SGA FanFic: A Shadow in the Dark
Well, now this is the story I was talking about in an earlier post.
I finished the first five chapters (which already have been beta read). BUT I'm going to take some time updating them. I did not have time to sit down and write during the last weeks. So I want to make sure the rest of the story is written before I update to chapter 5. This way I wont leave you guys sitting on an unfinished story for too long.
Title: A Shadow in the Dark
Disclaimer: Just borrowing Stargate Atlantis and it’s inhabitants. I promise to return them only slightly damaged. ;-) Not mine, no money made.
Summary: A scientist on Atlantis is abused. John and his team have to find the attacker before he gets what he actually wants: Dr. Elizabeth Weir.
Warning: Rape! If your not comfortable with this kind of story, don’t read.
Rating: M (Language, Rape and probably some comforting)
Pairing: Sheppard/Weir, Lorne/OC

Spoiler: none

Chapter I
“Oh come on. You did not.”
Captain AJ Jacobs was smiling at Major Lorne certainly doubting his words.
“I did.” the Major persisted. “At that time it seemed like a good idea. Until the MPs showed up that is.”
“Oh my God,” AJ started laughing.
Today Lorne’s team was exploring the city while SGA-1 was on an off-world mission. They had paired up and enjoyed not having to expect someone shooting at them any second. Lorne and Jacobs where with Dr. Zelenka who was currently examining yet another laboratory.
Suddenly Lorne’s radio activated.
“Major, come in this is Collins.”
Lorne tapped his headset “This is Lorne.”
“Major we kinda lost Dr. Hansen.”
“You what?” Lorne noticed that Jacobs tried to reach the missing scientist on her radio.
“She was with us. Smith and I just turned our back on her for seconds while we helped out Dr. Yakota. When we were done, Hansen was gone.”
“Sir, I can’t reach her,” AJ told him. “Her radio seems to be dead.”
“Okay, you two stay with Yakota. Jacobs and I are going to find the Doctor.”
“Yes, Sir. Collins out.”
Lorne contacted the gate room and made them look for Hansen with the lifesigns detector. Hansen would be the only person being on her own in this part of the city. Lorne swore himself to make sure the good doctor would not wander off by herself again once they found her. And if all that kept her from doing it again was that she did not have to endure the lecture he would give her about how dangerous it could be again than that was enough for him. Babysitting scientist was only fun as long as they listened to what you said.
“Major, she is just one floor above you.”
“Ok, thank you.”
“Zelenka, the Major and I will go get Dr. Hansen. You just stay here and don’t leave this room. Okay? I don’t want to have to come looking for you as well.” Jacobs told him.
“Do not worry, I am busy here anyways,” the Czech replied.
Once they where on the next level, they had to switch on the lamps on their P90s.
“Isn’t this area supposed to be lighted?” AJ asked, seeing Lorne lift his weapon was answer enough.
Silently they went further into the dark corridor. Something was definitely wrong here. When they turned around the next corner the light of AJ’s P90 caught the missing scientist.
“Dr. Hansen” she said. Taking in the appearance of the woman in front of her, the soldier’s heart started racing. Hansen’s hair was out of her usual tight knot. It was tangled and looked as if she’d just gotten out of bed. There was blood on her lower lip. She pressed the top of her uniform to her front but it was obvious that it had been ripped open.
Her gaze was dull and she did not seem to notice her surroundings. She squinted when the light of Lorne’s P90 blinded her. Then she focused on the Major and her eyes widened with terror.
“Bitte, lassen Sie mich in Ruhe. Bitte!”
Lorne retreated some steps, since it was obviouse to him that she was afraid of him even if he did not actually understand her. AJ slowly closed the distance to the other woman.
“Dr. Hansen, beruhigen Sie sich. Es ist alles in Ordnung. Niemand wird Ihnen etwas tun, Sandra.“
She replied in the woman's native language to calm her down.
While AJ took care of the terrified woman, Lorne contacted his team via radio. “
“Everybody fall back to the transporter. We have a situation here. Dr. Zelenka, stay where you are. We’re going to pick you up on our way back.”
***
AJ was pacing up and down in the infirmary. She was waiting for Dr. Biro to finish Hansen’s examination. Beckett had left this case to her after he realised what state the scientist was in. Although it seemed obvious, not only by the woman’s appearance but also by her reaction towards Major Lorne, that she had been abused, AJ needed to know for sure. If it was true they had a big problem.
The door to the infirmary opened and Dr. Weir came in.
“Captain,” She greeted. “Major Lorne told me what happened. How is she?”
“I don’t know, Ma’am. Dr. Biro is still examining her.”
They waited in silence together.
Shortly thereafter Colonel Sheppard’s team came to the infirmary for their obligatory check after off-world missions. While Beckett checked on his team John stood beside AJ and Elizabeth.
“Major Lorne told me that we might have a situation here.”
“Dr. Hansen was attacked while we were exploring the uninhabited parts of the city, Sir.”
AJ reported.
“We have to talk to her as soon as possible. Would you take care of that, Captain?” Dr. Weir asked.
“Yes, Ma’am.”.
Finally Dr. Biro emerged from the closed curtain which surrounded the bed Sandra Hansen lay in.
“She needs rest. But she said she needs to talk to you and the Colonel. It seems to be very important to her. Just let her say what she has to tell you and than leave her alone.”
“With all due respect, Doctor, we have to find out what happened...” AJ interrupted.
“...She does not know anything. I talked to her while I examined her. He grabbed her from behind and pushed a towel over her mouth and nose. It must have been soaked in anaesthetic because she lost consciousness right away. So whatever she can tell you can wait until tomorrow, Captain.”
AJ looked at Dr. Weir who nodded.
“Take your team and make sure the area where she was attacked is searched.”
“Yes, Ma’am.” Radioing Lorne and the rest of the team, AJ left the infirmary and headed to the gateroom.
Elizabeth and John went over to Hansen’s bed. While Elizabeth stood right next to the bed John kept his distance. He did not want to freak the terrified scientist out.
“The doctor told us that there is something you want to tell us,” Elizabeth said softly.
“He... I’m supposed to deliver a message,” the other woman finally managed to say. “I’m... I’m supposed to tell you that...” tears started to run down her face. “Next time...” she got out between sobs finally focussing on John. “Next time it’s gonna be her.”
Elizabeth starred at the other woman before finally meeting Johns eyes. The obvious concern in his eyes made her stomach turn.
