Characters: Predominately Rodney and John and the bad guy
Notes: Not Human challenge; sequel to McKay's Big Secret . Also, this is "The Flashfic That Would Not End" -- it grew so large it needs two parts to post. Stupid chatty muse...
Summary: News of Rodney's ability spreads to the wrong person.
By Enola Jones
Rodney walked into the sublevel and looked around. “Chadwick?”
“Over here, Doctor!” Chadwick called.
Turning toward the sound of his voice, Rodney headed that way. “Okay, so why exactly did Colonel Sheppard tell you to—“ His voice ended in a startled “….eep?” and his eyes widened as he skidded to a stop.
Chadwick smirked, holding the gun level, pointed between Rodney’s eyes. “The radio, Doctor.”
“Wh-what?”
“Give me the radio. And don’t try anything funny with it.”
Slowly, eyes on the gun, Rodney raised his hand and slid the earpiece off.
Chadwick held out his hand. “Don’t even think of using your powers in here. You do, and I’ll shoot you where you stand.”
“My what? What are you talking about?”
“Don’t play stupid, McKay. I overheard that conversation with Beckett. I know you’re not human.”
Rodney drew himself up. “Now hold on a second!”
“Shut up!” Chadwick spat. “You’ve got powers – you’re a monster like every other mutant out there!”
“Look—“
“I said shut up! No – on second thought, don’t. Talk to me.” He took a step closer. “Tell me what it feels like to use your power. Tell me if you get off on it. Tell me how it feels to unleash it. Tell me how it feels to bring down a building with a thought and crush the life out of a child!”
Rodney’s eyes widened. “I can’t do that – wouldn’t intentionally if I could!”
“Liar!” And Chadwick swung the gun, cracking Rodney across the mouth and crumpling him into a heap on the ground. “You’re a damned liar!”
“No….”
“You’re a mutant!”
“……yes…..”
“Mutants kill kids!”
“No! No…”
“She was only ten, McKay! We waited hours for rescue – and she died in my arms! She was only ten!”
“I’m sorry –“
“I doubt it! Mutants can’t feel remorse!”
“It wasn’t me…”
“Doesn’t matter. You’re a mutant. That’s good enough for me.” He pointed the gun again. “This is for my sister, McKay.” And he cocked it.
Rodney’s hand flashed upwards, and Chadwick screamed as gun and hand up past the wrist were encased in crystal.
“Please tell me you’ve heard enough!” Rodney yelled.
“More than enough,” John scowled as the doors opened and he, Ronon, and Lorne walked in.
Chadwick swung his encased hand toward Lorne. “Major! Look, he assaulted me—“
Lorne shook his head. “That’s not assault, Chadwick. That’s self-defense.” He suddenly punched Chadwick, sending him spinning to the ground. “That was assault.” He addressed John, though he didn’t take his eyes off Chadwick. “A request, sir?”
“Yes, Major?” John asked, one hand hauling Rodney to his feet.
Lorne glared at Chadwick. “Get this… person… out of my sight.”
“With pleasure,” Ronon said, jerking Chadwick to his feet. “McKay?” he asked, grasping Chadwick’s arm and holding it out – away from all of them.
Rodney nodded, and the crystal dissolved.
Chadwick’s hand spasmed and the gun went off. The bullet went harmlessly into the wall, and when Ronon applied pressure to his wrist, the gun fell to the floor.
Rodney looked at Chadwick. “I am sorry about your sister,” he said – and meant it.
Chadwick glared at him. “I hope you burn in hell, mutant.”
“All right, let’s go.” And Ronon dragged the struggling, cursing Chadwick away. Lorne followed, struck dumb by his own rage.
John laid a hand on Rodney’s arm. “You okay?”
“Physically,” Rodney said, meeting his eyes. “Tell me I’m human. Even if it’s a lie, tell me.”
The hand moved to grip the back of Rodney’s neck. “I won’t lie to you,” John said firmly. “You are human. You’re just – gifted. Physically as well as intellectually.”
That brought a small smile to Rodney’s face.
John bored his eyes into Rodney’s. “And you will never become the kind of monster he described.”
“How can you be so sure?”
“Easy.” John grinned crookedly. “We won’t let you.”
And Rodney let out a single, soft sob as he relaxed into John’s grip.
THE END

Date: 2008-01-13 01:13 pm (UTC)I really liked Rodney's superpower. I don't follow the comics, so I don't know if it's an original superpower or not, but it's a cool one.

Date: 2008-01-14 06:38 am (UTC)Rodney's the second character to have it. I 'test-ran' it on the Fifth Doctor.
And thank you!
And ICON LOVE!
