Rememberance. Part 5.
John break from his worse memories were short lived. Again, John is forced to see the burial of his mother. Nancy, his ex-wife, is standing by his side comforting him and as John brings her hand up to kiss it you can see that she has a wedding ring on. Immediately after, other horrible events immerge onto the screen. His ordeal while he was in the war and the friends he lost. He and Nancy getting divorce and the fight with his family that follows after.
Again, John tries to fight his haunting memories. As he struggles in the chair and he restrains to verbalize his pain, many flashes of more pleasant memories appear. Some were from Earth, but most of his memories are of him in Atlantis.
They hear his laughter and those of Ronon, Rodney and Teyla. They are sitting around a table in the mess hall. Other images appear, Teyla’s smile, Ronon drinking beer, him beating Rodney at chess and many other people in Atlantis. In between those are John and his friends in the service doing similar things, like watching football and playing practical jokes.
John’s breathing becomes more laborious and the monitors indicate that his heart rate is becoming dangerously high. Those who were working on a solution to shut the machine down watch helplessly.
The screen grew dark again and lasted for several minutes. Almost as if it was giving John a break, but this time he didn’t talk. His eyes are barely open as he tries to look around to his friends. They can see the exhaustion plastered on his face. Teyla, Sam and Ronon try to give him words of encouragement. He closes eyes and the whole thing begins again.
They witness him fighting in combat during the war and his struggles to save his friends and losing many. When he finally gets to go home he has trouble coping. Nancy has a hard time understanding why he is so different and his family comes to her defense. They have a heated argument and when he gets a call to help in a mission, to find any MIA soldiers, he jumps at the chance. Shortly after, he gets some divorce papers and he signs them reluctantly.
After showing the events that he struggled with on Earth they begin to see his burdens from Atlantis. Starting with the culling on Athos, him having to kill Sumner and releasing the Wraith. The loss of Ford, Carson and Weir hit John pretty hard. He goes a secret place to let out his frustrations. A place where no one can hear or see him, while he let out his rage by screaming at the top of his lung. Everyone grows silent and some shed some tears, including Teyla.
John’s monitor indicates they his is getting weaker by the moments. His struggles between the hard memories are few and far between now. Nobody knows what to say. Unless Mckay and the science team are able to shut it down there is no hope for John.
Ronon hears the conversation between John and Teyla when they thought he was going to leave Atlantis to be with his Satedan friends. Ronon hangs his head down in sadness.
They all witness John’s nightmare with the crystal entity. Rodney, for the first sees how John would react to his death. He forces himself not to choke up.
The next event is the worse one they witness. At first it seems to be a minor memory, John is alone with Teyla and she begins to tell him that she’s pregnant. She explains the whole story and John silently listens. She thanks him for being understanding and leaves. They next scene is something no one expected. John goes to his room and begins to throw stuff around. He leaves and begins to go to his secret place. The screen goes black.
John begins to yell in pain. He tries to force more pleasant memories to the surface but he is so weak that it’s difficult. In between the more cheerful recollections they see glimpses of John going ballistic.
“Way to go John!” he roars. “She’s pregnant by another man! Why didn’t you just tell her before how you feel! You idiot!”
Tears flow down Teyla’s face. She looks at Ronon with deep sadness.
“Did you know about this?” she asks him. He shakes his head no.
