legs and pulled, "what did I do?" John asked from the ground just as mass panic broke out, "that can't be good" He got to his feet and had to turn the table onto its side as Wraith opened fire. "We have incoming!" he yelled getting behind the makeshift bunker.
"I wonder what they want?" Kiro said leaning against the table as stunner blasts het the ground around them, along with hitting the table.
"I think the question should be who they want, not what" John said firing at a group of Wraith that fell from his shots.
"I agree" Teyla said.
The Wraith headed for the house where Kiro had been staying, only to get shot in the facess as crossbow bolts shot out of every window and door, Kir ostood up and took aim with a very small crossbow.
"Kiro what are you doing? Nevermind" John asked, then he slammed his last full clip into his P90 and fired again. He watched as Kiro fired, the bolt from the vey small crossbow impacted with such speed it knocked the Wraith onto the ground, stone dead. "good aim." John commented
"I think we should leave now." Teyla said as the Wraith turned and headed their way, Kiro fired her last shot, and said, "this way." She took off for a tunnel, John and Teyla right behind. Kiro was fast, which made it kind of hard for John and Teyla to keep up.
Teyla screamed something when a stunner blast passed her and hit Kiro right between the shoulderblades, knocking to to the ground, what she screamed John figured was something between their daughters name and a battlecry. John ran forwards and scooped up Kiro, just as he was hit from behind, he tried to fall so Kiro would be ontop of him only he ended up ontop of both Kiro and Teyla as Teyla made the mistake of turning around to charge at the Wraith.
Everything went black as Teyla watched the fight betwen the Underdark dwellers and the Wraith from the surface, she felt herself get grabbed by a Wraith, she could niether move nor speak.
A few hours later she felt a hand on her, opening her eyes she looked around, she was in a cell on a Hive again, only Kiro was right next to her. John was nowhere to be seen. "Kiro?"
Kiro smiled, "how are you feeling?"
"I feel sick." Teyla said slowly sitting up, "Where are we?"
"On a Hive, where else would we be?" Kiro said, she had dropped her weapon when she ran out of bolts, but then she did have a few to spare.
"Where is... your father?" Teyla asked looking around the cell.
"He was gone before I woke, I had been up now for more then a hour before you were dragged in." Kiro said.
Teyla felt over herself, she didn't feel older, nor did she sound older. "Who dragged me in here?"
"I am unsure mother, I know only that a Wraith with short hair brought you here, then left, he hit me in the head before opening the door to drop you in here." Kiro said getting up to look outside the cell.
"Wraith with short hair, you mean Michael brought me here? Did he say anything of me being fed from?" Teyla asked looking to her daughter, in the dimm light of the cell and the hallway outside Kiro looked like one of the Underdark Dwellers, only Teyla knew they had to have a name for their race, "What does those that dwell in the Underdark call themselves?"
"Well, the Wraith have many names for them. Darro, Dark Wraith, though they themselves call themselve Drow, I donnot know what it means." Kiro then smiled as she looked to Teyla, "As father would say, what a way to meet me."
Teyla smiled and just hugged Kiro. Now she only wanted one more person and she'd be happy, only he was not there. Where was John?
