Making You Better Chapter 11
It was two days later that John was feeling stronger. Michael hadn't tried to mess with his head, owing to the fact that Ronon kept stunning him almost as soon as he woke up. At least until Ronon was forced to rest.
John was up and about the ship. All the wraith seemed eager to assist him or do things for him. It was really weirding him out.
Todd was mostly an ever-present fixture wherever John was, unless he was needed elsewhere. Carson and Kenny took turns playing John's doctor because Carson couldn't be on-call twenty-four seven.
Kenny had just finished examining John with a wraith medical scanner when a drone suddenly burst into the room and stunned Todd's second-in-command.
“What the hell?!” John yelled, standing up.
He tried to back away but the drone grabbed John by his scruff and slung him over his shoulder. John struggled fruitlessly, yelling as the drone raced through the corridors. It stunned everyone they met on the way to the dart bay.
John kicked and screamed against the giant bulk of the over-sized drone. “Let me go, goddammit!”
The drone wraith took every blow John delivered in his struggles as though they were mere mosquito bites. A normal person would have been taken down by them many times over, but the wraith was like a brick wall.
He fought until he was finally lowered into another set of strong arms. He was turned around and pushed up against a wall, he got a look at his captor and was unsurprised.
“Michael,” John gasped, renewing his struggles, attempting to throw his elbows into any part of the hybrid he could but Michael had a hold of his wrists. He hated how much stronger this hybrid was than he was.
The look on Michael's face was one of relief and rage. “Now we'll be leaving,” Michael said, dragging John away by his wrists.
"No!" John shouted, trying to shout loud enough to be heard by someone, anyone. He dragged his feet, but Michael seemed to have little trouble like he was an adult dragging along a crying toddler. “Let me go, Michael!”
He watched at the drone wraith raised his stunner and aimed it at John. Obviously, Michael had control of this drone. Before the drone could fire, a stunner blast hit the drone in the back. John saw Ronon running furiously toward them.
Michael tried to continue dragging John away, but John dug his standard-issue boot heels in, trying to pry his wrists out of the hybrid's grip.
“You're coming with me!” Michael growled, yanking John's arms violently.
They were only a few feet away from the nearest dart when two stunners hit Michael and John fell back onto his ass, as Michael hit the ground. Before John could even think about getting up, he was lifted into Todd's capable arms.
The wraith commander silently carried John back to the queen's quarters and placed him gently on the bed. He took John's hands carefully into his own and examined his already bruising wrists. Todd sighed as he observed the damage. Carson was there a minute later.
“I wish Michael had given you the ability to feed,” Todd hissed.
John's eyes snapped up to Todd's. “Even if I could, I wouldn't do it!” he spat.
“Queens should never be marked in such a way,” Todd said, ignoring what John said. “You need to heal.”
"Not at the expense of someone else's life!" John said as Carson wrapped freshly cracked emergency ice-packs around his wrists, fixing them in place with ace bandages.
“The drone who was weak enough to be manipulated by the hybrid would make the perfect sacrifice,” Todd continued.
“You can't just kill the drone because Michael is an asshole!” John argued.
Todd left the room without another word.
“Todd!” John yelled after him, but he knew he wouldn't listen. He wouldn't be able to stop Todd from doing what he thought necessary.
“That was a close call, John,” Carson said. “I know Todd and his crew want you here, but I'd say the sooner we get you back to Atlantis the better.”
“Yeah,” John sighed in agreement. “I don't think it's gonna be that easy, though. Todd's acting weird. Normally, he's more flippant with me, but now he's being serious and showing a level of emotion I didn't know wraith could feel. And, somehow, he's got his whole crew feeling the same way. It's freakin' me out!”
The withered husk of the drone's body dropped to the floor in front of Michael's cell, where the hybrid had finally woken up. Michael simply raised an eyebrow at Todd, whose face was expressionless.
“A sacrifice made to heal the damage you've done,” Todd said with a hiss. “You hurt him again. How many times must he suffer, Michael?”
"He wouldn't need to suffer at all if he were to leave with me right now," Michael replied.
“That is never going to happen,” Todd said, turning to leave. “I must go heal the queen you've created.”
“So you do view him as a queen,” Michael observed. “I would have thought you would think him unclean, the way wraith view me.”
Todd turned back to Michael. "The brothers of this hive are not so narrow-minded as to turn our noses up at an oddity with such potential. We endeavor to change ourselves so we may do away with the need to feed. Who are we to turn away someone who is the personification of what we wish to be," Todd replied. "No matter how his physiology came about. He is one of us."
“But he feels like a queen, yes?” Michael pressed.
“Yes, however you made that so,” Todd said. “It doesn't matter. He won't be a queen for very much longer. As soon as he gives birth, he wishes to become as human as possible.”
“You can't undo my work!” Michael snapped. “It would kill him.”
“It's his choice,” Todd said.
Michael growled at Todd, stepping up to the cell door. “Give me my mate!”
Todd turned and walked away, smirking to himself when he heard Michael begin to scream and rave in his cell.
To be continued.
I know this must be frustrating, but comments do make me work faster! *grin*
