Tuesday - Time Travel

[voksen.livejournal.com]

Happy Tuesday. Today we're going to mess with wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey things - more precisely, time travel! Are you going back to the future? Falling through a hole in the space-time continuum? Or maybe just going to a historical reenactment?

Whichever it is, just remember the community rules: five prompts at a time; you're welcome to post more when those are answered (please be kind to the code monkeys and don't go too crazy), no spoilers in your prompts til a week after release, warn in bold and leave space if there's a spoiler in your fic itself, and please use this format for your prompts (the last is for crossovers):

Weiss Kreuz, Schuldig/Crawford, the ritual sends Schuldig 15 years back in time
Supernatural, Sam/Dean, a hunt takes them into the middle of Pennsic
Star Trek/Star Wars, author's choice, 'a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away' has less meaning than you'd think when it comes to wormholes, rifts, or Q

(you might recognize some of the dialogue from the episode. ~smile~ Hope you enjoyed it.)

John walked through the Stargate into the Gateroom to find it dark and empty. He called out but nobody answered him. He walked up the stairs to the control room and saw that there was nobody at the consoles.

John looked around nervously as he activated his headset radio. “This is Sheppard. Anyone there?”

Still no reply.

John frowned and walked across to the door which led to the balcony outside. He looked outside and stared in amazement. He stepped into the balcony in a daze, not believing what he saw. There were no ocean and the city was surrounded by sand dunes and some parts of the city were buried in the sand.

John walked slowly back into the control room in confusion. He wondered what happened and decided to walk up the stairs trying to find anyone. He tapped his headset radio again, calling out to anyone who can answer him.

After wandering in the corridors, he came to a corridor where Rodney McKay suddenly appeared in front of him.

John jumped. “God, you gave me a fright!”

Then John blinked and looked at Rodney. He was shocked to see that Rodney wasn’t the Rodney he knew. This Rodney looked like he was in his 70s. His face was wrinkled and his hair gray.

“Rodney! You…you look old…” John stared at the older Rodney.

“Yeah…I’m a hologram.” Rodney told him. John shook his head and looked at Rodney again.

“Hologram?”

“Yeah, I tapped into the city's internal sensors, so I've got eyes and ears – so to speak.” Rodney explained.

John reached out to poke Rodney’s chest, only to find his hand going through Rodney. “This is strange…but what happened? I saw you earlier today…and now I find myself here with you…what happened?”

Rodney sighed and started to explain. It emerged that John was sent into the future – forty eight thousands years into the future after a solar flare connected with the wormhole travel.

“So…you’re dead? And everyone else?” John asked. Rodney nodded.

John shook his head in confusion. He asked if Rodney had a plan.

“Of course! I didn’t just work on all this to come forty eight thousands years into the future, just to have a chat with you.” Rodney rolled his eyes. “Come on…let’s go…”

John followed Rodney as Rodney explained that John was going to be put in a stasis chamber and wait for another 700 years to use the Stargate at a correct address and a solar flare and John should be sent back into the past to the correct time.

John rubbed the bridge of his nose and tried to take it all in. He asked about Teyla. He found out that Teyla was the key to all this. John needed to go back in time, to save Teyla from Michael, before the baby was born. Because once Teyla had the baby, she was killed and Michael took the baby. He destroyed everything and was in control of the Pegasus Galaxy.

John nodded, beginning to realize the responsibility he had on his shoulders. He also found out that both Sam and Ronon were killed in the war against Michael and his army.

Finally, John and Rodney arrived at the statis chamber. John looked at Rodney, his heart tightened at the thought of not being at his side, to support him through everything which had happened.

“I’m sorry you had to go through it alone.” John said quietly.

Rodney smiled sadly. “That’s okay – not your fault.”

“What about you?” John asked. “What happened?”

“Oh, you don’t wanna hear that,” Rodney replied, but John persisted.

“Oh, alright…after you left, I just fell to pieces…Atlantis wasn’t the same anymore. She was under new management. I-I left…”

John stared at Rodney in shock. He knew that Rodney loved working at Atlantis and couldn’t imagine him leaving and doing something else.

Rodney shrugged at John. “Atlantis wasn’t the same without you…”

The Last Man 2/2 (John/Rodney)

John and Rodney stared at each other and John leaned in, about to kiss Rodney and fell through Rodney, forgetting that he was a hologram.

John stood up, rubbing the back of his head, blushing. “I-I just…”

Rodney put a hand up. “I know.”

“When you go back, John, don’t let that stupid Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy stop you. Tell me – well, the other Rodney - how you feel…and don’t let him give you excuses, understand?” Rodney stared at John, wagging a finger. John gulped and nodded.

“Good, good…” Rodney grinned. “Let’s get you into the chamber.”

John stepped into the chamber and it was activated.

John stepped through the Stargate once again, and put his hands up immediately, as some Marines surrounded him with their P-90 pointed at him.

“Whoa…”

John looked around and realized that he was right back to where he was supposed to be. He saw Rodney among the crowd and gave a sigh of relief.

“It worked. You’re a genius, Rodney!”

Sam and the rest of the team looked at him in confusion.

After John planned a rescue mission to find Teyla with Sam and explaining what had happened, he went to Rodney’s quarters. Remembering the Hologram Rodney’s words, he wasn’t going to waste any more time. He cleared his throat and was about to hover over the button, when the doors opened.

“John?” Rodney was surprised to find John standing there. He expected him to get geared up and ready to go off world.

John glanced at Rodney and pushed him into the quarters, the doors closing behind him. He pulled Rodney in and kissed him furiously.

Rodney struggled to push him away, but John was strong and held him tightly as he continued to kiss Rodney, and eventually, Rodney gave in and kissed him back.

When they pulled apart, breathlessly, Rodney stared at John in shock. “What was that?”

“I’m not letting you go,” John simply said. Rodney blinked and looked at John, searching for something to help him understand. Slowly he began to realize that the future Rodney told John about his feelings for John.

His eyes widened and he gasped at John, who was grinning. Rodney pulled John in and kissed him hard and then let go.

“Thank you.”

Aw, I love this so much! It makes sense that Rodney would tell John to do that - I love plausible first times that I haven't read about a thousand times before :) Thank you!

Phew! I'm so pleased that you enjoyed this as much as I did writing it!

Yeah, I think that the future Rodney would tell John after all he has gone through to end up being alone and nobody to share with. The present Rodney probably won't make any moves so it was up to the future Rodney! lol :D

Thanks for the wonderful prompt! :)
