Guardian
They've had one miracle already. There's no time to wait for another.
There's no time for goodbyes, for anything except what he does best. One last flight, straight down the throat of a Wraith ship. He'll destroy it -- and himself -- and save the city.
He's faced death enough times to know there's no white light, no angel to make this lonely flight with him. Just him, the enemy armada and the near-silent radio.
(He's not afraid to die.)
Then, suddenly, he's teleported to safety and takes the breath he didn't expect to take.
There was an angel, after all.
