Rodney’s head jerked to the side when he heard Carson’s outburst about his wee turtles. Shaking his head, he resisted the urge to roll his eyes at the other man’s dramatics. However, when Sheppard made his comment about turtle soup, Rodney found himself softly snorting. It was good for Beckett to get teased sometimes. Plus it was fun.

Turning his attention back to his tablet, Rodney punched in a few more things before looking toward the front of the jumper. This had to work. There was no way any of them were going to allow the SGC to blow up Atlantis because of a few Replicators. “The hack is finished and--.”

Before Rodney could finish his sentence, their was a burst of bright light. He shielded his eyes as he suddenly felt like he was falling from the sky. He tried to say something but the words wouldn’t come out. Suddenly, the feeling of falling stopped and he landed on the ground with a thud.

“Ow,” he muttered as he spit out a mouthful of grass.

Rodney lifted his head a bit and looked around. It looked like he was in the middle of a grassy field. Had Sheppard crashed the jumper? If so, then where were the rest of them?

Slowly he stood, looking down at the small scratches on his hand, before he looked around. “Elizabeth? John? Carson?” he said, his voice barely above a whisper. “Anyone?”

There was movement in one of the bushes so Rodney jerked his gun out of his thigh holster and pointed it. “I have a gun!” he said in a high pitched voice. What if it was Wraith coming out of the bushes? He needed to sound scarier. “And I know how to use it! I’ll shoot you if I have to!”

His hands were shaking but he still cocked his gun. Rodney wasn’t about to let some Wraith have him for lunch!

Carson walked careful through the corridor, the container held out in front of him. His heart was practically thudding in his ears, but he couldn't let himself be distracted. He needed to reach the bomb squad and pass this off, so they could get it to where they could safely dispose of the bloody thing.

Taking a deep breath, he looked up the corridor, where he saw the squad waiting. Just a few more steps. One...two...three... Steady there, Carson. Rodney will never let you live this down...

When he reached the squad, he carefully handed off the container and let out a deep breath before turning around and walking away. However, just as he put his hand up to activate his headset, there was a bright flash of light all around him along with heat that seemed to penetrate his skin.

And the next thing, he knew he was face down on the ground. But not the floor in Atlantis. There were grasses and bushes around him. And when he turned over to look up at the sky, letting out a soft groan, he saw a sun overhead.

The tumor must have exploded. Was this heaven?

But then he heard someone yelling, saying the had a gun. Rodney? Oh dear lord, had he been caught in the explosion? Was he dead too?

Getting up, he pushed his way out of the bushes. "Rodney, it's me! Don't shoot!" Frowning, he stared at his friend before looking down to see he was in the clothes he had been wearing. "If this is heaven, why do you have a gun? Aren't we supposed to be in white robes?"

Rodney took several deep breaths, readying himself to shoot whatever was behind the bushes. He placed his finger on the trigger and blinked as a bead of sweat rolled into one of his eyes. He was about to shoot when a familiar voice called out to him, followed by Carson coming from out of the bushes. Oh thank god. At least someone else survived the crash. "Carson!" he said as he lowered his gun.

However, Rodney felt the urge to raise it again when Carson started to talk. Heaven? What in the hell was he talking about? Rodney furrowed his brow, and looked Carson over. He first looked to see the other man had a head injury. When he saw he didn't, Rodney's eyes ticked over the rest of Carson's body.

"Heaven? What are you talking about, Carson?" He stopped talking when he noticed Carson's clothes. "What's wrong with your clothes? You had your mission uniform on the last time I saw you. Did the jumper crash knock them off...and then you found new clothes in the bushes?"

None if this made sense. Crashes didn't cause people's clothes to change. Maybe they were in Heaven. Rodney his gun away and looked down at the small spots of blood on his hand. "Do you bleed in Heaven?" he asked.
