Chapter 2
Remember when you
were a kid and your butt used to heat up just before you got a whooping? Lorne
could feel every muscle in his body tense from the livid look on John
Sheppard’s face. Shit…He was hoping to have a few more days before he
faced Sheppard. Lorne liked Sheppard, respected him and most importantly
believed in him. He would follow the man into Hell if he had too. Sheppard was
loyal and protective of everyone he knew but when it came to a certain Athosian
female…his persona was beyond reproach.
“Sir…”
“…we need to talk
in private, now,” Sheppard didn’t wait for a reply just continued on past him,
Lorne obediently followed. They found themselves in a fairly secluded area on a
balcony that over looked the city itself. Sheppard leaned against the railing
no doubt to gather his wits. Lorne stood at ease with his hands behind his back
and waited for the third degree that was sure to come any moment. He thought
back to earlier in the week…
“Have you guys seen
the new group of female bodies?”
Lorne smirked and
shook his head but did not say anything as he listened to the men go back and
forth. The locker room was sort of their sanctuary. They could talk about
anything they wanted too in there. As long as they didn’t get down right mean
or disrespectful anything was fair game. But once they stepped into the halls
they’d have their balls cut off by either himself or Colonel Sheppard if they
so much as stared at a female too long.
“Hell I’m still
busy checking out the old ones,” one of the men laughed.
“Yeah no kidding,
have you taken a good look at that woman on Sheppard’s teams? What’s her name…”
the guy trailed off trying to remember Teyla’s name.
Lorne stiffened but
still said nothing, but listened intently.
“She’s off limits
man don’t even bother.”
“What do you mean?”
Snickers and snorts
were heard in stereo around the room. “Sheppard catches you lookin’ at her…” he
trailed off
“What is he fuckin’
her or something?”
“That’s the
impression he gives man but I don’t know they seemed pretty cozy the other…”
Lorne slammed his
locker shut making everyone jump. This conversation needed to be stopped and
stopped right now before it got out of hand. In the midst of their invigorating
conversation they had forgotten he was in the room. Utter silence filled the
room as the men waited for the inevitable speech. Lorne looked at all the men
around the room. Some were not new and knew the rules,
others were new to the system of how Atlantis worked. “I’m only gonna say this
once…” he trailed off as he slid his shirt on. “…you treat the women hear with
respect and that includes the natives.” In other words ‘keep your hands, eyes,
and everything else away from any woman that doesn’t want your
attention…especially Teyla Emmagan or John Sheppard will have your head’.
“I was just making
an observation sir,” the man that inquired about Teyla and Sheppard explained.
Lorne clenched his
jaw, “No, you were making an assumption. We may be in a completely different
galaxy but we still have rumor mills and scuttle around here and the last thing
you need is for Colonel Sheppard to catch wind of you spreading rumors he’s
fucking his second in command!” he grabbed his bag then addressed his audience
silently for a moment. “You can talk about all the women you like gentlemen…but
I advice you don’t use names to cover your own asses cause believe me you don’t
want myself or Sheppard getting a hold of you.” With that he left the men to
sulk in their own realizations.
It wasn’t until
later that he ran into Teyla. He was in the middle of eating lunch when she
approached him with a welcoming smile.
“Mind if I join you
Major?” she asked politely.
He looked up
surprised and couldn’t help but look around for Sheppard, Ronon or even McKay. “Uh,
sure, have a seat,” he motioned for her to sit down
and began to pick at his food again. The incident in the locker room earlier
still plagued his mind and the fact that the very reason for that incident just
sat right in front of him didn’t help either. He knew Teyla was very intuitive
and she would sense something was brothering him.
“Are you alright Major?” bless her heart she sounded so concerned. Most of
the time he would consider her a Godsend but not at the moment. If anything he
wanted to crawl off into a whole and forget the whole thing.
“Major?”
He looked up
quickly and shook his head with a tired laugh, “Uh, I’m just tired I’m okay
really…it’s nothing.”
She nodded lightly
and looked down at her salad and poked around the vegetables. “Colonel Sheppard
mentioned that your team had some down time coming,” she started. “…I was
wondering if you were interested in joining the Colonel and I
for a sparring session later in the week?”
He took a large
bite out of his sandwich and nodded an affirmative. He didn’t trust himself to
speak. If he spoke he would spill about the locker room to her and he didn’t
want to do that in the least. There would be no doubt it would get back to
Sheppard and that’s the last thing he wanted to deal with was a severely pissed
off John Sheppard on his hands. He finished chewing and wiped his mouth with a
napkin, “Sure, that’d be great.” He tried to sound some what enthusiastic but
it came across more bland.
She tilted her head
and observed him for a moment. “Are you sure you are alright Major?” she
inquired gently.
He sighed and
rubbed his eyes. He couldn’t believe he was about to tell her even though her
name would be excluded. “I’m fine really there was just this…situation in the
locker room earlier is all. It’s been taken care of,” he half explained.
“Oh,” she replied.
“Some of the new
guys were making insinuations about y…” he stopped when he realized what he was
about say. “…like I said I took care of it.” He heard Teyla chuckle lightly and
looked up.
“It is alright
Major, I hear comments all the time,” she tried to put him at ease but it
didn’t seem to help.
“Comments are fine
and dandy when they’re wanted but when you say your commanding officer is
screwing one of his team members it tends to cause dissention in the ranks,”
and there, it was out in the open before he realized it, again. He slowly made
eye contact with her and bit the inside of his lip. She stared at him with
mild shock. “Teyla…”
“…please excuse
me,” she quickly stood and gathered her plate and walked off.
Lorne dropped his
sandwich and ran his hand through his hair.
Shit……
And there he stood.
How was he going to explain himself? Could he explain himself? No, there was no
easy way out of this one. Lorne took a deep breath and was about to explain himself when Sheppard wheeled around and decked him, hard,
Lorne hit the floor.
“You son of a bitch!”
Damn, he is pissed
Lorne sat up and spit
some blood, luckily it wasn’t broken. “Guess I deserve that,” he picked himself
up and faced Sheppard. He felt he needed to explain himself. “I’m sorry John it
just slipped out I never meant to tell her.” He paused to wipe at his nose and
stood himself up.
.
"Why in the hell was it being mentioned in the first
place?!" Sheppard boomed getting in Lorne's face.
Lorne sighed and tested the tenderness of his nose. "The other day in the
locker room some of the men were going back and forth like they normally
do. Teyla got brought up and I stopped it before anything was really
said."
"Who were the men?"
Before Lorne could stop himself he shook his head no. "I took care of it
John. The only reason Teyla found out was because she approached me at lunch
later that same day and I was still pissed about it and it slipped out I'm
sorry. The men haven't said anything else they wouldn't dare."
"I want their names," John stated eerily calm.
"Why, so you can go beat the crap out of them then get court-martialed and
sent back to Earth...you think that's what Teyla wants John," Lorne knew
he was walking a fine line but it was the truth.
Sheppard continued to stare Lorne down then looked away for a moment.
"Alright, I'll believe that you've taken care of the problem for now but
the next time something like this happens I want it reported to me
immediately you got that Major."
Lorne nodded, "Yes sir."
They stood in silence for a moment then Sheppard pointed at Lorne's nose.
"Is it broke?"
Lorne chuckled, "No, it's just busted real good. You pack quit a punch
Colonel."
Sheppard had the audacity to look embarrassed. "Yeah well, you should get
down and see Beckett then head up to Dr. Weir's office..."
"...I don't need to see Dr. Weir sir...I ran into the wall when
I wasn't paying attention," with that Lorne turned and walked off to
leave John to what ever vices he needed to sort out.
Now I leave it up to
you…what should happen between John and Teyla now?
