Shortly after Halling left Teyla headed for Weirs office, hopefully Weir had met Kiro and liked her if not as a new found friend but as the child of John and Teyla, I wonder how Ronon would like her? With her as a Wraith look alike, most likely not nicely. Teyla thought entering the control room just as Weir was leading John and Kiro into her office. Teyla joined them.
"Well, Kiro is it? what do you think of the city so far?" Weir asked as she took a seat behind her desk, Kiro remained standing.
"It is similar to where I was stasying before mother and father came for me to bring me home." Kiro said, her voice sounding more harplike then back in the Underdark. She then expained to Weir about the world she grew up on. "The Wraith call the Drow, Dark Wraith, as if they are a fallen version of their kind, in which the Wraith themselves are. Mathias and his wife Arivina took care of my at the request of the Ancestors." Kiro smiled a all but the same smile as John, "So, here I am."
"Well for one thing that does not explain why you look like a Wraith, but for your safety, I'll have Major Lorne assign two men to keep watch over you, one of the members of the Team might go what John calls, gun happy, if he sees you." Weir said, John smirked when Weir mentioned Ronon going gunhappy.
"Now what?" Kiro asked, looking up to her father from where she sat, ashe had a brown robe on rather then just the black and grey armor. Which showed more skin then her mothers sparring clothes every did or will.
"Any missions or the like?" John asked Weir. Somehow he just had to see his daughter in combat, he'd seen Teyla in combat and wondered if their fighting styles were the same. "or maybe even a recon mission to... oh say M6F-177?" he needed someway to get his daughter up to speed on things since she was born... ten months ago.
"Actually now that you ask that, This was sent to us by Laden Radeem." Weir handed John a plain white folder, "the gate opened a few minutes after you left to bring home your family, Laden's voice came through and said he wanted help with something, he said he wanted you asnd your team minus Ronon to see what this is about." John opened the folder, inside there were Genii style pictures, two were of the gate and the last was of the body laying beside the DHD.
After taking one look at the body John passed it back to Teyla to see her breath cought in her throat when she looked at the third picture, it was Athos, and the body was her father. Kiro noticed her mothers breathing change and asked tentively, "Mom? Are you OK?"
"I'm fine, only, When was this picture taken?" Teyla asked Weir, she set the thing on Weir desk so everyone in the office could see it, it was Teylas father beside the DHD, and he didn't look fed on either. he looked... shot
"Laden didn't say when the picture was taken other then he hoped you guys would know why and who put that body there by that gate." Weir said.
"Sounds like a walking mission." John said heading for the door as Kiro stood up. "do we go now?"
"It is a walking mission since you are going to be so near the stargate, and yes I think it best you three and Jumper Seven leave now, Lorne will only be there incase cover fire is needed." Weir said. "good luck."
"Lets go." John said he called to Lorne who was still in the Jumper bay but at Jumper One which was still undergoing repairs after being sunk thankfully within swimming distanst of the beach on the mainland. "Lorne this is Sheppard, We are heading to Athos and we'd like you to provide both a way out as well as cover should it be needed, take Jumper Seven"
"Yes sir" Came Lornes response, a few seconds later the Jumper headed out of the gate, and John asked Teyla as the team was waiting for the Jumper to head out before them, "You OK hon?" He also had noticed how Teyla was acting after seeing the picture, Something was up.
"I am fine." Teyla said She truely wasn't, inside she was a total wreck, seeing her fathers body beside the DHD on her homeworld had her wondering what had happened to him, she had not seen the man since she was a child. Somehow she was dreading deeply what she would find on her homeworld.
"Are you sure?" John asked, giving Teyla a look that said clearly, 'what the hell is going on?' Teyla tried to smile.
"I am not sure that I should go, it is my fathers body that was in that picture." Teyla explained, "I had not seen him since I was a little girl." John set a comforting hand on his wifes shoulder, then the team headed through the gate.
Steapping out onto Athos again, possibly for the second time since the Wraith came by that first time, Everyone noticed the body by the gate as well as heard Lornes voice over the radio, "Everything is clear sire, though the Jumper is picking up lifesigns that aren't yours, should we check those out?"
"Go ahead, we are close to the woods so if Anything comes for us we can hide fast" John said as Teyla went over to the DHD and turned her fathers body over, her eyes looking over his body for any signs of aging from a feeding.
After a minute Teyla let out a sigh, "he has not been fed upon, he was shot. By whom I donnot know." she said standing up, her eyes looking to her fathers body, it was clear that she was torn on what to do, she didn't want to fall apart in front of John or Kiro, nor did she want to keep her anger to whomever killed Tagan bottled up inside herself.
"Well don't worry, soon as Lorne gets back to us on the radio, we can have Beckett bring a body bag to transport your father back to the city." John said taking hold of Teyla, Just as Lornes voice came over the radio.
"Sir, the lifesigns are that of wildlife, nothing to worry about."
"Great, dial it up and lets head back home." John said, Lorne started dailing, then the gate dailed itself, "We have incoming!" John shouted taking Teyla behind the DHD and aiming his P90 at the 'gate, only to have Laden come out. "Well this is...Teyla!"
Teyla got up from behind the DHD and started running at Laden, somehow he knew what was going to happen as he fought hand to hand with Teyla for a few moments, it was a heated match, each trying to at least knock out the other when...
WHAM! Teyla was hit in the back by a Stunner and hit the ground, for the first time since John met Teyla, she had lost her cool.
Once Teyla was off him Laden looked to John, "what was that about?"
"Uh... it's nothing personal but I think Teyla blames either you or the Genii for killing this guy." John said pointing to Tagan.
"Well that is one way of putting it" Laden said brushing himself off, "so, I hear you are now married, is that right?"
"Nothing ever gets by the Genii" John muttered, as he nodded, "yup, I had to stun my wife to calm her down as you can see."
"Yes well, hopefully you can tell her that I had nothing to do with hen, if he was killed by a Genii weapon there is nothing I can do. We were trying t ofind other planets to trade with, this one was the first we went to, only when we got here we found him like he is." Laden explained as Teyla slowly came to, thankfully John had the thing on its lowst setting, which would knock her out for a minute or so.
She heard Laden's voice speaking of how they had gone to the planet in hopes of trading with those there, only that would be hard because there was no-one on the planet anymore. Standing up slowly she said to John, "radio Dr. Beckett, have him take my father back to the city, there is someplace I need to go to." she started walking towards the lake where the settlement used to be.
John radoed back then he Laden and Kiro followed Teyla, to the old City, to a house. Teyla entered the house, as she did so she pointed to a spot of red blood, it was fresh, "This appears to be new, it was most likely that of my fathers blood." she said before entering the house, the power was out, turning on her P90 light she looked around the darkened place, there was more blood in the city of the entery area, Laden brought up his light to show more things in the place, the floor was covered in dust, only in places did anyone notice the footprints.
Teyla made her way to a stairway and went up, the trail of blood seemed to go either up the stairs or down, upon entering a room she stared at what she saw, memories hit her as she watched herself as a child with her father in the place before the Wraith came, then she saw herself fleeing, leaving everything behind, and not looking back. She was startled when John arrived next to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "My father made a choice. He was still alive in this place, where I was born, and he made a choice that I would never make."
"Hey it's OK, come here." John took Teyla into a hug, she sobbed int ohis shoulder, "what was the choice he had to make?"
"He had to choose either to fight or die." Teyla said, "he had to choose either weapons or death. I think he chose the wrong choice." Teyla looked back at the room she was born in as well as grew up in. "I was born in this house." Teyla spoke up after a few tense minutes of nothing but quiet, save for the sounds of Kiro and Laden downstairs looking around.
