Misappropriations Part 2
Spoiler:
“What the hell is this?” John asked angrily as he slapped the manual down on Colonel Carter’s desk, causing her to slightly jump. She looked up at him, a tired, annoyed look smeared upon her usually smiling face. “Which part, Colonel? I’ve had nothing but complaints since I handed them out, so excuse me if you’ll have to be a bit more specific.”
John grabbed the manual back into his hands and flipped to the coffee stained page that had caused his appearance in her office at this late hour. He cleared his throat and began to read aloud.
“Section V, appendix 8, of the chapter entitled ‘Intergalactic Relationship Guidelines’. And to no exception, may any staff member of the Atlantis expedition or any derivatives thereof, engage in any manner, a romantic and/or sexual relationship with any being or persons not birthed of the planet Earth. The consequences of an unapproved relationship of anything further than a mild kinship and/or business arrangement will result in immediate dismissal of stationed post and a hearing for misappropriations by an appointed committee will commence.”
“Shall I go on?” he asked with a look of disgust on his face. Colonel Carter sighed and stood, walking slowly over to Colonel Sheppard and leaning back onto her desk. “Colonel, I agree, these rules are a bit…….overprotective, but they are in place for a reason. We don’t know the consequences of having relations with all of the species in the Pegasus Galaxy. Other species that have different anatomies and physiologies, other species whose mating rituals differ from our own. The scientist in me agrees with this rule, we don’t know how it could affect the safety of Atlantis. The bottom line is, anyone engaging in such behavior will be in violation of the guidelines and therefore dismissed from duty.”
She stopped speaking and looked strangely at Colonel Sheppard for a moment, taking in his demeanor. “What’s this about, Colonel? All the other complaints I’ve had so far had nothing to do with the relationship section of the manual.”
John turned quickly to leave before she could examine his behavior any further. He was furious and did not want to discuss the matter any longer. He mumbled an excuse and hastily fled the office, heading in an unknown direction.
He soon found himself standing outside the training room doors. He expected to find Ronon and Dr. Keller still inside when he peered in, but instead found Teyla and one of the many female marines of the expedition.
He stood in shadow and watched as they trained, Teyla’s expert skills showing with each and every move she made. His heart beat fast and his mind spun with thoughts as he continued to watch unseen.
Although he was unsure if he would have ever acted on his hidden feelings for her, this new regulation enraged him with renewed passion for his buried desire. If she had ever felt unattainable to him before, this was much, much worse and he watched her with an intense longing that filled him with ideas he dare not speak aloud.
