When John and Teyla arrived in Weir office they noticed Jack O'Niell, Col Caldwell, and Michael in the room, Teyla though didn't look towards the Wraith, prefering to try and ignore the being as best she could. Was her dream because of Michael?
"Well, to what do we owe this party?" John asked seeing Caldwell, Mike and Jack, "Anything we should know before we do our normal daily sparring match?" John asked, he was really faking it as he wanted to get Teyla to Carson soon as he could.
"Actually your time at the gym will have to wait Col, Michael, if you would begin at the start of things to explain what you told me. I'm sure something would come of this." Weir said to Michael.
"Explain what?" John asked looking from Weir to Michael.
"On your homewotld there is a group known as the Trust, they ahve joined with another group, known to a few as the Mafia, perhaps you know of them?" Michael said.
"Yeah we know them but why them?" John asked.
"That was my question. only thing being at the prison wherein this guy was working had a few Mafia hitmen in the place on death row, only when they saw Mike they caved in and told him of what was going on between the SGC and the Trust, and how the Trust are sided with the Mafia now." Jack explained.
"Then why call us?" Teyla asked confused, the last time she had encountered the Trust they had taken her prisoner
"Well that question was strange then answered as well as the prison Mike works at is just up the road from the SGC so naturally he came to us, therefore we were the first to find out that the President is also waiting for you and wants to hear what you think we should do as the Trust had planted a bomb here a few years ago" Jack said, Caldwell gave him a look, but Jack didn't catch it so it really just bounced around the room.
"So, where do we come in on this?" John asked.
"Your wife was taken by the Trust, at the time they thought they had leverage against the SGC and the president, at the time of course, then things snowballed when you and I went to get her back, things fell apart at the same time in Washington when the White House was attacked." Jack said.
"Wait, why weren't we told of that attack then?" John asked.
"Because we were too busy getting your wife back and containing the Wraith threat to Earth at the time." Weir explained, "we also had the Ori to deal with as well, for which many thanks are in order to you Teyla for helping us with that."
Teyla merely nodded, still trying to avoid eye contact with Michael. it was not that she didn't trust the Wraith, but it was more that she was thinking of the dream she had that night.
"There is also the matter of the Trust tasking over Bermuda again, didn't the Prime Minister already retake the place in force?" Weir asked Michael.
"There was mention among my fellow workers at the prison, some of them wondered what had happened, but then none of them had asked anything other then that so I only know so much. Also there is a new leader in the Trust ranks, she is the one that made the shakey stalemate between your leader, and the Trust, which is currently to my knowledge based on the same Ilse." Michael said.
"So we are going to have to pack some scuba gear I take it?" John asked.
"Nope, just a Jumper, and a air take and a few drones." Jack said, "we leave in five minutes so get your baggage, preferably your wife and kid and lets go!"
"Now?" John and TGeyla both asked confused.
"No not now more like ten minutes ago, come on letys get going there are a few things you need to know as well, the Trust took up residence on Bermuda, the leader rebelled against the United Kingdom because hey it was the Trust, the Trust won but lost their leader, her name was Jo Radii, she was hung." Jack told him.
"Ok that's bad because if the Trust think that Teyla is their leader because she looks like this dead person... I'm not going to even let Teyla go to the bathroom alone." John said, if that was the case he was going to do just that. even if he had to dress in drag.
"Don't worry about that I'd worry more over your kid she'd raise wonderment if we were going to the White House, which we aren't we are going only to the SGC and the President is waiting." Jack said.
Ten minutes later the four headed for Earth...
After arriving at the SGC Kiro looked around in confusion as to where they were, John didn't even try to explain that they weren't in Pegasus anymore, because they weren't. Teyla though felt kinda sick at being there, mostly because she had killed a Wraith Hive Queen right there on that very ramp.
Jack stepped forwards towards the President, "sir, may I present Col John Sheppard, his wife Teyla, and their daughter, Kiro. kids, this is President Henery Hayes"
"Sir" John said, Teyla and Kiro merely nodded a hello, taking their cue for John who seemed at odds arounf the President for some reason. "You called us?"
"I did Col Sheppard, I also read over your file as well and I think a premotion is in order for you as well." Hayes said as the group started walking towards the briefing room, "but first off I want to tell you about the stalemate we currently have, the British don't know about the Trust like we do, they only know small things, like those two bright lights in the night sky a few years back"
"Yeah I remember those sir" Jack said.
"And instead of getting court martialed you got hailed as heros, that was worth it." Hayes said.
"So why are we here?" John asked, if he was getting premoted why not do it at Atlantis?
"Well, I need your help, you had the most insight to fly different things while on active duty in the Artic, the Trust know of the base and the Ancient made weapons storehouse area. I need you to go and get a resupply of drone weapons for the only Jumper on Earth, they used the last one against the Trust before our stalemate was setup." Hayes reported
"So what do we do to get these Drones for the Jumper, you need McKay to load them on, he knows mostly everything about the Jumpers, me I only know how to fly them, make them unseen, as well as fire the weapons, but to reload them..." John told him before getting cut off.
"I know what you mean Col, I know which is why I chose you and your family, simply put you have the know how to use such a weapon even without the Jumper, all you need is that chair to reload the Jumper weapon pods." Hayes said.
"Other then that what did you want me here for?" John asked, reminding Hayes of the ten months thing John had been told about.
"Oh that... Jack didn't tell you?"
"Tell me what?"
"You are a general now." Hayes said opening a small box on the beriefing room table and taking out the medals and ribbins inside it, "but first off, your rank moves up one to full colonel, then from there, to one star General" haye said handing John the box to look at, "congratulations... General, John Sheppard."
