Happy Birthday October Kiddies!!!
Not Just an Ordinary Birthday: Part 1
Spoiler:
As John gets out of his bed he releases a small moan. His body is beginning to feel its age and the idea of him reaching a new milestone for his birthday didn’t help either. He was promised by his team mates that they wouldn’t make a big idea of it, but he saw the glint in Ronon’s eyes and the smirk on
Rodney’s face. Teyla just gave him a sympathetic smile.
He knows that forty isn’t really old, but all the battles, beatings and stress for the past five years have definitely not made it easy. He sighs as he looks in the mirror and sees the bags under his eyes, the wrinkles in various places on his face and the grey in his hair. Then he huffs as he smirks and remembers a remark that Teyla had said a few days back.
----------
Rodney started pointing out all of John’s flaws, including his grey hair and Teyla quickly dismissed him and tried to make John feel better, Ronon was too busy trying not to laugh.
“Do not listen to them John,” as she shot them a disagreeable look. “I think it makes you more handsome.”
John was about to make a snide comment, since he thought she was just saying it to humor him, but then he saw her smile. He knew right then she was being genuine.
“Why, thank you for that Teyla,” he said with a flirtatious smile.
Rodney rolls his eyes, “I can’t believe this. Even as you get older, women still think you’re good looking. I get older and all I get is….”
John raises an eyebrow while he waits patiently for Rodney to finish. Teyla and Ronon grin as they wait as well.
Rodney clears his throat, “Never mind.”
Rodney makes an excuse that he needs to go somewhere and the rest of them leave to go to the infirmary.
----------
John feels fortunate that today is going to be an easy day. Ronon, Teyla and Keller are off world helping a sick village and Rodney is planning to do more research into Janus’ lab. So, he has the whole day to do some golf, video games and listen to some music.
The last thing he wants to think about is his birthday coming up in a few days and full day of “fun” should guarantee it. Unfortunately, he gets bored fairly quickly without his friends and decides to go to the lab to see how Rodney is doing.
----------
As John walks into the once secret lab, he sees Rodney and Radek looking at the different equipments and finding whatever research they can in Janus’ files.
“How’s it going?” John asks.
Rodney sighs, “Slow. Some of Janus’ notes are vague about what these things are and others just say that he had to stop using it without a reason why.”
“There’s also a mention of a device that he made. It had something to do with improving ones vitality, but we haven’t found it yet,” Radek interjects.
“Maybe he got rid of it or it got stolen,” John suggests.
“Noooo, I have a feeling it’s here, but maybe in another secret area,” Rodney responds. He gives John a curious look. “I thought you were going to spend your day doing a bunch of you games and stuff.”
“Yeah, well I changed my mind,” John answers plainly.
As John crosses the room to look at some odd symbols on one of the walls, a platform underneath him activates and raises him up with it.
“Um, Rodney,” he says nervously.
“Oh,” Radek simply remarks.
“What did you do?” Rodney barks.
“Nothing, I was just walking to see that wall over there and as I crossed the room, this thing came on,” John responds innocently.
Before Rodney could ask John to get down, a beam encompasses him. Shortly after, the platform descends and John collapse to the floor. Rodney calls for a medical team and he is rushed to the infirmary.
Once John gets to the infirmary, he wakes up. The tests can’t find anything wrong and John says that he feels fine. He says that he hasn’t this good in ages. Rodney wants to try the device as well, but Radek points out what happened to him last time and suggest some caution.
