Author Note: The drabbles below are Dark Matter / Stargate: Atlantis crossovers. For those not familiar with Stargate: Atlantis, it might be interesting to note that Dr. Elizabeth Weir and Commander Truffault are played by the same actress. It will definitely help to know that Rodney and Calchek are played by the same actor.


Crossover - Stargate: Atlantis | Post-Season One

Lost

"I'm Dr. Elizabeth Weir, Commander of Atlantis. I demand to know what's going on."

Commander Truffault regarded the other critically. "Atlantis, you say? As in, the lost city of Atlantis?"

Weir ignored the question and turned toward the exit. What a waste of time this had been.

"Mikkei Combine is always eager to help people who are down on their luck." Truffault placed a hand on Weir's arm.

"We'd be happy to lend our vast resources to assist you in finding your way home." Truffault's grip tightened, and Weir realized this was not an invitation that could be easily declined.


Double

Sheppard and Ford exchanged a glance and tried to keep from laughing.

Rodney let out a disgusted sigh. "That guy is such a tool. Why do we even deal with him?"

"Seriously?" Ford snickered.

"Doesn't Calchek seem… familiar to you?" Sheppard asked.

"What? No. Okay, so maybe there's a slight physical resemblance. But did you see how that guy was dressed? Ostentatious, much? And it takes him what, like, a year, to get a thought across?"

Sheppard turned toward Ford. "Aren't you glad I invited you along?"

"Very much, sir. I really needed that." Ford broke into a broad grin.


Vengeance

"I thought I might find you here."

She looked up as he approached, but said nothing.

"Do you know who I am? I certainly know who you are, Rebecca."

"My name is Two."

"My apologies. I don't care for the moniker the humans gave me either."

"I'm human."

"My apologies again." He smiled as he took a seat across from her. "It seems you and I have a lot in common."

"Such as?"

"Both of us were created by and then rejected by the humans." Two stared impassively as he continued. "And we're both finally ready to strike back."


Hidden

"You seem to be confused. I'm not preparing to 'strike back' against anyone, Michael."

"So you do know who I am."

They sat in silence until he continued, "Which one are you trying to protect? The one who turned you into the Galactic Authority? Or the one who left you for dead to reclaim his throne? Or the one who abandoned you, when he found out his wife was in fact not-so-conveniently still alive?"

"What do you want from me?"

"I know. It's the little one. The one with turquoise hair, whereabouts unknown. To most."

"You know where she is?"


Control

"I know many things."

"If you can't tell me where Five is, this conversation is over."

"Funny thing about humans, no matter what galaxy they are from. They are always trying to control that which they do not understand. They even have a saying about it, one they never seem to heed: 'Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons.'

"You and I could be great allies. Together we could teach the humans their place in the universe, and save who knows how many others from their meddling.

"My question for you is: Are you a human or a dragon?"


Author Note: Control contains part of a quote borrowed from Suzanne McMinn: "Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup."
