Making You Better Chapter 14

“Atlantis, this is Major Lorne. Do you copy?” Lorne said into his earpiece as they got close enough to the planet. The wraith's sensors had picked up on the presence of the Daedalus in orbit as well.

“Lorne, this is Weir. It's good to hear your voice,” Elizabeth responded. “We were beginning to worry. How did the search go?”

“We found Colonel Sheppard,” Lorne reported with a smile on his face and in his voice. There were some soft whoops to be heard over the radio from Atlantis. “There are some details that can't be shared over the radio. But I can let you speak to the man himself.”

With that prompt, John pressed the earpiece in his ear. “Atlantis, this is Sheppard,” he said, which was met by more, louder whooping and clapping on the other end.

“John!” Elizabeth said with a sigh of relief. “Oh my god, are you okay?”

“Um,” John paused, hesitating. “We'll decide the definition of 'okay' when you've seen me.”

“What does that mean, Colonel?” Caldwell's voice was heard over the air.

“It means I was the reluctant guest of a mad scientist for, apparently, over a month,” John said, voice dripping with sarcasm. “What do you think it means?”

“I think it means you could be compromised, Sheppard,” Caldwell commented.

John growled softly to himself. “We'll decide what 'compromised' means when you've seen me, too. Right now, I just want to be back in my city with my friends, eat some real food, and sleep in my own bed. Can I do that without having you up my ass the second I get there?”

“Yes, John, you can,” Elizabeth answered before Caldwell could.

“Thank you,” John sighed. “I will give you a heads up, though.” He paused for a very long moment, hesitating again, causing Elizabeth to prompt him into continuing.

“John?” she asked.

“I don't really... look like myself, at the moment,” John said. “But Carson says he can undo Michael's handiwork. Well, most of it.”

“What kind of handiwork?” Caldwell asked.

“Please refer back to the response to your last comment, Stephen!” John snapped. “I've been at Michael's mercy! You know, the crazy wraith hybrid with a bad habit of experimenting on people?”

“Don't argue, gentlemen,” Elizabeth interrupted. “Let's just be glad that John's back and in one piece.”

John's reception was met with mixed feelings and reactions. Most were glad he was home safe, but a few shied away as he was walked to the infirmary by an entourage consisting of his team, a few marines and few wraith, including Todd.

Lorne had broken off to deliver his report to Weir and Caldwell. Once he'd taken a seat in the conference room, the Major went into detail about the events leading up to John's rescue and the details of the rescue itself, then onto the things that happened on the hive ship afterward.

“You can say for certain that's the real Lieutenant Colonel John Sheppard and that he hasn't been brainwashed or anything?” Caldwell asked. “You did say he developed telepathic abilities. For all we know, Michael could be controlling him like a damn marionette.”

“I don't think Michael can,” Lorne said speculatively. “If he could control John, he would've done it during one of his escape attempts. And they were real escape attempts before you throw that out there. He almost succeeded, or rather he came uncomfortably close. He had the Colonel in the Jumper, the two of them fighting. He could have just taken him and flown out of there if he could control him, but he didn't.”

“Okay,” Caldwell sighed. “What happened during their fight?”

“Michael got the upper hand, unfortunately. I guess we're sort of lucky that he decided to... celebrate his newfound freedom before trying to leave the hive.” Lorne cleared his throat, not wanting to put what happened to John into words.

“Care to elaborate?” Caldwell asked

Lorne sighed heavily. “Michael raped the Colonel after he'd wrestled him down in the Jumper,” Lorne said softly.

Elizabeth sat back in her chair, slacked-jawed, while Caldwell just went quiet.

“Oh, my god,” Elizabeth breathed. After a few moments of silence, she continued with a question. “Why?”

“That's where things get complicated,” Lorne responded slowly. “It has to do with what Michael did to him in that lab. It's completely insane, and hard to believe, but long story short, Colonel Sheppard is a hermaphrodite now.”

“What?!” Elizabeth exclaimed, her face a mask of shock.

“What does that mean, exactly?” Caldwell asked.

“A hermaphrodite is someone with both male and female genitalia,” Elizabeth answered. “Typically, it's a male who’s been turned into a female. There are hundreds of creatures in the animal kingdom that can do it naturally, usually based on necessity. Why would Michael do this to John?”

“We don't know,” Lorne said. “He's been pretty tight-lipped about everything he did and why. He does, however, keep asking for his 'mate'.”

“He thinks John's his mate?” Elizabeth asked. “Wraith don't have mates, nor do humans. Why would a human-wraith hybrid?”

Lorne shrugged. “I have no idea. You'll have to talk to Todd and Dr. Beckett about that. They seem to have some theories.”

“Okay,” Elizabeth said. “Is there anything else we need to know?”

Lorne hesitated again. “Todd and his crew want John to stay with them and be a queen for their hive. Also, apparently, Michael has raped the Colonel more than once, because he's pregnant.”

Silence fell over them once again.

“Colonel Sheppard is very conflicted about the whole thing, and Michael is practically losing his mind trying to escape and take the Colonel with him because Todd went ahead and told him that the Colonel is pregnant. I don't know why,” Lorne continued. “Dr. Beckett has offered to terminate it for the Colonel, but Todd is being very resistant to giving Colonel Sheppard that option. It's all very complicated and I don't know what to make of most of the situation. You need to talk to Colonel Sheppard about this, not me.”

Elizabeth was silent, apparently taking in all the information. Caldwell was tapping his fingers on the table in irritation.

“What am I supposed to do with this situation?” Caldwell asked them both, turning his head between Lorne and Weir. “As far as I'm concerned, John Sheppard is compromised and should be detained.”

“I think we should just keep Michael detained, and see how things play out for John,” Elizabeth decided. “He'll have to be removed from active duty anyway, but I really don't think he should be imprisoned by his friends and colleagues, especially after he's just been liberated from Michael.” She looked directly at Colonel Caldwell, who sighed and threw his hands up.

“Fine,” Caldwell said. “But if this blows up in our faces, I am not taking the blame.”

“That's fine,” Elizabeth said, standing up and pushing her chair in. “This meeting is over. I need to go talk to John.”

To be continued.
